20080272646 | HYDRAULIC APPARATUS FOR FLUID PRESSURE CONTROL - A hydraulic apparatus includes a fluid pressure control unit which includes: a housing unit enclosing a pump, a motor fixed to a first side surface of the housing unit; a control section provided on a second side surface of the housing unit and arranged to control the motor; and a physical quantity sensor fixed to the control section. There are further provided a plurality of mount portions to support the housing unit to a vehicle body elastically. The physical quantity sensor is located between the mount portions. | 11-06-2008 |
20090115248 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE BRAKE APPLICATION AND INITIAL SKID DETECTION - The adaptive brake application and initial skid detection system allows rapid brake application and prevents deep initial skids. Brake torque is compared with a predetermined threshold brake torque. Wheel velocity error signals are also generated to indicated the difference between the wheel velocity and a reference velocity signal. A torque bias modulator integrator responsive to brake torque signals adjusts the wheel velocity error signals to provide an anti-skid control signal. The torque bias modulator integrator can also be initialized to the value of the measured brake torque when the wheel velocity error signals indicate the beginning of a skid. Brake torque difference signals are generated to indicate the difference between brake torque and a commanded brake torque, and an adjusted brake torque error signal is generated in response to the brake torque difference signals. | 05-07-2009 |
20090184573 | BRAKE CONTROLLER FOR VEHICLE AND BRAKE CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE - A brake controller for a vehicle is disclosed. The brake controller is mounted on the vehicle to control the drive of the brake device. The brake controller comprises a rough road index calculating section for calculating a rough road index in a predetermined cycle, wherein the rough road index indicates an unevenness degree of the road on which the vehicle travels; and a controlling section for controlling the drive of the brake device to provide the driving force to the brake pad when the current rough road index calculated by the rough road index calculating section is smaller than a previous rough road index calculated by the rough road index calculating section. | 07-23-2009 |
20090243382 | BRAKING CONTROL APPARATUS - A braking control apparatus includes a brake operating member, a hydraulic circuit supplying a wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder, a pump generating a hydraulic pressure so that the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure reaches a value in response to an operation of the brake operating member, a circulation conduit provided at a portion of the hydraulic circuit, the circulation conduit through which a partial amount of brake fluid discharged from the pump is circulated back to the pump, a pressure regulating valve adjust a pressure difference between an upstream side of the pressure regulating valve connected to the wheel cylinder and a downstream side, and a controlling device calculating, on the basis of a circulation flow rate of the brake fluid passing through the pressure regulating valve, an applied current to the pressure regulating valve for obtaining a target of the pressure difference and controlling the applied current. | 10-01-2009 |
20100084915 | BRAKING SYSTEM FOR HYBRID VEHICLE - A braking system for a vehicle includes an active booster master cylinder connected with the wheel cylinders, and a controller for operating active booster master cylinder during braking. The primary master cylinder, which is located remotely from the active booster master cylinder, is selectably connected with either a pedal feel emulator or a servo system which applies the brakes using the active booster master cylinder and a hydraulic output from the primary master cylinder in the event that control of the active booster master cylinder becomes impaired. | 04-08-2010 |
20100117448 | BRAKING SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES - In order to embody an electrohydraulic brake system of the brake-by-wire type in a way which is optimized in terms of installation space, it is proposed that a booster device for boosting the activation force which is transmitted to a pressure sensor by the brake pedal is composed of a booster module, which is connected upstream of the pressure sensor, and of a hydraulic pressure source, and in that the pressure sensor forms, with the booster module, a first functionally capable assembly which can be handled independently, and a pressure source, an electronic open-loop and closed-loop control unit and a valve block which accommodates the pressure control valves form a second functionally capable assembly which can be handled independently and which is arranged spatially separate from the first assembly. | 05-13-2010 |
20100133897 | Actuating Unit for a Motor Vehicle Brake System - In order to increase the operational safety of a device which is used in a brake system of the “brake-by-wire” type and has the purpose of activating and deactivating a pedal travel simulator, an articulated connection which permits an all around pivoting movement of a piston rod is provided between a piston and the piston rod which activates the latter. | 06-03-2010 |
20100253137 | Vehicle Brake System - A brake system which can secure quietness in a passenger compartment is provided. A vehicle brake system | 10-07-2010 |
20150298670 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A BRAKE SYSTEM, AND BRAKE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE METHOD IS CARRIED OUT - A method for operating a brake system, which brake system includes a master brake cylinder, which is actuated by the driver with the aid of a brake force booster, a driver-independent pressure source, and at least one wheel brake to which a wheel speed sensor is assigned. During a braking operation initiated by the driver, which is identified in particular by a brake lamp switch, the present vehicle deceleration is determined and compared with a predefined threshold value, and the at least one driver-independent pressure source is activated if the determined vehicle deceleration reaches or falls below the predefined threshold value. A brake system for a motor vehicle, which brake system has a control unit in which the method is carried out is also disclosed. | 10-22-2015 |
