Description
MANUALLY OPERABLE BOOSTER FOR VEHICULAR BREAKING SYSTEMS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a new and useful improvement in the technique for manually boosting brake pressures. PRIOR ART
The closest prior art known is U. S. Patent 2,915,878, issued December 8, 1959, to O. HRAMOFF for Self-contained Booster Cylinder. However, this patent requires foreign actuators, such as air pressure or hydraulic pressure actuators to function, and further requires systems components throughout to accommodate such pressures. It is unacceptable for use as a vehicular booster because the pressure pumps and lines are subject to failures which could render the vehicular braking system useless, or worse. Further, the patent includes no sealing for high pressure liquids, also fatal to braking systems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A cylindrical housing includes a power primary piston connected to a manually operable vehicular brake pedal. A small diameter centerbore piston is affixed to the primary piston and extends axially of the housing.
A housing divider axially receives the centerbore piston and forms a first chamber between it and the primary piston. The first chamber is connected by a normally open resiliently biased valve and valve passageway, including the hollow centerbore
piston to a second chamber formed by an output piston, serving as an output rod for actuating the vehicular master cylinder.
A low pressure compr.ession chamber is in liquid communication with the first chamber through a spring biased opening. As the manual brake pedal pressure is increased, the pressure in the system increases sufficiently to overcome the resilient bias and close the valve. Further pressure against the primary piston then must overcome the compression chamber spring biased opening in order for liquid to enter because the resilient valve is now closed. A flexible diaphragm and air chamber in the compression chamber permits further brake pedal pressure and movement of the primary piston. The compression chamber accommodates the overflow for direct brake pedal force against the primary piston, and the fluid trapped in the hollow centerbore piston and in the second chamber. Thus, the input piston force has been transferred to the small diameter bore, thereby multiplying the force applied to the vehicular master cylinder by the output piston approximately by 15 to 1. Prior to the boosting effect, the brake shoes were positioned by light brake pressure via the liquid connection. DETAILED DISCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The single figure shows a split view of the booster apparatus with the liquid passages closed for liquids in the first and second chambers to permit the centerbore piston to exert substantially boosted force against the master cylinder.
DISCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The cylindrical housing 18 is preferably comprised of a heavy walled aluminum cylinder, finished for receiving pistons. The housing or cylinder 18 has (e.g.) an internal diameter of 5.08 cm and is 8.89.cm in length. It has lock ring grooves
18' ', 0.098 cm from the outer left end.
Pistons 14 and 33 are fitted in cylinder 18 for sliding and O-rings 14' and 33' are provided for sealing. Chamber A is formed between piston 14 and divider plate 28.
Form end cylinder 32 with a 5.72 cm inside diameter, heavy wall aluminum, press in bushing 32' finished for sliding piston 33. Provide flange 34 for securing to the vehicle brake master cylinder housing MC. Secure divider plate- 28 by pressing bushing 32'.
Piston 14 is 5.08 cm in diameter and piston 14 and associated structure is 9.21 cm long of steel. The outer end 12 of the piston is reduced to 3.33 cm diameter and extends outward for 3.175 cm. Provide a finished centerbore
1.59 cm in diameter 4.13 cm deep. The piston flange is
0.79 cm long, finished for sliding in cylinder 18, sealed with O-ring 14'. Reduce the outer diameter to 2.54 cm for 1.9 cm, forming valve 200 housing. Further reduce to 1.27 cm. diameter extending 3.175 cm long forming centerbore piston 6. Provide groove for O-ring 28'. Centerbore 0.476 cm diameter through 1.27 cm diameter extension. Form clearance around valve 200 and
seat 200'. Provide four orifices 6', equally spaced around the base of the piston 14 into cylinder 12.
Divider plate 28, with its 1.27 cm long cylinder 24, is made of steel. Finish inside diameter of cylinder 24 to slide centerbore piston 6, and seal with O-ring 28'.
Divider plate 28 and bushing 32' seal to cylinder 32 with O-ring 32' .
Valve Piston 100 and valve 200 are formed of brass, finished for sliding in cylinder 12, fitted with O-ring 100' for sealing. Attached valve 200 is finished for seating and sealing in seat
200'.
Valve spring 10 is 1.27 cm diameter, 2.54 cm long with 1.587 kg tension. Slidable disk 5 is 0.317 cm thick, fitted to float in cylinder 12.
End cap 4 is made of steel, 0.95 cm thick, and 3.33 cm diameter. Attach with countersunk screws, tap for brake pedal eye bolt 2.
Eye bolt 2 is a 0.953 N.F. thread length determined on installation, and interconnected link 2' extends to brake pedal 50.
Lock nut 3 holds eye bolt 2 in position on assembly and installation.
Fill entire system with liquid, filling chambers A, B and C through sealable filler passage 35, as well as passages 6'' and 6' and valve 200 spaces.
Pressure on foot pedal 50 moves piston 14 inward which causes liquid to move from chamber A into hollow centerbore piston 6, via liquid tubular passage or orifice 6' and open valve 200 due to movement of output piston 33. Valve 200 is held away from valve seat 200' by spring 10 bias of (e.g.) 1.415 Kg for cars and trucks require a heavier spring (e.g.) 4.08 Kg. With valve 200 open, the liquid passes into the passage 6', hollow centerbore 6'' and thence through cylinder 24 via centerbore 26 into chamber C.
In this manner, the same forces are applied to piston 33 as manual forces are applied to brake pedal 50 and thence to piston 14. This causes piston 33 to move out.
As chamber C is expanded, the outward movement of piston 33 applies force to a load (Brake Master Cylinder, MC) and this force is increased to close the brake shoes to the disks or drums to a point where forces are required to be increased to exert more power, causing a build-up of pressure as further manual forces are applied to piston 14 to exert more force on piston 33 to a point where the manual pressure is increasing the pressure in chamber A and liquid passages 26 aforementioned extending into chamber C.
As further manual force is applied to piston 14, with output piston 33 against, the master cylinder to offer resistance, increasing the pressure to 16 psi in the aforementioned parts to a point to overcome the spring 10 bias against valve piston 100
to cause piston 100 to move outward to a point of closing valve 200 against valve seat 200'.
At this point no liquid will pass from chamber A to chamber C. However, as further manual force is applied to piston 14, the pressure build-up in chamber A will cause ball valve 36 to open by collapsing spring 37 (e.g. 9.07 Kg ) and force the non- compressible liquids between closed valve 200 and piston 33 in chamber C to move piston 33 outward as piston 6 increasing the braking. This allows the foot pedal to directly drive piston 6, compounding the pressure available for the vehicle's brake cylinders. This increased pressure between piston 33 and valve 100 is applied in further sealing the valve 100. SUMMARY
The liquid reserve housing 38 straddles or otherwise attaches to cylindrical housing 18 with liquid communication established via passage 39.
Thus, when the pressure is increased in chamber A to e.g. 9.07 Kg , ball 36 is raised from its valve seat 39' to permit the liquid (oil, brake fluid or other liquid suitably non-corrosive) from chamber A to exit passageway 39 via slit 40 into chamber B which is already full so flexible diaphragm 41 (rubber or the like) is caused to expand to its dotted position against the entrapped air in air chamber B', which is maintained at about 15 p.s.i. via air valve 42. Housing 38 may be fabricated of aluminum, and is equipped with the sealable valve filler 35 at
the top of chamber B.
Air pressure switch 43 is attached to the air reservoir portion of housing 38 to signal the driver when pressure is depleted, indicating a need for instant attention to the braking system.
When the pressure against brake pedal 50 is eliminated or reduced, the diaphragm, urged by air pressure, returns the fluid to chamber A. The return passages include inlet in tube 44, ball valve 45, passage 46 back to passageway 39 as piston 33 is returned by the spring in the master cylinder. Resilient spring 10 opens valve 200, when the pressure is thus released.
A conventional brake foot pedal exhibits an approximate 3 to 1 mechanical advantage ratio over the pivital connection 2'. Applying a force on the foot pedal will result in an equal pressure on pistons 14 and 33 (each which are 2 inches in diameter). At approximately 7.257 Kg force on the foot pedal valve 200 is closed by piston 100 due to 0.3417 Kg/cm inchamber A, (also in chamber C, 26, 6" and 6') effective against 1.587 Kg spring 10 which firms the vehicular brake shoes to the drums and disks. At this point, centerbore piston 6 {being 1.27 cm in diameter) becomes the driving force and develops a 16 to 1 ratio in passage 6'', 26 and chamber C, which responds at this ratio. This ratio results from the cross section of 1.27 cm bore 26 and the larger 5.08 cm bore in chamber C at output piston 33. Additional manual force on the brake foot pedal multiplies
the additional manual force by 3:1 mechanical leverage, enhanced by the 16:1 ratio providing a 48 to 1 ratio. As a result with approximately 29.94 Kg force on the brake foot pedal, more than
683.596 Kg/cm2 can be exhibited on the vehicular brake master cylinder piston. Thus, 29.937 - 7.257 = 22.68 x 21.77 = 1088.641 Kg most vehicles require 907.19 to 1360.79 maximum braking Kgs. The above diameters may be made to accommodate pressures for vehicles of any kind, including trucks.
