Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an electric brake system and an operating method thereof. The electric bake system includes a master cylinder discharging pressure medium according to a displacement of a brake pedal, a simulator providing a sense of pedal to a driver, a hydraulic supplier generating hydraulic pressure by operating a hydraulic piston in response to an electrical signal output by corresponding to the displacement of the brake pedal, and a hydraulic control unit controlling hydraulic pressure of the pressure medium supplied to each wheel cylinder. The electric brake system performs a normal operation mode having a low pressure mode and a high pressure mode, an abnormal operation mode and an inspection mode.
Abstract:
A slip-controllable vehicle brake system includes a drivable pressure generator configured to supply at least one wheel brake of a brake circuit with pressure medium. The pressure generator has a pump inlet valve and a pump outlet valve to control the throughput of the pressure medium. Novel system functions, such as pedestrian protection, require that the pressure generator has a drive with increased power to provide high pressure medium volumes to the wheel brakes at a faster rate. In the case of ABS braking, a high braking pressure generated by the drive works against the starting of the pressure generator and increases the starting current. To ease the starting of the drive and to limit the required starting current, a mechanism is provided downstream of the pump outlet valve which prevents an exerting of the pressure generator on the pressure side with the pressure of the main brake cylinder.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a forklift. The forklift according to the present disclosure is controlled such that when a traveling speed reaches or becomes higher than a predetermined traveling speed, pressure of hydraulic oil to be provided to a steering unit is reduced. Therefore, in order to implement a desired direction change, a steering wheel needs to be rotated to a relatively larger degree than when the forklift travels at a low speed. That is, straight traveling performance may be improved by reducing sensitivity of a direction change of the forklift to an operation of the steering wheel.
Abstract:
A brake system for motor vehicles, which can be actuated in a “brake-by-wire” operating mode both by the vehicle driver and independently of the vehicle driver. In the “brake-by-wire” operating mode the system can be operated in at least one fallback operating mode, with a brake master cylinder, actuated by a brake pedal, having a housing and two pistons, which delimit two pressure chambers, are assigned to brake circuits with wheel brakes, a pressure medium reservoir, one electrically actuable inlet valve per wheel brake for setting wheel-individual brake pressures, a first electrically controllable pressure provision device for loading the wheel brakes with pressure, and a second electrically controllable pressure provision device with at least one vacuum connector and a pressure connector, the vacuum connector is connected to the pressure medium reservoir. The pressure connector is connected to at least one wheel brake without a valve being connected in between.
Abstract:
A brake pedal unit for coupling to a brake pedal includes a housing and a pedal simulator housed within a simulation chamber formed in the housing. The pedal simulator includes a spring for providing force feedback. A first piston is mounted in the housing. The first piston is operable to generate brake actuating pressure at a first pressure output. A second piston is mounted in the housing. The first piston is operable to generate brake actuating pressure at a second pressure output. An input piston is connected to operate the pedal simulator during a normal braking mode, and wherein the input piston is coupled to actuate the first and second pistons during a manual push-though mode.
Abstract:
A valve of a piston pump for a vehicle brake system has a closing body which is resiliently preloaded against a sealing seat. The closing body is formed in two parts with a damping piston and a closing element inserted therein. The damping piston is axially displaceably guided in a cylindrical piston guide. At least one flow channel is provided between the damping piston and the piston guide. The at least one flow channel is configured such that fluid can flow around the damping piston in the longitudinal direction thereof through the at least one flow channel.
Abstract:
A control apparatus is designed for controlling a brake of a unit hauled by a vehicle.The vehicle comprises: a plurality of brakes (55, 57) for braking the wheels of the vehicle; a trailer brake (71) for braking the hauled unit; a parking brake for keeping the vehicle braked while it is stationary. The control apparatus comprises: a line (9) for sending a fluid to the trailer brake (71) through a control valve (TBV), in order to brake the hauled unit in certain working conditions; a further line (72) for sending a further fluid to the trailer brake (71) in order to activate the trailer brake (71) in other working conditions; a valve device (75) for controlling flow of the further fluid in the further line (72), the valve device (75) being responsive to a signal indicative of the status of the parking brake.
Abstract:
In a check valve in which a valve part is disposed in a valve part accommodating recess movably relative to a piston part, among the valve part accommodating recess, an anti-valve seat side accommodation space formed between a surface of the valve part accommodating recess in an anti-valve seat side of the valve part and a wall surface of the valve part accommodating recess are communicated to exit side fluid passages.
Abstract:
A multi-piston pump includes a housing defining a first plurality of N bores therein, where N is the number of bores in the first plurality. The first plurality of N bores is offset from one another. The housing defines a second plurality of N bores therein. The second plurality of N bores is offset from one another. Each bore of the second plurality of N bores is offset from a corresponding bore of the first plurality of N bores. A substantially straight cylindrical piston is disposed in each of said bores for reciprocal movement along a longitudinal axis therein. The pistons in the first plurality of N bores are operable to induce fluid flow in hydraulic fluid. The pistons in the second plurality
Abstract:
A self-cleaning orifice includes a housing having a bore defined therein. The bore includes a first diameter inlet portion and a second diameter outlet portion, with a seating surface defined between the inlet and outlet portions. A movable body having a seating surface with a groove defined thereon is disposed within the outlet portion of the bore. The body is movable relative to the housing to a first position in which the seating surface of the body is seated against the seating surface of the housing and provides a restricted flow between the inlet portion and the outlet portion of the bore The body is also movable relative to the housing to a second position in which the seating surface of the body is spaced apart from the seating surface of the housing creating an unrestricted fluid flow path between the inlet portion and the outlet portion of the bore.
