MOTOR-DRIVEN DRUM BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Provided is motor-driven drum brake system including: a motor-driven drum brake including a brake shoe inside a drum and allowing the brake shoe to be pressed on an inner surface of the drum by hydraulic pressure of a wheel cylinder or an operation of a motor to perform braking; and a controller configured to control the motor to engage the motor-driven drum brake, wherein the controller is configured to, upon a total count of parking apply operations of the motor-driven drum brake being greater than a preset count when performing a parking apply operation, correct a target clamping force of the motor-driven drum brake and perform the parking apply operation according to the corrected target clamping force.
BRAKE SYSTEMS, VEHICLES INCLUDING SUCH SYSTEMS,METHODS OF OPERATING SUCH SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OFINSTALLING SUCH SYSTEMS
Brake systems, vehicles having such brake systems, and methods of operating and installing the brake systems on vehicles. Such a brake system operates one or more brakes to reduce the speed of the vehicle through the operation of a brake pedal. The system includes a hydraulic circuit functionally coupled to the one or more brakes and configured to apply a braking force with the brake(s) that is in relation to a change in pressure of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic circuit, and an air circuit functionally coupling the brake pedal to the hydraulic circuit. The air circuit is configured to convert manual actuation of the brake pedal to a change in the pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic circuit and thereby apply a braking force in relation to a degree of actuation of the brake pedal.
S-CAM BRAKE
An S-cam brake including a brake chamber to which compressed air is supplied; a slack adjuster rotatably connecting to the brake chamber; an S-cam unit having an S-cam connecting to and rotating around the slack adjuster; and a drum having a lining generating braking force with widening according to rotation of the S-cam is provided, wherein the brake chamber includes an upper housing having an air supply port through which compressed air is introduced; a lower housing coupled to the upper housing to form an internal space; a diaphragm having edges fixed to the upper housing and the lower housing and deformed by compressed air; a piston disposed to contact the diaphragm and move linearly; a piston push rod extending from the piston and having one end connected to the slack adjuster; and a spring having one end supported by the piston and the other end supported by the lower housing, wherein a thickness of the upper housing is greater than a thickness of the lower housing.
