    摘要: A disc brake caliper assembly is provided that includes a housing having a bore. A piston is arranged within the bore and is movable between normal retracted and knock-back positions. A linkage is adjacent to the piston and is movable between first and second positions with a clearance between the piston and the linkage in the first position. The clearance undesirably permits the piston to move to the knock-back position during severe operating conditions. An actuator, which also may be used as part an electric parking brake, moves the linkage from the first position to the second position to eliminate the clearance when the linkage is moved from the first position to the second position where the linkage abuts the piston. The linkage is connected to the caliper housing by a support. The linkage prevents the piston from moving from the normal retracted position to the knock-back position. In operation, the present invention prevents piston knock-back by sending an adjustment signal from a controller to the actuator at a predetermined interval. The signal commands the actuator to move a linkage from the first to the second position where the linkage abuts the piston. In this manner, the linkage prevents the piston from moving from a normal retracted position to a knock-back position.

    摘要: A brake by wire system provides the capability of both travel and force sensors on a brake apply input member such as a brake pedal and also provides redundancy in sensors by providing the signal from a sensor responsive to travel or position of the brake pedal to a first controller and the signal from a sensor responsive to force applied to the brake pedal to a second controller. The first and second controllers are connected by a bi-directional communication link whereby each controller may communicate its received one of the sensor signals to the other controller. In at least one of the controllers, linearized versions of the signals are combined for the generation of first and second brake apply command signals for communication to brake apply units. If either controller does not receive one of the sensor signals from the other, it nevertheless generates its brake apply command signal on the basis of the sensor signal provided directly to it from the sensor. In a preferred embodiment of the system, a controller combines the linearized signals by choosing the largest in magnitude.

    摘要: A brake pedal for a motor vehicle brake-by-wire brake system including a pedal lever resiliently flexible in beam bending, a foot pad on the pedal lever, and a mounting for the pedal lever on a body of the motor vehicle which constitutes the pedal lever a variable stiffness cantilever spring. The mounting for the pedal lever includes a socket for an inboard end of the pedal lever, a stationary reaction surface on the body of the motor vehicle, and a pedal lever reaction surface on the pedal lever which faces and diverges from the stationary reaction surface in a release position of the pedal lever. The stationary reaction surface and the pedal lever reaction surface become progressively engaged concurrent with resilient flexure of the pedal lever in cantilever spring bending to vary the stiffness of the cantilever spring. The stationary and pedal lever reaction surfaces are contoured or “tuned” to yield a pedal force which initially increases slowly relative to pedal travel and then increases exponentially relative to pedal travel thereby emulating the relationship between pedal force and pedal travel of a brake pedal in a traditional motor vehicle brake system.

    摘要: A power brake apply system includes a master cylinder having a piston for generating fluid pressure within a braking circuit. A boost valve assembly is mounted adjacent the master cylinder and carries a slidable spool that selectively closes off a normal path of communication between a fluid reservoir and the boost chamber of the master cylinder in response to the manual actuation of the master cylinder's piston as effected through a pressurized braking circuit. After closure of communication between the reservoir and the boost chamber a power fluid supply is opened to the boost chamber to provide power assist in the actuation of the master cylinder's piston.

    摘要: An electro-hydraulic actuator for a motor vehicle brake-by-wire brake system including a housing, a piston bore in the housing, a T-shaped piston in the piston bore, and an electric motor connected to the piston through a speed reducer. The T-shaped piston includes a disc-shaped head in the piston bore and a tubular stem perpendicular slidable in and out of the piston bore through a sealed guide in the bottom of the piston bore. The top side of the piston head opposite the stem constitutes a large effective area of the piston for rapidly expelling a relatively large volume of fluid from the piston bore in a low pressure interval of operation the actuator. When the fluid pressure in the piston bore exceeds a transition pressure, a transition valve opens a bypass passage to the piston bore behind the piston head so that the same fluid pressure reacts against the bottom side of the piston head around the stem. A high pressure interval of operation of the electro-hydraulic actuator then ensues in which the effective area of the piston is reduced to the area of the cross-sectional profile of the stem.

    摘要: Improved control for a hydraulic system useful in automotive braking applications, particularly in dry interface automotive braking applications, includes the use of a valve for holding pressure in a hydraulic system constant while relieving the pressure load on the pressure source. Preferably, the valve is a normally-open solenoid valve that is closed and opened in response to a desired pressure being sensed at a pressure actuated mechanism, such as a brake caliper. The use of the improved control for a hydraulic system improves brake response times during ABS applications, and increases the energy efficiency and life expectancy of the pressure providing motor.

    摘要: A brake system includes a pedal feel emulator and a master cylinder with a damping mechanism having a damping piston. When the emulator piston is moved from the at-rest position, fluid is displaced from the emulator through a compensation port and through a flow restrictive orifice in the damping piston to the reservoir. Flow rate of the fluid is dependent on the apply rate of the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is applied relatively slowly, sufficient flow volume will occur through the flow restrictive orifice and the damping piston will remain unmoved. As apply rates increase, a sufficient pressure differential will eventually be established across the damping piston to cause it to move. Damping piston movement compensates for rapid fluid displacement out of the variable chamber and enables a desirable pedal feel characteristic where pedal force increases relatively slowly as pedal velocity increases relatively rapidly. As the damping piston movement provides increasing volume, the pressure differential drops across the damping piston and it will cease to move as flow is accommodated solely through the flow restrictive orifice. As this occurs, pedal force will increase more rapidly providing a two-stage damping characteristic.
