Currently on the market application of the ground brake are all spring compression type, that is, between the pedal and the pressure plate compression spring, when the pedal is pressed to the end by the self-locking mechanism locking, at this time, the pressure plate can also be moved downward 4-10 millimeters, the pressure on the ground is ensured by the spring. There are two defects in this kind of ground brake: First, it can only be used in indoor or flat ground environment, if the mobile equipment needs to be parked outdoors, the ground is more than 10 millimeters low will not be able to park the car. The second is that the mobile equipment will be jacked up when unloaded, so it is also called elevator, which has a certain impact on the stability of the parking.
