Disclosed is an anti-lock control apparatus for an air over hydraulic brake system having a first air pressure line leading from a brake valve to an air master cylinder as well as a second air pressure line branching from the first air pressure line and leading to a modulator. The second air pressure line is provided with an exhaust-side check value for exhausting air from a pneumatic chamber of the modulator and an air-supply side check valve for supplying air to the pneumatic chamber. The pneumatic chamber of the modulator and the second air pressure line are adapted to hold residual pressure, thereby increasing the rising gate of the braking hydraulic pressure during braking and the falling rate of the braking hydraulic pressure during release of braking, and reducing the amount of air consumed.
An anti-lock control apparatus for an air over hydraulic brake system wherein a brake valve is connected to an air pressure source, said brake valve is connected to a pneumatic chamber of an air master cylinder through a first air pressure line, a hydraulic chamber of said air master cylinder is connected to a liquid input port of a modulator, a valve device is interposed in a passage between said liquid input port of the modulator and a liquid output port thereof, said valve device is arranged such as to be capable of being opened by a hydraulic piston fitted in the modulator, a pneumatic piston is connected to said hydraulic piston, and said liquid output port of said modulator is communicated with a hydraulic chamber of said modulator and is connected to a wheel cylinder, a pneumatic chamber of said modulator is connected to the brake valve via a second air pressure line, and air pressure in said modulator pneumatic chamber is controlled by a first valve apparatus, said anti-lock control apparatus for an air over hydraulic brake system comprising:
