Threaded Piston Pressure Generator for Constant Brake Pressure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pressure generation systems for braking systems, such as bullwheel tensioners, often fail to provide a constant pressure, leading to inconsistent performance.
Innovation Solution
A pressure generation system comprising a pressure driving device, a sleeve, and a piston that engages with a threaded shaft to compress fluid within the sleeve, providing a constant pressurized fluid supply to the braking system through a pressure line.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional pressure generation methods are used, then pressure can be generated, but the pressure fluctuates and cannot be made constant
Solution Approach 1:
The piston assembly moves in response to pressure changes in the reservoir, creating a feedback mechanism that automatically regulates pressure. When pressure increases, the piston moves to reduce compression; when pressure decreases, the piston returns to maintain compression, thereby maintaining constant pressure delivery to the braking system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static pressure generation to dynamic pressure regulation. The piston assembly dynamically adjusts its position within the sleeve based on real-time pressure conditions, allowing the system to adapt and maintain constant pressure despite variations in fluid volume or external demands.
2Force
If fluid pressure is increased for braking system performance, then braking effectiveness improves, but pressure consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The piston assembly moves in response to pressure changes in the reservoir, creating a feedback mechanism that automatically regulates pressure. When pressure increases, the piston moves to reduce compression; when pressure decreases, the piston returns to maintain compression, thereby maintaining constant pressure delivery to the braking system.
