COIL ASSEMBLY FOR BREAKING VEHICLE AND BRAKE APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
A coil assembly for vehicle braking includes a hollow bobbin configured to allow a coil to be wound along an outer circumferential surface thereof, and having at least one engagement protrusion formed on an upper surface and/or a lower surface, a plurality of lead pins coupled with the bobbin to supply current to the coil, a plurality of pin assembly units formed on two side ends of the bobbin to fix the lead pins and connect the lead pins to the coil and a hollow case configured to surround at least a portion of the bobbin, and formed to be bent in the upper and lower portions in a first direction to be attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the bobbin.
3-WAY SOLENOID VALVE AND BRAKE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE INCLUDING SAME
A 3-way solenoid valve and a brake system for vehicle including same. The 3-way solenoid valve includes a valve chamber, valve block, a first operation assembly, a valve seat, and a second operation assembly.
SIMPLIFIED SHUTTLE VALVE DESIGN WITH SPOOL-SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
A spool-sleeve assembly includes a sleeve having a first inner radius. Flanges are integrally formed with the sleeve. The flanges extend outwardly. The flanges have flange segments via slits, disposed in the flanges. Press fittings extend inwardly from an inner wall of the sleeve proximate the ends and the slits. The sleeve has a second inner radius, smaller than the first inner radius, at the press fittings. A hole is provided through the sleeve between the flanges. The spool-sleeve assembly also includes a spool, slidably disposed inside the sleeve. Ridges outwardly extend from the spool at the ends of the spool. The ridges have outer diameters that are greater than the second inner radius. Grooves are provided in the ridges. The press fittings fit in the grooves.

BRAKING ARRANGEMENT FOR A VEHICLE
A braking arrangement for a vehicle includes a source of compressed air, a drive axle for the vehicle, a brake associated with the drive axle and connected to the source of compressed air by an air line, an operator controlled valve in the air line between the source of compressed air and the brake, a proportioning valve in the air line between the operator controlled valve and the brake. A compressor is driven by the drive axle or a drive shaft of the vehicle and has an outlet connected to a control port of the proportioning valve.
VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM
A braking system for a vehicle including front and rear wheels having wheel brakes includes a fluid displacement mechanism for supplying brake fluid to at least one of the wheel brakes. The fluid displacement mechanism includes a piston having a first position prior to braking and a second position for applying braking. A fluid accumulator is in fluid communication with the fluid displacement mechanism and stores brake fluid. A valve is in fluid communication with the fluid displacement mechanism and the accumulator and is configured to be closed while the piston moves from the second position towards the first position to prevent depletion of the accumulator.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF A HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM
A brake system for actuating a pair of front wheel brakes and a pair of rear wheel brakes includes a reservoir and a deceleration signal transmitter. First and second power transmission units are configured for selectively providing pressurized hydraulic fluid during a braking event. The first power transmission unit actuates a selected one of the front wheel brakes and a selected one of the rear wheel brakes. The second power transmission unit actuates the other one of the front wheel brakes and the other one of the rear wheel brakes. First and second electronic control units control the first and second power transmission units. A pair of rear brake motors selectively electrically actuate rear wheel brakes. Multiplex control of each of the pairs of front and rear wheel brakes is provided by an arrangement of first and second parallel valves for each wheel brake.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOST
A brake system for actuating front and rear wheel brakes includes a reservoir and a master cylinder operable by actuation of a brake pedal connected to the master cylinder to generate brake actuating pressure at a first output for hydraulically actuating the front wheel brakes. A power transmission unit is configured for selectively providing pressurized hydraulic fluid for actuating the front wheel brakes. A pair of rear brake motors selectively electrically actuate respective rear wheel brakes. An electronic control unit controls at least one of the power transmission unit and the rear brake motors. A two-position three-way valve is hydraulically connected with the master cylinder and the power transmission unit and with the front wheel brakes. The three-way valve selectively controls hydraulic fluid flow from a chosen one of the master cylinder and the power transmission unit to at least one of the front wheel brakes.
CONFIGURATION MODULE
A brake control valve arrangement includes an electro-pneumatic brake control valve block having a hold valve and a vent valve, a main regulator valve and an emergency and a tare pressure regulator. The valve block has an inlet for a brake supply pressure and an outlet for a brake cylinder, wherein an inlet and a vent pneumatic opening is provided for the hold valve and vent valve. The arrangement also includes a configuration module in pneumatic connection with the brake supply pressure and providing a pneumatic path to the inlet, and a pneumatic path to the vent valve from the brake cylinder, the arrangement also including at least one choke configured to control air flow in pneumatic paths to the inlet opening and vent opening.
