摘要:
A brake torque control device obtains inertia torque Tine based upon an equation of motion (Tine=Tw−Ft·Rt) about the rotation of a tire based upon a wheel torque Tw according to a brake torque exerted on the tire, road friction force Ft and a radius Rt of the tire. When the inertia torque Tine exceeds a predetermined reference value, road friction force Ft at this time is set as estimated maximum road friction force Fmax. The instructed brake torque is calculated under the condition that the value that is obtained by adding the predetermined value corresponding to the inertia torque Tine to the torque Fmax·Rt based upon this estimated maximum road friction force Fmax is set as an upper limit value of the instructed brake torque. This allows to clearly set, as one value, the target value of the instructed brake torque upon an ABS control, thereby being capable of more accurately executing the pressure-increasing control and pressure-reducing control of the brake fluid pressure.

The present invention is directed to a hydraulic brake apparatus provided with a pressure source for generating hydraulic pressure, a pressure regulator valve for regulating the hydraulic pressure generated by the pressure source in response to an input state, a master cylinder having a master piston for defining a pressure chamber for receiving therein the hydraulic pressure fed from the pressure regulator valve, and a master chamber for discharging hydraulic braking pressure. The hydraulic braking pressure discharged from the master chamber is set to be lower than the hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber, to produce a pressure difference increased in response to advance of the master piston. A wheel brake cylinder is operatively mounted on each wheel of the vehicle for applying braking force to each wheel. A pressure control valve is disposed between the master chamber and the wheel brake cylinder to control the hydraulic braking pressure in the wheel brake cylinder. And, a pressure supply device (including a relief valve) is provided for supplying the hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber reduced in pressure by a predetermined value, into the master chamber.

A normal control in which a master cylinder 32 is used as a hydraulic source to increase a wheel cylinder pressure and a brake assist control in which a pump 12 and an accumulator 20 are used as the hydraulic source the wheel cylinder pressure is increased in a state where communication between the master cylinder 32 and the wheel cylinder 44** is intercepted are executed. When a termination request for the brake assist control occurs, first, the wheel cylinder pressure decreased. After the wheel cylinder pressure is decreased enough, communication between the wheel cylinder 44** and the master cylinder 32 is restored.

A braking force control apparatus adapted to generate a braking force, which is larger than that generated in a regular case, when a predetermined braking operation is carried out, this apparatus aiming at preventing the occurrence of an unnecessarily large sensible deceleration during a low-speed travel of a vehicle. ECU (10) is adapted to judge whether or not an emergency braking operation has been executed on the basis of a master cylinder pressure (Pmc) and its rate of change (dPmc). When a judgement that an emergency braking operation has been carried out is given, a wheel cylinder pressure (Pwc) is quickly increased by supplying an accumulator pressure to the wheel cylinder. When a vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined level during the execution of the emergency braking operation, the wheel cylinder pressure (Pwc) is speedily increased (116, 118) by a braking assist regular control operation. When the vehicle speed is not higher than a predetermined level during the execution of the emergency braking operation, the wheel cylinder pressure (Pwc) is slowly increased (116, 120) by a braking assist starting special control operation.

A behavior control device of a vehicle, comprising: means for detecting vehicle speed; means for detecting steering angle of front left and front right wheels; means for detecting slip angle of at east one of rear left and rear right wheels; means for calculating a target value of the slip angle based upon parameters related with turn behavior of the vehicle including at least the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting means and the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting means; and control means for calculating a value of yaw moment to be applied to the vehicle body such that, when the calculated value of yaw moment is applied to the vehicle, the slip angle detected by the slip angle detecting means conforms to the target value thereof calculated by the target slip angle calculation means. The control means operates the brake means so as to variably brake a selected one or ones of the wheels to apply the calculated value of the yaw moment to the vehicle body. The behavior control device may further comprise means for calculating a liability of the vehicle body to spin for producing a spin value which generally increases along with increase of the spin liability; and means for calculating a liability of the vehicle body to drift-out for producing a drift-out value which generally increases along with increase of the drift-out liability, so that control means modifies the calculated value of the yaw moment applied to the vehicle body according to at least one of the spin value and the drift-out value such that the yaw moment applied to the vehicle body is greater as the spin value or the drift-out value is greater.

The pressure supply valve (40) provides hydraulic pressure from a pressure source (20) to the system modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52') and isolates a hydraulic boost chamber (34) of a boosted master cylinder (12). The pressure supply valve (40) includes an armature (83) operated piston valve (72) having a through opening (79), a valve seat (85) of the piston valve (72) engageable with a ball valve (68). The ball valve (68) normally prevents fluid flow from the pressure source (20) to the modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52'), and the piston valve (72) permits fluid flow through itself during normal and adaptive braking. During traction control operation, the piston valve (72) displaces the ball valve (68) and permits the pressure source (20) to communicate with the modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52').

A hydraulic power booster having a lever device disposed in operative association with a reaction piston, a power piston and a valve spool, for moving the valve spool in one of opposite axial directions thereof for applying a pressure of a pressure source into a power chamber to advance the power piston, in response to a relative movement between the reaction and power pistons. The booster is provided with a backup actuator including a cylinder, and a valve drive piston which slidably engages the cylinder. The cylinder and the valve drive piston cooperate with each other to define a first fluid chamber communicating with the power chamber, and a second fluid chamber communicating with a pressure chamber in which a pressure is generated according to an advancing force of the power piston. The valve drive piston moves the valve spool in the above-indicated one axial direction, in engagement with the valve spool, when the valve drive piston is moved in a direction from the second fluid chamber toward the first fluid chamber.
摘要:
When excessive acceleration slip of a driving wheel is detected by wheel speed sensors attached to driving and non-driving wheels, an electronic control unit provides first and second control signals to a change-over valve and a control valve, respectively. The change-over valve operates in accordance with the first control signal to supply hydraulic pressure from a hydraulic pump to control a cut-off valve to thereby cut off communication between a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder. At the same time, hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump is fed to the wheel cylinder through the change-over valve and the control valve to brake the driving wheel. The control valve operates in accordance with the second control signal to increase or decrease the pressure in the wheel cylinder thereby adjusting the braking force for the driving wheel.
