Brake system for vehicle
View Patent ↗A brake system for a vehicle having a VIS actuator of an intake manifold, a vacuum pipe connected to the VIS actuator, and a vacuum pump connected to the vacuum pipe may be provided, which includes a vacuum hose having one end connected to the vacuum pipe to generate additional negative pressure, wherein the vacuum hose may be connected to a vacuum chamber. The brake negative pressure may be supplemented without increasing the capacity of the vacuum pump to improve the braking performance.
1. A brake system for a vehicle having a VIS (Variable Induction System) actuator of an intake manifold, a vacuum pipe connected to the VIS actuator, and a vacuum pump connected to the vacuum pipe and disposed upstream of a vacuum chamber to generate negative pressure, comprising:
a vacuum hose having a first end connected to the vacuum pipe to generate additional negative pressure,
wherein a second end of the vacuum hose is connected to a vacuum chamber pre-formed between an inner surface and an outer surface of the intake manifold,
wherein the first end of the vacuum hose and the vacuum pipe are connected through a “T”-shaped nipple,
wherein a check valve is disposed downstream of the vacuum chamber in a flow passage of the intake manifold and fluidly connected between the intake manifold and the vacuum chamber, and
wherein the intake manifold, the check valve, the vacuum chamber and the vacuum pump are fluid-connected in sequence.
