Description

Technical Field

In contrast, traditional vacuum boosters have a fixed assist ratio, which can lead to excessive braking at low speeds and insufficient assistance under high speeds and heavy loads. In addition, traditional boosters have defects in structural design and materials, such as easy aging of seals and easy wear and jamming of mechanical parts, resulting in vacuum leakage and frequent failures. They are unable to meet the needs of complex working conditions, affecting the reliability of the braking system and the driving experience. Utility Model Content

A pushing device 5 is movably connected to the middle of the upper end of the dust control cover 1. A brake pedal connector 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pushing device 5. A diaphragm 8 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the lower housing 3 and is located in the lower part of the upper housing 2. The diaphragm 8 divides the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 3 into an upper chamber 9 and a lower chamber 10. A through hole 11 is opened in the middle of the upper end of the diaphragm 8. The lower part of the pushing device 5 passes through the through hole 11 and is located in the lower part of the lower housing 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pushing device 5 includes a push rod 50, which is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the brake pedal connector 6. A fluororubber upper stop block 51 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the push rod 50.

A lifting valve 54 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the push rod 50, and a control pressing component 55 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting valve 54. The fluororubber upper stop block 51 is located inside the dustproof control cover 1. The upper end face of the fluororubber upper stop 51 is tightly abutted against but not fixed to the inner upper wall of the dust control cover 1. The end of the spring 52 away from the fluororubber upper stop 51 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper housing 2. The fluororubber block 53 matches the size of the upper through hole 7.

[0027] Through the above scheme: when the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is transmitted to the push rod 50 through the brake pedal connector 6.

The diameter area of ​​the rubber reaction disc 554 is equal to the inner diameter area of ​​the base frame 551. The rubber reaction disc 554 is located above the four vents 552. The rubber reaction disc 554 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting valve 54.

[0029] Through the above scheme: the bottom frame 551 firmly connects the lower housing 3 and the diaphragm 8, providing rigid support for the components; the vent 552 can balance the air pressure and avoid abnormal stress on the components due to uneven pressure; the second spring 553 cooperates with the rubber reaction disc 554. When the push rod 50 drives the lifting valve 54 to press down, the rubber reaction disc 554 is deformed by pressure, and the second spring 553 buffers and absorbs energy, reducing mechanical impact and wear. The rubber reaction disc 554 matches the inner diameter of the bottom frame 551, which can effectively reduce the risk of vacuum leakage, improve system reliability, adapt to complex working conditions, and ensure stable braking assist performance and driving experience.

[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is a vacuum booster with a variable assist ratio. During use, firstly, the vacuum source connecting pipe 4 is connected to the vacuum source, creating a vacuum environment in the lower chamber 10. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake pedal connector 6 drives the push rod 50 downwards. The fluororubber upper stop block 51 tightly abuts against the inner wall of the dust control cover 1, preventing dust accumulation. Spring 52 is compressed, and the fluororubber block 53 tightly fits with the upper through hole 7 to ensure a tight seal. The push rod 50 pushes the lifting valve 54 through the through hole 11 on the diaphragm 8, changing the air pressure balance between the upper chamber 9 and the lower chamber 10. Meanwhile, in the control assembly 55, the rubber reaction disc... Under the action of the lifting valve 54, spring 553 is squeezed, while the air vent 552 balances the air pressure. The assist ratio is dynamically adjusted according to the pedal force and vehicle operating conditions. After the brake pedal is released, spring 52 and spring 553 return to their original positions, and the booster returns to its initial state. Therefore, through ingenious structural design, the push rod 50, lifting valve 54 and control pressing component 55 work together to achieve dynamic adjustment of the assist ratio. At the same time, the fluororubber sealing component and precise dimensional matching effectively improve sealing performance and reliability, solving the problems of fixed assist ratio and easy structural damage in traditional boosters, and providing drivers with a safer, more comfortable and reliable braking experience.
