摘要:
A brake control apparatus is provided with a simulator for applying a biasing force to a manually operated braking member of a vehicle in response to braking operation. A sensor detects conditions of the vehicle including a braking condition of the vehicle. A first biasing device applies a first biasing force to the manually operated braking member in response to braking operation, and a second biasing device applies a second biasing force, as well. Only one of the first and second biasing devices applies the biasing force to the manually operated braking member when a predetermined condition is detected by the sensor, while both of the first and second biasing devices apply the biasing forces in the normal braking operation. The second biasing device may include a cylinder having a bore defined therein, and a piston slidably received in the bore to define a chamber filled with brake fluid, an elastic member for biasing the piston to expand the chamber, and a reservoir communicated with the chamber of the cylinder for storing the brake fluid drained from the cylinder, and controlled by a controller in response to outputs of the sensor.

A vehicle brake apparatus includes a brake pedal, a wheel brake cylinder operatively mounted on a wheel for applying a braking force to the wheel in proportion to a hydraulic braking pressure, a pressure source for pressurizing brake fluid to generate a hydraulic braking pressure and supply the hydraulic braking pressure to the wheel brake cylinder, and an auxiliary pressure source for pressurizing brake fluid in response to operation of the brake pedal to generate a hydraulic braking pressure and supply the hydraulic braking pressure to the wheel brake cylinder when the pressure source is non-operational. A mechanical valve is operatively mounted between the wheel brake cylinder and the auxiliary pressure source. A first passage is connected between the auxiliary pressure source and the mechanical valve and a second passage is connected between the mechanical valve and the wheel brake cylinder. The mechanical valve permits brake fluid communication between the first and the second passages when the pressure in the first passage is less than a predetermined pressure, and permits brake fluid to flow from the first passage to the second passage when the pressure of the first passage is more than the predetermined pressure.

A load transmitting elastic member is interposed between an input rod and a piston of a master cylinder or a piston of a pedal stroke simulator to which the operation force of a brake pedal is applied from the input rod. The set load of the load transmitting elastic member is lower than the predetermined load required for causing the piston to begin to slide and the maximum load of the load transmitting elastic member is higher than the predetermined load required for causing the piston to begin to slide. The stroke of the brake pedal thus begins through application of a small depression force applied to the brake pedal and so the operational feeling of the brake pedal is improved.

A brake pressure control device for a vehicle includes a wheel brake, a reservoir, a master cylinder, an accumulator which stores the fluid pressure at a pressure higher than the fluid pressure generated by the master cylinder, and a fluid pump which discharges fluid pressure higher than the fluid pressure in the accumulator. A first fluid conduit connects the master cylinder to the wheel brake, a second fluid conduit connects the fluid pump to the wheel brake, a third fluid conduit connects the fluid pump to the accumulator, a fourth fluid conduit connects the accumulator to the suction port of the fluid pump, and a fifth fluid conduit connects the wheel brake to the reservoir. A first valve opens and closes the first fluid conduit, a second valve opens and closes the second fluid conduit, a third valve opens and closes the third fluid conduit, a fourth valve opens and closes the fourth fluid conduit, and a fifth valve opens and closes the fifth fluid conduit. A foot force sensor detects the force applied to the brake pedal, a vehicle deceleration sensor senses the vehicle deceleration, and a controller estimates a target deceleration of the vehicle based on the foot force detected by the foot force sensor. The controller supplies fluid pressure to the wheel brake by controlling the first valve, the second valve, the fourth valve, the fifth valve and the fluid pump so that the vehicle deceleration agrees with the target deceleration of the vehicle estimated by the controller and controls the third valve and the fluid pump in order to store the fluid pressure in the accumulator.

An image processing apparatus (MFP) stores a print job received from a terminal apparatus even after printing (S201 to S203), setting change operations received from the operation section of the image processing apparatus for the stored print job (S204). Whether the image processing apparatus carries out the processing of updating the data of the print job corresponding to those setting changes in that image processing apparatus itself or makes the printer driver in the terminal apparatus carry it out is judged based on the contents of the setting changes and the processing capacity of the image processing apparatus (S205, S206), and the execution is done in one of them.

When a vehicle stops, a brake control unit maintains a braking force applied on a wheel by a braking-force application unit for maintaining a halted state. In this state, if a driver depresses the accelerator pedal to execute starting of the vehicle, the braking force is gradually decreased, and the vehicle starts at a speed that accords with a degree of accelerator opening and a gradient of a road on which the vehicle is stopped. When a movement direction at this time is the same as a movement direction intended by the driver, the braking force is decreased to zero for smooth starting. When the movement direction is opposite to the intended movement direction, the braking force is increased to control the movement in the opposite direction, such that the movement changes from the opposite direction to the same direction, and finally, smooth starting in the desired direction is executed.
