The present disclosure relates to an electronic brake system and an operation method thereof. The electronic brake system prepares various valves provided on flow paths, that connect components and a reservoir, in a closed state, and then switches the various valves to an open state after a hydraulic pressure of a pressure medium is formed by a hydraulic supply device.

A pressure supply unit for a brake system including a booster body that defines an axially extending cylinder. A piston is slideable within the cylinder. The piston defines a bore that receives a spindle. The spindle is rotationally fixed and axially moveable for providing the axial movement of the piston. A motor is positioned about the spindle and is configured to axially translate the spindle and piston. A ball and socket joint connects the piston and spindle while accommodating pivoting movement of the spindle. The ball and socket joint includes a ball at a front end of the spindle and a socket in the bore of the piston which receives the ball.

A piston actuation device for the supply of a pressure medium in a pressure medium circuit of a brake system of a motor vehicle. A piston actuation device includes a piston actuable by a spindle drive to execute a back-and-forth translation movement in the direction of a piston guidance axis. The spindle drive has a spindle nut and a spindle that cooperates with the spindle nut via a screw drive. The screw drive converts a rotation movement of the spindle nut into a translation movement of the spindle in the direction of a spindle movement axis. To transmit the translation movement to the piston, the piston and the spindle are connected to each other in an axially fixed manner. The axially fixed connection between the piston and the spindle includes an articulated joint, which allows for a concentricity deviation between the piston guidance axis and the spindle movement axis.

This braking control device pumps a brake fluid from a reservoir to each wheel cylinder by one fluid pump and includes an electric motor which drives the fluid pump; and a controller which controls the electric motor. The controller calculates a target fluid pressure on the basis of at least one among the vehicle wheel speed, the vehicle deceleration state, and the turning state of the vehicle, calculates a target discharge amount for the fluid pump on the basis of the target fluid pressure, and controls the electric motor on the basis of the target discharge amount. The controller has a front wheel calculation map of the relationship between the fluid pressure and the inflow volume of the brake fluid corresponding to a front wheel cylinder, and a rear wheel calculation map corresponding to a rear wheel cylinder, and calculates the target discharge amount on the basis of the maps.

A device for an automatic parking brake includes a first microchip and a second microchip. The first microchip and the second microchip are configured to actuate an end stage of the automatic parking brake. The first microchip and the second microchip are configured in a redundant manner with respect to one another in relation to actuating the end stage.

A supported spindle for a device equipped with a spindle nut. The supported spindle includes a spindle body extending along its center longitudinal axis, a support plate, which is welded onto the spindle body in such a way that a weld seam formed between the spindle body and the support plate extends around the center longitudinal axis of the spindle body, and a ring element framing a section of the center longitudinal axis of the spindle body, which contacts the support plate on at least one first contact surface of the ring element and contacts the spindle body on at least one second contact surface of the ring element in such a way that the ring element is clamped between the support plate and the spindle body.

A power piston in a power cylinder borehole of a hydraulic block of a hydraulic power unit of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system is only guided radially in an axially delimited guide section. The power cylinder borehole is configured with a larger diameter axially outside the guide section. A brake fluid channel extends through the guide section up to an opening of a brake fluid line.

A vehicle braking system includes a master cylinder. In a delivery line of the master cylinder there is a pressure transfer device, which generates a pressure in a hydraulic actuating line of a respective brake device following a fluid pressure communicated to a first inlet of the pressure transfer device from the delivery line and/or following a fluid pressure supplied to a second inlet of the pressure transfer device from an electrically-operated fluid pressure source. An electronic controller controls an enabling/disabling solenoid valve, and the electrically-operated fluid pressure source to create different operating modes of the system. The system does not include any vacuum-operated servo-assisting devices. The master cylinder is associated with a hydraulic device for adjusting the feeling on the brake pedal, in which a fluid pressure is generated that opposes the brake pedal actuation. The electronic controller controls the pressure in the device for adjustment of the feeling on the pedal.

According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an electronic braking system comprising: a main master cylinder including a main body, a main piston that is accommodated to be movable in the main body, a main chamber that is defined in the main body and connected with at least one wheel brake, a motor that generates a rotation force, and a power conversion unit that has one side connected with the motor and another side connected with the main piston, and converts a rotational motion of the motor into a straight motion, the main master cylinder being configured to generate hydraulic pressure by movement of the main piston; a motor position sensor disposed to sense a rotation distance of the motor; and a braking controller configured to perform control to move the main piston to a preset initial position by calculating displacement of the main piston based on the rotation distance of the motor and adjusting an amount of a current that is supplied to the motor.

An automatic brake control apparatus for a vehicle is configured to control a brake device of the vehicle in a control of a driving assist system of the vehicle. The automatic brake control apparatus includes electronic control units. The electronic control units include a first electronic control unit and are communicably coupled to each other and configured to exchange data with each other. The first electronic control unit is configured to control the driving assist system. The first electronic control unit is configured to send, to one or more of the electronic control units, an instruction that controls the brake device and that includes a first instruction for controlling a behavior of the vehicle and a second instruction that has an instruction content different from an instruction content of the first instruction.
