BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AN AT LEAST TWO-AXLE VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257496 titled 'BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AN AT LEAST TWO-AXLE VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The braking system described in the patent application is designed for a vehicle with at least two axles. It consists of a first axle unit and a second axle unit, which are hydraulically separate from each other.
The first axle unit includes a first motorized brake pressure buildup device, a first wheel-brake cylinder, and a second wheel-brake cylinder. The first motorized brake pressure buildup device is connected to both the first and second wheel-brake cylinders hydraulically. The first wheel-brake cylinder is mounted on the first wheel of the first axle, while the second wheel-brake cylinder is mounted on the second wheel of the first axle.
In addition to the first motorized brake pressure buildup device, the first axle unit also includes a second motorized brake pressure buildup device. The first wheel-brake cylinder and the second wheel-brake cylinder are both hydraulically connected to the second motorized brake pressure buildup device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This braking system can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to improve braking performance and safety.
- Off-road vehicles: The hydraulically separate axle units can be beneficial for off-road vehicles, providing better control and stability during braking on uneven terrains.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved braking performance: The use of motorized brake pressure buildup devices allows for more precise and efficient control of brake pressure, resulting in improved braking performance.
- Enhanced safety: The hydraulically separate axle units ensure that the braking system remains functional even if there is a failure in one unit, increasing overall safety.
Benefits of this technology:
- Better control and stability: The hydraulically separate axle units enable independent control of braking on each axle, improving control and stability during braking.
- Redundancy and reliability: The separate hydraulic systems for each axle provide redundancy, ensuring that the braking system remains operational even if there is a failure in one unit.
- Improved braking efficiency: The motorized brake pressure buildup devices allow for faster and more accurate adjustment of brake pressure, leading to improved braking efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
A braking system for an at least two-axle vehicle. The braking system including a first axle unit, which includes: a first motorized brake pressure buildup device, a first wheel-brake cylinder hydraulically connected at a first motorized brake pressure buildup device and mountable at a first wheel of a first axle of the vehicle, and a second wheel-brake cylinder hydraulically connected at the first motorized brake pressure buildup device and mountable at a second wheel of the first axle; and a second axle unit designed to be hydraulically separate from the first axle unit, the first axle unit also including, in addition to the first motorized brake pressure buildup device a second motorized brake pressure buildup device, at which the first wheel-brake cylinder and the second wheel-brake cylinder are hydraulically connected.
