Hydraulic unit of electronic control brake system
View Patent ↗A hydraulic unit of an electronic control brake system capable of achieving compactness of a modulator block by optimizing connection between components and valves, which are mounted in the modulator block, is disclosed. The hydraulic unit of an electronic control brake system includes a modulator block mounted with components to control braking hydraulic pressure applied to wheels of an automobile, including a plurality of inflow and outflow valves, a traction control valve, a shuttle valve, an accumulator, a pump and a motor. The modulator block is formed with oil lines thereinside to connect the components. The modulator block has a hexahedral shape. A wheel cylinder connecting part is disposed at a first surface of the modulator block, and a master cylinder connecting part is disposed at a second surface of the modulator block. Accordingly, a width of the surface, at which the wheel cylinder connecting part is disposed, can be decreased. Since the traction control valve is positioned above the shuttle valve at a rear surface of the modulator block, and the motor is positioned at a center portion of the modulator block, an overall size of the modulator block becomes compact.
1. A hydraulic unit of an electronic control brake system, comprising:
a modulator block mounted with components to control braking hydraulic pressure applied to wheels of an automobile, including a plurality of inflow and outflow valves, a traction control valve, an ESV valve, an accumulator, a pump and a motor, the modulator block being formed with oil lines there inside to connect the components,
wherein the modulator block has a hexahedral shape, and
the modulator block is provided with a wheel cylinder connecting part disposed at a first surface of the modulator block, and a master cylinder connecting part disposed at a second surface of the modulator block,
wherein the ESV valve is mounted on a bypass oil line which connects an outlet line of the master cylinder and an inlet line of the pump.
2. The hydraulic unit according to claim 1 , wherein the motor is mounted to the second surface of the modulator block.
3. The hydraulic unit according to claim 1 , wherein the master cylinder connecting part, the traction control valve, the inflow valves, the ESV valve/the pump/the motor, and the outflow valves are arranged in order from the above in the modulator block,
and wherein the master cylinder connecting part and the motor are positioned at the same surface of the modulator block, and
the traction control valve, the inflow valves, the ESV valve and the outflow valves are positioned at the same surface of the modulator block, valve and the outflow valves are positioned at the same surface of the modulator block.
