The invention discloses a
relay valve with a kink characteristic and a braking method thereof. The
relay valve comprises a control pressure cavity, a
relay valve BC pressure
piston, a BC pressure acting part, a kink valve
piston and a kink valve pressure limiting part. According to the braking method, after the right cavity of the right
piston enters pressure, the right piston reversely moves leftwards under the action of the pressure of the left cavity and the right cavity, under the
heavy load condition, a BC pressure acting part
valve port is closed under the action of the right piston, along with rising of control pressure, a kink valve pressure limiting part is closed, and the pressure in the right cavity of the left piston is constant; the pressure of the left cavity of the left piston is larger than that of the right cavity of the left piston, the left piston moves rightwards under the action of the pressure of the left cavity and the right cavity, a
valve port of the BC pressure acting part is pushed to be opened through the right piston till the
valve port is completely opened, and the kink action is finished. The invention has the beneficial effects of simple principle, compact structure and high
product integration level, and can be used for an SS-pole
truck which is only provided with a
tread brake.
