What are the three types of braking methods?
1 Answers
Braking methods include service brake, parking brake, and engine brake. Below is a related introduction to braking: 1. Service brake: This is the braking method used during normal driving. It primarily converts the mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted to the brake and applied to the vehicle's four tires to achieve the braking effect. 2. Parking brake: This is the braking method used when the vehicle is parked to prevent the vehicle from sliding. The main working principle involves connecting a steel wire cable to the brake shoes to apply braking force, typically acting on the vehicle's rear wheels. 3. Engine brake: This primarily utilizes the compression resistance, intake and exhaust resistance, and internal friction generated by the engine to brake the driving wheels. It is generally used in special environments, such as muddy roads and icy or snowy conditions.
