Parking braking system of vehicle and vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of vehicle chassis, in particular to a parking brake system of a vehicle and the vehicle.
Background
The vehicle brake system, which is a component of a vehicle, can keep the vehicle, which has been running and stopped, stationary until the driver actively operates to release the parked state, is one of the key components of the vehicle.
The spring energy storage parking brake system is an earlier-developed and common parking brake system, adopts manual operation, is reliable in braking, and is widely applied to large commercial vehicles.
The multi-compartment multi-axle bidirectional running urban automobile is a super-long and super-large capacity novel urban bus. The total length of the whole vehicle exceeds 30m, the whole vehicle is formed by grouping three carriages, six axles are counted, and one-side turning cannot be realized due to the limitation of turning radius, so that two cabs are arranged to mutually serve as a vehicle head and a vehicle tail, the two-way driving and parking functions are realized, and drivers are in different cabs when driving in different directions. The second, fourth and fifth shafts of the vehicle are the parking shafts when the vehicle runs in the forward direction, and the second, third and fifth shafts of the vehicle are the parking shafts when the vehicle runs in the reverse direction. When the traditional spring energy storage parking braking system is adopted, the brake valves are complex in arrangement and long in air pipeline, so that the parking braking response time is long, the parking execution of three parking shafts is asynchronous, and potential safety hazards such as the fact that a vehicle cannot be parked and a slope slides exist under certain special working conditions. And the multi-carriage multi-shaft bidirectional running urban automobile is configured by a front cab and a rear cab and does not have the function of turning around, and when the traditional spring energy storage parking braking system is adopted, the parking action operated in the front cab cannot be relieved in the rear cab, and vice versa. The driver needs to release or apply parking through the head and the tail of the vehicle, so that the actual operability of the bidirectional driving function of the whole vehicle is greatly reduced.
