What are the components of the automobile brake system?

The braking system is mainly composed of four parts: energy supply device, control device, transmission device and brake.

1. The energy supply device includes air compressor, air storage cylinder, pressure regulator, safety valve, air intake filter, exhaust filter, pipeline filter, oil-water separator, air dryer, antifreeze, multi-loop pressure protection valve and other devices. Its functions are as follows:

(1) Air compressor: produces compressed gas for braking.

(2) Air reservoir: used to store compressed air to ensure that it can be braking at any time.

(3) Pressure regulator and safety valve: to ensure that the pressure in the gas reservoir is within the specified range, to ensure normal braking, but also to prevent the gas reservoir from being burst.

(4) Intake filter, exhaust filter and pipeline filter: clean the air, prevent dust, impurities, etc., into the brake system, reduce wear, improve the service life of the brake system components.

(5) oil-water separator: used to separate the water in the compressed air from the lubricant to avoid corrosion of the rubber parts that are not resistant to oil in the air reservoir and pipeline.

(6) Air dryer: The air discharged from the oil-water separator inevitably contains a small amount of water, and it is dried with a dryer to avoid corrosion of other metal components in the air storage cylinder and pipeline.

(7) Antifreeze device: in the cold season, prevent the accumulation of water in the pipeline and other air pressure elements from freezing, while preventing pipeline blockage to ensure normal braking.

(8) Multi-loop pressure protection valve: In a multi-loop brake system, when a set of leakage is damaged, the multi-loop pressure protection valve can ensure that the remaining complete circuit continues to inflate.

2. Control device

The control devices in the braking system include brake pedal, hand brake and so on.

3. Brake transmission

The brake transmission device is divided into mechanical and hydraulic.

4. Brake

A brake is a device that can slow down, stop or maintain a stopped state of a moving part (or moving machine). Commonly known as brakes, brakes. In order to reduce the braking torque and structural size, the brake is usually installed on the high-speed shaft, but for large equipment with higher safety requirements (such as mining lifts, elevators, etc.), it should be installed on the low-speed shaft.
