function

The functions of slowing down or even stopping a moving car, stabilizing the speed of a downhill car, and keeping a stopped car stationary are collectively referred to as braking; A series of specialized devices installed on a car so that the driver can apply a certain amount of force (mainly on the road surface) to certain parts of the car (mainly on the wheels) based on road and traffic conditions, to brake the car to a certain extent. This controllable external force for braking the car is called braking force; This series of specialized devices is called a braking system.

The braking system used to slow down or even stop a moving car is called the service braking system; A device used to keep a stopped car stationary is called a parking brake system. These two brake systems are mandatory for every car.

constituent part

Any braking system has the following four basic components:

1) Energy supply device, including various components that supply and regulate the energy required for braking, as well as improve the state of the energy transmission medium.

2) Control devices, including various components that generate braking action and control braking effects.

3) Transmission device, including various components that transmit braking energy to the brake

4) Brake, a component that produces a force (braking force) that hinders the movement or trend of a vehicle, including a deceleration device in an auxiliary braking system.

classification

According to the classification of braking energy, the service braking system can be divided into: the braking system that uses the driver's body as the braking energy is called the manual braking system; The power braking system relies entirely on the potential energy in the form of air pressure or hydraulic pressure converted from engine power for braking, and its braking source can be an engine driven air compressor or oil pump; The braking system that uses both human and engine power for braking is called a servo braking system.

The parking brake system can be manual or powered. There are also inertia braking systems and gravity braking systems specifically used for trailers.

According to the transmission mode of braking energy, braking systems can be divided into mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromagnetic types. A braking system that simultaneously uses two or more energy transmission methods can be called a combined braking system.
