  • Patent number: 10252707
    Abstract: A system comprises: pump (hydraulic pressure source) that uses brake fluid supplied from reservoir tank (reservoir) to generate hydraulic pressure in first hydraulic line, thereby generating hydraulic pressure in wheel cylinder; piston configured to move axially in cylinder under the action of hydraulic fluid supplied from master cylinder, piston dividing cylinder into at least two chambers (positive pressure chamber and backpressure chamber); stroke simulator for generating reaction force to a driver's brake operation by moving piston; second hydraulic line provided between positive pressure chamber in stroke simulator and master cylinder; and third hydraulic chamber provided between backpressure chamber and first hydraulic chamber to transmit brake fluid from backpressure chamber to first hydraulic chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180370509
    Abstract: Provided is a brake apparatus capable of securing a braking force on a vehicle even at the time of a fluid leak. The brake apparatus performs control so as to continue generation of a brake hydraulic pressure to be supplied to a wheel cylinder with use of a second hydraulic source if a fluid leak of brake fluid is determined based on a preset relationship between a hydraulic pressure of a first hydraulic source and a stroke of a brake pedal.

  • Publication number: 20130062932
    Abstract: A brake control apparatus for a vehicle provided with a regenerative braking device, the brake control apparatus includes: a first brake circuit connecting a master cylinder configured to generate a brake hydraulic pressure by a brake operation of a driver, and a wheel cylinder to which the brake hydraulic pressure is applied; a booster configured to increase a pressure of a brake fluid within the master cylinder, and to transmit the pressurized brake fluid to the wheel cylinder through a second brake circuit connected with the first brake circuit; a third brake circuit bifurcated from the first brake circuit, and connected with the booster; a reservoir provided on the third brake circuit; and a recirculating device configured to recirculate the brake fluid stored in the reservoir, to the first brake circuit's side.
