Abstract:
A brake traction control valve is disclosed. The brake traction control valve includes a valve core, a shell, an armature, an exciting coil, a plunger, and a return spring. The valve core has an inlet to allow inside and outside of the valve core to communicate with each other, and a valve seat provided with an orifice therein. The shell having a dome plus cylinder shape is coupled to the valve core to cover one end of the valve core. The armature is placed in the shell to move forward and backward. The exciting coil is placed around the shell to cause the armature to move forward and backward. The plunger is placed in the valve core to move forward and backward to selectively open and dose the orifice while moving forward and backward by the armature. The return spring returns the plunger and the armature to open the orifice. The plunger includes a first body brought into contact with the armature, a second body connected to one end of the first body to move forward and backward so as to selectively open and close the orifice, and a relief spring provided between the first and second bodies so that the second body is pushed by oil pressure when the oil pressure increases above predetermined pressure.
Abstract:
An anti-lock brake system which is integrally organized with a rolling-prevention solenoid valve having a relief function in a single modulator block in order to prevent a vehicle from rolling rearward on a slope upon starting of the vehicle. The anti-lock brake system, which comprises a master cylinder, a wheel cylinder, NO type and NC type solenoid valves to control flow of brake fluid, a hydraulic pump, and a low-pressure accumulator, further comprises a rolling-prevention solenoid valve installed on a connection path that connects an exit of the master cylinder to a supply path, and a relief valve installed to reduce a hydraulic brake pressure in the wheel cylinder to a predetermined pressure value in a closed state of a main orifice of the rolling-prevention solenoid valve.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a mold for manufacturing a housing of a hydraulic unit of an anti-lock brake system for vehicles. The housing has a plurality of bores formed therein such that components, such as a plurality of valves, accumulators, hydraulic pumps, and a driving motor, and a plurality of connection pipes are mounted to the housing through the bores. The mold comprises a lower mold mounted in a stationary frame for defining a housing forming space where the lower part and side parts of the housing are formed, an upper mold mounted in a movable frame disposed on the stationary frame such that the movable frame is vertically moved a predetermined distance, the upper mold covering the upper part of the housing forming space of the lower mold to form the upper part of the housing, lower cores attached to the lower mold such that the lower cores are protruded from the inner lower surface of the lower mold to form the lower-side bores of the housing, an upper core attached to the upper mold for forming the upper-side bores of the housing, and a plurality of side cores disposed at the lower mold such that the side cores move into and out of the housing forming space defined in the lower mold through the lower mold in four directions to form the bores provided at the four sides of the housing. With the mold according to the present invention, a housing having a complicated structure is manufactured through injection molding of a resin material. Consequently, the housing is easily manufactured with increased productivity as compared with the conventional method of manufacturing the housing through an aluminum cutting process. Furthermore, the manufacturing costs of the housing are reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a hydraulic unit of an anti-lock brake system for vehicles having a housing that is easily manufactured, whereby production efficiency is improved, and thus the manufacturing costs of the housing are reduced. The present invention also discloses a method of manufacturing the same. The hydraulic unit comprises a housing having components that control braking oil pressure supplied to wheels of a vehicle, such as a plurality of valves, accumulators, and hydraulic pumps, mounted thereto, flow channels formed in the housing, the flow channels being connected between the components, and a plurality of pipes connected to each other in the housing. The housing is made of an injected resin material having bores and flow channels formed therein. The components are inserted in the bores of the housing. The components are fixedly mounted to the housing by means of fixing members attached to the housing.
Abstract:
A pump of an electronically-controlled brake system including a bore formed in a modulator block to communicate with inlet and outlet ports formed in the modulator block, a piston connected to a spindle of a motor arranged at one end of the bore, and arranged in the bore such that the piston reciprocates in the bore, and a cover coupled to the other end of the bore to define a compression chamber between the cover and an end of the piston facing the cover. The compression chamber communicates with the outlet port. The pump further includes an outlet valve to open and close the outlet port to allow oil in the compression chamber to be discharged from the compression chamber, an inlet passage formed in the cover to transfer oil in the inlet port to the compression chamber, and an inlet valve arranged in the compression chamber at an outlet of the inlet passage, and fixed to the cover to open and close the inlet passage. The inlet valve operates in opposite to the outlet valve. The inlet valve has a valve opening/closing member to selectively come into contact with a valve seat provided at the cover. Since the inlet valve is fixed to the cover, the valve opening/closing member can be rapidly moved away from the valve seat without being restrained by the piston. Accordingly, the filling rate of oil in the compression chamber is enhanced.
