  • Patent number: 8876224
    Abstract: A vehicular brake fluid pressure control apparatus includes: normally open and normally closed electromagnetic valves disposed to correspond to plural wheel brakes; and a control unit which controls fluid pressures transmitted to the wheel brakes by controlling drive currents applied to the electromagnetic valves according to plural different fluid pressure control modes. The control unit controls the normally closed electromagnetic valves while switching, according to which of the fluid pressure control modes is effective, between a responsivity priority control in which drive currents applied to the normally closed electromagnetic valves are increased to a target current value instantaneously at a first slope, a silence priority control in which the drive currents are increased at a second slope gentler than the first slope, and an intermediate control in which the drive currents are increased at a third slope gentler than the first slope and steeper than the second slope.

  • Patent number: 7938381
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve has a fixed core, a movable core, a coil attract the fixed core and the movable core each other, a valve body and a valve seat member including a funnel-shaped valve seat surface and an inlet path. The flow path is closable by retreat/advance of the valve body relative to the valve seat surface. The valve body includes a semi-spherical seal portion and a stem portion extending from the seal portion towards the movable core, a diameter of an end portion of the seal portion at the stem portion side is larger than a diameter of an end portion of the stem portion at the seal portion side. A space is defined in an area located on an extended line extending from a small diameter end portion to a large diameter end portion of the valve seat surface.
