- figure 1 the set of a servo
- the pneumatic actuator 10 comprises a rigid casing 12 inside which is movably mounted a transverse partition 14 which i sealingly delimits a front chamber 16, subjected to a first pressure "Pi” whose value is equal to the vacuum value of the vehicle engine, and a rear chamber 18 subjected to a second pressure "P 2 ".
- the second pressure "P 2 " is likely, as will be described later, to vary between the value of engine depression "Pi" and the value of atmospheric pressure ⁇ p II r a •
- the front chamber 16 is supplied with pressure “Pi” via a vacuum conduit 20 which is connected to a source of vacuum in the vehicle, for example a vacuum prevailing in an intake manifold (not shown ) of a motor of the vehicle.
- the pneumatic actuator 10 comprises a movable piston 22 of axis A which is integral with the movable partition 14. Inside of the casing 12, the movable partition 14 is returned elastically towards the rear by a return spring 24 which bears on the casing 12 and on a front face 26 of the movable piston 22.
- the front face 26 of the movable piston 22 carries a reaction cup 30 inside which is arranged, as will be seen below, a reaction disc 32 of elastomeric material.
- a front face 34 of the reaction cup 30 is integral with an actuating rod 28, which consequently is integral with the displacements of the movable piston 22, and which allows the actuation of a hydraulic master cylinder 36 for braking of the vehicle.
- a control rod 38 which i for example is connected to a brake pedal of the vehicle via a coupling sleeve 41 which is arranged at its rear free end, is capable of moving in the movable piston 22, selectively as a function of an axial input force exerted forward on the control rod 38.
- the actuating force is exerted against a return force produced on the rod 38 by a return spring 40 which is interposed between the movable piston 22 and the control rod 38.
- control rod 38 which is opposite its free end is shaped as a ball joint 42 and is received in a housing 44 complementary to a substantially cylindrical plunger 46 which is slidably mounted in the movable piston 22.
- a rear annular seat 48 of the plunger 46 is part of a three-way valve 50 which is capable of varying the second pressure "P 2 " prevailing in the rear chamber 18, in particular by connecting the front chamber 16 and the chamber rear 18 when the control rod 38 is in the rest position, or by gradually bringing the rear chamber 18 into communication with the atmospheric pressure "P a " when the control rod 38 is actuated.
- the operation of the three-way valve 50 being known from the state of the art, it will not be described more explicitly in the present description.
- a feeler 52 which is slidably mounted on the front end of the plunger 46 which is opposite to the housing 44, is slidably mounted inside a bore 54 of the movable piston 22 which opens facing the cup reaction 30.
- the feeler 52 is capable of being urged by the plunger 46 to in turn urge the reaction disc 32 and compress it, which thus makes it possible to transmit to the plunger 46 and, in so doing, to the control rod 38, the reaction force of the master cylinder re 36.
- the reaction disc 32 transmits the reaction of the master cylinder to the control rod 38 in all cases, both in an extreme position of extreme actuation end of travel of the control rod 38 only in a position for actuating the start of braking of the control rod 38.
- such a servomotor 10 comprises a device 56 for an unidirectional clutch formed by a tilting key 60 which makes it possible, when the plunger 46 returns, to block a socket 58 which is slidably mounted around the plunger 46 behind the feeler r 52, so that it immobilizes feeler r 52 in contact with the reaction disc 32, which allows me to maintain a maximum effort on the rear face of the movable piston 22 even if the driver would have partially released his effort .
- This design has the drawback of requiring the manufacture and adjustment of a socket 58 interposed between the feeler r 52 and the plunger r 46, which considerably increases the cost of manufacturing such a booster 1 0.
- the socket 58 being blocked by the key 60 during a rapid return of the plunger r 46 and during a slow return of the plunger 46, the blocking of the socket 58 has effect only during rapid return of the diver 46. As a result, part of the stroke return of the plunger 46 is used in pure loss to activate the release of the one-way clutch device 56.
- the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback by using a unidirectional clutch device 56 that is locked on a socket comprising an integrated feeler as soon as the plunger is actuated, and that i participates in blocking the feeler only when when the diver returns.
- a booster according to the invention has been shown according to various embodiments with reference to FIGS. 2a to 2e, 4a to 4th, 6a to 6th, 8a to 8th, and 10a to 10th.
- the unidirectional clutch device 56 comprises a key 60 of substantially annular wedging, which surrounds a dou ille 58, whose front end forms the feeler 52, and which is slidably mounted on r the diver r 46.
- the jamming key 60 is resiliently recalled by pressing on the casing of the actuator.
- a lower end 62 of the key 60 is, in the rest position of the piston 22, supported on a support element 64 of the casing of the booster 10.
- This support can be direct, as shown in Figures 2a, 4a, 6a, and 10a or indirect as shown in Figure 8a.
- the wedging key 60 is mounted axially with respect to the control piston with a determined clearance which will be described in more detail later with reference to each of the embodiments.
- the jamming key 60 is likely, when the input force is applied to the rod 38 and consequently to the plunger 46, to be driven by the control piston 22 to leave its support on the support element 64 of the casing of the servomotor and tilt around a generally transverse axis perpendicular to the axis A of the servomotor r 10 in order to get caught on the periphery of the socket 58, in particular so that when rapid return of the control rod 38 and of the plunger to a speed greater than or equal to the determined speed, the jamming key transmits the reaction from the braking master cylinder to the piston as soon as the determined clearance is absorbed .
- the probe 52 has come integrally with the socket 58.

- the wedging key 60 is mounted in a recess 66 which i passes vertically through the piston, and it has the shape of a substantially radial orientation plate which is crossed by the sleeve 60, the lower end 62 of the key wedge 60 protruding from the socket 58 opposite the support element 64 of the casing, the wedge key 60 being also resiliently recalled - directly or indirectly - against a rear wall of the recess 66.
- the rear section 53 of the socket 58 includes a pair of oblong slots 68, shown in Figures 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, which are oriented substantially along the axial direction and which are diametrically opposite.
- the plunger r has a transverse bore, coinciding with the oblong slots 68.
- the transverse bore of the plunger and the oblong slots 68 of the socket 58 are crossed by a transverse pin 70 which i protrudes transversely on either side of the socket ille 58 in particular for cooperating with the wedging key 60 in order to return it to the rest position in abutment on the support element of the actuator casing.
- FIGS 2a to 2e illustrate a first embodiment of the invention in which the wedging key 60 is recalled by means of a first spring 72 which i is interposed between the front face 74 of the recess 66 and l 'lower end 62 of the key.

- a second spring 76 is interposed between the rear face 78 of the recess 66 and the upper end 80 of the key 60 for wedging. More particularly, the upper end 80 of the wedging key 60 comprises a pin 82 for centering the second spring.

- the probe 52 requests the reaction plate 32.

- the probe 52 enters the reaction disc 32, thereby transmitting the reaction force of the master cylinder to the conductor.

As a result, it causes the key 60 to tilt, which then gets stuck on the periphery of the socket 58 as soon as the end bottom of the key 60 leaves the support element 64 of the casing of the booster, absorbing the clearance "J".
- the rod 38 is actuated in a rapid application return position, as shown in FIG. 2e, the key 60 remaining wedged on the periphery of the socket 58, the socket 58 and the feeler 52 first accompany the plunger on a return stroke equal to the clearance J, the feeler 52 always transmitting to the rod 38 the reaction of the master cylinder by means of the reaction plate 32.
- the key 60 which is still blocked on the sleeve 60, has run through ru in the opposite direction a distance equal to the clearance "J" according to which it is mounted in the body 22. At this moment, it again comes into contact with the body of the piston 22, and it thus blocks the socket 58 and the probe 52, which makes it possible to maintain the application of a maximum braking force to the master cylinder.

- FIGS. 8a to 8e and 9 illustrate a fourth embodiment of the invention in which the wedging key 60 is recalled by means of a single spring 100 which is interposed between the front face 74 of the recess 66 and the lower end 62 of the key.
- this first spring 1 00 is of axial orientation.
- the actuator r 10 includes an additional trigger key 102 which is mounted behind the key 60 for wedging in the recess 66.
- the additional key 102 for triggering has the form of a substantially radial orientation plate which is traversed by the socket 58, the lower end 1 04 of which protrudes from the socket 58 and is interposed between the lower end 62 of the wedging key 60 and the element 64 for supporting the envelope.
- An upper end 106 of the additional trigger key 102 is coupled by means of an elastic coupling device 108 to the upper end 80 of the wedging key 60.
- the elastic coupling device 108 comprises a jumper 1 10 which encloses the upper end 80 of the wedging key 60 and of which a lug 1 12 extending towards the rear crosses the upper end 106 of the key 1 02 trigger and carries a spring 1 14 interposed between the jumper 1 1 0 and the upper end 106 of the key 102 trigger.
- the determined clearance "J" is arranged between the rear end of the jumper 110 and the outer end 106 of the release key 102, and it corresponds substantially to the compression stroke of the spring 114.
- the pin 70 is arranged between the key 60 for jamming and the key 102 for triggering, so as to allow the recall of the key 60 for wedging by means of the key 102 for triggering. From the rest position shown in Figure 8a, the rod 38 can be actuated in a slow application position, shown in Figure 8b.
- the rod 38 is actuated slowly enough for the piston 22 to move at substantially the same speed as the plunger 46 secured to the rod.
- the plunger 46 and the socket 58 comprising the feeler 52 move with a stroke less than the clearance "J" determined arranged between the jumper 1 10 and the upper end 106 of the key 102 trigger.
- the probe 52 urges the reaction disc 32.
- the key 60 remains stuck on the periphery of the socket 58 as long as the lower end 104 of the trigger key 102 n 'is not returned again in contact with the support element i 64 of the actuator.
- the socket 58 accompanies the plunger 46 in its return movement.
- the rod 38 can be actuated in a quick application position, shown in Figure 8d.
- the rod 38 is actuated at a speed faster than the speed of movement of the piston 22, due to the delay in balancing the pressure in the rear chamber of the booster.
- Diver 46 and Dou ille 58 comprising the probe 52 move with a stroke greater than the clearance "J" arranged between the jumper 1 10 and the upper end 106 of the key 102 trigger.
- the probe 52 enters the reaction disc 32, thereby transmitting the reaction force of the master cylinder to the conductor.
- the piston 22 moves with a delay relative to the displacement of the plunger 46 and drives the trigger key 102. As a result, it causes the key 60 to tilt, which then gets stuck on the periphery of the socket 58 as soon as the game "J" is absorbed.
- the plunger 46 for resumes its retouching stroke but is no longer accompanied by the socket 58 and by the probe 52. This configuration lasts as long as the plunger has not traversed in the opposite direction the remaining part of its initial stroke, ie a distance equal to the difference of its initial stroke and the clearance "J".
- FIGS 10a to 10e and 1 1 illustrate a fifth embodiment of the invention in which the piston 22 is made in two parts and comprises a body 1 16 inside which is slidably mounted and returned to the rear a cartridge 1 18 cylindrical.
- the cartridge 1 18 is mounted in a bore 121 of the body 1 16 of the piston, which bore is closed at its front end by a plug 123.
- the cartridge 1 18 is biased elastically towards the rear by a spring 1 19 which is supported on the stopper 123.
- the stopper 123 is for example screwed on the body 1 1 6 of the piston 22.
- the cartridge 1 18 slidably receives the socket 58, which is biased elastically backwards in the cartridge 1 18 via spring 47.
- the body 1 16 and the cartridge 1 18 are each perforated to form the recess 66 receiving the key 60 whose lower end re 62 protrudes from the body 1 16 opposite the support element 64 of the envelope .
- a first spring 120 is interposed in the cartridge between the front face of the recess 66 and the upper end 80 of the wedging key 60, and an additional plate-shaped trigger key 122 is mounted in jumper on the cartridge 1 18, simultaneously pressing on the rear of the upper end 80 of the key 60 wedging.
- the additional trigger key 122 is recalled elastically towards the front with respect to the body 116 of the piston by means of a second spring 124.
- the pin 70 is arranged in front of the wedging key 60.
- the determined clearance corresponds to the stroke of the cartridge 1 18 in the body 1 1 6 of the piston 22.
- the rod 38 can be actuated in a slow application position, shown in Figure 10b.
- the rod 38 is actuated slowly enough for the piston 22 to move at substantially the same speed as the plunger r 46 secured to the rod.
- the plunger 46 and the socket 58 comprising the feeler 52 move with a stroke less than the sliding stroke of the cartridge 1 18 in the body 1 16 of the piston 22.
- the feeler 52 urges the reaction disc 32.
- the key 60 When the rod 38 is actuated in a slow application return position, shown in FIG. 10c, the key 60 remains wedged on the periphery of the socket 58 as long as the lower end 62 of the trigger key 60 does not is not returned again in contact with the support element i 64 of the actuator.
- the socket 58 accompanies the plunger 46 in its return movement.
- the rod 38 is capable of being actuated in a position of rapid application, shown in Figure 10d.
- the rod 38 is actuated at a speed faster than the speed of movement of the piston 22, due to the delay in balancing the pressure in the rear chamber of the booster.
- the plunger 46 and the socket 58 comprising the feeler 52 move with a stroke greater than the clearance "J" arranged between the cartridge 1 16 and the body 1 18 of the piston 22.
- the feeler 52 penetrates into the reaction disc 32, thus transmitting to the driver the reaction force of the master cylinder ind re.
- the piston 22 moves with a delay relative to the movement of the plunger r 46 and drives the trigger key 1 22. As a result, it causes the key 60 to tilt, which is then wedges on the periphery of the socket 58 as soon as the clearance "J" is absorbed.
- the invention therefore advantageously makes it possible to benefit from a maximum braking force in emergency braking situations, whatever the behavior of the driver after violent braking.
