What Does the Braking System Consist Of?
1 Answers
The braking system consists of four parts: the energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. The main functions of the braking system are to slow down or even stop a moving vehicle, maintain a stable speed for a vehicle going downhill, keep a parked vehicle stationary, and forcibly reduce the vehicle's speed through a series of specialized devices. Detailed components of the braking system: The energy supply device includes various components that supply and regulate the energy required for braking and improve the state of the transmission medium; the control device consists of components that generate braking actions and control braking effects, such as the brake pedal; the transmission device includes components that transmit braking energy to the brakes, such as the master cylinder and wheel cylinder; the brake is the component that generates resistance to the vehicle's movement or tendency to move. Structure of the braking system: The braking system mainly consists of wheel brakes and hydraulic or pneumatic transmission mechanisms. The wheel brake is primarily composed of rotating parts, fixed parts, and adjustment mechanisms; the hydraulic brake transmission mechanism mainly includes the brake pedal, push rod, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, and pipelines; the pneumatic brake transmission mechanism mainly consists of the brake pedal, push rod, brake valve, air dryer, four-circuit protection valve, brake chamber, and pipelines.
