What is the difference between an electronic car handbrake and a cable handbrake?

As we all know, the handbrake is commonly used when parking, the traditional handbrake is the most common, in addition, there are foot brakes and electronic handbrakes, today I will tell you about the difference between them.

1. Traditional handbrake.

Let's talk about the traditional handbrake first, the mechanical handbrake is the parking brake that we will see on most models, and the handbrake is generally located in the driver's right hand drooping position, which is convenient to use.

Its function is to stabilize the vehicle after the vehicle is parked to avoid accidents caused by rolling on the slope road or when parking. Men generally like to play control, so the traditional handbrake is very popular with male compatriots!

The traditional handbrake sounds very traditional, but it is actually very tall, for example, the handbrake of some models is designed according to the aircraft operating lever.

2. Electronic parking.

As soon as we look at the name, we can know that electronic parking is more advanced! Advanced belongs to advanced, its working principle is no different from the traditional handbrake, it is through the friction generated by the brake disc and the brake pads to achieve the control of the parking brake.

The difference is that the electronic parking uses the button to operate the handbrake function!

The biggest advantage of electronic parking brake is that it is beautiful, convenient and space-saving, but its maintenance and replacement are inconvenient. It is not welcomed by people who value the driving experience.

3. Foot brake. Foot-operated parking brake, as the name suggests, is a foot-operated parking brake, which we usually call "foot brake", which is generally seen in automatic transmission models. In fact, it is also a kind of handbrake, but in a different way.

This is a good fit for many female drivers with little hands, and the foot brake is very suitable for them.

But also pay attention not to pedal too hard, and not too long, otherwise it will cause the brake cable to break. It is more common to appear on the B-segment models.

All in all, all three brakes are reliable. The specific use varies from person to person! The foot brake is suitable for female drivers or male compatriots with small hand strength, and those who attach importance to the driving experience prefer the traditional handbrake, and the electronic handbrake is the most convenient.

The main difference between the automotive electronic handbrake and the traditional cable-pull handbrake is the difference in the actuator. The cable-pull handbrake is achieved by using the example sentences of the hand, while the electronic handbrake is driven by the motor to push the brake pads.

Electronic parking brakeThe two wires are positive and negative. The electronic parking brake is also known as the electronic parking brake system.

Electronic parking brake system EPBELECTRICALPARKBRAKE refers to the driving process, the temporary braking hole and the disturbance after parking long-term braking function, can be integrated together and by the electronic control mode to achieve parking brake technology, EPB system by electronic button manual operation, and has automatic control function.

How the electronic parking brake works

The electronic parking brake system is composed of the left and right rear brake calipers and the electronic control unit equipped with a planetary deceleration mechanism and a motor, and the electronic control unit of the system communicates with the vehicle controller LAN to control the motor on the left and right rear calipers.

When the parking brake is required, the EPB button is pressed, and the button operation signal is fed back to the electronic control unit, and the electric control unit controls the motor and the planetary reduction gear Lu Li Ku mechanism to work, and brakes the left and right rear brake calipers.

There are two kinds of commonly used automatic control functions, one is that after the engine is turned off, the system controls the motor jointly with the electronic control unit of the system through the vehicle CAN, brakes the left and right rear brake calipers, and the other is the slope to drive away, when the vehicle starts on the slope, the EPB electronic control unit controls the left and right rear wheel brake calipers, so that it automatically releases the vehicle and drives away automatically.

Electronic parking brakes are related to brakes.

Electronic parking brake is a technology that realizes parking brake by electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, which is to control the parking brake through the friction generated by the brake disc and the orange brake pad of the stool, but the control mode has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

Compared with the traditional manual mechanical parking brake system, the electronic parking brake system has the following advantages: the parking brake handle is canceled in the cabin, which provides more room for the design of the vehicle interior modeling. The parking brake replaces the driver's hard pull on the parking brake handle by a button, which is simple and labor-saving, and reduces the operating intensity of the driver, especially the female driver.

With the continuous development of automotive electronic parking control technology, the system can not only realize basic functions such as static parking, static release (off), automatic release (off), etc., but also add auxiliary functions such as automatic parking and dynamic parking.

For example, the Auto Hold automatic parking button installed on Volkswagen models can accomplish the above functions, because it intervenes dynamic stability control into the electronic parking brake system, making driving safer and more convenient.

First, the control mode is different.

Electronic Parking Brake: The electronic parking brake is controlled by an electronic button.

Normal handbrake: The ordinary handbrake is a parking brake controlled by a mechanical handbrake lever.

Second, the maintenance cost is different.

Electronic Parking Brake: The electronic parking brake is controlled by an electronic control system, which has a high maintenance cost.

Ordinary handbrake: The structure of ordinary handbrake is simple and the maintenance cost is low.

Third, the operation is different.

Electronic Parking Brake: The electronic parking brake can control the parking start and leak brake with just a button.

Normal handbrake: The ordinary handbrake needs to pull the parking brake handle to control the parking brake.

Encyclopedia - The hand quietly imitates the bad brake.

Electronic parking brake is a technology that realizes parking brake by electronic control. The manual handbrake is the parking brake controlled by the mechanical handbrake lever. The electronic parking brake controls the parking brake at the touch of a button.

The manual handbrake requires the parking brake lever to be pulled to control the parking brake. Both handbrakes work on the same principle, both control the parking brake through the friction generated by the brake disc and the brake pads.

The electronic parking brake has an automatic release function, which can well avoid the situation of starting with the handbrake. At present, most cars basically have electronic handbrakes, so you don't have to worry about the safety of electronic handbrakes, but mechanical handbrakes are very easy to loosen or fail to brake after long-term use.

After the electronic handbrake is installed, some other functions can also be added, such as automatic parking, and the mechanical handbrake cannot add this function. Automatic parking greatly reduces the frequency with which the driver pulls the handbrake. After the car stops, the system will automatically help us pull the handbrake, and it can be automatically released when the gas pedal is refueled, which is very smart.

Some novices often forget to let go of the handbrake when driving, and if it is a mechanical handbrake, the handbrake pads will be severely worn or even damaged. And even if the electronic handbrake forgets to release the handbrake, most cars will automatically release it when the gas pedal is filled. If the car can't be released automatically, it can't be driven away, the electronic parking brake brakes very tightly, and the rear wheels won't rotate.

The electronic parking brake is also called the electronic parking brake system. Electronic parking brake (EPB) is a technology that integrates temporary braking during driving and long-term braking after parking, and realizes parking brake through electronic control. The working principle of the electronic parking brake is to control the parking brake by using the friction between the brake disc and the brake pads through the control of electronic buttons.

Electronic brakes are similar to traditional mechanical brakes. The only difference is that in the control mechanism, one side is mechanical, and the other side is completely controlled by the electrical system to ensure that the driver does not forget to pull or release the handbrake. Electric brakes use the motor to brake and release the brakes via the "P" symbol at the gear lever position.
