- the balance position at which both the vacuum valve 23 and the atmospheric valve 20 are closed does not change with respect to the valve body 4, and is the same as when the normal brake is operated with the same input. Therefore, in this low G region, the servo ratio S R 1 is relatively small, which is the same as the conventional servo ratio during normal brake operation.
- the vacuum valve seat member 21 moves rearward (input side) with respect to the valve body 4, and the balance position corresponds to the input. Therefore, the servo ratio SR 2 (SR is larger than the conventional servo ratio SR 1 when the normal brake is applied. 2> SR 1).

- the key member 30 restricts the valve plunger 10 to the inoperative position at the backward limit, and the input shaft 11 is also in the inoperative position.
- the key actuating member 30 restricts the valve actuating member 29 to the non-actuating position at the backward limit. Further, the arm 25 is restricted to the forward inoperative position by the valve actuating member 29 in the non-actuated position, and the vacuum valve seat member 21 is also restricted to the inoperative position in the forward limit by the arm 25. ing.
- the atmospheric valve 20 is closed and the vacuum valve 23 is open, the variable pressure chamber 9 is shut off from the atmosphere, and negative pressure is always introduced.

- the spacing member 27 is also moved forward by the advancement of the valve plunger 10, the spacing member 2 7 has not yet reached the reaction disc 23 due to the gap. Therefore, the reaction force from the output shaft 34 is not transmitted from the reaction disk 35 to the spacing member 27, so this reaction force is not transmitted to the brake pedal via the valve plunger 10 and the input shaft 11. Furthermore, since the holder 26 also advances as the valve body 4 advances, the hook portion 26a of the holder 26 engages with the hook portion 29c of the valve actuating member 29 in the axial direction. Thereafter, the valve actuating member 29 is moved forward by the advancement of the valve body 4.
- the master cylinder sends brake fluid to a wheel cylinder (not shown).
- the reaction force is transmitted from the output shaft 34 to the reaction disk 35, and the reaction disk 35 is flexed elastically.
- This reaction disk 3 5 massages reaction disk 3 5 First, touch pin 28 and push pin 28 backward.
- the vacuum valve seat member 21 is pressed backward via the arm 25.
- the pressing force of the pin 2 8 is a force corresponding to the diameter (that is, the cross-sectional area) of the pin 28 because the pressure due to the bending of the reaction disk 35 presses the pin 28. .
- the negative pressure booster 1 substantially generates an output, and this output causes the master cylinder to generate mass cylinder pressure (hydraulic pressure).
- the wheel cylinder is activated by the mass cylinder pressure and generates braking force.
- the reaction disk 35 As a result, the reaction force from the output shaft 3 4 is transmitted from the reaction disk 35 to the spacing member 27, and further transmitted to the brake pedal via the valve plunger 10 and the input shaft 11 to be sensed by the driver. Become so. That is, as shown in Fig. 4, the negative pressure booster 1 exhibits the jumping characteristics during normal braking operation. This jumping characteristic is almost the same as the jumping characteristic of a conventional general negative pressure booster.
- the normal brake When the normal brake is operated in the reduction speed (low G) region, the input (ie, pedaling force) of the negative pressure booster 1 is relatively small. In this reduced speed (low G) region, the output is a low output region where the output is less than or equal to the predetermined output, the vacuum valve seat member 21 does not move, and the servo ratio is relatively small as that of the conventional normal brake operation.
- the ratio is SR 1. Therefore, the output of the negative pressure booster 1 boosts the input of the input shaft 1 1 by the pedal depression force with this support ratio SR 1.
- the atmospheric valve unit 16 is seated on the atmospheric valve seat 19 and the atmospheric valve 20 is also closed, so that the intermediate load is balanced (the vacuum valve 2 3 is the vacuum valve unit 17 is the vacuum valve). Sitting on seat 2 2 and already closed).
- the normal brake in the reduced speed (low G) region, the normal brake is operated with a braking force obtained by boosting the pedal depression force during normal brake operation with the support ratio SR1.
- variable pressure chamber 9 When the brake pedal is released to release the normal brake from the state where the atmospheric pressure valve 2 0 and the vacuum valve 2 3 of the negative pressure booster 1 are both closed during normal brake operation, the input shaft 1 1 and valve Plunger 10 retreats together, but valve body 4 and vacuum valve seat member 21 do not retract immediately because air (atmosphere) is introduced into variable pressure chamber 9.
- the atmospheric valve seat 1 9 of the valve plunger 10 presses the atmospheric valve portion 16 of the valve body 15 backward, so that the vacuum valve portion 1 7 moves away from the vacuum valve seat 2 2 and the vacuum valve 2 3 opens.
- the air introduced into the variable pressure chamber 9 is supplied to the vacuum source through the air / vacuum passages 3 9 and 3 8, the open vacuum valve 2 3 and the vacuum passage 3 7, the constant pressure chamber 8 and the negative pressure inlet 4 1. Exhausted.
- the atmospheric valve section 16 is connected to the atmospheric valve seat 19 as described above.
- the air valve 20 is also closed and the intermediate load is balanced (the vacuum valve 23 is already closed because the vacuum valve portion 17 is seated on the vacuum valve seat 2).
- the brake operates with a greater braking force than during normal braking in the reduced speed (low G) region where the pedal effort is boosted by the servo ratio SR2.
- the negative pressure booster 1 has a large pedal depression force, that is, the input of the negative pressure booster 1 is large in this medium / high deceleration (medium / high G) region, but the normal brake operation with the servo ratio SR 1 is effective. With the same input as, an output greater than that during normal brake operation can be obtained.
- a vacuum is applied during operation in the medium / high deceleration (medium / high G) region. Since the valve seat member 21 moves backward with respect to the valve body 4 from the time of operation in the reduced speed (low G) region, the output stroke increases with this moving amount.
- the input stroke amount in the medium-high deceleration (medium-high G) region shown by the solid line in Fig. 4 is the reduction rate (low G) shown by the dotted line in Fig. 4.
- Servo ratio SR 1 in the region When the input stroke change rate (slope) changes with respect to the output stroke during normal operation, the stroke amount is smaller than the input cast stroke amount. The brake pedal stroke is shortened.
- the vacuum valve 2 3 opens and the air introduced into the transformation chamber 9 is introduced into the atmosphere / vacuum passages 3 9 and 3 8, the opened vacuum valve 2 3, the vacuum passage 3 7, the constant pressure chamber 8 and the negative pressure introduction It is discharged to the vacuum source through the port 41.
- variable pressure chamber 9 decreases as described above, and the power piston 5, the valve body 4, and the output shaft 34 are retracted by the spring force of the return spring 40.
- the valve body 4 moves backward, the piston of the master cylinder and the output shaft 3 4 move backward due to the spring force of the piston cylinder return spring, and the brake is released.
- the vacuum valve 2 3 will close as in the case of normal braking described above.
- the atmospheric valve 20 opens and the atmosphere is introduced into the variable pressure chamber 9, the negative pressure booster 1 outputs.
- the hook portion 26 a of the holder 26 is engaged with the hook portion 29 c of the valve operating member 29 in the axial direction.
- the forward strokes of the input shaft 11 and the valve plunger 10 with respect to the valve body 4 become larger than those during normal braking operation.
- the pressing surface 10a of the valve plunger 10 abuts on the pressed surface 29e of the valve operating member 29 and presses the pressed surface 29e. Then, due to the wedge effect of the tapered surfaces of the pressing surface 10 a and the pressed surface 29 e, the protruding portion 29 d is pressed in the opening direction (downward in FIG. 2). b elastically bends and deforms. As a result, the hook portion 29c is disengaged from the hook portion 26a, the engagement between the hook portion 29c and the hook portion 26a is released, and the valve actuating member 29 is pressed by the urging force of the spring 32. Moved backwards.
- Booster 1 is quickly set to a large support ratio SR 2 and produces a greater output with less pedal stroke, resulting in greater braking force.
- the brake pedal When the brake pedal is released after the emergency brake is activated, the brake is released basically in the same way as during normal brake operation as described above. However, in the case of this emergency brake operation release, when the valve body 4 is retracted, the taper surface 2 6 b formed at the rear end of the hook portion 2 6 a is formed at the front end of the hook portion 29 c.
- the hook surfaces 29 c are pressed in the direction of opening (downward in FIG. 2) by the wedge effect of the taper surfaces 29 f which are in contact with the taper surfaces 29 f.
- the servo ratio SR 1 during normal brake operation in the reduced speed (low G) region is A desired large deceleration can be obtained with a pedal depression amount smaller than that required to obtain this large deceleration. Therefore, for vehicles that require a larger braking force than normal braking in the reduced speed (low G) region during normal braking in the middle / high deceleration (medium / high G) region, such as vehicles with heavy vehicle weight, Kife feeling can be improved more effectively.
- the operation start timing of the vacuum valve seat member 21 ie, the servo ratio switching tie Can be set at a desired timing. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly and easily cope with the required negative pressure booster 1 having various input / output characteristics.
- the vacuum valve seat member 21 is actuated by the pin 2 8 and the arm 25 that are urged by the reaction disc 35 due to the reaction force from the output shaft 34.
- the operation of the vacuum valve seat member 2 1 can be ensured and the control of the vacuum valve seat member 2 1 can be reliably and easily performed, and the structure for operating the vacuum valve seat member 2 1 can be simplified. Can do.
- the structure for operating the vacuum valve seat member 21 can be made simpler and less expensive.
- the operation of the vacuum valve seat member 21 by the pin 28 and the arm 25 can eliminate the pressure receiving area of the vacuum valve seat member 21. Therefore, the diameter of the vacuum valve seat member 21 can be reduced. Can be small. As a result, the diameter of the valve body 4 can also be reduced, so that the negative pressure booster 1 can be formed compact overall.
- the pressure receiving area of the vacuum valve seat member 21 can be eliminated, the cross-sectional area of the passages 3 7 and 3 8 through which the air formed in the valve body 4 flows can be increased. Property can be improved.
- a reaction disk 35, a holder 26, and a valve plunger 10 used in a conventional negative pressure booster, a pin 28, an arm 25, a vacuum valve seat member 21, etc. You can add a few components. Therefore, the structure for operating the vacuum valve seat member 21 can be simplified, the assembly can be facilitated, and the cost can be reduced.
- the balance position of the atmospheric valve 20 and the vacuum valve 23 is quickly moved backward with respect to the valve body 4 so that the sap ratio is larger than the normal sap ratio.
- the output of the negative pressure booster 1 can be increased.
- BA brake control

- the negative pressure booster is applied to the brake system as in the first example.
- the negative pressure booster 1 has a BA function.
- the negative pressure booster 1 of the second example has a BA function. Absent. Therefore, the negative pressure booster 1 of the second example does not include the valve operating member 29 for performing the BA function and the spring 32 for biasing the valve operating member 29.
