China type 120 brake valve ECP manifold
First Claim
1. A China Type 120 Brake Valve ECP Manifold, said ECP manifold comprising:
- (a) a manifold block configured for fluid communication with at least one source of fluid pressure for receiving and transmitting fluid pressure signals;
(b) a plurality of apertures formed through said manifold block from a face of a pipe bracket to a face of a service portion for allowing fluid communication directly through said manifold block;
(c) a means engageable with said pipe bracket at said face of said pipe bracket and a service portion at said face of said service portion for securing said manifold block intermediate said pipe bracket and said service portion;
(d) a first passageway (bp) disposed in said manifold block in fluid communication with a first one of said plurality of apertures at a first end and having a second end adjacent an upper face of said manifold block for allowing communication of fluid pressure therethrough;
(e) a second passageway (bc sp) disposed in said manifold block in fluid communication with said service portion at a first end adjacent said face of said service portion and having a second end adjacent an upper face of said manifold block for allowing communication of fluid pressure therethrough;
(f) a third passageway (res) disposed in said manifold block in fluid communication with a second one of said plurality of apertures at a first end and having a second end adjacent an upper face of said manifold block for allowing communication of fluid pressure therethrough;
(g) a fourth passageway (bc pb) disposed in said manifold block in fluid communication with said pipe bracket at a first end adjacent said face of said pipe bracket and fluidly connected to said second passageway and fluidly connected to said third passageway and having a predetermined plurality of fluid connections adjacent an upper face of said manifold block for allowing communication of fluid pressure therethrough;
(h) a control module engageable with said manifold block for controlling a predetermined plurality of valve means and for communicating with a car control device and for communicating with a predetermined plurality of fluid pressure sensing means having fluid communication with said at least one of said first, said second, said third, and said fourth passageways; and
(i) an exhaust passageway disposed in said manifold block in fluid communication with said fourth passageway for allowing fluid to exhaust to atmosphere.

Abstract
A China Type 120 Brake Valve ECP Manifold includes a manifold block in fluid communication with at least one source of fluid pressure for communicating fluid pressure signals. A plurality of apertures formed through such manifold block allows fluid communication therethrough. The manifold block is engageable intermediate a pipe bracket and a service portion. A first passageway in such manifold block has fluid communication with a first aperture at a first end and has a second end adjacent an upper face of the manifold block. A second passageway in such manifold block has fluid communication with such service portion at a first end and has a second end adjacent an upper face of the manifold block. A third passageway in such manifold block has fluid communication with a second aperture at a first end and has a second end adjacent an upper face of such manifold block. A fourth passageway in such manifold block has fluid communication with such pipe bracket at a first end, is fluidly connected to such second and such third passageways, and has fluid connections adjacent an upper face of such manifold block. A control module engageable with the manifold block controls a plurality of valve devices, communicates with a car control device and fluid pressure sensing devices having fluid communication with at least one of such first, second, third, and fourth passageways. An exhaust passageway in such manifold block fluidly communicates with the fourth passageway, allowing fluid to exhaust to atmosphere.
