  • Patent number: 11124166
    Abstract: A hydraulic oil resupply device (40) is provided between first accumulators (15F, 15R) in a manual braking operation circuit (11) and a second accumulator (25) in an automatic brake circuit (24). The hydraulic oil resupply device (40) resupplies hydraulic oil accumulated in the second accumulator (25) to the first accumulators (15F, 15R) at the operating of a manual braking operation by an operator. This configuration can suppress a rising speed of a brake pressure at the manual operation braking from being slow. Accordingly, in a vehicular brake system, it is possible to enhance a braking capability by the manual braking operation and improve the reliability.

    Abstract: An autonomous traveling vehicle, equipped with autonomous traveling function on a standard machine, has a high-pressure selector valve placed on a flow path in which pressure-oil is supplied from a standard brake valve (SBV) installed in the standard machine to a hydraulic brake. A flow path is installed to connect the high-pressure selector valve and an autonomous brake control valve (ABCV) that is supplied with pressure-oil delivered by a hydraulic pump. Further, an autonomous traveling controller is installed to perform control for autonomous travel, and an autonomous brake controller is installed to perform open or close control on the ABCV in response to a braking instruction from the autonomous traveling controller. When the brake pedal is stepped on, the pressure-oil flows from the SBV to the hydraulic brake, and when the autonomous traveling controller outputs a stop instruction, the pressure-oil flows from the ABCV to the hydraulic brake.
