What are the components of a car's braking system?

The braking system mainly consists of four parts: energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake.
1. The energy supply device includes air compressor, air storage cylinder, pressure regulating valve, safety valve, intake filter, exhaust filter, pipeline filter, oil-water separator, air dryer, antifreeze, multi circuit pressure protection valve, and other devices. Their functions are as follows:
(1) Air compressor: Produces compressed gas for braking.
(2) Air storage cylinder: used to store compressed air and ensure that it can be braked at any time.
(3) Pressure regulating valve and safety valve: Ensure that the pressure inside the air reservoir is within the specified range, ensuring normal braking and preventing the air reservoir from expanding.
(4) Air intake filter, exhaust filter, and pipeline filter: Clean the air, prevent dust, impurities, etc. from entering the braking system, reduce wear, and improve the service life of various components of the braking system.
(5) Oil water separator: used to separate the water in compressed air from the lubricant, avoiding corrosion of non oil resistant rubber components in the air storage cylinder and pipeline.
(6) Air dryer: The air discharged from the oil-water separator inevitably contains a small amount of water. Use a dryer to dry it to avoid corrosion of other metal components in the air storage cylinder and pipeline.
(7) Antifreeze device: During cold seasons, it prevents the accumulation of water in pipelines and other pneumatic components from freezing, while also preventing pipeline blockage and ensuring normal braking.
(8) Multi circuit pressure protection valve: In a multi circuit braking system, when a set of air leaks and damages, the multi circuit pressure protection valve can ensure that the remaining complete circuit continues to inflate.
2. Control device
The control devices in the braking system include brake pedals, handbrake, etc.
3. Brake transmission device
The brake transmission device is divided into mechanical and hydraulic types.
4. Brakes
A brake is a device that can slow down moving parts (or moving machines), stop or maintain a stopped state. Commonly known as brakes or brakes. To reduce braking torque and structural dimensions, brakes are usually installed on high-speed shafts, but for large equipment with higher safety requirements (such as mining elevators, elevators, etc.), they should be installed on low-speed shafts.
