Abstract
A chassis braking system for braking a chassis includes a braking unit including a braking surface biased toward a road surface on which the chassis runs and having a first state where movement of the braking surface toward the road surface is locked and a second state where the braking surface abuts against the road surface. A control unit releases the lock of the braking unit and shifts the braking unit from the first state to the second state when predetermined conditions are met.
Claims11
A chassis braking system for braking a chassis, comprising:
- a braking device comprising a lock and a braking surface biased toward a road surface on which said chassis runs and having a first state, where movement of said braking surface toward said road surface is locked by said lock, and a second state where said braking surface abuts against said road surface and
- a controller that releases said lock of said braking device and shifts said braking device from said first state to said second state when a predetermined condition is met.
A chassis braking system for braking a chassis, comprising:
- a braking device comprising a braking surface biased toward a road surface on which said chassis runs and having a first state, where movement of said braking surface toward said road surface is locked and a second state where said braking surface abuts against said road surface and
- a controller that releases said lock of said braking device and shifting said braking device from said first state to said second state when predetermined conditions are met wherein
- said braking device includes
- a first moving body and a second moving body biased in directions approaching each other and
- a movement mechanism that causes said braking surface to move toward said road surface as said first moving body and said second moving body approach each other,
- wherein, in said first state, movement of said first moving body and said second moving body to approach each other is locked.
A two-wheeled vehicle comprising
- a first wheel and a second wheel that rotate about shafts perpendicular to a running direction and arranged on a chassis along said perpendicular direction,
- a braking means comprising device including a lock and a braking surface biased toward a road surface on which said first wheel and said second wheel run and including a first state where movement of said braking surface toward said road surface is locked and a second state where said braking surface abuts against said road surface, and
- a controller that releases said lock of said braking device and shifts said braking device from said first state to said second state when a predetermined condition is met.
