Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control apparatus, which includes normally open valves to supply hydraulic pressure discharged from a master cylinder into wheel brake cylinders, normally closed valves to reduce the wheel cylinder pressure, and a proportional pressure difference valve which is disposed between the master cylinder and the normally open valves, to regulate a pressure difference between the hydraulic pressure at the side of the master cylinder and the hydraulic pressure at the side of the normally open valves to be of a desired value.

Abstract: A switching reservoir which reserves brake fluid for reducing a pressure to a wheel cylinder is connected to a pressure decrease control valve and an intake port of a pump through a reservoir port, and connected to a M/C through a connection port. There are a ball valve and a rod below the ball valve inside the connection port. The rod moves up and down the ball valve integrally with a piston of the reservoir chamber. When an amount of the brake fluid in the reservoir chamber becomes less than a predetermined amount, the rod moves upward to cause the ball valve separates from a valve seat and is changed to be in an open sate, allowing the brake fluid to flow in from the M/C. Accordingly, the pump is always capable of sucking up the fluid, thereby preventing sharp increase of the rotational speed of the motor due to a sharp decrease in the pump load caused by an empty reservoir chamber and enabling driving of the motor with a duty control. Therefore, low noise and low pulse pressure can be achieved.

Abstract: A brake control apparatus for automotive vehicles is provided which has two separate hydraulic brake lines leading to wheel cylinders and performs a brake assisting operation to hold the wheel cylinder pressure higher than the master cylinder pressure in each of the hydraulic brake lines when a brake pedal is depressed by a vehicle operator. The brake control apparatus also includes a fluid pressure difference regulator which regulates a pressure difference between the two hydraulic brake lines so as to fall within a given allowable pressure range, thereby minimizing adverse effects on the brake assisting operation which are caused by electric and/or mechanical performance difference between the two hydraulic brake lines.

Abstract: A turning state of a vehicle is detected to specify an outer side front wheel and an inner side rear wheel of a turning circle. A controlling device controls the brake fluid pressures of wheel cylinders of the specified wheels so that the brake fluid pressure of the wheel cylinder of one of the specified wheels is made smaller than a master cylinder pressure while substantially simultaneously the brake fluid pressure of the wheel cylinder of the other wheel of the specified wheels is made larger than the master cylinder pressure.

Abstract: During a time period of from a time that is immediately before a vehicle being stopped to a time of the vehicle being stopped, a pressure increase gradient in braking fluid pressure which is applied to wheel cylinders of rear wheels is made to be larger than a pressure increase gradient that prevailed until a time that was immediately before the vehicle being stopped. As a result, a pitching motion that occurs in a vehicle body can be suppressed.

Abstract: A solenoid valve driving device includes a bypassing current path of which one end is connected to a point between a first switching device and a first solenoid valve and another end is connected to a point between a second switching device and a second solenoid valve, and an element disposed in the bypassing current path and having a characteristic that causes current to flow from the first switching device side to a second switching device side. By adopting the above described constitution, through current generated when the first switching device is switched from an OFF-state to an ON-state during duty control of the first switching device can be suppressed by the inductance of the second solenoid valve. In this way, one solenoid valve among a pair of the first and second solenoid valves, which is not operated, has a function of suppressing the through current.

A second valve connected between the wheel cylinder and a reservoir serves to permit and inhibit an escape of the brake fluid from the wheel cylinder toward the reservoir. A control device serves to output control signals to the first and second valves respectively to control the braking pressure in the wheel cylinder in response to a detected running condition of the vehicle.

Abstract: A pressure control valve for use in an automobile braking system includes a spool slidably movable for providing selective fluid communication between a pressure fluid source, a wheel cylinder, and a reservoir. The spool has, or is associated with, a pressure-bearing member responsive to a fluid pressure from the wheel cylinder, for applying a first biasing force to the slidable member to urge the slidable member to a position in which the wheel cylinder and the reservoir communicates with each other. An electromagnetic coil responds to an electric signal for generating an electromagnetic force to urge the slidable member to the above position. The slidable member is normally biased by a spring under a second biasing force, greater than the first biasing force, to urge the slidable member to a position in which the pressure fluid source and the wheel cylinder communicate with each other.

Abstract: In a wheel slip prevention control system for preventing the slippage of the driven wheel occuring when a vehicle is accelerated, a reference speed is derived from the non-driven wheel speed and the driven wheel speed is corrected by a correction value obtained as a function of a driven wheel acceleration value and a non-driven wheel acceleration value. The throttle valve is controlled with speed corresponding to the slipping condition of the driven wheel, i.e., with a control speed derived as a function of the reference speed and the corrected driven wheel speed, so that the slippage is quickly and effectively prevented.
