Such device is known in this specialty, and is used for vacuum booster in the Control of Automobile brake system for a long time.A problem in this Design of device is, when device returned its quiescence, the power that device is discharged was difficult to guarantee install needed power near driving this as far as possible, and then a power is again that requirement is as much as possible little.

Since closing member must with two annual seat mutual actions of different-diameter, (seat causes two diameter difference in another inside), and these two annual seats will bear different pressure, therefore, closing member bears a pressure reduction, this pressure reduction produces poor between the attack of control setup and the return force on the one hand, must promote the anchor ring of closing member on the other hand again by bigger elastic force, and this has increased the value of attack again.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of control setup of aforementioned type, but but can avoid above-mentioned defective.

For this reason, the essential characteristic of device of the present invention is: the anchor ring of closing member is connected in the rear portion by its internal diameter, in piston, slide with sealing means by its external diameter again, so that the rear portion with closing member limits a state memorization chamber, and it has at least one through hole again, and above-mentioned state memorization chamber is connected with passage between two annual seats.

Contrast the following drawings describes the present invention in detail in the mode of indefiniteness now, more clearly describes other features and advantages of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is to use the cross-sectional schematic of the straight air brake system of common servo-unit;

Fig. 2 is the cutaway view according to device of the present invention, and closing member is in dead position among the figure;

Fig. 3 is the cutaway view of device shown in Figure 2, but closing member is in control position among the figure.

The present invention relates to just to the improvement of air assisted brake system, and the basic structure of this brake system and operation those skilled in the art are known, thereby this specification sheets just describes this brake system briefly, makes the people to the improvement that the present invention did complete understanding be arranged.

In brief, this brake system comprises a servo-unit 1 and a master cylinder 2.

Servo-unit itself comprises a rigid housing 3, is divided into two chamber 3a and 3b by an active clapboard 4 in the leak free mode, pneumatic piston 5 that can move in housing 3 of dividing plate 4 portabilities.

The front of ante-chamber 3a is sealed in the leak free mode by master cylinder 2, and ante-chamber 3a is by a permanent low pressure source D that is connected in of boiler check valve.

Back cavity 3b then can be connected in low pressure source D selectively or be connected in a high-voltage power supply, as atmosphere A.

For this reason, to logical routing valve 7 and plunger 8 controls of back cavity 3b, plunger 8 is connected in brake pedal 9 by a control stalk 10.

When control stalk 10 was in dead position, valve 7 was pulled to right-hand, usually set up connected relation between two chamber 3a of servo-unit and 3b.

Like this, because back cavity 3b bears identical negative pressure with ante-chamber 3a, piston 5 is pushed back the rear by retracing spring 11, is in dead position.

Control stalk 10 motion left has movement of valve 7 in first aspect and makes the isolated mutually effect of chamber 3a and 3b the driving of plunger 8, makes back cavity 3b lead to barometric pressure A by filter 14 and have movement of valve 7 in second aspect.

Pressure reduction between two chambeies acts on a thrust on active clapboard 4, it is shifted to left, drives piston 5, and makes spring 11 compressions.

Act on power brake power or the title " power-assisted " that braking force on the plunger 8 or title " input force " and active clapboard 4 thrusts cause by control stalk 10 and act on together on the reaction plate 12, be delivered to propulsive effort on the master cylinder to constitute by push rod 13.

More accurate, said apparatus generally has: three

passages

15,16,17; Pneumatic piston 5 is own; First and second

annual seats

18,19; And the closing member 21 of tubulose.

Three passages comprise first import 15 that is connected in first pressure source (being barometric pressure A in the present embodiment) of supplying with elevated pressures, be connected in servo-unit ante-chamber 3a and be connected in second import 16 of second pressure source (being negative pressure D in the present embodiment) of supplying with lower pressure, and the back cavity 3b that is connected in servo-unit, thereby the outlet 17 of the pressure in this chamber of may command.

Article three, each bar in the passage all feeds the pneumatic piston 5 of hollow so that any forms between 17 with outlet and is communicated with in

import

15 and 16 selectively.

First annual seat 18 is by the interior crown one-tenth of piston, is second import 16 in its outside, and second annual seat 19 is owing to be to form around plunger 8, thereby is closed by the bottom of plunger in the axial direction.

Slip by plunger 8, second annual seat 19 can move between a dead position and a control position, on dead position, second annual seat, 19 to the first annual seats 18 are further from ante-chamber 3a, as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, and on control position, second annual seat, 19 to the first annual seats, 18 more close ante-chamber 3a, as shown in Figure 3.

As shown in Figure 1, second annual seat 19 is positioned at first annual seat, has a gap, thereby can form a passage 20 that is connected in outlet 17.

On the other hand, tubulose closing member 21 has one and is contained in rear portion 21a in the piston 5 with sealing means, this rear portion and first annual seat 18 leave a distance, the internal connection of this tubular closing member is in the first pressure source A, also has an anchor ring 21b on the other hand, anchor ring 21b can move along piston axis, is subjected to the effect of elastic force on X at the primary shaft that points to ante-chamber 3a.

Anchor ring 21b on the dead position of second annual seat 19 with second annual seat, 19 mutual actions, be connected in the second pressure source D so that will export 17 by passage 20, ring surface 21b goes up and first annual seat, 18 mutual actions at the control position (Fig. 3) of second annual seat 19, be connected in the first pressure source A so that will export 17, all can prevent connection between two

imports

15 and 16 no matter plunger 8 is in any position by same passage 20.

According to the present invention (Fig. 2 and 3), the anchor ring 21b of closing member is connected in rear portion 21a by its internal diameter, and slides in piston 5 in the leak free mode by its external diameter, thereby forms a state memorization chamber 22 with the outside 21a of closing member.

In addition, the anchor ring 21b of closing member has at least one through hole 23 and can be communicated with the passage 20 between two

annual seats

18 and 19.

By above-mentioned layout, be used for promoting the spring 24 of closing member 21 at axial X, compare with the power that prior art is necessary, can only revolve and add a very little power.

As shown in Figure 2, when plunger 8 was in dead position, chamber 22 was connected with the second pressure source D by hole 23 and passage 20, thereby is in the low pressure.

Under these conditions, the anchor ring 21b of closing member 21 presses on first annual seat 18 by the pressure reduction between barometric pressure A and the negative pressure D, therefore, need not other promotion in theory.

On the other hand, when plunger 8 was in control position shown in Figure 3, chamber 22 was connected with the first pressure source A by hole 23 and import 15, thereby is in the high pressure, promptly is in the barometric pressure in this example.

Under these conditions, the anchor ring 21b of closing member 21 presses on second annual seat 19 by the pressure reduction between barometric pressure A and the negative pressure D, no longer needs any thrust in theory.
