What does the automotive braking system mean?
2 Answers
Automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to certain parts of the vehicle (mainly the wheels) to enforce a certain degree of braking. Composition of the braking system: energy supply device, including various components that provide and regulate the energy required for braking and improve the state of the transmission medium; control device, various components that generate braking action and control braking effect; transmission device, including various components that transmit braking energy to the brake, such as the master cylinder and wheel cylinder; brake, the component that generates resistance to the movement or tendency of movement of the vehicle. Main functions of the braking system: to decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle, to maintain a stable speed for a vehicle going downhill, and to keep a stopped vehicle stationary. Service brake (foot brake): During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to facilitate deceleration and stopping while moving forward. Parking brake (hand brake): Not only to keep the vehicle stationary. The parking brake is used only when the service brake fails; when the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake (hand brake) is used to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.
Hey, I think the braking system is the thing in the car that helps you stop, simply put, it's the brakes! As someone who drives every day, I find it super important. When you press the brake pedal, the system is actually transferring force to the tires, slowing down or stopping the car. The components include brake discs, brake pads, and hydraulic fluid responsible for transmitting pressure. Daily maintenance should not be overlooked, such as regularly changing brake pads, otherwise severe wear will affect braking performance, posing significant safety risks. I recommend having the technician check the brake fluid during every service to prevent leaks or overheating, so you can drive with peace of mind. Especially on rainy days or slippery roads, a good braking system can save your life. Don't underestimate this thing, it's your safety guardian—spend a little more effort maintaining it.
