BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

A braking system for a vehicle having a hydraulic brake device for applying a friction brake force to at least one wheel of the vehicle includes a master cylinder and a mechanically controlled backup hydraulic cylinder. The master cylinder is in fluid communication with a reserve of brake fluid and in fluid communication with hydraulic brake device. The master cylinder is operative to control the hydraulic brake device upon actuation. The mechanically controlled regulation backup cylinder is in fluid communication with the reserve of brake fluid and in fluid communication with the master cylinder. The backup hydraulic cylinder is mechanically controlled to move brake fluid therein and thereby actuate the master cylinder by delivering brake fluid to the master cylinder.
