The accelerating valve of brakes KAMAZ

The accelerator valve supplies compressed air to the energy accumulators and is designed to reduce the response time of the parking and spare brake drive by reducing the length of the compressed air inlet line into the spring energy accumulators and releasing it from them into the atmosphere

It consists of a control chamber 2, a piston 3, an exhaust valve 1 and an intake valve 4, and an intake valve spring 5. Compressed air from the receiver is constantly supplied to terminal III.

Terminal IV is connected to the manual brake valve, terminal I is connected to the cavities of the cylinders of spring energy accumulators, terminal II is connected to the atmosphere.

Scheme of operation of the accelerating valve: a) - device; b) - disinhibited position; c) - position when braking; I - output to the energy storage cylinders; II - atmospheric output; III - output to the receiver; IV - output to the manual brake valve; 1 - exhaust valve; 2 - control chamber; 3 - piston; 4 - inlet valve; 5 - intake valve spring

In the initial position, when the car is released (Fig. b), piston 3 is in the lower position, under the influence of compressed air, the exhaust valve 1 is closed, the inlet valve 4 is open, since the area of the upper part of the piston 3 is larger than the area of the lower one, and the pressure in cavity Aand chamber 2 is the same.

The output I is separated from the atmospheric output II, and the pistons of the spring energy accumulators are under compressed air pressure and do not act on the brake chamber rods.

When braking (Fig. 1c), compressed air from chamber 2 is released into the atmosphere through the atmospheric outlet of the hand brake valve.

As the pressure in chamber 2 drops, piston 3 moves upward, inlet valve 4 closes under the action of spring 5, and outlet valve 1 opens.

Through outlet I and the open outlet valve 1, the cavities of the spring energy accumulators communicate with the atmospheric outlet II.

The pressure in the cylinder cavities of spring energy accumulators decreases, the springs expand, and the brake mechanisms are braked.

Release is carried out by supplying compressed air from the tap to terminal IV and then into chamber 2.

Piston 3, moving downwards, first opens exhaust valve 1, then inlet valve 4.

Compressed air comes from the receiver into the cavity of the spring energy accumulators.

The pressure in the cavities of the cylinders of spring energy accumulators increases, the springs are compressed, and the brake mechanisms are released.

The proportionality between the control pressure in terminal IV and the pressure in the cavities of the spring energy accumulators (in terminal I) is maintained by piston 3.

When a certain pressure is reached in the outlet I, the piston 3 moves up to the closed inlet valve 4, moving under the action of the spring 5, and further pressure growth stops.

When the pressure in port IV decreases, piston 3, under the influence of higher pressure in port I, moves upward and breaks away from outlet valve 1.

Compressed air from the cavities of spring energy accumulators escapes into the atmosphere through open valve 1 and atmospheric outlet II, the pressure in cavity A decreases.

Replacing the relay valve

The relay valve must be replaced if the following malfunctions occur:

  • - violation of valve tightness. An external sign is air leakage through the terminals where the cover is attached to the valve body;
  • - mechanical damage to the valve body, cover and pistons, interfering with its operation

Tools needed: wrenches 22x24, 17x19, 12x13, spanner 13x17, vice

  • - open valve 7. Using precision control valve 2, set pressure on pressure gauge 3 to 736 kPa (7.5 kgf/cm 2).

There should be no air leakage from the outlet window 8 of device 4 and through the switched on valve 7. Close valve 2 fine control

  • - open tap 1. Air leaks from outlet window 8, device 4 and through tap 7 should not be on. Close tap 7
  • - quickly open and close valve 2 for precise control three times. In this case, on pressure gauge 5 the pressure should change from 0 to 736 kPa (7.5 kgf/cm 2) and back
  • - slowly increase the pressure on pressure gauge 3 using fine control valve 2. When the pressure on pressure gauge 3 reaches 29.4-44.1 kPa (0.3-0.45 kgf/cm 2), pressure gauge 5 should begin to show pressure
  • - increase the pressure on pressure gauge 3 to 736 kPa (7.5 kgf/cm 2). In this case, the pressure on pressure gauge 5 should increase synchronously. With a pressure on pressure gauge 3 equal to 647-687 kPa (6.6-7.0 kgf/cm 2), the pressure on pressure gauge 5 should be equal to 716.1 kPa (7.3 kgf/cm 2)
  • - using precision control valve 2, we slowly reduce the pressure on pressure gauge 3 to 0, on pressure gauge 5 the pressure should synchronously drop to 0

The stepwise change in pressure during all tests should not exceed 19.6 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm 2)

During testing, there should be no air leakage from devices 4 at any pressure at terminal S.
