20080265664 | Method for estimating master cylinder pressure during brake apply - A method for estimating master cylinder pressure during brake apply of a brake system of a vehicle, wherein the brake system includes a brake pedal. A first master cylinder pressure is estimated from brake pedal position during brake apply. A second master cylinder pressure is estimated from vehicle deceleration during brake apply. The master cylinder pressure is estimated during brake apply to be equal to the first master cylinder pressure when the vehicle deceleration is below a predetermined deceleration value. The master cylinder pressure is estimated during brake apply to be equal to a value which is less than the first master cylinder pressure and greater than or equal to the second master cylinder pressure when the vehicle deceleration is at or above the predetermined deceleration value. At least the estimated master cylinder pressure during brake apply is used to control the vehicle. | 10-30-2008 |

20100078989 | STROKE SIMULATOR IN BRAKE SYSTEM - A stroke simulator in a brake system includes a cylinder body, a piston movably inserted in the cylinder body, and a second elastic member adapted to be pressed by the piston. It functions to give a simulative operational feel to a brake lever by operating the brake lever to generate a fluid pressure in a front wheel master cylinder and transmit this fluid pressure to the cylinder body, thereby deforming the second elastic member through the piston, and wherein annular recesses are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second elastic member. | 04-01-2010 |
20150091371 | STROKE SIMULATOR AND BUSH FOR STROKE SIMULATOR - A stroke simulator and a bush for a stroke simulator are configured so that a bush provided to a stroke simulator can be attached without direction management. The stroke simulator generates brake reaction force by a simulator piston that is displaced within a cylinder by hydraulic pressure generated according to the operation of a brake pedal by a driver. A cylindrical rubber bush is elastically deformed in an axial direction by pressure from the simulator piston to generate brake reaction force, the bush characterized in that a first end section on the simulator piston side and a second end section facing the first end section contain the same number, at least two, of concave sections which are concaved in the axial direction, and the concave section formed in the first end section and the concave section formed in the second end section are formed in different positions in the axial direction. | 04-02-2015 |
20150375721 | PEDAL SIMULATOR - Disclosed herein is a pedal simulator. The pedal simulator installed at an electronic brake system which includes a master cylinder coupled with a reserver and configured to generate an oil pressure according to a driver's pedal force, a pedal displacement sensor configured to detect displacement of a brake pedal, and an oil pressure generating device configured to output an electric signal corresponding to an operation of the brake pedal through the pedal displacement sensor, to operate a motor and also to convert a rotating force of the motor into a rectilinear motion, includes a pedal simulation unit connected with the master cylinder and configured to provide a reaction force according to the pedal force of the brake pedal; and a simulation valve connected with a rear end of the pedal simulation unit and configured to control a flow in a passage according to an opening and closing operation, wherein the simulation valve controls a flow rate of the oil by controlling a degree of opening and closing. | 12-31-2015 |
20160023643 | PEDAL FORCE SIMULATOR AND BRAKE SYSTEM - A pedal force simulator for a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle has a simulator chamber and a simulator piston that can be moved along a working path within the simulator chamber. The pedal force simulator has a line arrangement by which the simulator chamber can be brought into fluid communication with a pressure chamber of a brake cylinder of the hydraulic brake system. The line arrangement has a valve arrangement, the throttling effect of which depends on the position of the simulator piston along the working path. | 01-28-2016 |
