Definitions
- Braking device for taking up dead travel, in particular for a motor vehicle
- the present invention relates to a braking device for taking up dead strokes, in particular for a motor vehicle.
- a braking device for a motor vehicle comprises a master cylinder controlled by means of a brake pedal by means of a pneumatic assistance servomotor which comprises two chambers separated from each other by a movable wall mounted on an axial piston of the servomotor.
- This axial piston is interposed between a control rod connected to the brake pedal and a push rod acting on a piston of the master cylinder, to transmit to this piston a force exerted on the brake pedal and amplified by the servomotor.
- the dead strokes are filled in the conventional way by displacement of the brake pedal from its rest position, without pressure build-up in the braking device.
- the movable pardi of the servomotor is connected with a predetermined axial clearance to the piston of the servomotor.
- the rear chamber of the booster is supplied with atmospheric air and the movable wall is moved forward without displacement of the piston of the booster until the aforementioned clearance is taken up.
- Moving the movable wall forward without moving the actuator piston causes the primary piston of the master cylinder to move forward and (after closing the valve on the secondary chamber) an increase in pressure in the primary chamber of the master cylinder.
- the movable wall drives the piston of the servomotor forward and we then return to the conventional operation of a pneumatic assistance servomotor connected to a master cylinder.
- the extent of the dead strokes which are caught up by the increase in pressure in the master cylinder is determined by the axial play of the movable wall on the piston of the booster.
- this clearance can be chosen to be small (about 2 millimeters) if one wishes only to make up for the dead strokes until the valves of the master cylinder are closed, or it can be chosen more important, up to 15 millimeters for example, if you want to make up for the dead strokes until the brake discs are licked by the pads.
- this play can vary a lot from one circuit to another compared to the theoretical value chosen and one can never be sure that the dead races in a circuit of determined braking will be caught in the desired way.
- the object of the invention is in particular to provide a simple, effective and inexpensive solution to this problem.
- a braking device for compensating for dead strokes, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a master cylinder associated by a pneumatic booster with a brake pedal, the servomotor being divided into two chambers by a movable wall mounted on an axial piston arranged between a control rod connected to the brake pedal and a push rod acting on a piston of the master cylinder, characterized in that the movable wall is in support on the piston of the master cylinder and is axially displaceable relative to the piston of the booster, means being provided for securing in axial displacement the piston of the booster and said movable wall when the pressure in the master cylinder increases as a result of the displacement of the piston of the master cylinder by said movable wall from a rest position.
- the dead strokes are caught independently of the possible axial displacement of the movable wall with respect to the piston of the booster, and therefore independently of the dimensional tolerances for manufacturing and mounting the braking circuit.
- the piston of the master cylinder has been moved forward by the movable wall, and the valve of the secondary chamber is closed, l he resulting increase in pressure in the master cylinder causes the movable wall and the actuator piston to solidify in axial displacement.
- the means for securing the movable wall and the piston of the booster comprise a part pivotally mounted on the piston between a first position where the movable wall and the piston are separated and a second position where the movable wall and the piston are secured, and stop means keeping the tilting part in its first position until the pressure in the master cylinder has enough increased from an initial value corresponding to an absence of braking.
- these stop means are carried by the push rod whose end located on the side of the master cylinder is sensitive to the pressure prevailing in the master cylinder.
- the pressure in the master cylinder acts on the push rod which is moved, with the abovementioned abutment means, in a direction allowing the tilting of the aforementioned part and the attachment of the movable wall and the piston of the booster.
- the piston of the master cylinder is tubular and the push rod extends inside this piston and rests on an annular piston mounted inside the piston of the master. -cylinder and on which acts the pressure prevailing in the master cylinder.
- the stop means carried by the push rod are located between the tilting part and the other end of the push rod, which is associated with the piston of the booster and with the control rod by reaction means, for example comprising a rubber reaction disc or the like.
- the tilting part is itself resiliently urged on the stop means by a return spring which is mounted in abutment on the movable wall of the booster or on a part associated with this movable wall.
- the return spring is supported on an annular piece which is interposed between the movable wall of the booster and the piston of the master cylinder and which forms a bearing surface of a spring to return the movable wall to the rest position.
- this annular part comprises an axial cylindrical rim on which is engaged, with little play, a washer which forms the above-mentioned tilting part.
- the invention is also applicable to braking devices of another type, for example to braking devices comprising reaction means with hydraulic piston and braking devices of the type with constant or variable assistance ratio.
- the reference 10 designates a pneumatic brake booster, which is leaktightly divided by a movable wall 12 into a front chamber 14 connected to a source of vacuum, such as the engine vacuum for example, and a rear chamber 16 which communicates with the front chamber 14 at rest, that is to say in the absence of braking, and which is isolated from the front chamber 14 and supplied with air at atmospheric pressure during braking, as will be described in more detail below.
- a source of vacuum such as the engine vacuum for example
- the movable wall 12 is fixed at its internal periphery to an annular part 18 of substantially frustoconical shape, slidably mounted with sealing on a cylindrical front end portion 20 of an axial piston 22 of the servomotor 10, which is itself guided in sealed sliding in an axial chimney 23 of the casing of the booster 10, this chimney 23 being oriented towards the rear.
- a three-way valve 30 is mounted inside the piston 22, around the control rod 24 and is actuated by the latter to close the communication between the chambers 14 and 16 of the servomotor 10 and supply the rear chamber 16 with air at atmospheric pressure during braking.
- the front end of the plunger 28 is intended to abut on a reaction disc 32 of substantially incompressible material, for example rubber, elastomer or the like mounted in a reaction cup 34 at the rear end of a rod.
- thrust 36 which extends axially forward from the piston 22 of the booster and which is intended to act on a primary piston 38 of the master cylinder MC, to move this primary piston forwards in a primary chamber 40 of the master - cylinder and increase the pressure in this chamber and in the brake circuit.
- the primary piston 38 is tubular in shape and contains the push rod 36, the front end of which bears on a small annular piston 42 slidably mounted sealingly inside the primary piston 38.
- a return spring 44 is mounted between the front end face of the small piston 42 and a transverse wall of the primary piston 38, to hold the small piston 42 in abutment on the front end of the push rod 36.
- a passage 46 formed in the front part of the primary piston 38 establishes a communication between the chamber 40 of the master cylinder and the front end of the small piston 42, so that the pressure prevailing in the primary chamber 40 and in the braking circuit can act on the front end of the small piston 42 .
- the rear end of the primary piston 38 is supported on an annular part 48 whose external periphery is supported on the frustoconical part 18 on which is mounted the movable wall 12 of the booster.
- a return spring 50 is mounted inside the booster around the primary piston 38, between a front wall of the booster and the annular part 48, to urge the latter as well as the frustoconical part 18 and the movable wall 12 permanently towards the rear.
- the annular part 48 has at its internal periphery a cylindrical rim 52 oriented towards the rear and ending at a short distance from the reaction bowl 34.
- a washer 54 is engaged with a slight clearance around this cylindrical rim 52 and is retained, at a point 56 of its outer periphery, by the piston 22 of the booster.
- a tab 56 is formed at the periphery outside of the washer 54 and is engaged in a corresponding slot in the cylindrical wall of the piston 22.
- the part of the washer 54 diametrically opposite to this lug 56 is formed with another lug 58 engaged in a wide slot in the cylindrical wall of the piston 22, so that the washer 54 can tilt with a limited angular movement in one direction and in the other around the tab 56 and thus comes to get caught on the cylindrical rim 52 of the annular part 48.
- a small spring of reminder 60 is mounted between the annular part 48 and the washer 54 to urge the latter permanently towards the rear.
- a stop 62 such as for example a transverse pin, is mounted on the push rod 36, between the washer 54 and the reaction cup 34 and extends with clearance in a slot or longitudinal notch 64 of the cylindrical rim 52 of the annular part 48.
- the washer 54 urged by the spring 60 bears on the stop 62 and is held in a position where the cylindrical rim 52 of the annular part 48 can move freely inside the washer 54.
- a tilting of the washer 54 in one direction or the other from the position shown will wedge this washer on the cylindrical rim 52 of the annular part 48 and will have the effect to secure in axial translation the piston 20 and the movable wall 12 of the booster.
- Rooms 14 and 16 of the servomotor communicate with each other and are connected to a vacuum source, the movable wall 12 and " the piston of the servomotor are in their rear extreme position and the washer 54 in the position shown, in which the cylindrical flange 52 of the part 48 freely crosses the washer 54 and is movable in axial translation relative to the latter.
- the communication between the chambers 14 and 16 of the booster is interrupted, then the rear chamber 16 begins to be supplied with air at atmospheric pressure.
- the movable wall 12 is then moved forward against the action of the return spring 50, independently of the piston 20 of the booster which remains in the position shown.
- This forward movement of the movable wall 12 results in a forward movement of the primary piston 38 of the master cylinder, the rear end of this piston being in abutment on the annular part 48 which is driven by the wall movable 12.
- the forward movement of the primary piston 38 has the effect of isolating the primary chamber 40 of the master cylinder from its supply of brake fluid and increasing the pressure in the primary chamber 40 and in the braking.
- This increase in pressure is transmitted to the small piston 42 mounted inside the primary piston 38 bearing on the push rod 36 and tends to move this small piston 42 backwards, as well as the push rod 36 on which it is in support.
- the axial thrust force thus exerted on the rod 36 results in a deformation of the reaction disc 32 which comes to bear on the plunger 28 mounted at the end of the control rod 24.
- a reaction force is thus transmitted to the brake pedal via the control rod 24.
- the force exerted on the push rod 36 by the small piston 42 subjected to the pressure in the primary chamber 40 has the effect of moving the stopper 62 backwards and of authorizing the rearward tilting of the washer 54 urged in this direction by the spring 60.
- the annular clearance between the internal periphery of the washer 54 and the cylindrical rim 52 of the part 48 is small, a small tilting towards the rear of the washer 54 is sufficient to secure the movable wall 12 and the piston 20 of the actuator in translation axial.
- the movable wall 12 and the piston of the booster are integral in axial translation and we therefore return to the operation of a braking device of a conventional type, in which the force exerted on the brake pedal by the driver is transmitted by the piston and the movable wall of the booster to the primary piston 38 of the master cylinder.
- the invention applies to braking devices of the type shown in the drawing, in which a rubber reaction disc or the like is interposed between the push rod and the plunger associated with the control rod, and to braking devices of another type, for example in which a hydraulic piston reaction device is interposed between the push rod and the control rod.
