INTRODUCTION TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM
2. Brake system classification
The brake system includes service brake, parking brake and auxiliary brake
The so-called dual-circuit brake system divides the front axle and the intermediate and
rear axle into two related and independent circuits. When any one circuit fails, it will not
affect the normal work of the other circuit to ensure the reliability of braking.
When the air source is disconnected, the compressed air in the spring chamber of the
brake chamber is discharged through the exhaust port of the relay valve, and the spring
releases energy can push the brake lever for mechanical braking. After inflation, the
braking is released, which is commonly known as "air brake".
INTRODUCTION TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM
(3) Auxiliary braking: it includes the engine cylinder braking, exhaust braking, eddy-current retarder
and hydrodynamic retarder.
① Engine cylinder braking: The engine cylinder brake is the retarder of the diesel engine. After
starting, by changing the operation of the engine exhaust valve, the engine becomes air
compression to absorb kinetic energy. Its essence is to turn the diesel engine that generates
energy into an air compressor to absorb energy;
② Exhaust brake: By closing the exhaust pipe of the engine, the back pressure is established in
the engine as an auxiliary braking device, so that the engine absorbs the kinetic energy of the
automobile and achieves the purpose of continuous braking.
③ Eddy-current retarder: it uses the electromagnetic principle for braking without mechanical
friction. The computer automatic control gradually increases the braking torque and braking
force, which is combined with the service braking to greatly shorten the braking distance.
④ The hydrodynamic retarder uses gasoline and engine oil as the actuating medium, which is
driven by the rotor to act on the stator. The braking torque is generated due to the impact and
damping of the oil, and the kinetic energy of the automobile is also converted into heat energy
due to the damping of the oil, which is dissipated by the heat dissipation system of the complete
vehicle.
INTRODUCTION TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM
Auxiliary braking can bear nearly 60% of braking energy when the vehicle decelerates, and
reduce the tire bursts caused by high temperature.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
1. Three-dimensional schematic diagram (20Y1039):
Rear axle relay valve
The engine is started up to drive the air compressor to operate; the high-temperature
air from the compressor, being subjected to heat-sink cooling via the first air pipe,
passes through the dryer for removing moisture, and reaches the four-circuit protection
valve; when pressure is up to opening pressure as specified by the four-circuit
protection valve, air flows to each air storage cylinder and the relay valve sequentially,
and then, flows to the brake chamber to achieve braking.

4. Brake master valve-working principle
The upper circuit, that is, the first circuit, outputs the brake signal air pressure to the (intermediate) rear axle relay valve,
opens the control relay valve, so that the compressed air from the (intermediate) rear axle brake air reservoir enters the
(intermediate) rear brake chamber through the relay valve, pushes the (intermediate) rear brake camshaft to rotate, and
opens the leading shoe of the drum brake to realize the (intermediate) rear axle wheel braking. The lower circuit, that is,
the second circuit, outputs the brake signal air pressure to the relay valve, opens the relay valve, makes the compressed
air of the front axle brake air reservoir enter the left and right front brake chambers through the relay valve, pushes the
front brake camshaft to rotate, and opens the collar and slave shoes of the drum brake to realize the braking of the front
wheels.

6. Differential relay valve
The differential relay valve prevents the overlapping of the combined spring brake
cylinder and the force in the brake chamber (spring brake chamber) when the service
and parking brake systems operate at the same time, so as to avoid the overload of
mechanical transmission elements. In addition, it can also make the spring brake
cylinder charge and exhaust quickly.

9. Brake chamber - action
The front, intermediate, and rear brake chambers of this car all use composite
brake chambers, which are used to not only act on the service brake of the
intermediate and rear axles, but also implement emergency braking.
INTRODUCTION OF BRAKE SYSTEM PARTS
9. Brake chamber - working principle
The diaphragm spring brake chamber provides braking force for the wheels. The
diaphragm chamber of the combined spring brake chamber is used for service
braking, and the spring chamber is used for parking braking and emergency braking,
and the two chambers are completely independent of each other.

9. Brake chamber - service brake
During service braking, the compressed air operated by the foot brake valve enters chamber
a through port 11, acts on diaphragm d, pushes tray a, compresses return spring c, and
pushes push rod b out. The force acting on diaphragm d acts on the brake arm through tray
a → push rod b, generating braking torque for the wheel.

With the increase of service time, the brake pads are gradually worn, and the brake will be
insensitive to travel braking and slow in response, so it is necessary to adjust the brake. The
correct brake clearance is an important prerequisite to ensure safe driving.
