[0030] Example 1

[0031] See attached document Figure 1 The braking system of a pure electric loader with active braking in this embodiment includes a VCU controller 12, a reversing radar controller 13 and a reversing radar 14 connected in sequence. The VCU controller 12 is electrically connected to an electric proportional brake valve 2.

[0032] The VCU controller 12 is equipped with an active braking module. The active braking module compares the distance data detected by the reversing radar 14 with a set threshold. When the conditions are met, it sends an active braking command to the proportional brake valve 2 to perform active braking.

[0033] In this embodiment, the braking system uses a reversing radar 14 to collect the distance between the rear of the vehicle and an obstacle in real time and sends the real-time distance to the VCU controller 12. The active braking module in the VCU controller 12 compares the real-time distance with a set threshold. When the real-time distance is equal to the set threshold, the active braking module sends a braking command to the proportional brake valve 2 to perform active braking operation.

[0034] The VCU controller 12 is also electrically connected to a braking force air pressure sensor 9 and an air tank pressure sensor 11. It also includes a front brake 7 and a rear brake 6. The front brake 7 is connected to a front booster pump 8 via a brake hose 15, and the rear brake 6 is connected to a rear booster pump 5 via a brake hose 15. The front booster pump 7 and the rear booster pump 8 are connected to a relay valve 10 via a brake hose 15, and the relay valve 10 is connected to the air tank 1 via a brake hose 15. The relay valve 10 is connected to a three-way shuttle valve 4 via a brake hose 15, and the three-way shuttle valve 4 is connected to a foot brake valve 3 and an electro-proportional brake valve 2 via brake hoses 15. The foot brake valve 3 and the electro-proportional brake valve 2 are connected to the air tank 1 via brake hoses 15.

[0035] The active braking module sends an active braking command to the electric proportional braking valve 2 to perform active braking operation. Specifically, the electric proportional braking valve 2 opens, allowing the high-pressure gas in the air reservoir 1 to flow into the control port of the relay valve 10 through the three-way shuttle valve 4. After the relay valve 10 opens, the high-pressure gas flows into the rear booster pump 5 and / or the front booster pump 7, realizing active braking operation, avoiding collisions, and providing safety during vehicle operation.

[0036] The relay valve 10 has a metal filter screen at its air inlet. This effectively prevents impurities from entering the valve body, which could damage the valve and compromise safety. Furthermore, the air outlet has a silencer to effectively reduce exhaust noise.

[0037] The output pressure curve of the foot brake valve 3 is a bi-segment curve with respect to the pedal, and the first half of the curve is configured to be relatively flat compared to the second half. The electro-proportional brake valve 2 is current-controlled, and the output pressure is directly proportional to the current. The three-way shuttle valve 4 selects the maximum pressure output at its two inlet ends. The reversing radar 14 is an ultrasonic radar.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
