2、long way in recent years.</p><p>　　1）Drum Brakes</p><p>　　Early automotive brake systems, after the era of hand levers of course, used a drum design at all four wheels. They were called drum bra

3、kes because the components were housed in a round drum that rotated along with the wheel. Inside was a set of drum that, when the brake pedal was pressed, would force the shoes against the drum and slow the wheel. Fluid

4、was used to transfer the movement of the brake pedal into the movement of the brake shoes, while the drum themselves were made of heat-resistant</p><p>　　This basic design proved capable under most circumsta

5、nces, but it had one major flaw. Under high braking conditions, like descending a steep hill with a heavy load or repeated high-speed slow downs, drum brakes would often fade and lose effectiveness. Usually this fading w

6、as the result of too much heat build-up within the shoes. Remember that the principle of braking involves turning kinetic energy (wheelmovement) into thermal energy (heat). For this reason, drum brakes can only operate a

7、s long </p><p>　　2） Disc Brakes</p><p>　　Disc brakes are used on the front wheels of most cars and on all four wheels on many cars. A disc rotor is attached to the wheel hub and rotates with the

8、 tire and wheel. When the driver applies the brakes, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder is used to push friction linings against the rotor to stop it.</p><p>　　In the disc brake rotor assembly, the

9、rotor is usually made of cast iron. The hub may be manufactured as one piece with the rotor or in two parts. The rotor has a machined braking surface on each face. A splash shield, mounted to the steering knuckle, protec

10、ts the rotor from road splash.</p><p>　　A rotor may be solid or ventilated. Ventilated designs have cooling fins cast between the braking surfaces. This construction considerably increases the cooling area o

11、f the rotor casting. Also, when the wheel is in motion, the rotation of these fan-type fins in the rotor provides increased air circulation and more efficient cooling of the brake. Disc brakes do not fade even after rapi

12、d, hard brake applications because of the rapid cooling of the rotor.</p><p>　　The hydraulic and friction components are housed in a caliper assembly. The caliper assembly straddles the outside diameter of t

13、he hub and rotor assembly. When the brakes are applied, the pressure of the pistons is exerted through the shoes in a 'clamping＇ action on the rotor. Because equal opposed hydraulic pressures are applied to both face

14、s of the rotor throughout application, no distortion of the rotor occurs, regardless of the severity or duration of application. There are many variations o</p><p>　　Most late-model cars use the moving calip

15、er design. This design uses a single hydraulic piston and a caliper that can float or slide during application. Floating designs｀float＇ or move on pins or bolts. In sliding designs, the caliper slides sideways on machine

16、d surfaces. Both designs work in basically the same way.</p><p>　　In the single piston floating caliper, the single-piston caliper assembly is constructed from a single casting that contains one large piston

17、 bore in the inboard section of the casting. Inboard refers to the side of the casting nearest the center line of the car when the caliper is mounted. A fluid inlet hole and bleeder valve hole are machined into the inboa

18、rd section of the caliper and connect directly to the piston bore.</p><p>　　The caliper cylinder bore contains a piston and seal. The seal has a rectangular cross section. It is located in a groove that is m

19、achined in the cylinder bore. The seal fits around the outside diameter of the piston and provides a hydraulic seal between the piston and the cylinder wall. The rectangular seal provides automatic adjustment of clearanc

20、e between the rotor and shoe and linings following each application. When the brakes are applied, the caliper seal is deflected by the hydraulic pres</p><p>　　As brake linings wear, piston travel tends to ex

21、ceed the limit of deflection of the seal; the piston therefore slides in the seal to the precise extent necessary to compensate for lining wear.</p><p>　　The top of the piston bore is machined to accept a se

22、aling dust boot. The piston in many calipers is steel, precision ground, and nickel chrome plated, giving it a very hard and durable surface. Some manufacturers are using a plastic piston. This is much lighter than steel

23、 and provides for a much lighter brake system. The plastic piston insulates well and prevents heat from transferring to the brake fluid. Each caliper contains two shoe and lining assemblies. They are constructed of a sta

24、mped me</p><p>　　The application and release of the brake pressure actually causes a very slight movement of the piston and caliper. Upon release of the braking effort, the piston and caliper merely relax in

25、to a released position. In the released position, the shoes do not retract very far from the rotor surfaces.</p><p>　　As the brake lining wears, the piston moves out of the caliper bore and the caliper repos

26、itions itself on the mounting bolts an equal distance toward the car. This way, the caliper assembly maintains the inboard and outboard shoe and lining in the same relationship with the rotor surface throughout the full

27、length of the lining.</p><p>　　Sliding calipers are made to slide back and forth on the steering knuckle support to which it is mounted. There is a V shaped surface, sometimes called a rail, on the caliper t

28、hat matches a similar surface on the steering knuckle support. These two mating surfaces allow the caliper to slide in and out. The internal components of the caliper are the same as those previously described.</p>

29、<p>　　The stationary or fixed caliper has a hydraulic piston on each side of the rotor. Larger calipers may have two pistons on each side of the rotor. The inboard and outboard brake shoes are pushed against the r

30、otor by their own pistons. The caliper is anchored solidly and does not move. The seals around the pistons work just like those already described. The main disadvantage of the stationary caliper is that it has more hydra

31、ulic components. This means they are more expensive and have more parts t</p><p>　　2.Other Components in the Hydraulic System:</p><p>　　1）Proportioning Valve or Equalizer Valve</p><p&

32、gt;　　These valves are mounted between the master cylinder and the rear wheels. They are designed to adjust the pressure between the front and rear brakes depending on how hard you are stopping. The shorter you stop, the

33、more of the vehicle’s weight is transferred to the front wheels, in some cases, causing the rear to lift and the front to dive. These valves are designed to direct more pressure to the front and less pressure to the rear

34、 the harder you stop. This minimizes the chance of premature lock</p><p>　　2）Pressure Differential Valve</p><p>　　This valve is usually mounted just below the master cylinder and is responsible

35、for turning the brake warning light on when it detects a malfunction. It measures the pressure from the two sections of the master cylinder and compares them. Since it is mounted ahead of the proportioning or equalizer v

36、alve, the two pressures it detects should be equal. If it detects a difference, it means that there is probably a brake fluid leak somewhere in the system. </p><p>　　3）Combination Valve</p><p>　

37、　The Combination valve (Figure) is simply a proportioning valve and a pressure differential valve that is combined into one unit.</p><p>　　The parking brake (a．k．a(chǎn)．emergency brake ) system controls the rear

38、brakes through a series of steel cables that are connected to either a hand lever or a foot pedal. The idea is that the system is fully mechanical and completely bypasses the hydraulic system so that the vehicle can be b

39、rought to a stop even if there is a total brake failure.</p><p>　　On drum brakes, the cable pulls on a lever mounted in the rear brake and is directly connected to the brake shoes. This has the effect of byp

40、assing the wheel cylinder and controlling the brakes directly.</p><p>　　Disk brakes on the rear wheels add additional complication for parking brake systems. There are two main designs for adding a mechanica

41、l parking brake to rear disk brakes. The first type uses the existing rear wheel caliper and adds a lever attached to a mechanical corkscrew device inside the caliper piston. When the parking brake cable pulls on the lev

42、er, this corkscrew device pushes the piston against the pads, thereby bypassing the hydraulic system, to stop the vehicle. This type of system is</p><p>　　On cars with automatic transmissions, the parking br

43、ake is rarely used. This can cause a couple of problems. The biggest problem is that the brake cables tend to get corroded and eventually seize up causing the parking brake to become inoperative. By using the parking bra

44、ke from time to time, the cables stay clean and functional. Another problem comes from the fact that the self adjusting mechanism on certain brake systems uses the parking brake actuation to adjust the brakes. If the par

45、king bra</p><p>　　The power brake booster (Figure) is mounted of the firewall directly behind the master cylinder and, along with the master cylinder, is directly connected with the brake pedal. Its purpose

46、is to amplify the available foot pressure applied to the brake pedal so that the amount of foot pressure required to stop even the largest vehicle is minimal. Power for the booster comes from engine vacuum. The automobil

47、e engine produces vacuum as a by-product of normal operation and is freely available for us</p><p>　　The last topic is the Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS). The most efficient braking pressure takes place just before

48、each wheel lock up. When you slam on the brakes in a panic stop and the wheels lock up, causing a screeching sound and leaving strips of rubber on the pavement, you do not stop the vehicle nearly as short as it is capabl

49、e of stopping. Also, while the wheels are locked up, you loose all steering control so that , if you have an opportunity to steer around the obstacle, you will not be able to</p><p>　　Anti-lock brake systems

50、 solve this lockup problem by rapidly pumping the brakes whenever the system detects a wheel that is locked up. In most cases, only the wheel that is locked will be pumped, while full braking pressure stays available to

51、the other wheels. This effect allows you to stop in the shortest amount of time while maintaining full steering control even if one or more wheels are on ice. The system uses a computer to monitor the speed of each wheel

52、. When it detects that one or more wh</p><p>　　The system consists of am electronic control unit, a hydraulic actuator, and wheel speed sensors at each wheel. If the control unit detects a malfunction in the

53、 system, it will illuminate an ABS warming light on the dash to let you know that there is a problem. If there is a problem, the antilock system will not function but the brakes will otherwise function normally.</p>

54、;<p>　　3.Friction materials</p><p>　　Brake shoes and pads are constructed in a similar manner. The pad or shoe is composed of a metal backing plate and a friction lining. The lining is either bonded (

55、glued) to the metal, or riveted. Generally, riveted linings provide superior performance, but good quality bonded linings are perfectly adequate.</p><p>　　Friction materials will vary between manufacturers a

56、nd type of pad and the material compound may be referred to as: asbestos, organic, semi-metallic, metallic. The difference between these compounds lies in the types and percentages of friction materials used, material bi

57、nders and performance modifiers.</p><p>　　Generally speaking, organic and non-metallic asbestos compound brakes are quiet, easy on rotors and provide good feel. But this comes at the expense of high temperat

58、ure operation, so they may not be your best choice for heavy duty use or mountain driving. In most cases, these linings will wear somewhat faster than metallic compound pads, so you will usually replace them more often.

59、But, when using these pads, rotors tend to last longer.</p><p>　　Semi-metallic or metallic compound brake linings will vary in performance based on the metallic contents of the compound. Again, generally spe

60、aking, the higher the metallic content, the better the friction material will resist heat. This makes them more appropriate for heavy duty applications, but at the expense of braking performance before the pad reaches op

61、erating temperature. The first few applications on a cold morning may not give strong braking. Also, metallic and semi-metallic are more l</p><p>　　When deciding what type of brake lining is right for you, k

62、eep in mind that today's modern cars have brake materials which are matched to the expected vehicle＇s performance capabilities. Changing the material from OEM specification could adversely affect brake feel or respon

63、siveness. Before changing the brake materials, talk to your dealer or parts supplier to help decide what is most appropriate for your application. Remember that heavy use applications such as towing, stop and go driving,

64、 driv</p><p>　　Some more exotic materials are also used in brake linings, among which are Kevlar and carbon compounds. These materials have the capability of extremely good performance for towing, mountain d

65、riving or racing. Wear characteristics can be similar to either the metallic or the non-metallic linings, depending on the product you buy. Most race applications tend to wear like metallic linings, while many of the str

66、eet applications are more like the non-metallic</p><p><b>　　制動系統(tǒng)</b></p><p><b>　　1. 剎車：鼓與盤</b></p><p>　　制動技術(shù)，就像懸浮技術(shù)和燃料系統(tǒng)技術(shù)，已走過了漫長的道路</p><p><
