ABSTRACT:
The servo automodulator is intended for connection to the brake system of the tractor vehicle through a power pipeline, called the automatic pipeline, and a control pipeline called the variable pipeline. This device comprises a body with first and second inlet connectors for connection to the variable pipeline and to the automatic pipeline respectively, an inlet/outlet connector and an outlet connector for connection to a pressure reservoir and to the brake members of the trailer. A non-return valve allows air to flow from the second inlet connector to the inlet/outlet connector to supply compressed air to the reservoir. The body houses a valve system for putting the inlet/outlet connector in communication with the outlet connector when the first inlet connector is supplied with a brake-actuation pressure, and a brake-pressure modulator device which controls the opening of the valve assembly, and hence the brake pressure, in dependence on the load bearing on the trailer. The body also houses a distributor control member which assumes a normal working position, in which it allows communication between the first inlet connector and a control chamber of the brake pressure modulator when the second inlet connector is supplied with pressurized air. The distributor member can move to an emergency position, in which it cuts off communication between the first inlet connector and the said chamber and in which it puts this chamber in communication with the inlet/outlet connector, when the pressure upstream of the non-return valve falls below a predetermined value, for example as a result of rupture of the automatic pipeline.
