This invention relates to fluid pressure-operated braking apparatus and more particularly to safety braking apparatus of the kind in which a common valve means controls the operation of a dual air pressure or vacuumoperated actuator or servo unit the output of which is transmitted hydraulically to two independent sets of brakes. The present invention provides an improved apparatus of this character having the features of approximate equal air or vacuum usage in the two actuator cylinders and balanced pressures in the two sections of the hydraulic system at all times whilst maintaining a high degree of safety against a complete failure.
According to the invention the improved apparatus comprises an actuator unit consisting of a pair of coaxial cylinders arranged end to end, a piston in each cylinder and an operating rod extending coaxially of the cylinder assem bly and having operative connection with a tandem master cylinder the outputs of which are transmitted independently and respectively to the two sets of brakes to be actuated, and means for supplying compressed air or vacuum to the two actuator cylinders from independent sources and under control of common-actuated valve means, the operating rod being spring-loaded to the inoperative position and the pistons having merely abutting engagement with surfiaces on the rod such that they are capable of independent movement and their combined thrust is normally transmitted to the master cylinder, Whilst a failure in either air ressure or vacuum section results in one piston only moving the operating rod to actuate the master cylinder with reduced thrust.
Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate, a preferred embodiment of the invention and in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic View of the complete braking system,
FIG. 2 is an axial section through the actuator unit to an enlarged scale and FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view showing an alternative form of travel indicator.
As shown, the actuator unit is formed by arranging two cylinders 1, 2, each formed with an integral end wall 1a, 2a, respectively, in axial alignment and with their open ends in close juxtaposition, and interconnecting the cylinders by a double-flanged disc or plate which spigots into the ends of the cylinders and constitutes a transverse wall 3 separating the two cylinder spaces. Pistons 5 and 6 are of substantially the same size as shown in FIGURE 2. Bolts or equivalent means 4 are used for securing the assembly together. Disposed within each cylinder is a piston 5, 6 which may be of any suitable type but is preferably of dished form as shown to include a stepped skirt seating a ring seal 7 and a lubricant-impregnated felt or like ring 8. Located coaxially of the cylinder assembly is an operating rod 9 which passes with sealed fit through an opening in the transverse wall 3, said rod extending at one end through the end wall 2a of the actuator and having operative connection with the main piston 10 of a tandem master cylinder .11 supported on said end wall and providing independent actuation of a front braking system 12 and a rear braking system 13 in known manner. The pistons have merely abutting engagement with the operating rod, said rod having an inner end portion of reduced 3,196,618 Patented July 27, 1965 diameter and piston 6 being engaged by the shoulder 14- separating the two rod portions whilst the extreme inner end of the rod abuts the piston 5. Preferably the pistons are fitted with abutment pads 15 where they engage the operating rod. A coiled compression spring 16 is interposed between the transverse wall and a bearer plate 17 on the inner end of the operating rod and urges the rod and the pistons towards the inoperative or brakes off position shown in FIG. 1.
The actuator described is adapted to be operated by air pressure, that is, by a system comprising a divided reservoir 18, or two separate reservoirs, preferably charged from a common compressor through non-return valves, said reservoirs being connected respectively and through a dual brake valve 19, and conduits 20, 21 to the equivalent ends of the two actuator cylinders. The air supply connections 22, 23 are provided on the integral cylinder end wall 1a and on the transverse wall 3 respectively.
Thus under normal conditions and upon operation of the brake valve, air is delivered to the two cylinders, the pistons of which are displaced in unison against the action of the loading spring and transmit their joint thrust through the operating rod to the master cylinder, air usage in the two parts of the system being approximately equal. If either part of the air system fails, the other part will continue to function, actuating the master cylinder with a reduced thrust, but the piston of the inoperative part of the system will not be moved and thus will not apply an undesirable load on the operative section of the actuator.
The present construction also lends itself to the provision of a travel indicator operable by one of the actuator pistons and adapted to provide an indication or warning of a predetermined amount of wear on the brake shoes. In FIG. 2 there is shown a visual type indicator comprising a sight rod 24 supported for sliding movement in a sleeve 25 fixed to the end wall 211 of cylinder 2, the rod being progressively displaced in the sleeve by the movements of the piston 6 and said rod including a coloured ring or similar marking 26 which, when it becomes visi ble exteriorly of the cylinder, gives warning that the brake shoes need adjustment. FIG. 3 illustrates an alternative indicator of the electrical type, this device comprising as before a displaceable rod 24a engageable by piston 6, the rod in this instance including an outer end portion of larger diameter upon which rides the plunger 27 of a plunger-operated switch 28, the arrangement being such that, when the plunger rides on to the rod portion of smaller diameter, the switch closes the circuit to an electrical buzzer, warning light or equivalent device the drivers cab.
