摘要:
To provide an electric brake device in an automotive vehicle, which a freezing that takes place while the automotive vehicle is parked can be assuredly avoided with a simplified mechanism. The electric brake device includes an electric motor (2), a braking force application mechanism (4), a lock mechanism (5), a temperature sensor (6) for measuring an ambient temperature of the automotive vehicle, and a freezing preventive power supply unit (7). The freezing preventive power supply unit (7) initiates the supply of an electric power to the electric motor (2) or a drive source (30) of the lock mechanism (5) in the event that while the braking force application mechanism (4) applies a braking force and the lock mechanism (5) is held in a locked condition the temperature sensor (6) detects a preset temperature of the electric brake device immediately before freezing.

An electric linear motion actuator capable of accurately controlling the axial position of an outer ring member is provided. A plurality of planetary rollers are kept in rolling contact with the cylindrical surface formed on the outer periphery of a rotary shaft. Helical ribs formed on the inner periphery of the outer ring member are engaged in circumferential grooves formed on the outer periphery of each of the planetary rollers. A carrier retains the plurality of planetary rollers. A revolution sensor detects the rotation angle of the carrier.

An electric linear motion actuator includes: a rotary shaft to be driven by an electric motor; a plurality of planetary rollers kept in rolling contact with a cylindrical surface formed on an outer periphery of the rotary shaft; a carrier which retains the planetary rollers such that the planetary rollers are rotatable about axes thereof while revolving around the rotary shaft, and of which axial movement is restricted; and an outer ring member surrounding the planetary rollers and supported so as to be slidable in an axial direction. Helical ribs are formed on an inner periphery of the outer ring member; and circumferential grooves are formed on an outer periphery of each of the planetary rollers so as to be engaged with the helical ribs. A rotation of the rotary shaft is thus converted to a linear motion of the outer ring member.

An electric linear motion actuator is provided which can set the clearance during normal braking operation of an electric brake system. The linear motion actuator includes a load sensor for detecting the magnitude of the load with which a friction pad is pressed against the brake disk, a temperature sensor for compensating for the influence of temperature on the load sensor, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is adapted to calculate a target rotational angle from the position of the electric motor corresponding to the magnitude of the load detected by the load sensor to the position of the electric motor where the clearance is at a predetermined value, and control the electric motor to rotate the electric motor by the target rotational angle.

A magnetic load sensor unit for use in a linear motion actuator is provided which is less likely to suffer from hysteresis errors during use while being mounted in the linear motion actuator, and which can reduce the axial length of the linear motion actuator. The magnetic load sensor unit is configured to detect the magnitude of an axial load applied to an object from the linear motion actuator. The sensor unit includes a flange member configured to be deflected when a reaction force to the axial load is received through a thrust bearing, a magnetic target which generates magnetic fields; and a magnetic sensor arranged such that its position relative to the magnetic target changes when the flange member is deflected. The flange member has an axial end surface in which a groove is formed with which rolling elements of the thrust bearing are in rolling contact.

An electric linear motion actuator includes planetary rollers mounted between the radially inner surface of an outer ring member and the radially outer surface of a rotary shaft, and a carrier rotatable about the rotary shaft and including radially movable roller shafts rotatably supporting the respective planetary rollers. Elastic rings each having circumferentially separate ends are each wrapped around the roller shafts to radially inwardly bias the roller shafts, thereby bringing the respective planetary rollers into elastic contact with the radially outer surface of the rotary shaft. Each elastic ring is prevented from rotating relative to the roller shafts, thereby preventing one of the roller shafts from being axially aligned with the gap between the circumferential separate ends, causing the elastic ring to be radially compressed and thus making it impossible for the elastic rings to radially bias the roller shafts.

An electric brake system is proposed which includes an electric linear motion actuator and can generate the required braking force with high accuracy. A load sensor (30) is provided in a motion converting mechanism of the actuator which converts the rotary motion of a rotary shaft (4) to which the rotation of an electric motor (2) is transmitted to linear motion of an outer ring member (5) as an output member. The load sensor (30) detects the pushing force with which the outer ring member (5) linearly drives a driven member. With this arrangement, if the driven member is a braking member of an electric brake system, it is possible to directly detect the braking force applied by the driven member and thus to accurately generate the required braking force.
