MANIFOLD BLOCK FOR VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
A manifold block of vehicle braking system and vehicle are provided. The manifold block of the vehicle braking system comprises a hydraulic unit body, a solenoid valve mounting hole for mounting a solenoid valve, a sensor mounting hole for mounting a liquid pressure sensor and a simulator accommodation part for installing the pedal simulator. The hydraulic unit body is provided with a solenoid valve mounting face. The solenoid valve mounting hole, the sensor mounting hole and the simulator accommodation part are all arranged on the solenoid valve mounting face.
VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM
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.
METHOD FOR OPERATING A HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CONTROL UNIT AND BRAKING SYSTEM
The disclosure relates to a method for operating a hydraulic braking system for a motor vehicle with an electrified drive train. The braking system comprises a brake booster. First, a braking request is registered and it is determined that the braking request is to be met by pure recuperative braking. In addition, an input member of the brake booster is shifted in the direction of a pressure generation unit so that it assumes an actuation position corresponding to the braking request. From here, the input member is then shifted back from the actuation position in a direction away from the pressure generation unit for hydraulic pressure relief. A control unit designed to carry out such a method is also disclosed. A braking system comprising such a control unit is also presented.
Electronic brake system and method for operating the same
An electronic brake system and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The electronic brake system includes an integrated master cylinder, a hydraulic-pressure supply device, and a hydraulic control unit. The integrated master cylinder allows a pressing medium to be discharged based on displacement of a brake pedal and at the same time provides proper pedal feel for the user. The hydraulic control unit controls hydraulic pressure of a pressing medium supplied to respective wheel cylinders. The electronic brake system operates in different ways according to a normal operation mode and an abnormal operation mode.
Apparatus and method for performing rear-wheel regenerative braking control of ESC integrated regenerative braking system
Provided are an apparatus and method for performing rear-wheel regenerative braking control of an ESC integrated regenerative braking system. The apparatus includes: a pedal cylinder unit connected with a reserve unit in which oil is stored and configured to generate an oil pressure as a brake pedal is pressed; a motor driven by an electric signal that is output in response to displacement of the brake pedal; a master cylinder unit connected with the pedal cylinder unit; a control unit configured to perform reverse pressure control on the motor as much as a variation in a rear-wheel regenerative braking force if transition of the rear-wheel regenerative braking force occurs, and perform drive pressure control on the motor if the transition of the rear-wheel regenerative braking force is completed; and oil pressure relief valves provided on oil pressure lines that connect from the reserve unit to wheel cylinders.
SOLENOID VALVE FOR A SLIP-CONTROLLED MOTOR-VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM
A solenoid valve has a valve plunger which is guided in a passage bore of a valve housing. The valve plunger with its valve closing element is held in a basic position by a restoring spring. The basic position opens up a valve passage in a valve seat. The valve plunger is arranged between an inlet and an outlet channel in the valve housing. A magnet armature provides actuation of the valve plunger. An inlet chamber is connected to the inlet channel between the passage bore and the valve seat. The valve plunger protrudes into the inlet chamber by way of a step section. As a result of being hydraulically impinged on by the pressure medium of the inlet channel an axial force is generated on the valve plunger that acts oppositely to the closing direction of the valve plunger.
BRAKE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE BALANCED PSU PISTON
An electro-hydraulic brake system includes a master cylinder (MC) fluidly coupled to an MC fluid passageway and configured to supply fluid into the MC fluid passageway in response to pressing force on a brake pedal. A pressure supply unit (PSU) includes an electric motor and a PSU piston disposed within a piston bore, the PSU piston is movable through the piston bore by the electric motor and divides the piston bore into a first chamber and a second chamber. A pedal feel emulator (PFE) includes a PFE piston movable through a PFE bore and separating an upper chamber from a lower chamber. Fluid is conveyed from the lower chamber of the PFE to the second chamber of the PSU in response to a compression of the PFE. The MC fluid passageway provides a fluid path from the master cylinder into the upper chamber of the PFE.
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CLAMPING FORCE THEREOF
An electronic parking brake system includes an electronic parking brake (EPB) including a pair of brake pads disposed on both sides of a brake disc rotating with a rear wheel of a vehicle, a piston provided to press the pair of brake pads, a nut member provided to press the piston, a spindle member provided to move the nut member, and an electric motor configured to rotate the spindle member; a wheel speed sensor configured to detect a wheel speed of the rear wheel; a G sensor configured to detect a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle; an accelerator pedal sensor configured to detect an operation of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle; an EPB switch configured to receive a parking apply command or a parking release command from a driver; and a controller configured to control the electric motor, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether a residual clamping force is present in the EPB based on a rear wheel speed or the longitudinal acceleration at a time of departure of the vehicle after parking is released, and when the residual clamping force is present, release the residual clamping force through an additional parking release control.
Electric brake system and operating method thereof
Provided are an electronic brake system and a method of operating the same, capable of performing a normal operation mode and an abnormal operation mode by including an integrated master cylinder configured to discharge a pressurizing medium according to a displacement of a brake pedal while providing a driver with a pedal fee, a liquid pressure supply device configured to generate a liquid pressure by operating a hydraulic piston according to an electrical being output on the basis of the displacement of the brake pedal, and a hydraulic control unit configured to a liquid pressure of a pressurizing medium to be supplied to each wheel cylinder.
