Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] The embodiments described while referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. <0***0113><0***0114><0***0115>In the description of this disclosure, orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “length,” “width,” “thickness,” “top,” “bottom,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inside,” “outside,” “clockwise,” “counterclockwise,” “axial,” “radial,” and “circumferential” are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used solely to facilitate and simplify the description of this disclosure. It should be understood that these terms do not indicate or suggest that the described apparatus or component must have a particular orientation or must be configured and operated in a particular orientation. Therefore, such terms should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0028] In the descriptions of this disclosure, “multiple” means two or more.

[0029] A vehicle braking system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 11, the vehicle braking system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a brake fluid control assembly 100, a connecting oil pipe 300, and a brake master cylinder assembly 200.

[0031] The brake fluid control assembly 100 includes a manifold block 110 and a pressure booster 120. The pressure booster 120 is mounted on the manifold block 110. A manifold block port is provided on the side of the manifold block 110, and one end of a connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to the manifold block port 111. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged separately. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 is provided with an assembly port 210. The other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to the assembly port 210. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 communicates with the brake fluid control assembly 100 via the connecting oil pipe 300. Both the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the pressure booster 120 can drive brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110. In this embodiment, the assembly port is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In another embodiment, an assembly port is provided on the end face of the brake master cylinder assembly 200.

[0032] For example, the vehicle braking system 1 may include a brake pedal, a sensor, and a brake wheel cylinder 150. The brake pedal is electrically connected to a brake master cylinder assembly 200. The sensor is electrically connected to a pressure booster 120. The sensor is configured to detect changes in the movement of the brake pedal. The brake wheel cylinder 150 is in communication with a manifold block 110. The brake wheel cylinder 150 is configured to receive brake fluid output by the manifold block 110.

[0033] When the brake pedal is pressed, the sensor can detect a change in displacement or angle of the brake pedal. For example, the sensor can be a displacement sensor or an angle sensor. In this case, the sensor sends an electrical signal to the pressure booster 120 to control the pressure booster 120 to increase the pressure. As a result, brake fluid is pressurized and enters the brake wheel cylinder 150, causing the brake wheel cylinder 150 to brake the wheel.

[0034] If the vehicle braking system 1 is not activated when the brake pedal is pressed, the sensor or the pressure booster 120 will be damaged. As a result, the pressure booster 120 will not be able to increase the pressure, and the brake master cylinder assembly 200 will be pressed by the brake pedal. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 will pressurize the brake fluid and put it into the brake wheel cylinder 150, so that the brake wheel cylinder 150 will brake the wheel.

[0035] Thus, the vehicle braking system 1 has two braking methods. In one method, braking is performed entirely by mechanical control using the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In the other method, braking is performed by a combination of mechanical and electrical control through the cooperation of the pressure booster 120 and sensors. Therefore, the braking accuracy and reliability of the vehicle braking system 1 can be guaranteed.

[0036] In the vehicle braking system 1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged separately. Compared to vehicle braking systems in related technologies in which the brake master cylinder assembly and the brake fluid control assembly are mounted integrally, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 in the vehicle braking system 1 according to the embodiment of this disclosure are arranged independently. Therefore, the arrangement position and mounting method can be made more flexible, and space utilization can be improved. Furthermore, disassembly and assembly are convenient, and the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 do not need to occupy large separate spaces.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are located separately, they are separated and mounted separately. In another embodiment, when the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are located separately, the cylinder body of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the body of the manifold block 110 cannot be connected integrally. In this case, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is detachably mounted to the brake fluid control assembly 100 by a screw connection or the like. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 includes a cylinder body and a piston located within the cylinder body. The movement of the piston within the cylinder body drives and causes the brake fluid to flow.

[0038] The brake fluid control assembly 100 is configured to include a manifold block 110 and a pressure booster 120. The pressure booster 120 is mounted on the manifold block 110. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 communicates with the manifold block 110 via a connecting oil pipe 300. Both the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the pressure booster 120 can drive the brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110. In other words, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 can independently drive the brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110. The pressure booster 120 can independently drive the brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110. Alternatively, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the pressure booster 120 can independently drive the brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110.

[0039] The oil circuit can be located within the manifold block 110. The oil circuit communicates separately with the pressure booster 120, the brake master cylinder assembly 200, and the brake wheel cylinder 150. Thus, both the pressure booster 120 and the brake master cylinder assembly 200 can output brake fluid to the brake wheel cylinder 150 via the manifold block 110. Both the pressure booster 120 and the brake master cylinder assembly 200 utilize the oil circuit within the manifold block 110. Therefore, the degree of integration of the oil circuit in the vehicle braking system 1 can be improved, and the spatial occupation and processing complexity of the vehicle braking system 1 can be reduced.

[0040] Furthermore, one end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to the manifold block port 111 on the side of the manifold block 110, and the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to the assembly port 210 on the outer surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. The two ends of the connecting oil pipe 300 are in communication with the manifold block port 111 and the assembly port 210, respectively. The brake master cylinder assembly 200 outputs brake fluid to the manifold block 110 via the connecting oil pipe 300.

[0041] Thus, the method of connecting the connecting oil pipe 300 to the manifold block 110 is more diverse, and the method of connecting the connecting oil pipe 300 to the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is also more diverse. Therefore, the arrangement of the manifold block 110, the connecting oil pipe 300, and the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is more flexible. The vehicle braking system 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the vehicle model, and the vehicle braking system 1 has high adaptability. Therefore, it is not necessary to redesign the vehicle braking system 1 according to the vehicle model, and thus the research and development period is shortened.

[0042] Therefore, the vehicle braking system 1 according to the embodiments of this disclosure has advantages such as a flexible deployment method, a short research and development period, and high practicality.

[0043] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to one side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 that faces the brake fluid control assembly 100. In this way, the length of the connecting oil pipe 300 is reduced, thereby reducing cost and weight. The reduced length of the connecting oil pipe 300 also reduces the resistance to the flow of brake fluid within the connecting oil pipe 300.

[0044] According to certain embodiments of this disclosure, a plurality of connecting oil pipes 300 are provided, as shown in Figures 1 to 3. In this way, a greater flow rate of brake fluid is achieved, which is output to the manifold block 110 by the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Thus, multiple wheels of the vehicle are braked simultaneously, resulting in a better braking effect and higher braking efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, one end of each of the multiple connecting oil pipes 300 is connected to different or the same side of the manifold block 110. In other words, the manifold block ports 111 are configured on different or the same side of the manifold block 110. Thus, the method of connecting the connecting oil pipes 300 to the manifold block 110 is more diverse and flexible. When the vehicle braking system 1 is applied to different vehicle models, the method of connecting the manifold block 110 to the connecting oil pipes 300 can be adjusted in time according to the vehicle model, thereby improving the applicability of the vehicle braking system 1.

[0046] In addition, the other ends of the multiple connecting oil pipes 300 are connected to the same side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and are spaced apart along the axial direction of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Alternatively, the other ends of the multiple connecting oil pipes 300 are connected to different sides of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In other words, the assembly ports 210 can be configured on the same side or different sides of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Thus, the method of connecting the connecting oil pipes 300 to the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is more diverse and flexible. When the vehicle braking system 1 is applied to different vehicle configurations, the method of connecting the brake master cylinder assembly 200 to the connecting oil pipes 300 can be adjusted in time according to the vehicle model, thereby improving the applicability of the vehicle braking system 1.

[0047] According to certain embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, a first pipe opening 220 and a second pipe opening 230 are configured on the outer circumferential surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. The first pipe opening 220 and the second pipe opening 230 have different orientations. The other end of a connecting oil pipe 300 can be selectively connected to one of the first pipe opening 220 and the second pipe opening 230. The first pipe opening 220 and the second pipe opening 230 can be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Furthermore, an assembly port 210 includes the first pipe opening 220 and the second pipe opening 230.

[0048] For example, the relative positions of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the manifold block 110 can vary depending on the vehicle model. By providing a first pipe opening 220 and a second pipe opening 230, the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 can be selectively connected to the closer pipe opening on the manifold block 110. For example, if the distance between the first pipe opening 220 and the manifold block 110 is less than the distance between the second pipe opening 230 and the manifold block 110, the connecting oil pipe 300 must be connected to the first pipe opening 220 and the second pipe opening 230 must be closed. Thus, the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is protected from leakage through the second pipe opening 230. If the distance between the first pipe opening 220 and the manifold block 110 is greater than the distance between the second pipe opening 230 and the manifold block 110, the connecting oil pipe 300 must be connected to the second pipe opening 230, and the first pipe opening 220 must be closed. Thus, the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is protected from leakage through the first pipe opening 220.

[0049] Thus, the length of the connecting oil pipe 300 can be made shorter. Furthermore, more connection methods can be achieved between the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 and the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Therefore, the applicability of the vehicle braking system 1 can be improved.

[0050] According to certain embodiments of this disclosure, either the first pipe opening 220 or the second pipe opening 230 may be provided in the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Details are as follows.

[0051] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged along the width direction (i.e., left-right direction) of the vehicle body. In this way, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 do not occupy excessive size along the length direction (i.e., front-rear direction) and height direction (i.e., up-down direction) of the vehicle body. When the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged along the left-right direction, they are arranged along the left-right direction with respect to the direction from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle as the forward direction. In some embodiments, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is on the left side and the brake fluid control assembly 100 is on the right side. In another embodiment, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 may be on the right side and the brake fluid control assembly 100 may be on the left side. In other embodiments, when the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged along the left-right direction, they may be arranged along a direction other than the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. For example, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is located on the rear right side in the direction from the rear to the front of the vehicle, and the brake fluid control assembly 100 is located on the front left side in the direction from the rear to the front of the vehicle.

[0052] Furthermore, a first pipe opening 220 is provided, which is located on one side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 facing the brake fluid control assembly 100 in the left-right direction. In other words, the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to one side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 facing the brake fluid control assembly 100 in the width direction of the vehicle body. In this way, the length of the connecting oil pipe 300 is reduced, thereby reducing cost and weight. Also, the reduced length of the connecting oil pipe 300 reduces the resistance to the flow of brake fluid within the connecting oil pipe 300.

[0053] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figure 3, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged along the height direction (i.e., vertical direction) of the vehicle body, with the brake master cylinder assembly 200 positioned just above the brake fluid control assembly 100. In this way, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 do not occupy excessive size along the length direction (i.e., front-to-back direction) and width direction (i.e., left-to-right direction) of the vehicle body. Furthermore, under the action of gravity, the brake fluid within the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is more likely to flow through the connecting oil pipe 300 to the manifold block 110, thus improving brake response efficiency. In another embodiment, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 and the brake fluid control assembly 100 are arranged along the height direction (i.e., vertical direction) of the vehicle body. Furthermore, in the vertical direction, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 is positioned diagonally above the brake fluid control assembly 100.

[0054] Furthermore, a second pipe opening 230 is provided, which is located on the underside of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In other words, the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 is connected to the underside of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In this way, the length of the connecting oil pipe 300 is reduced, thereby reducing cost and weight. Also, the reduced length of the connecting oil pipe 300 reduces the resistance to the flow of brake fluid within the connecting oil pipe 300.

[0055] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 7, the fluid inlet 240 is located on the outer circumferential surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. The fluid inlet 240 is located on the upper side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. The fluid inlet 240 is suitable for communicating with the vehicle's oil reservoir. The other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 and the fluid inlet 240 are located on different sides of the outer circumferential surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200.

[0056] For example, the oil reservoir can be an oil kettle. By providing a fluid inlet 240, the oil reservoir can supply brake fluid to the brake master cylinder assembly 200. Therefore, the brake master cylinder assembly 200 can be used repeatedly. Furthermore, the fluid inlet 240 and the other end of the connecting oil pipe 300 are not located on the same side of the outer surface of the brake master cylinder assembly 200. In this way, interference between the pipeline communicating with the fluid inlet 240 and the connecting oil pipe 300 can be avoided. Also, the fluid inlet 240 is located on the upper side of the brake master cylinder assembly 200, and the brake fluid entering from the fluid inlet 240 flows into the brake master cylinder assembly 200 under the action of gravity.

[0057] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 8 to 11, the fluid outlet 112 is configured on the side of the manifold block 110, and the manifold block 110 outputs brake fluid to the brake wheel cylinder 150 via the fluid outlet 112. Thus, the fluid outlet 112 is also configured on the side of the manifold block 110, so that the fluid outlet 112 does not occupy the top and bottom surfaces of the manifold block 110, and the utilization of the side surfaces of the manifold block 110 is improved.

[0058] For example, the pressure booster 120 is a piston pump, and the piston pump is equipped with a motor 121. The motor 121 is mounted on a manifold block 110, and the motor 121 and the fluid outlet 112 are located on the same side of the manifold block 110. Because the motor 121 and the fluid outlet 112 are located on the same side of the manifold block 110, the use of the side of the manifold block 110 for mounting the motor 121 can be improved.

[0059] According to some specific embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the brake fluid control assembly 100 further includes an electrical control unit 130 and an oil supply device 140. The oil supply device 140 is a device capable of supplying brake fluid. In an embodiment, the oil supply device 140 is an oil reservoir (e.g., an oil kettle), and the fluid force of the brake fluid is due to the movement of the piston of the brake master cylinder assembly 200 or the movement of the piston of the pressure booster 120. In other embodiments, the oil supply device 140 may include an oil reservoir (e.g., an oil kettle) and a power device that helps supply fluid force to the oil reservoir.

[0060] As shown in Figures 2 and 11, the electrical control device 130 is mounted on the manifold block 110, and the electrical control device and motor 121 are located on two opposing sides of the manifold block 110, respectively. The electrical control device 130 is provided with a control valve 1301. The control valve 1301 is electrically connected to the pressure booster 120. The control valve 1301 controls whether the pressure booster 120 drives the brake fluid to be output by the manifold block 110 in response to changes in the movement of the vehicle's brake pedal. The control valve 1301 can be a solenoid valve.

[0061] By positioning the electrical control device 130, it can be connected to the sensor to acquire the electrical signal fed back by the sensor. The electrical control device 130 can calculate the displacement distance or rotation angle of the brake pedal in response to the electrical signal fed back by the sensor. Thus, the pressure of the pressure booster 120 can be precisely controlled, so that the braking force of the vehicle matches the braking force required by the driver, improving the braking experience.

[0062] The lubrication device 140 is mounted on the top surface of the manifold block 110. The lubrication device 140 is connected to a piston pump and is configured to supply brake fluid to the piston pump. The lubrication device 140 and the fluid inlet 240 can be connected to the same oil kettle. Alternatively, the lubrication device 140 and the fluid inlet 240 may be connected to different oil kettles. Alternatively, the lubrication device 140 supplies brake fluid directly from the fluid inlet 240 to the brake master cylinder assembly 200. The bottom surface of the manifold block 110 is suitable for connection to the vehicle body. The bottom surface of the manifold block 110 can be mounted to the lateral beam 400 of the front cabin.

[0063] By arranging the lubrication device 140, brake fluid can be supplied to the piston pump to facilitate repeated use of the piston pump and to prepare for the next pressure rise for braking by the piston pump.

[0064] Thus, the lateral beam 400 of the front cabin can support the manifold block 110. The manifold block 110 does not need to be suspended within the front cabin, and there is no need to place additional brackets to support the manifold block 110. The manifold block 110 is stably mounted and its space occupation is reduced. Furthermore, the lubrication device 140 is mounted on the top surface of the manifold block 110.
