Abstract: A vehicle brake control system includes a detecting device that receives a driver's braking intention which is in the form of a physical variable and outputting an electric signal indicating the intention, a vehicle brake device that establishes a brake operation by applying a braking force to a wheel brake device, and a control device that controls the vehicle brake device such that the braking force is in the form of an independent braking force of the electric signal and a dependent braking force on the electric signal at an initial stage and at a successive stage thereof, respectively.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In a hydraulic brake system for a vehicle, the brake fluid in a first wheel brake and the brake fluid in a second wheel brake which are hydraulically connected to a pressure generating chamber of a master cylinder are individually caused to flow into a low back pressure reservoir with the aid of an electromagnetic change-over valve and first and second electromagnetic cut-off valves; and with a pump driven by an electric motor, the brake fluid flowing in the low back pressure reservoir in the above-described manner is caused to flow through a first check valve and a first orifice to the first wheel brake, and through a second check valve and a second orifice to the second wheel brake. With the pump operated, the first and second electromagnetic cut-off valves are individually operated, so that the first and second wheel brakes are individually decreased or reincreased in hydraulic pressure. For traction control, electromagnetic change-over valves provided in bypass passages are operated.

Abstract: In a hydraulic brake system for a vehicle, the brake fluid in a first wheel brake and the brake fluid in a second wheel brake, which are hydraulically connected to a pressure generating chamber of a master cylinder, are caused to individually flow into a low back pressure reservoir with the aid of an electromagnetic change-over valve and electromagnetic cut-off valves. The brake fluid in the low back pressure reservoir is caused to flow through a check valve and an orifice into the first wheel brake and through another check valve and another orifice into the second first wheel brake by the operation of a pump which is driven by an electric motor. With the pump in operation, the electromagnetic cut-off valves are individually operated so that the first and second wheel brakes are decreased or reincreased in hydraulic pressure. Thus, the system is low in manufacturing cost, being operable with only one pump and only one low back pressure reservoir.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a hydraulic braking system having a master cylinder (10) in which a first piston and a second piston are slidably disposed to define a first pressure chamber (11) and a second pressure chamber (12). A valve device (24) is provided between the first pressure chamber and a reservoir (20). A first pressure control device (30, 31) is provided between the first pressure chamber and wheel cylinders (38, 39), and a second pressure control device (32, 33) is provided between the second pressure chamber and wheel cylinders (40, 41). A pump (27) is provided in a passage connecting the reservoir and the first pressure control device, and driven to supply a brake pressure from the former to the latter.
