ABSTRACT:
The modulator of an antiskid device for air brakes mounted in a pressurized air line connecting a brake valve to brake actuators comprises a first valve which can move between an open position in which it allows pressurized air from the brake valve to pass freely therethrough and a throttling position in which it allows the pressurized air to pass therethrough in a reduced quantity, a second valve connected in series with the first valve and capable of moving between an open position in which it allows the pressurized air from the first valve to pass freely therethrough and a discharge position in which it permits pressurized air from the brake actuators to be discharged therethrough, a first air operating means for operating the first valve and a second air operating means for operating the second valve. The antiskid device comprises a signal producing means which first produces a throttling electric signal for actuating the first air operating means and moving the first valve to its throttling position before the braking pressure of the brake actuators reaches a pressure increase target value and then produces a pressure reducing electric signal for actuating the second air operating means and moving the second valve to its discharge position when the braking pressure has reached the target value so as to thereby maintain the slip rate at an optimum level of 0.2 or thereabout by changing the speed of the wheels. By this arrangement, an increase in the braking pressure applied by the brake actuators can be reduced in speed about the time the braking pressure reaches the target value so as to thereby avoid an excessive rise in the braking pressure above the target value which would otherwise occur due to a time lag of the initiation of a reduction in the braking pressure applied by the brake actuators behind the production of a pressure reducing electric signal. The time lag can be reduced by utilizing the force of air for actuating the first and second valves.
