摘要:
Deceleration controlled skid control automotive braking system components including a controller, a power booster and a variable proportioning device are disclosed. The controller utilizes the force produced upon accelerating (or decelerating) a mass suspended in low friction bearings within a housing, to actuate a 3-way valve having high and low supply pressures imposed across it. The 3-way valve is constructed to provide a control fluid pressure which varies as a function of vehicle deceleration, and is adapted to serve as the supply pressure for power actuated devices, such as the power booster and the variable proportioning device. The controller includes a device modifying the action of the 3-way valve upon sudden reduction in vehicle deceleration, to change the control fluid pressure and modify the action of the power booster upon such sudden reduction in deceleration indicating impending wheel lock-up, for skid control. The power booster and variable proportioning device are constructed to utilize the varying control pressure produced by the deceleration actuated 3-way valve as the air supply pressure.
