    摘要: The disclosure relates to a brake release system including a parking brake having a brake chamber. The system includes a regular air supply passage, and an auxiliary air supply passage configured to supply pressurized air to the brake chamber for releasing the parking brake. A valve device is provided in the auxiliary air supply passage, the valve device including an exhaust port. A pressure-responsive element is configured to actuate the valve device and configured to be in fluid communication with the regular air supply passage, such that when pressurized air is supplied through the regular air supply passage then the air activates the pressure-responsive element so as to actuate the valve device to move to a closed first state, and when no pressurized air is supplied through the regular air supply passage then the pressure-responsive element is deactivated to allow the valve device to move to an open second state.

    摘要: A pre-filling device for a braking system. The pre-filling device includes a pre-filling channel, a pre-filling pressure being inside the channel when the braking system is in a rest and hydro-boost position, and a mechanical valve configured to be opened following a transition from the rest and hydro-boost position to a working position of the braking system; and a hydraulic valve cooperating with the mechanical valve setting the pre-filling pressure inside the channel. The hydraulic valve includes in a first area, facing the mechanical valve, a hole communicating with the channel, and in a second area, hydraulically isolated from the first area, a preloaded resilient element in a chamber held at atmospheric pressure. The hydraulic valve is configured to be connected or not to be connected, by a reciprocating movement inside the channel, to a hydro-booster device and to keep a predetermined pre-filling pressure upon varying of the hydro-boost pressure.
