Abstract:
A hydraulic braking system (1) includes: an anti-lock hydraulic braking device (10) arranged to manage safety functions and ancillary functions based on interventions on braking members of the vehicle; brakes (17, 18, 19, 20) fed by a second fluidic circuit (12) containing a second fluid incompatible with the first fluid; and bi-fluidic relays (35 to 38) connected between the anti-lock braking device (10) and the brakes (17 to 20) and configured for hydraulically separating the first fluidic circuit (11) from the second fluidic circuit (12). The vehicle has two braking pedals (13, 14) connected to two master cylinders (15, 16), respectively, configured each for actuating braking by means of a front brake and/or a rear brake (17, 20) located on a same side of the vehicle. Each master cylinder (15, 16) has a first brake actuation circuit (28, 29) connected with a section of the anti-lock braking device (10) intended for controlling a respective rear brake (17, 20), and a second brake actuation circuit (25, 26) connected with a respective inlet of a logic head (27) with two inlets and one outlet (43), where the outlet (43) is connected with a section of the anti-lock braking device (10) intended for controlling the front brakes (18, 19). The anti-lock braking device (10) is associated with a selector (30) operable by a user of the vehicle for turning on or off the anti-lock braking device (10) at least during steer-by-braking.
Abstract:
A tractor steering and braking arrangement has a substantially vertically extending structural support column 11 for connection at a lower end 12 to a floor 13 of a tractor cab and carrying means 18 to support a steering wheel 15 at its upper end. At least one hydraulic master cylinder 29, 30 for operation of brakes of the tractor is supported within the column 11. The master cylinder 29, 30 includes an operating rod 27, 28 and an associated piston which is moved substantially vertically by an associated brake operating pedal 19, 20. The pedal is positioned at one side of the structural support column 11 and supported for pivoting from the column. Where separate left and right brakes are used, separate left and right master cylinders are mounted vertically within the support column 11. Both pedals are also mounted for pivoting from the column at a position 21 inside the column.

Abstract:
A hydraulic braking system including an ABS unit (40) having a first and a second inlet channel (23, 27) and four sensors associated with respective four ABS outlet channels (20', 2Γ, 24', 25'). The outlet channels are connected, through respective bi-fluidic interfaces (30", 31 ", 34", 35"), to a first and a second front brake (30', 3 Γ) and a first and a second rear brake (34', 35') of a motor vehicle. A control unit (28) is configured to control vehicle braking by selectively closing, in use, the connections of the channels (20', 21 ', 24', 25') with the front brakes (30', 3 Γ) and the rear brakes (34', 35'). The system further includes a first and a second brake pedal (11, 12) configured to introduce pressurised fluid into the first and the second ABS inlet channels (23, 27), and a first and a second switch (10', 10"), located in correspondence of the first pedal and the second pedal, respectively, and configured to transmit respective electrical signals to the control unit (28) upon actuation of the first pedal and/or the second pedal;. The invention further concerns an operation method of the system.
Abstract:
There is described a low-pressure braking system for a vehicle such as an agricultural tractor. The braking system controls the supply of brake fluid to left and right wheel brakes, based on the pressure differential between respective left and right master cylinders associated with the different wheel brakes. Such a configuration allows for pressure harmonisation between the left and right wheel brake circuits. There is also described a brake system module suitable for installation on an existing vehicle, and an associated method of operation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronically controllable brake device, having an activation apparatus, in particular a brake pedal, a master brake cylinder arrangement with at least two piston-cylinder units arranged in parallel, and a reservoir vessel, which are connected to wheel brakes via hydraulic lines and valves and to a booster device. According to the invention, a valve device (BV1, BV2, EA) which can be actuated electrically is provided between the brake circuits which are assigned to the piston-cylinder units (16, 17), in order to permit the controlled transfer of hydraulic fluid between the brake circuits (bypass) and the reservoir vessel (24).
Abstract:
A hydraulic system for an aircraft includes a brake operation device, a pressure supply, a reservoir, a shut-off valve, and a wheel brake. The shut-off valve is in fluid communication with and is disposed between the pressure supply and the brake valve. The shut-off valve can include a poppet, a first valve seat and a second valve seat. Movement of the poppet is controlled by operation of the brake operation device. The poppet is movable between a first position where the poppet acts against the first valve seat and a second position where the poppet acts against the second valve seat. In the first position, fluid flow is blocked between the pressure supply and the brake valve through the shut-off valve. In the second position, fluid flow is allowed between the pressure supply and the brake valve through the shut-off valve.
