  • Patent number: 11668358
    Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle disc brake for which incorrect installation of a friction pad can be prevented with a simple structure. The disc brake is provided with incorrect installation-preventing parts with which, if a friction pad (4) is installed with an incorrect installation orientation when a pair of tabs (10, 11) provided on the disc entry-side and disc exit-side of the back plate (4d) of a friction pad (4) is installed into pad guide grooves (9) formed on a caliper body (3), the tabs bump into the caliper body (3) and prevent the incorrect installation. The incorrect installation-preventing parts are formed from caliper-side recesses (9d, 9e), which are formed in the pad guide grooves (9) towards the center of the caliper body, and tab-side protrusions (10a, 11a), which have shapes that correspond to the caliper-side recesses (9d, 9e).

  • Patent number: 11155251
    Abstract: A motor control device includes a drive control device that controls turning on/off of a motor, and a voltage obtaining device that obtains a voltage across terminals of the motor. The drive control device determines whether or not the motor drive signal is OFF (ST01). If the determination is Yes, the drive control device determines whether or not the voltage across the terminals, which is obtained by the voltage obtaining device, has decreased and reached a target voltage (ST02). If the determination at ST02 is Yes, an ON time is set on the basis of the immediately preceding OFF time (ST03), and the motor drive signal is switched from OFF to ON (ST04). After the ON time elapses, the motor drive signal is switched from ON to OFF (ST05). Low-rotational-speed motor control can be performed while suppressing heat generation in a motor relay.

  • Patent number: 10994714
    Abstract: A brake fluid pressure control device for a vehicle that includes a wheel speed obtaining device to obtain wheel speed, and a vehicle body deceleration calculating means to calculate a vehicle body deceleration on the basis of the wheel speed. If a condition is satisfied in which the vehicle body deceleration continues to stay at a low rate of less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined period of time, the pressure increasing rate in pressure increasing control is altered to a higher value than before the condition is satisfied. The brake fluid pressure of a brake caliper can quickly be brought close to the fluid pressure of a master cylinder. Therefore, it is possible to improve the brake responsiveness when the brake is re-operated by the driver during the ABS control, thereby reducing the driver's feeling of wrongness and strangeness.
