  • Patent number: 11691608
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electronic parking brake system (2), comprising an air supply (4), a check valve (6), connected to the air supply, an electro-pneumatic control unit (8), at least one park brake actuator (10), a relay valve (12), comprising a first port (12a) connected to the check valve, a second port (12b) connected to the electro-pneumatic control unit, a third port (12c) connected to the park brake actuator and a fourth port (12d) which is in communication with the atmosphere, and an electrically actuated valve (14), which is controlled by the electro-pneumatic control unit (8) and which includes a first orifice (14a) connected to a compressed air line (16) extending between the check valve and the air supply, a second orifice (14b), a third orifice (14c) connected to the electro-pneumatic control unit (8), and preferably a vent orifice. The second orifice (14b) is connected to another compressed air line (18) extending between the check valve (6) and the first port (12a) of the relay valve (12).

  • Publication number: 20230024317
    Abstract: Systems and methods carried out in a truck (TW) configured to be coupled to a trailer (TR), wherein a trailer connection status (CST) is determined by a pneumatic line test performed on a test pneumatic line arranged to pneumatically couple the trailer to the truck, the method comprising determining a line test circumstantial criterion, such criterion allowing or not a pneumatic line test to be performed, performing the pneumatic line test, whenever the test circumstantial criterion allows it, and updating therefrom the trailer connection status (CST), from a result of step b- and/or as time passes by, wherein the line test circumstantial criterion comprises at least a first condition representative of an air pressure prevailing in the pneumatic line below a predefined test threshold, a second condition representative of a presence, and/or activity of a driver of the truck in the truck’s cabin.
