Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic control brake system capable of ensuing pedal force upon regenerative braking or brake-by-wire control. The electronic control brake system having a simulation function includes a master cylinder for forming oil pressure corresponding to displacement of a brake pedal, an oil tank for providing oil to the master cylinder, a cut-off valve installed on a hydraulic supply pipe that connects an inlet of the master cylinder with an inlet valve of a hydraulic brake, an oil return pipe for connecting an outlet valve of the hydraulic brake with an inlet of the oil tank, and a simulation valve installed on a differential adjusting pipe, which connects the hydraulic supply pipe with the oil return pipe, to generate pedal force.
Abstract:
A braking system for a vehicle, which can prevent an alteration in brake pedal toe force when a brake hydraulic pressure is increased or decreased based on a regenerative braking force obtained by a drive motor in an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle, and a braking method thereof. To prevent an alteration in brake pedal toe force, the vehicle braking system includes a brake reservoir to receive brake oil therein, a normal close type valve to connect the brake reservoir to an inlet of a pump generating a hydraulic pressure in a brake line, a drive motor serving as a generator, the drive motor being adapted to convert a kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy to brake the vehicle by regenerative braking, and a control unit to recognize the amount of regenerative braking obtained by the drive motor and the amount of braking desired by a vehicle operator and to control the normal close type valve, so as to compensate for a brake hydraulic pressure corresponding to a difference between the regenerative braking amount and the desired braking amount by use of the brake oil in the reservoir.
Abstract:
A torque sensor including a first step formed on an inner peripheral surface of a sensor housing, a second step formed on an outer peripheral surface of a detection coil assembly, the first and second steps axially supporting each other, and a groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the detection coil assembly at a position adjacent to the second step such that the groove faces an inner surface portion of the first step, so that the first step penetrates the groove while being plastically deformed when the detection coil assembly is pressed toward the first step, thereby causing the detection coil assembly to be fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the sensor housing. Since the detection coil assembly is fixed in the sensor housing through the structural modification of the sensor housing and detection coil assembly, without using a separate fixing member, it is possible to effectively achieve the fixing of the detection coil assembly, and thus, to reduce the number of elements in the torque sensor.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a solenoid valve having a valve seat assembly manufactured as a single body such that the valve seat assembly is simply fitted in a valve housing. The valve seat assembly comprises a valve seat, a filter, and a sealing plate. The valve seat assembly is disposed at one end of a housing. The valve seat comprises a first orifice formed such that the first orifice is opened and closed as a plunger is moved forward and backward, and a second orifice formed such that the second orifice is arranged in parallel with the first orifice. The sealing plate is provided at the center thereof with a through-hole, which communicates with the first orifice of the valve seat. The sealing plate is disposed in the valve seat such that the sealing plate is not separated from the valve seat by means of the filter. The sealing plate is moved toward the first orifice by the pressure of a fluid close the second orifice. In this way, the sealing plate serves as a check valve.

A pump of an electronic brake system, in which an inlet valve has an improved structure so that the inlet valve is efficiently and stably opened. The inlet valve includes a valve sheet formed at the end of a piston, a switch member mounted on the valve sheet, an elastic member for applying elastic force for pushing the switch member toward the valve sheet, and a retainer for receiving the switch member and the elastic member, and a sheet contact portion of the switch member contacting the valve sheet has a planar surface. A protrusion extended toward the valve sheet is formed along the edge of the sheet contact portion so that the sheet contact portion linearly contacts the valve sheet. The switch member is made of plastic. The valve sheet having a disk shape, which the sheet contact portion contacts, is formed integrally with the piston.
