Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle braking systems, and in particular to a power-off braking device for an unmanned tractor controlled by a spring cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] Common braking methods for tractors include mechanical parking brakes, pneumatic parking brakes, and electromagnetic power-off parking brakes. Mechanical brakes require manual operation and are not suitable for unmanned vehicles; pneumatic brakes require an air pump and air storage system, resulting in a complex structure and large space requirements; electromagnetic brakes require a dedicated brake bridge, which is costly and lacks versatility. For unmanned pure electric tractors, the motor cannot provide braking force in the event of an abnormal power outage, posing a safety hazard. Existing braking methods are insufficient to meet the requirements of automatic and reliable braking for this type of vehicle in the event of a power outage. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a power-off braking device for unmanned pure electric tractors that is compact in structure, reliable in control, and suitable for use. It is a power-off braking device for unmanned tractors controlled by a spring cylinder that can automatically brake when the vehicle is abnormally powered off.
[0004] This utility model discloses a power-off braking device for an unmanned tractor controlled by a spring-loaded hydraulic cylinder, comprising a spring-loaded brake cylinder, a brake pump valve assembly, a brake controller, a brake linkage mechanism, and a rear axle brake. The spring force of the spring-loaded brake cylinder is preset to be slightly greater than the required force of the brake. The brake pump valve assembly includes a motor, a control valve, a gear pump, an accumulator, and a pressure relay. The brake controller receives signals from the vehicle and controls the operation of the brake pump valve assembly.
[0005] Preferably, the brake pump valve assembly further includes an accumulator pressure relay and a one-way throttle valve. The accumulator is used to maintain oil pressure, the pressure relay is used to detect oil pressure and control the start and stop of the motor and the on / off state of the solenoid valve, and the one-way throttle valve is installed in the return oil chamber of the spring brake cylinder to control the spring release time and reduce the impact during emergency braking.
[0006] Preferably, the spring brake cylinder is a single-acting cylinder, and the spring is disposed in the rodless chamber.
[0007] Preferably, the brake controller controls the solenoid valve to open when the vehicle is abnormally powered off, thereby depressurizing the oil circuit of the spring brake cylinder and achieving braking.
[0008] Preferably, the brake pump valve assembly is connected to the spring brake cylinder via a hydraulic pipeline.

Furthermore, it avoids the problems of traditional braking systems, such as large component size, complex control, and numerous usage limitations.

[0011] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.
[0012] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model includes a spring brake cylinder 1, a brake pump valve assembly 2, a brake controller 3, a brake linkage mechanism 4, and a rear axle brake 5. The spring brake cylinder 1, brake pump valve assembly 2, brake controller 3, and brake linkage mechanism 4 are fixed to the axle by a bracket. The spring brake cylinder 1 is a single-acting cylinder, with the spring located in the rodless chamber, and its spring force slightly greater than the force required by the brake. The brake pump valve assembly 2 includes a motor, a control valve, a gear pump, an accumulator, and a pressure relay. The brake controller 3 receives the start signal from the vehicle controller and controls the operation of the brake pump valve assembly 2; a one-way throttle valve is installed in the spring return chamber. The accumulator extends the spring cylinder's pressure holding time, and the one-way throttle valve controls the spring's release time, thus controlling the impact during emergency braking of the tractor. These components are all integrated into the control valve assembly. The input end of the rear axle brake 5 is connected to a brake rocker arm 6, which is connected to the brake linkage mechanism 4 to transmit braking force.
[0013] This utility model discloses a power-off braking device for an unmanned tractor controlled by a spring-cylinder. During operation, when the vehicle is parked, the spring-cylinder 1 is in the extended state. The spring force is transmitted to the rear axle brake 5 through the brake linkage mechanism 4 and the brake rocker arm 6, achieving parking brake. During driving, the brake controller 3 controls the brake pump valve assembly 2 to start, and oil pressure enters the rod chamber of the spring-cylinder 1, compressing the spring, causing the cylinder to retract and releasing the brake. An accumulator is used to maintain system pressure, and a pressure relay controls the motor's start / stop and the solenoid valve's on / off state based on the oil pressure.
[0014] When the vehicle experiences an abnormal power outage, the solenoid valve in the brake pump valve assembly 2 de-energizes and opens, depressurizing the hydraulic circuit. The spring brake cylinder 1 extends under the action of the spring, pushing the brake linkage mechanism 4 to achieve emergency braking. The one-way throttle valve effectively reduces braking impact by controlling the return oil speed and adjusting the spring release time.
[0015] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
