車両用制動装置 Braking device for vehicle
技術分野 Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、乗員のブレーキ操作に対して車両に付与する制動力を電子制御する車 両用制動装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a vehicle braking device that electronically controls a braking force applied to a vehicle in response to an occupant's braking operation.
背景技術 Background art
[0002] 車両の制動装置として、ブレーキペダルから入力されたブレーキ操作力や操作量 などに対して制動装置の制動力、つまり、この制動装置を駆動するホイールシリンダ へ供給する油圧を電気的に制御する電子制御制動装置として、アキュムレータに蓄 えられた油圧により制動力を制御する ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake)が知ら れている。 [0002] As a braking device for a vehicle, the braking force of the braking device, that is, the hydraulic pressure supplied to the wheel cylinder that drives the braking device is electrically controlled with respect to the braking operation force and the operation amount input from the brake pedal. As an electronically controlled braking device, ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake) is known which controls the braking force by the hydraulic pressure stored in the accumulator.
[0003] この ECBは、ポンプによって昇圧した油圧をアキュムレータに蓄えておき、運転者 の制動要求に応じて調圧制御して制動装置としてのホイールシリンダに供給するもの である。即ち、運転者がブレーキペダルを操作すると、マスタシリンダがその操作量に 応じた油圧を発生すると共に、作動油の一部がストロークシミュレータに流れ込み、ブ レーキペダルの踏力(操作力)に応じたブレーキペダルの操作量が調整される一方、 ブレーキ ECUはペダルストロークに応じて車両の目標減速度を設定し、各車輪に付 与する制動力分配を決定し、アキュムレータから各ホイールシリンダに対して所定の 油圧を付与するようにしてレ、る。 [0003] This ECB stores hydraulic pressure boosted by a pump in an accumulator, and controls the pressure according to a driver's braking request and supplies it to a wheel cylinder as a braking device. In other words, when the driver operates the brake pedal, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure according to the amount of operation, and part of the hydraulic fluid flows into the stroke simulator, and the brake pedal according to the depression force (operating force) of the brake pedal. The brake ECU sets the target deceleration of the vehicle according to the pedal stroke, determines the braking force distribution to be applied to each wheel, and determines the predetermined hydraulic pressure from the accumulator to each wheel cylinder. Let's give it.
[0004] 上述した ECBでは、ブレーキペダルから入力されたブレーキ操作に応じた適正な 制動油圧を設定し、アキュムレータから各ホイールシリンダに対して適正な油圧を供 給することで、制動力を電気的に制御することから、電源装置の失陥時には、ホイ一 ルシリンダに適正な油圧を供給することができない。そこで、マスタシリンダと各ホイ一 ルシリンダとの間にマスタカット弁を設け、電源装置の失陥時には、このマスタカット 弁を開放し、マスタシリンダからの加圧力を直接ホイールシリンダに付与することで、 制動力を確保するようにしている。 [0004] In the ECB described above, an appropriate braking hydraulic pressure is set according to the brake operation input from the brake pedal, and the appropriate hydraulic pressure is supplied from the accumulator to each wheel cylinder, thereby electrically increasing the braking force. Therefore, when the power supply unit fails, it is not possible to supply the proper hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinder. Therefore, a master cut valve is provided between the master cylinder and each wheel cylinder, and when the power supply unit fails, this master cut valve is opened and the pressure from the master cylinder is directly applied to the wheel cylinder. The braking force is secured.
[0005] このような車両用ブレーキシステムとして、例えば、下記に示す特許文献 1に記載さ れたものがある。 [0005] Such a vehicle brake system is described, for example, in Patent Document 1 shown below. There is something
[0006] 特許文献 1:特開 2001— 225739号公報 [0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-225739
発明の開示 Disclosure of the invention
発明が解決しょうとする課題 Problems to be solved by the invention
[0007] ところで、この ECBにて、前後 4つの車輪の各ホイールシリンダを個別に加圧するこ とで、 4つの車輪の制動力を独立して制御可能に構成する場合、加圧ライン力 系統 あるためにマスタカット弁が 2系統必要となってしまい、構造の複雑化や製造コストの 増大を招いてしまう。また、電源装置の失陥時におけるバックアップシステム、ノ、イド 口ブースターによる助勢制御にて、左右輪の各ホイールシリンダへの制御圧差による 仕様変更対応が必要であり、この点でも、構造の複雑化や製造コストの増大を招いて しまう。 [0007] By the way, in this ECB, when the wheel cylinders of the four front and rear wheels are individually pressurized so that the braking force of the four wheels can be controlled independently, there is a pressure line force system. This necessitates two systems of master cut valves, resulting in a complicated structure and increased manufacturing costs.

[0022] 従って、電源装置が正常であるとき、切換弁により第 1ホイールシリンダと第 2ホイ一 ルシリンダとが遮断状態にあり、第 1圧力制御弁は、 目標制御圧に基づいて油圧供 給源からの油圧を調圧して第 1ホイールシリンダに出力すると共に、第 2圧力制御弁 は、 目標制御圧に基づいて油圧供給源からの油圧を調圧して後方圧力室に出力し 、加圧ピストンをアシストして前方圧力室の油圧を第 2ホイールシリンダに出力するこ とで、車輪に対してホイールシリンダが適正な制動力を付与することができる一方、電 源装置が失陥したとき、切換弁により第 1ホイールシリンダと第 2ホイールシリンダとが 連通状態にあり、操作部材の操作により駆動ピストンが移動することで、前方加圧室 が加圧されて発生する油圧が第 1及び第 2ホイールシリンダに出力することで、車輪 に対してホイールシリンダが適正な制動力を付与することができることとなり、常時適 正な制動力を確保することで信頼性及び安全性の向上を図ることができると共に、構 造の簡素化及び低コスト化を可能とすることができる。 [0022] Therefore, when the power supply device is normal, the first wheel cylinder and the second wheel cylinder are cut off by the switching valve, and the first pressure control valve is disconnected from the hydraulic supply source based on the target control pressure. The second pressure control valve regulates the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic supply source based on the target control pressure and outputs it to the rear pressure chamber to assist the pressurizing piston. By outputting the hydraulic pressure in the front pressure chamber to the second wheel cylinder, the wheel cylinder can apply an appropriate braking force to the wheel. On the other hand, when the power supply unit fails, the switching valve The first wheel cylinder and the second wheel cylinder are in communication with each other, and the hydraulic pressure generated by pressurizing the front pressurizing chamber by the movement of the drive piston by the operation of the operating member causes the first and second wheel series to move. Output to the wheel, the wheel cylinder can apply an appropriate braking force to the wheel, which is always appropriate. By ensuring a positive braking force, reliability and safety can be improved, and the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

制動油圧としてホイールシリンダ 28FLに出力される。そのため、 ABS29では、前輪 FR, FL及び後輪 RR, RLの各ホイールシリンダ 28FR, 28FL, 28RR, 28RLの制 動油圧が個別に調整されて付与されることとなり、前輪 FR, FL及び後輪 RR, RLに 対して、乗員のブレーキペダル 15の操作力に応じた制動力を発生させることができ It is output to the wheel cylinder 28FL as braking hydraulic pressure.

Therefore, for example, even if air enters the high pressure system having the accumulator 40 when the power supply system fails, this air does not enter the hydraulic supply system of the master cylinder 11 and the control generated in the front pressure chamber R.

[0113] また、前輪 FRにおけるホイールシリンダ 28FRとホイールシリンダ 28FLとを連通及 び遮断可能とする切換弁 81が、第 1油圧配管 31と第 1油圧伝達配管 72とを連結す る連結配管 48に配置されている。この切換弁 81は、第 1圧力制御弁としての第 1増 圧弁 43aにより調圧された油圧に応じてホイールシリンダ 28RRとホイールシリンダ 28 RLとを連通及び遮断可能に構成されている。 [0113] In addition, the switching valve 81 that allows the wheel cylinder 28FR and the wheel cylinder 28FL in the front wheel FR to communicate and shut off is connected to the connecting pipe 48 that connects the first hydraulic pipe 31 and the first hydraulic transmission pipe 72. Has been placed. The switching valve 81 is configured to be able to communicate and block the wheel cylinder 28RR and the wheel cylinder 28RL according to the hydraulic pressure regulated by the first pressure increasing valve 43a as the first pressure control valve.
[0114] 即ち、切換弁 81にて、中空形状をなすハウジング 82には、連結ポート 83aと排出ポ ート 83bと作動ポート 83cが形成されている。また、作動ポート 83cは、油圧排出配管 44aに連結されている。このハウジング 82内には、可動子 84が移動自在に支持され ており、この可動子 84には、連結ポート 83aと排出ポート 83bとを連通可能な連通孔 85が形成されると共に、連通孔 85の一端部に対向してボール弁 86が装着されてい る。また、可動子 84は、ハウジング 82との間に介装された付勢スプリング 87の付勢力 により連通孔 85の一端部がボール弁 86から離間する方向に付勢支持されている。 そして、可動子 84が付勢スプリング 87の付勢力に抗して移動することで、連通孔 85 の一端部がボール弁 86に密着してこの連通孔 85を閉止することができる。 That is, in the switching valve 81, a hollow housing 82 has a connection port 83a, a discharge port 83b, and an operation port 83c. The operation port 83c is connected to the hydraulic pressure discharge pipe 44a. A movable element 84 is movably supported in the housing 82. The movable element 84 has a communication hole 85 that allows the connection port 83a and the discharge port 83b to communicate with each other. A ball valve 86 is mounted to face one end of the ball. Further, the movable element 84 is urged and supported in a direction in which one end portion of the communication hole 85 is separated from the ball valve 86 by an urging force of an urging spring 87 interposed between the movable element 84 and the housing 82. When the movable element 84 moves against the urging force of the urging spring 87, one end of the communication hole 85 is brought into close contact with the ball valve 86, and the communication hole 85 can be closed.
[0115] そして、連結配管 48は、端部が第 1油圧配管 31に連結する第 1連結配管 48aと、 端部が第 1油圧伝達配管 72に連結する第 2配管 48bとから構成され、切換弁 81の 連結ポート 83aに第 1連結配管 48aが連結され、排出ポート 83bに第 2連結配管 48b が連結されている。また、切換弁 81の作動ポート 83cには、動力分離機構 71の入力 ポート 76に連結される第 1油圧供給配管 42aから分岐した油圧作動配管 88が連結 されている。 [0115] The connecting pipe 48 is composed of a first connecting pipe 48a whose end is connected to the first hydraulic pipe 31 and a second pipe 48b whose end is connected to the first hydraulic transmission pipe 72. The first connection pipe 48a is connected to the connection port 83a of the valve 81, and the second connection pipe 48b is connected to the discharge port 83b. In addition, a hydraulic operation pipe 88 branched from the first hydraulic supply pipe 42 a connected to the input port 76 of the power separation mechanism 71 is connected to the operation port 83 c of the switching valve 81.
[0116] 従って、第 1増圧弁 43aが閉止状態にあるとき、切換弁 81の作動ポート 83cに制御 圧が作用せず、切換弁 81の可動子 84は、付勢スプリング 87の付勢力により連通孔 85の一端部がボール弁 86から離間して連通孔 85を開放している。そのため、この切 換弁 81により第 1油圧配管 31と第 1油圧伝達配管 72が連通し、マスタシリンダ 11の 前方圧力室 Rから吐出された制御圧は、第 1油圧配管 31からホイールシリンダ 28R Accordingly, when the first pressure increasing valve 43a is in the closed state, the control pressure does not act on the operation port 83c of the switching valve 81, and the movable element 84 of the switching valve 81 communicates with the biasing force of the biasing spring 87. One end of the hole 85 is separated from the ball valve 86 to open the communication hole 85. Therefore, this cut The first hydraulic pipe 31 and the first hydraulic transmission pipe 72 communicate with each other through the valve 81, and the control pressure discharged from the front pressure chamber R of the master cylinder 11 is transferred from the first hydraulic pipe 31 to the wheel cylinder 28R.

Lに出力されると共に、連結配管 48を通り、動力分離機構 71を迂回して第 1油圧伝 達配管 72からホイールシリンダ 28FRに出力される。 In addition to being output to L, it passes through the connecting pipe 48, bypasses the power separation mechanism 71, and is output from the first hydraulic pressure transfer pipe 72 to the wheel cylinder 28FR.
[0117] この状態から、第 1増圧弁 43aが開放されると、第 1増圧弁 43a及び第 1減圧弁 46a により調圧された制御圧が作動ポート 83cを介して可動子 84に作用する。すると、可 動子 84が付勢スプリング 87の付勢力に抗して移動し、連通孔 85の一端部がボール 弁 86に当接して連通孔 85を閉止する。そのため、この切換弁 81により第 1油圧配管 31と第 1油圧伝達配管 72が遮断され、マスタシリンダ 11の前方圧力室 Rから吐出さ [0117] When the first pressure increasing valve 43a is opened from this state, the control pressure regulated by the first pressure increasing valve 43a and the first pressure reducing valve 46a acts on the movable element 84 via the operation port 83c. Then, the movable element 84 moves against the urging force of the urging spring 87, and one end portion of the communication hole 85 comes into contact with the ball valve 86 to close the communication hole 85. For this reason, the first hydraulic pipe 31 and the first hydraulic transmission pipe 72 are shut off by the switching valve 81 and discharged from the front pressure chamber R of the master cylinder 11.

At this time, the control pressure adjusted by the first pressure increasing valve 43a and the first pressure reducing valve 46a acts on the pressure chamber R from the first hydraulic pressure supply pipe 42a through the input port 76 of the power separation mechanism 71, and the energizing spray.

[0119] 即ち、電源系統が正常に作動している場合には、第 1増圧弁 43aが開放されると、 この第 1増圧弁 43aにより調圧された制御圧が切換弁 81に作用するため、この切換 弁 81により連結配管 48が閉止される。また、開閉弁 56によりバイパス配管 55が閉止 される。そのため、 ECU61は、 目標制御圧 Pに基づいて第 1増圧弁 43a及び第 1減 That is, when the power supply system is operating normally, when the first pressure increasing valve 43a is opened, the control pressure regulated by the first pressure increasing valve 43a acts on the switching valve 81. The connecting pipe 48 is closed by the switching valve 81. Further, the bypass pipe 55 is closed by the on-off valve 56. Therefore, the ECU 61 determines that the first pressure increase valve 43a and the first pressure decrease are based on the target control pressure P.

The connecting pipe 48 is opened by this switching valve 81 without acting. Further, the bypass pipe 55 is opened by the opening / closing valve 56. Therefore, when the occupant steps on the brake pedal 15, when the input piston 13 moves forward by a predetermined stroke S due to the operating force, the input piston 13 comes into contact with the pressure piston 14 and both pistons.
