1 What is a car brake hose

Automobile brake hose, also known as brake pipe, is an integral part of automobile brake system. The main function of the brake hose is to transmit the brake medium when the car is braking, to ensure that the braking force is transmitted to the brake shoe or the brake caliper of the car to generate the braking force, so that the braking is effective at any time.

Brake hose classification: According to the different forms of automobile braking, it is divided into hydraulic brake hose, pneumatic brake hose and vacuum brake hose. According to different materials, it is divided into rubber brake hose and nylon brake hose.

Advantages and disadvantages of brake hoses: Rubber brake hoses have the advantages of strong tensile strength and easy installation, but the disadvantage is that the surface is easy to age after long-term use. Nylon brake hose has the advantages of anti-aging and corrosion resistance, but the disadvantage is that the tensile strength is weakened at low temperature, and it is easy to break when impacted by external force. Maintenance of brake hose: The brake hose is an important part to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle. Everyone who uses a car should pay special attention to the usual maintenance and inspection.

Usually you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Check the brake hose regularly to keep the surface of the brake hose clean to avoid corrosion.

2. Avoid pulling the brake hose by external force.

3. Always check whether the brake hose joint is loose and not tightly sealed.

4. Brake hoses that have been used for a long time, such as aging, poor sealing or scratches, should be replaced in time.

2 Can the soft brake of the car be adjusted?

The braking system is very important to the safety of the car. According to statistics, the main cause of more than 50% of serious traffic accidents is the braking system. Many friends who drive often reflect their brake softness, so can the car brake softness be adjusted? Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about this issue.

In fact, what we usually call soft and hard braking refers to the relationship between the strength of the foot braking and the actual speed of the vehicle braking. Soft braking refers to strong foot braking and slow deceleration, while hard braking refers to strong force and fast deceleration. The softness of the car brakes can be adjusted. If you don't want your brakes to become soft, change the brake fluid regularly. If the brake fluid is not replaced in time, it will contain too much mixing and moisture, which will affect the transmission of braking force. If conditions permit, the moisture content of the brake fluid should be tested at the repair shop. There is also a common situation: oil leakage from the brake master cylinder or brake hose will also cause the vehicle brakes to become soft. If the brake material is too soft, the high temperature stability will be worse, and the vehicle brakes will also become soft. So always pay attention to check this aspect. There is also a soft brake caused by personal reasons: many drivers like to tap the brakes with their toes, but in an emergency, they often cannot stop the car. This is because it is impossible to press the brake pedal to the bottom instantly with your toes on the brakes. In order to drive safely, you must use force from the toes to the soles of your feet when you step on them.
