Automobile brake pump, also known as brake pump, is one of the most important components in the automobile braking system. Its main function is to increase the braking force so that the car can quickly and safely slow down or stop during driving, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the vehicle.
Classification and function of brake pumps
Brake pumps are mainly divided into two categories: pneumatic brake pumps and hydraulic brake pumps.
Pneumatic brake pump: compressed air is generated by an air compressor, which is transmitted to the brake pedal through a pipeline to push the brake pads and brake discs to generate braking force.
Hydraulic brake pump: the pressure of the brake fluid is increased by the action under the brake pedal, and then transmitted to the brake pads through the oil pipe, so that it rubs against the brake disc to generate braking force.
Working principle of brake pump
Pneumatic brake pump: when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the compressed air generated by the air compressor is transmitted to the brake pedal through the pipeline, pushing the brake pads and brake discs to generate braking force.
Hydraulic brake pump: when the driver steps on the brake pedal, the pressure of the brake fluid increases and is transmitted to the brake pads through the oil pipe, so that it rubs against the brake disc to generate braking force.
Maintenance and servicing recommendations
In order to ensure the normal operation of the brake pump, regular maintenance is required:
Pneumatic brake pump: Regularly check the oil level and air filter of the air compressor to ensure the dryness and cleanliness of the air.
Hydraulic brake pump: Regularly check the level and quality of the brake fluid to ensure the cleanliness and effectiveness of the brake fluid, and at the same time check the firmness of the oil pipe joints and pipes to avoid oil leakage or reduced braking force.
