Abstract:
A brake control device for a vehicle which can prevent occurrence of hunting or stepping during braking control operation and includes a pressure increasing or decreasing characteristic selecting portion which selects a pressure increasing characteristic when a target wheel cylinder pressure increases continuously for a predetermined operation judgment period and selects a pressure decreasing characteristic when the target wheel cylinder pressure decreases continuously for a predetermined operation judgment period. The brake control device further includes an output servo pressure setting portion which sets a target servo pressure based on the pressure increasing or decreasing characteristic selected by the pressure increasing or decreasing characteristic selecting portion and a servo pressure generating device which generates a servo pressure based on the target servo pressure.
Abstract:
Provided are a compact, highly reliable electric parking brake driving device and an electric parking brake device. This electric parking brake driving device transmits a driving force generated by an electric motor to a parking brake actuator via a speed reduction mechanism, and makes the wheels generate a braking force. A gear body of the electric parking brake driving device is formed by joining a lower body and an upper body. A bracket member is fixed to the lower body, and the electric motor is positioned in the radial direction by engaging with the bracket member. A rubber disk is placed between the lower end surface of the electric motor and the bottom surface of the lower body, and the rubber disk impels the electric motor toward the bracket member in the direction of the rotation axis.
Abstract:
A braking device for a vehicle includes an operating characteristics setting portion for setting an operating characteristic which is a relationship between the input electric power to the electro-magnetic valve and a pressure difference between a master cylinder side and a wheel cylinder side with respect to the electro-magnetic valve, based on the input electric power at the time when the accumulator pressure detected by the accumulator pressure detecting portion first falls to a value equal to or less than a threshold value accumulator pressure by changing the input electric power towards an opening side of the electro-magnetic valve in response to a time lapsed after a predetermined value of the pilot pressure has been generated by the pilot pressure generating portion by first closing the electro-magnetic valve thereby to suppress the manufacturing cost.
Abstract:
The vehicle braking control device adapted to a vehicle brake device having an electromagnetic valve which controls the brake fluid flow between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders in response to the input electric energy. The vehicle braking control device includes a valve opening electric energy obtaining portion which obtains an input electric energy upon opening of the electromagnetic valve as a valve opening electric energy and an operation characteristic setting portion which sets an operation characteristic based on the valve opening electric energy obtained corresponding to the predetermined pressure differential. The opening valve electric energy obtaining portion changes the input electric energy at a valve closing side or a valve opening side with a change amount per unit of time larger than before valve opening in response to an obtaining of the valve opening electric energy.
Abstract:
A diaphragm device comprising: a supporting member; a flexible membrane that is supported by the supporting member; and a housing that accommodates the flexible membrane and the supporting member, and wherein the flexible membrane air-tightly separates a first chamber and a second chamber connected to the outside through a through-hole formed in a membrane supporting portion of the supporting member, inside the housing, wherein an avoidance recessed portion to avoid interference with an opening edge of the through-hole is formed at a position corresponding to the through-hole in the flexible membrane, wherein the avoidance recessed portion is provided at a thick portion thicker than the other portion of the flexible membrane, and the thick portion protrudes toward the first chamber.
Abstract:
A pad pressing spring which is mounted on a pad of a disc brake by causing a pinching portion to pinch a pad back plate is configured as follows. An elastic arm which presses the pad in a disc rotor normal-rotating direction continuously extends from a base end side of the pinching portion, and the elastic arm has a configuration in which, when a load exceeding a predetermined value is applied in a direction opposite to a direction in which a pad is pressed, a tip end side of the elastic arm comes into contact with a lateral surface of the pad back plate or the pinching portion, and thus a spring constant of the pad pressing spring increases compared to a spring constant in a state where a load exceeding the predetermined value is not applied.

Abstract:
A vehicle brake controller is capable of executing limit control when a driver is performing a brake pedal operation during turning of a vehicle, to limit an increase in a braking force applied to an inner wheel that is a wheel positioned on the inner side of the turn. The vehicle brake controller is configured to start the limit control when a wheel state value that becomes greater as deceleration of the inner wheel becomes greater exceeds a start determination value that is set to a value greater than zero.
Abstract:
In a check valve in which a valve part is disposed in a valve part accommodating recess movably relative to a piston part, among the valve part accommodating recess, an anti-valve seat side accommodation space formed between a surface of the valve part accommodating recess in an anti-valve seat side of the valve part and a wall surface of the valve part accommodating recess are communicated to exit side fluid passages.
Abstract:
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry calculates a target torque such that the greater the amount of brake operation is, the smaller the target torque becomes. The processing circuitry controls the drive motor such that the creep torque is smaller when brake operation is being performed by the driver than when the brake operation is not being performed by the driver. The control circuitry controls the brake device such that, when the brake operation is being performed by the driver, the brake torque approaches a target brake torque. The processing circuitry sets a decrease gradient of the creep torque to be smaller than a decrease gradient of the target torque when the brake operation amount is increased under a condition in which the creep torque is being output by the drive motor.
