1、Automobile Brake SystemThe braking system is the most important system in cars. If the brakes fail, the result can be disastrous. Brakes are actually energy conversion devices, which convert the kinetic energy (momentum) of the vehicle into thermal energy (heat).When stepping on the brakes, the driv
2、er commands a stopping force ten times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion. The braking system can exert thousands of pounds of pressure on each of the four brakes.Two complete independent braking systems are used on the car. They are the service brake and the parking brake.The serv
3、ice brake acts to slow, stop, or hold the vehicle during normal driving. They are foot-operated by the driver depressing and releasing the brake pedal. The primary purpose of the brake is to hold the vehicle stationary while it is unattended. The parking brake is mechanically operated by when a sepa
4、rate parking brake foot pedal or hand lever is set. The brake system is composed of the following basic components: the “master cylinder” which is located under the hood, and is directly connected to the brake pedal, converts driver foots mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure. Steel “brake lin
5、es” and flexible “brake hoses” connect the master cylinder to the “slave cylinders” located at each wheel. Brake fluid, specially designed to work in extreme conditions, fills the system. “Shoes” and “pads” are pushed by the slave cylinders to contact the “drums” and “rotors” thus causing drag, whic
6、h (hopefully) slows the car.The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder (Figure).Basically, all car brakes are friction brakes. When the driver a
7、pplies the brake, the control device forces brake shoes, or pads, against the rotating brake drum or disks at wheel. Friction between the shoes or pads and the drums or disks then slows or stops the wheel so that the car is braked.In most modern brake systems (see Figure 15.1), there is a fluid-fill
8、ed cylinder, called master cylinder, which contains two separate sections, there is a piston in each section and both pistons are connected to a brake pedal in the drivers compartment. When the brake is pushed down, brake fluid is sent from the master cylinder to the wheels.At the wheels, the fluid
9、pushes shoes, or pads, against revolving drums or disks. The friction between the stationary shoes, or pads, and the revolving drums or disks slows and stops them. This slows or stops the revolving wheels, which, in turn, slow or stop the car.The brake fluid reservoir is on top of the master cylinde
10、r. Most cars today have a transparent r reservoir so that you can see the level without opening the cover. The brake fluid level will drop slightly as the brake pads wear. This is a normal condition and no cause for concern. If the level drops noticeably over ashort period of time or goes down to ab
11、out two thirds full, have your brakes checked as soon as possible. Keep the reservoir covered except for the amount of time you need to fill it and never leave a cam of brake fluid uncovered. Brake fluid must maintain a very high boiling point. Exposure to air will cause the fluid to absorb moisture
12、 which will lower that boiling point.The brake fluid travels from the master cylinder to the wheels through a series of steel tubes and reinforced rubber hoses. Rubber hoses are only used in places that require flexibility, such as at the front wheels, which move up and down as well as steer. The re
13、st of the system uses non-corrosive seamless steel tubing with special fittings at all attachment points. If a steel line requires a repair, the best procedure is to replace the compete line. If this is not practical, a line can be repaired using special splice fittings that are made for brake syste
14、m repair. You must never use copper tubing to repair a brake system. They are dangerous and illegal.Drum brakes, it consists of the brake drum, an expander, pull back springs, a stationary back plate, two shoes with friction linings, and anchor pins. The stationary back plate is secured to the flang
15、e of the axle housing or to the steering knuckle. The brake drum is mounted on the wheel hub. There is a clearance between the inner surface of the drum and the shoe lining. To apply brakes, the driver pushes pedal, the expander expands the shoes and presses them to the drum. Friction between the br
16、ake drum and the friction linings brakes the wheels and the vehicle stops. To release brakes, the driver release the pedal, the pull back spring retracts the shoes thus permitting free rotation of the wheels.Disk brakes, it has a metal disk instead of a drum. A flat shoe, or disk-brake pad, is locat
17、ed on each side of the disk. The shoes squeeze the rotatin g disk to stop the car. Fluid from the master cylinder forces the pistons to move in, toward the disk. This action pushes the friction pads tightly against the disk. The friction between the shoes and disk slows and stops it. This provides t
18、he braking action. Pistons are made of either plastic or metal. There are three general types of disk brakes. They are the floating-caliper type, the fixed-caliper type, and the sliding-caliper type. Floating-caliper and sliding-caliper disk brakes use a single piston. Fixed-caliper disk brakes have
19、 either two or four pistons.The brake system assemblies are actuated by mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic devices. The mechanical leverage is used in the parking brakes fitted in all automobile. When the brake pedal is depressed, the rod pushes the piston of brake master cylinder which presses the
20、fluid. The fluid flows through the pipelines to the power brake unit and then to the wheel cylinder. The fluid pressure expands the cylinder pistons thus pressing the shoes to the drum or disk. If the pedal is released, the piston returns to the initialposition, the pull back springs retract the sho
21、es, the fluid is forced back to the master cylinder and braking ceases.The primary purpose of the parking brake is to hold the vehicle stationary while it is unattended. The parking brake is mechanically operated by the driver when a separate parking braking hand lever is set. The hand brake is norm
22、ally used when the car has already stopped. A lever is pulled and the rear brakes are approached and locked in the “on” position. The car may now be left without fear of its rolling away. When the driver wants to move the car again, he must press a button before the lever can be released. The hand b
23、rake must also be able to stop the car in the event of the foot brake failing. For this reason, it is separate from the foot brake uses cable or rods instead of the hydraulic system.Anti-lock Brake SystemAnti-lock brake systems make braking safer and more convenient, Anti-lock brake systems modulate
24、 brake system hydraulic pressure to prevent the brakes from locking and the tires from skidding on slippery pavement or during a panic stop.Anti-lock brake systems have been used on aircraft for years, and some domestic car were offered with an early form of anti-lock braking in late 1990s. Recently
25、, several automakers have introduced more sophisticated anti-lock system. Investigations in Europe, where anti-lock brakin g systems have been available for a decade, have led one manufacture to state that the number of traffic accidents could be reduced by seven and a half percent if all cars had a
26、nti-lock brakes. So some sources predict that all cars will offer anti-lock brakes to improve the safety of the car.Anti-lock systems modulate brake application force several times per second to hold the tires at a controlled amount of slip; all systems accomplish this in basically the same way. One
27、 or more speed sensors generate alternating current signal whose frequency increases with the wheel rotational speed. An electronic control unit continuously monitors these signals and if the frequency of a signal drops too rapidly indicating that a wheel is about to lock, the control unit instructs
28、 a modulating device to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel. When sensor signals indicate the wheel is again rotating normally, the control unit allows increased hydraulic pressure to the brake. This release-apply cycle occurs several time per second to “pump” the brakes lik
29、e a driver might but at a much faster rate.In addition to their basic operation, anti-lock systems have two other things in common. First, they do not operate until the brakes are applied with enough force to lock or nearly lock a wheel. At all other times, the system stands ready to function but do
30、es not interfere with normal braking. Second, if the anti-lock system fail in any way, the brakes continue to operate without anti-lock capability. A warning light on the instrument panel alerts the driver when a problem exists in the anti-lock system.The current Bosch component Anti-lock Braking Sy
31、stem (ABS), is a second generation design wildly used by European automakers such as BWM, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. ABS system consists of : four wheel speed sensor, electronic control unit and modulator assembly.A speed sensor is fitted at each wheel sends signals about wheel rotation to control u
32、nit. Each speed sensor consists of a sensor unit and a gear wheel. The front sensor mounts to the steering knuckle and its gear wheel is pressed onto the stub axle that rotates with the wheel. The rear sensor mounts the rear suspension member and its gear wheel is pressed onto the axle. The sensor i
33、tself is a winding with a magnetic core. The core creates a magnetic field around the winding, and as the teeth of the gear wheel move through this field, an alternating current is induced in the winding. The control unit monitors the rate o change in this frequency to determine impending brake lock
34、up.The control units function can be divided into three parts: signal processing, logic and safety circuitry. The signal processing section is the converter that receives the alternating current signals form the speed sensors and converts them into digital form for the logic section. The logic secti
35、on then analyzes the digitized signals to calculate any brake pressure changes needed. If impending lockup is sensed, the logic section sends commands to the modulator assembly.Modulator assemblyThe hydraulic modulator assembly regulates pressure to the wheel brakes when it receives commands from th
36、e control utuit. The modulator assembly can maintain or reduce pressure over the level it receives from the master cylinder, it also can never apply the brakes by itself. The modulator assembly consists of three high-speed electric solenoid valves, two fluid reservoirs and a turn delivery pump equip
37、ped with inlet and outlet check valves. The modulator electrical connector and controlling relays are concealed under a plastic cover of the assembly.Each front wheel is served by electric solenoid valve modulated independently by the control unit. The rear brakes are served by a single solenoid val
38、ve and modulated together using the select-low principle. During anti-braking system operation, the control unit cycles the solenoid valves to either hold or release pressure the brake lines. When pressure is released from the brake lines during anti-braking operation, it is routed to a fluid reserv
39、oir. There is one reservoir for the front brake circuit. The reservoirs are low-pressure accumulators that store fluid under slight spring pressure until the return delivery pump can return the fluid through the brake lines to the master cylinder.汽车制动系统制动系统是汽车中最重要的系统。 假如制动失灵，结果也许是损失惨重的。制动器实际就是能量转换装置
40、，它将汽车的动能（动量）转化成热能（热量）。当驾驶员踩下制动踏板，所产生的制动力是汽车运动时动力的10倍。制动系统能对四个刹车系统中的每个施加数千磅的力。每辆汽车上使用两个完全独立的制动系统，即行车制动器和驻车制动器。行车制动器起到减速、停车、或保持车辆正常行驶。制动器是由司机用脚踩、松制动器踏板来控制的。驻车制动器的重要作用就是当车内无人的时候，汽车可以保持静止。当独立的驻车制动器踏板或手杆，被安装时，驻车制动器就会被机械地操作。制动系统是由下列基本的成分组成:位于发动机罩下方，并且直接地被连接到制动踏板的“制动主缸”把驾驶员脚的机械力转变为液压力。钢制的“制动管路”和有柔性的“制动软管”把
41、制动主缸连接到每个轮子的“制动轮缸”上。 制动液, 特别地设计为的是工作在极端的情况，填充在系统中。“制动盘”和“衬块”是被制动轮缸推动接触“圆盘”和“回转体”如此引起缓慢的拖拉运动, (希望)使汽车减慢速度。典型的制动系统布置有前后盘式，前盘后鼓式，各个车轮上的制动器通过一套管路系统连接到制动主缸上。基本上讲，所有的汽车制动器都是摩擦制动器。当司机刹车时，控制装置会迫使制动蹄，或制动衬片与车轮处的旋转的制动鼓或制动盘接触。接触后产生的摩擦使车轮转动减慢或停止，这就是汽车的制动。在最基本的制动系统中，有一个制动主缸，这个主缸内部填充制动液，并包含两个部分，每个部分里都有一个活塞，两个活塞都连接
42、驾驶室里的制动踏板。当制动踏板被踩下时，制动液会从制动主缸流入轮缸。在轮缸中，制动液推动制动蹄或制动衬片与旋转的制动鼓或制动盘接触。静止的制动蹄或制动衬片与旋转的制动鼓或制动盘之间产生摩擦力使汽车的运动逐渐减缓或停止。制动液的装置位于主缸的顶部。目前大多数的车都有一个容易看见的装制动液的装置，为的是不用打开盖子就可以看得见制动液的油面。随着制动踏板的运动制动液就会缓慢的下降，正常情况下是这样的。假如制动液在很短的时间内下降得明显或者下降了三分之二，那么就要尽快的检查你的制动系统了。保持制动液装置充满制动液除非你需要维修它，制动液必须保持很高的沸点。位于在空气中的制动液就会吸取空气中的潮气引起制
43、动液低于沸点。制动液通过一系列的管路从主缸到达各车轮。橡胶软管只用在需要弹力的地方，比如应用在前轮。在车的行进中上下来回运动。系统的其它部分在所有的连接点上都应用了无腐蚀性的无缝钢管。假如钢线需要修理的话，最佳的方法就是代替这条线。假如这不符合实际，那么为了制动系统可以用特殊的装置修理它。你不可以用铜管来修理制动系。它们是危险也是不对的的。鼓式制动器涉及制动鼓，一个轮缸，回拉弹簧，一个制动底版，两个带摩擦层的制动蹄。制动底版固定在轮轴外部的法兰或转向节。制动鼓固定在轮毂上。制动鼓的内部表面与制动蹄的内层之间有空隙。要使用制动器时，司机就要踩下踏板，这时轮缸扩大制动片，对其施加压力，是制动蹄触碰
44、制动鼓。制动鼓与摩擦片之间产生的摩擦制动了车轮，从而使汽车停止。要释放制动器时，司机松开踏板，回拉弹簧拉回制动片，这样车轮会自由转动。盘式制动器涉及制动盘而不是鼓，在它的两面上各有一个薄的制动片或叫盘式制动器的制动片。制动片是靠挤住旋转的制动盘来停住汽车。制动主缸里流出的制动液迫使活塞向里部的金属盘移动，这便使摩擦片紧紧地贴住制动盘。这时制动片与制动盘产生的摩擦使汽车减速、停止，出现了制动行为。活塞分金属或塑料。盘式制动器重要有三种，即：浮动卡钳型、固定卡钳型和滑动卡钳型。浮动卡钳型和滑动卡钳型盘式制动器使用单活塞。固定卡钳型盘式制动器既可以使用两个活塞有可以使用四个活塞。制动系统是由机械能，
45、液压能或气压能装置驱动的。在机械杠杆适合所有的汽车的驻车制动器中使用。当踩下制动踏板时，杠杆就会推动制动器主缸的活塞给制动液施加压力，制动液通过油管流入轮缸。制动液的压力施加到轮缸活塞以使制动片被压到制动鼓或制动盘上。假如松开踏板，活塞回到本来的位置上，回拉弹簧拉回制动片，制动液返回制动主缸，这样制动停止。驻动制动器的重要作用是车内无人时，使汽车静止不动。假如车内安装的是独立的驻车制动器，那么驻车制动器是由司机手动的控制。驻车制动器正常是当车已经停止时使用的。向后拉手闸，并把手柄卡在对的的位置上。现在，即使离开汽车也不用胆怯它会自己滑走。假如司机要再次启车时，他必须在松开手杆之前按下按钮。在行
46、车制动器失灵的情况下，手闸必须能停住车。正由于这样，手闸与脚闸分开，手闸使用的是绳索或杠杆而不是液力系统。防抱死制动系统是使汽车制动更安全、更方便的制动装置，它既有调节制动系统的压力来防止车轮被完全抱死的功能，又有防止轮胎在滑的路面上行驶或紧急停车时的滑动。防抱死制动系统最早应用在航空飞行器上，并且在二十世纪 90年代一些国内的汽车内也安装了这种系统。近来，几个汽车制造商引进了更为复杂的防抱死系统。欧洲使用这种系统已有几十年的时间，通过对其的调查，一位汽车制造商坦言，假如所有的汽车都安装上防抱死制动系统，那么交通事故的发生率会减少7.5%。同时，一些权威人士预测这种系统会提高汽车的安全性。防抱
47、死制动系统可以在一秒钟内调节几次制动时车轮上的受力，使车轮的滑移受到控制，并且所有的系统基本上都以相同的方式完毕。每个车轮都会有一个传感器，电子控制装置能连续检测来自车轮传感器传来的脉冲电信号，并将它们解决转换成和轮速成正比的数值；假如其中一个传感器的信号不断下降，那么这就表白了相应的轮胎趋于抱死，这时电子控制装置向该车轮的制动器发出减少压力的指令。当信号显示车轮转速恢复正常时，电子控制装置会增长制动器的液压。这种循环像司机同样调节制动器，但它的速度更快，达成了每秒循环数次。防抱死制动系统除了上面基本操作，尚有两个特点。一方面，当制动系统的压力上升到使轮胎抱死或即将抱死的时候，防抱死制动系统才
48、会启动；当制动系统在正常情况下，防抱死制动系统停止运作。另一方面，假如防抱死制动系统有问题时，制动器会独立地继续运营。但控制板上的指示灯亮起提醒司机系统出现问题。目前欧洲汽车生产商，如：宝马、奔驰、宝时捷等广泛使用的是波许（Bosch）防抱死制动系统。这种系统基本组成涉及车轮转速传感器，电子控制装置和调节装置。每个有一个向电子控制装置发出车轮转动情况的信号的传感器，它一般由磁感应传感头和齿圈组成。前面的传感器安在轮毂上，齿圈安在轮网上。后面的传感器安在后部的监测系统上，齿圈安在轮轴上。传感器自身是缠绕电磁核的电线圈，电磁核才线圈的周边产生磁场。当齿圈的齿移动到磁场时，就会改变线圈的电流。电子控
49、制装置会监测这种变化，然后判断车轮是否即将抱死。电子控制装置有三个作用，即：信号的解决，编辑和安全防护。信号的解决起到转换器的作用，它是将接受的脉冲电信号解决转换成数值，为编辑做准备。编辑就是分析这些数值，计算出需要制动压力。假如检测出车轮即将抱死，电控装置就会计算出数值向调节装置发出指令。调节装置当接受到电子控制装置的指令后，液压执行装置会调节制动轮缸的液压的大小。调节装置能保持或减小来自制动主缸的液压，而装置自身是不能启用制动器的。这种装置有三个高速率的电磁阀，两个油液存储器和一个带有内外检测阀的传动泵。调节装置中的电子连接器隐藏在塑料盖下。每个电磁阀都是其独立控制的，并作用于前轮。后部的制动轮缸受到一个电磁阀控制，并依照-的原理进行调节。当防抱死制动系统运营时，电子控制装置会使电磁阀循环运作，这样既能收回又能释放制动器的压力。当压力释放时，它会释放到液压单元。前部的制动器电路有一个单元。存储器低压存储器，它在低压下存储油液，直到回流泵打开，油液流经制动轮缸进入制动主缸 。
