Hydraulic valve block and brake driving device including the same
The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic valve block and a brake driving device including the same. A hydraulic valve block of a brake driving device in which an electronic control unit is supported by one side and a motor unit controlled by the electronic control unit is supported by the other side is provided. The hydraulic valve block includes a block body in which a valve operated by an electric signal input from the electronic control unit and controlling the flow of brake oil is installed, a block through-hole formed on the block body to support the motor unit, a vent channel formed through the block body, and a first vent hole formed at one end of the vent channel and disposed above the center of the block through-hole on the other side of the block body by which the motor unit is supported.
Air processing unit, air managing system, pneumatic system and vehicle
An air processing unit for providing compressed air to a supply port for use in a pneumatic system with a pneumatic unit pneumatically connected to the supply port. The air processing unit comprises an inlet port for receiving the compressed air from an electrically controlled compressed air supply. An air drying unit having an input port pneumatically connected to the inlet port and configured to dry the compressed air received, a supply line configured to supply dried compressed air, a return flow control unit comprising an electrically controlled valve are also included in the air processing unit. The electrically controlled valve is provided as a single and only electrically controlled valve of the return flow control unit.
Compact air cleaner assembly wth noise reduction device
An air cleaner assembly comprises a filter element and a housing assembly. The filter element comprises a filter media for filtering a fluid and a first endcap positioned along a first end of the filter media and through which a first filtered air flow portion flows. The housing assembly at least partially contains the filter element and comprises a cover that defines a first outlet through which the first filtered air flow portion flows to a downstream device. The cover comprises a noise reduction device that receives the first filtered air flow portion and dissipates sound waves traveling upstream from the downstream device.
DISC BRAKING SYSTEM
A disc braking system, comprising: a brake disc; first and second perforated brake pad arrangements each comprising a brake pad, and each having a backside facing away from the brake disc and a frontside facing the brake disc and being configured to interact with the brake disc upon the disc braking system being operated; an air blowing arrangement arranged to blow air into a space between the frontsides of the first and second brake pad arrangements and the brake disc; and an air suction arrangement coupled to the backsides of the first and second brake pad arrangements and being controllable to suck dust resulting from braking through the first and second brake pad arrangements, wherein the air blowing arrangement comprises an expansion valve, a perforated plate, and a diffuser in series.
