A hydraulic braking system includes a tandem master cylinder having a bore with an opening and a closed wall at opposite ends thereof which formed in a housing, a first piston slidably fitted in the bore so as to define a first pressure chamber and a first fluid chamber therein and operatively connected to a brake pedal, a second piston slidably fitted in the bore so as to define a second fluid chamber adjacent to the first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber and operatively connected to the first piston. A normally open valve communicates with each piston so as to close passages formed in the each pistons and communication between each fluid chambers and each pressure chambers, respectively, when each piston is moved in response to the depression of the brake pedal. A power source generates a hydraulic power pressure. A dynamic hydraulic braking pressure generator generates the hydraulic power pressure supplied from the power source in response to depression of the brake pedal and outputs to the second fluid chamber. A plurality of wheel cylinders for braking respective road wheels are divided into a first group of wheel brake cylinders communicated with the first pressure chamber through one of dual hydraulic circuits and a second group of wheel brake cylinders communicate with the second pressure chamber through an another of the dual hydraulic circuits. A restrictor restricts the sliding distance of the second piston toward the first piston to at least a predetermined distance for closing the valve means. Due to such construction, the first stage idle stroke of the tandem master cylinder is shortened and the stroke of the brake pedal is shortened.

A hydraulic power booster having a lever device disposed in operative association with a reaction piston, a power piston and a valve spool, for moving the valve spool in one of opposite axial directions thereof for applying a pressure of a pressure source into a power chamber to advance the power piston, in response to a relative movement between the reaction and power pistons. The booster is provided with a backup actuator including a cylinder, and a valve drive piston which slidably engages the cylinder. The cylinder and the valve drive piston cooperate with each other to define a first fluid chamber communicating with the power chamber, and a second fluid chamber communicating with a pressure chamber in which a pressure is generated according to an advancing force of the power piston. The valve drive piston moves the valve spool in the above-indicated one axial direction, in engagement with the valve spool, when the valve drive piston is moved in a direction from the second fluid chamber toward the first fluid chamber.

摘要:
A tandem master brake cylinder has first and second pistons, each piston associated with a fluid chamber and a pressure chamber. The pistons are displaced in response to actuation of a brake pedal. A hydraulic booster is coupled to a power source and is operable to enhance the piston movement and for conducting pressurized fluid to a second of the fluid chambers associated with a second piston to displace that piston in a manner reducing the volume of the pressure chamber associated with the first piston. In the event that a negative pressure is communicated with the second fluid chamber, e.g. by a loss of pressurized fluid from the power source, brake fluid is supplied through a one-way check valve to the second fluid chamber to prevent the negative pressure from reversing the motion of the second piston.

A hydraulic braking system for an automotive vehicle having a power source for generating a hydraulic power pressure, a reservoir, a master cylinder, a hydraulic booster for actuating the master cylinder in response to depression of a brake pedal and a plurality of wheel brake cylinders for braking respective road wheels, which are divided into a first group of wheel brake cylinders communicating with the master cylinder and a second group of wheel brake cylinders communicating with the hydraulic booster. An auxiliary cylinder is disposed between the hydraulic booster and the second group of wheel brake cylinders. The auxiliary cylinder includes a cylinder body having a cylinder bore defined therein and a piston axially slidably disposed within the cylinder bore. The piston forms within the cylinder bore a first chamber and a second chamber, and blocks a fluid communication therebetween. The first chamber communicates with the hydraulic booster and the second chamber communicates with the second group of wheel brake cylinders to which a braking force is applied in response to operation of the hydraulic booster. Thereby, the brake fluid filled in the hydraulic booster is prevented from flowing out, even if leakage of the brake fluid occurs in the second group of wheel brake cylinders.
