Abstract:

Parallel hydraulic retarder is an auxiliary braking device in the heavy-load and long-term downhill process of commercial vehicles. The complex and difficult physical changing process inside the working chamber determines the response time and braking torque. The equivalent hydraulic model is established in this paper to describe the nonlinear coupling relationship between the inputting control pressure and the outputting braking characteristics of the oil filling and discharging system, and the relationship between the input and output is clarified, which is the intermediate variable "liquid filling rate". It is found that with the increase of vehicle speed, the amount of oil in the working chamber decreases and the braking torque eventually decreases. When the pressure is 2.5 bar, the braking torque of hydraulic retarder reaches the maximum of 4 044 N·m at 1 290 r/min, and then the braking torque decreases with the increase of rotating speed. Meanwhile, the model can effectively predict the response time of oil filling and discharging, and the maximum error between simulation and experiment is 16.12%. The changing process of oil charging and discharging system is accurately analyzed and the relevant characteristics are obtained in this paper, which can assist the structural design of hydraulic retarder and the control of vehicle braking process.
