A BRAKE SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A BRAKE OF A UNIT HAULED BY A VEHICLE

摘要

A brake system for controlling a brake of a unit hauled by a vehicle, the brake system (1) comprising: - a first pedal (5) for braking a right rear wheel of the vehicle through a first braking circuit; - a second pedal (8) for braking a left rear wheel of the vehicle through a second braking circuit; - an input line arrangement including a first input line (4) for receiving a fluid from the first braking circuit and a second input line (7) for receiving a fluid from the second braking circuit; - at least one output line (9) for sending a fluid to the brake of the hauled unit; - a selective connector (13) for selectively connecting the input line arrangement to the output line (9) by setting a first connection configuration (C1) when the vehicle has a speed greater than a threshold value and a second connection configuration (C2) when the vehicle has a speed lower than the threshold value, whereby in the first connection configuration (C1) pushing any of said pedals (5, 8) activates the brake of the hauled unit, and in the second connection configuration (C2) pushing only one of said pedals (5, 8) leaves the brake of the hauled unit inactive, so that the vehicle can be steered by braking.
