The present application discloses a pressure switch which includes a tube structure, a pressure transmitting assembly, a microswitch, and corrugated sheets. The pressure transmitting assembly disposed inside the tube structure includes a guide rod with a piston, and a fluid chamber providing working pressure is defined between the piston and a fluid inlet. The microswitch is disposed at another end of the tube structure away from the fluid inlet and can be actuated by the guide rod. The corrugated sheets are fixed inside the tube structure and stacked on the piston structure so as to form a sealing and pressure transmitting interface for the pressure switch. Therefore, the pressure switch has good sealing property, good buffering capacity, and enhanced mechanical response rate with the corrugated sheets and is suitable for precision pressure measurement and control in an environment with high pressure and high frequency vibration.

A hydraulic brake system includes a body with cavities, a vacuum brake booster port, a first caliber port and a channel system defined therein. An accumulator is located in a first one of the cavities. A first proportional solenoid valve is located in a second one of the cavities. A traction control valve is located in a third one of the cavities. The channel system is connected to the accumulator, the first proportional solenoid valve and the traction control valve via the first, second and third cavities. The channel system is further connected to the vacuum brake booster port and the first caliber port. The vacuum brake booster port, the accumulator, the first proportional solenoid valve, the traction control valve and the channel system are used together to control brake fluid to exert a first baking force on the first caliber port.
