DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In FIG. 1, a shell 1 of a tandem brake booster is constructed by connecting a front shell 2 and a rear shell 3, and the inside of the shell 1 is a center. The plate 4 divides the front chamber 5 on the front side and the rear chamber 6 on the rear side. Through holes are formed in the shaft portion of the center plate 4 and the shaft portion of the rear shell 3, respectively, and the stepped cylindrical valve body 7 is slidably penetrated into each of the through holes, and the seal member Airtightness is maintained between each through hole and the valve body 7 by means of 8. A front power piston 9 and a rear power piston 10 are arranged in the front chamber 5 and the rear chamber 6, respectively,
A front diaphragm 11 and a rear diaphragm 12 are stretched on the rear side surfaces of the power pistons 9 and 10, respectively. The front diaphragm 11 divides the inside of the front chamber 5 into a constant pressure chamber A on the front side and a variable pressure chamber B on the rear side, and the rear diaphragm 12
Thus, the interior of the rear chamber 6 is divided into a constant pressure chamber C on the front side and a variable pressure chamber D on the rear side. A conventionally well-known valve mechanism 15 is provided in the valve body 7, and the valve mechanism 1
According to 5, the above two constant pressure chambers A and C and two variable pressure chambers B,
It is possible to switch the fluid circuit between D and D and the pressure passage 16 formed in the valve body 7. That is, the valve mechanism 15 includes the valve body 7
An annular first valve seat 17 formed in the above, a valve plunger 18 slidably fitted in the through hole 7a of the valve body 7 inside the annular first valve seat 17, and the valve plunger 18
An annular second valve seat 19 formed at the right end portion of the valve is further provided with a valve element 21 which is seated on both valve seats 17 and 19 from the right side of FIG. 1 by a spring 20. The space on the outer peripheral side of the annular first seat portion where the first valve seat 17 and the valve body 21 contact each other communicates with the constant pressure chamber A through an axial first constant pressure passage 22 formed in the valve body 7. I am letting you. Constant pressure chamber A
A negative pressure is introduced from a negative pressure source (not shown) via a negative pressure introducing pipe 23 connected to the front shell 2. The constant pressure chamber A is always communicated with the constant pressure chamber C of the rear chamber 6 through the second constant pressure passage 24 formed in the valve body 7, and therefore a negative pressure is constantly introduced into both constant pressure chambers A and C. It is like this. On the other hand, on the inner peripheral side of the annular first seat portion where the first valve seat 17 and the valve body 21 contact each other,
The outer peripheral portion of the annular second seat portion where the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 21 are in contact with each other, that is, the space between the inner and outer annular seat portions, is defined by the radial first variable passage formed in the valve body 7. 25, the variable pressure chamber D is communicated with the variable pressure chamber D, and the variable pressure chamber D is communicated with the variable pressure chamber B through a second axial variable pressure passage 26 formed in the valve body 7. Further, the space on the inner peripheral side of the inner second seat portion where the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 21 are in contact with each other is the atmosphere serving as a pressure fluid source via the pressure passage 16 and the filter 27 provided therein. Is in communication with. At the right end portion of the valve plunger 18 slidably provided in the through hole 7a of the valve body 7, the spherical portion 31 at the tip of the input shaft 31 which is loosely fitted and penetrated in the valve body 21 is provided.
a is fitted, and a brake pedal (not shown) is connected to the right end of the input shaft 31. Further, the left end portion of the valve plunger 18 has a push rod 32
Of the reaction disk 33 housed in the concave portion 32a. The left end of the push rod 32 penetrates the shaft opening 2a of the front shell 2 and is interlocked with a piston of a master cylinder (not shown), and a seal member 34 seals the space between the opening 2a and the push rod 32. Holding A return spring 35 is provided between the valve body 7 and the front shell 2, and the return spring 35 holds the valve body 7 in the inoperative position in the drawing. In this non-operating state, the first valve seat 17 is separated from the valve body 21, and the second valve seat 19 is seated on the valve body 21. Therefore, the chambers A, B, C, and D communicate with each other and a negative pressure is introduced into the chambers. On the other hand, the atmosphere in the pressure passage 16 has the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 2 as the atmosphere.
1 is prevented from being introduced into the shell 1 at the position of the second seat portion in contact with 1. The configuration described above and the operation based on it are the same as those conventionally known. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a second valve mechanism for introducing the atmosphere in the pressure passage 16 into both the variable pressure chambers B and D is provided in addition to the conventionally known valve mechanism 15. That is,
At the tip of the input shaft 31 through which the valve body 21 is loosely fitted and penetrated, the axial direction that extends from the tip spherical portion 31a of the input shaft 31 toward the rear side in the axial direction and opens on the outer peripheral surface at the position where the filter 27 is provided is defined. A communication passage 31b is formed. Further, the valve plunger 18 is formed with a communication passage 18a extending from an end portion into which the tip spherical portion 31a of the input shaft 31 is fitted to an axial center portion, and the front end portion of the communication passage 18a is formed. The valve plunger 18 is opened at the bottom of an annular groove formed in the center thereof. Inside the annular groove, a pair of O-rings 36 are mounted on the front side and the rear side with the opening of the communication passage 18a interposed therebetween.
6 is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 7a into which the valve plunger 18 is fitted. In the present embodiment, these pair of O-rings 36 are used as a substantial valve body, and when the brake booster shown in FIG.
The contact of 6 with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 7a closes the opening of the communication passage 18a. The communication passage 18a of the valve plunger 18 and the communication passage 31b of the input shaft 31 are in communication with each other, and even if the opening of the communication passage 18a is closed, the atmosphere in the pressure passage 16 is not exposed to the atmosphere of the valve plunger 18. To the front end of the communication passage 18a. Further, a radial communication passage 7b is formed in the valve body 7, and an inner end portion of the communication passage 7b is opened to an inner peripheral surface of a through hole 7a into which a valve plunger 18 is fitted. On the other hand, the outer end of the communication passage 7b is connected to the second variable pressure passage 26.
Therefore, the communication passage 7b communicates with both the variable pressure chambers B and D through the second variable pressure passage 26. Then, in the non-actuated state of the brake booster shown in FIG.
Since the front opening of the communication passage 18a of the valve plunger 18 is located on the rear side of the opening of the communication passage 7b of the valve body 7 on the inner side, both the communication passages 18a, 7a.
The communication of b is blocked, and therefore, in this state, the atmosphere is not introduced into the variable pressure chambers B and D through the communication paths 18a and 7b. When the brake pedal (not shown) is gently depressed to move the input shaft 31 forward from the non-actuated state of the brake booster, the conventionally known valve mechanism 15 is actuated to switch the fluid circuit. The device is activated. That is, the second valve seat 19 is separated from the valve body 21 and at the same time the first valve seat 17 is separated.
Since the valve body 21 is seated on the valve, communication between the variable pressure chambers B and D and the constant pressure chambers A and C is blocked, and the atmosphere in the pressure passage 16 passes through the gap between the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 21. Both transformer rooms B and D
It is introduced towards the inside. Further, since the valve plunger 18 is advanced relative to the valve body 7 with the forward movement of the input shaft 31, the front end of the communication passage 18a of the valve plunger 18 is connected to the communication passage of the valve body 7. 7b
Since both communication passages 18a and 7b communicate with each other, they are introduced into both the variable pressure chambers B and D through both the communication passages 18a and 7b and the second variable pressure passage 26. As described above, in the present embodiment, not only through the gap between the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 21 of the valve mechanism 15, but also at the same time as it is, both the communication passages 18 are formed.
Atmosphere can be introduced into both transformer chambers B and D via a and 7b. Therefore, in essence, the atmosphere is replaced by both transformer chambers B,
It becomes possible to increase the flow passage area to be introduced into D, and therefore both the communication passages 18a, 7b
As a result of the increase in the flow passage area due to the provision of, the responsiveness at the time of operation of the brake booster can be made better than in the conventional case. Next, as described above, the input shaft 31
As the valve plunger 18 is moved forward relative to the valve body 7 in accordance with the forward movement, the two communicating passages 18a and 7b communicating with each other are provided when the brake booster in which the input shaft 31 retracts is not in operation. As the valve body 7 is returned to the non-actuated position by the return spring 35, the valve body 7 is returned to the non-actuated position in the drawing, and the two communication passages 18a, 7a
The communication state of b is blocked. Further, the valve mechanism 15 also returns to the inoperative position in the drawing. In contrast to the forward operation of the input shaft 31 in the normal brake operation state described above, even when the input shaft 31 is suddenly advanced during the sudden braking, that is, when the input shaft 31 is rapidly advanced due to the rapid depression of the brake pedal, the present embodiment Then, since the flow passage area for introducing the atmosphere into both the variable pressure chambers B and D is increased by providing the both communication passages 18a and 7b, the brake booster can be quickly operated. .. In contrast to the present embodiment as described above, in the conventional brake booster in which both the communication passages 18a and 7b are not provided, the second valve seat 19 and the valve body 2 in the valve mechanism 15 are provided.
Since the atmosphere is introduced into the variable pressure chambers B and D through the gap between the first and second pressure chambers, the flow passage area becomes narrow and the response of the brake booster deteriorates. In this embodiment, when the normal brake booster in which the input shaft 31 is gently advanced is operated, the two communication passages 18a and 7a are made to communicate with each other at substantially the same time as the operation of the valve mechanism 15. However, the communication paths 18a, 7a are not communicated with each other when the input shaft 31 is slowly moved forward, but the communication paths 18a, 7a are communicated with each other only during a sudden braking, that is, when the input shaft 31 is rapidly advanced. It may be allowed to.
Further, the communication passage 18a of the valve plunger 18 communicates with the atmosphere in the pressure passage 16 by the communication passage 31b of the input shaft 31, but the communication passage 31b provided in the input shaft 31 is omitted.
Tip spherical portion 31 of input shaft 31 in valve plunger 18
A notch 18b continuous from the communication passage 18a may be provided on the inner peripheral surface where a is fitted.
