The invention discloses a permanent magnet composite type brake chamber capable of improving brake hysteresis characteristics of a trailer and a control method of the brake chamber. The permanent magnet composite type brake chamber mainly comprises a service braking chamber, a service braking chamber push rod, a parking braking chamber, a permanent magnet ring A, a permanent magnet ring B, a parking braking piston, a parking braking chamber push rod and a connecting fork; an electronic control system comprises a brake pedal displacement sensor, a handle displacement sensor, an air pressure sensor A, an air pressure sensor B, a two-position three-way reversing valve, a two-position two-way reversing valve and a microprocessor, the microprocessor controls air pressure signals of the chambers according to a brake pedal displacement signal, a hand control valve handle position signal, a parking braking chamber inner air pressure signal and a servo quick release valve and controls the on-off state of respective electromagnetic valves of the two-position three-way reversing valve and the two-position two-way reversing valve. The trailer braking delay time can be shortened, the braking delaying characteristic of a trailer air braking system is improved, and the braking stability of a combination vehicle is improved.
