The functional principle and maintenance of the handbrake valve
The handbrake valve is a key component used to control the vehicle's braking system, typically found in heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, and construction machinery. It controls the vehicle's parking brake or auxiliary braking system through manual operation, ensuring that the vehicle can brake safely when parked or in an emergency situation.

Main Functions
Parking BrakeThe handbrake valve is used to control the vehicle's parking brake system, ensuring that the vehicle does not move unexpectedly when parked.
Auxiliary BrakeIn certain situations, the handbrake valve can also be used for auxiliary driving brakes, providing additional braking force.
Emergency BrakeIn the event of a failure of the driving brake, the handbrake valve can be used as a backup braking system.
Working Principle
The handbrake valve typically operates through mechanical or pneumatic means:
MechanicalOperated directly by a lever or handle to control the braking mechanism.
PneumaticControlled by compressed air to manage the braking system; when the handle or button is operated, the valve adjusts the air pressure to control the action of the brakes.
Common Types
Lever-type Handbrake ValveOperated by pulling a handle to control the braking system, commonly found in trucks and buses.
Button-type Handbrake ValveReleases the brake by pressing a button, usually used in construction machinery or special vehicles.
Foot-operated Handbrake ValveOperated by a foot pedal, commonly found in certain heavy vehicles.
Maintenance and Precautions
Regular InspectionEnsure that the mechanical components or pneumatic system of the handbrake valve are functioning properly to avoid brake failure due to wear or air leaks.
Lubrication MaintenanceRegularly lubricate the lever or hinge parts of the mechanical handbrake valve to ensure smooth operation.
Air Pressure CheckFor pneumatic handbrake valves, regularly check that the air pressure is normal to avoid reduced braking effectiveness due to insufficient air pressure.
