ELECTRONIC CONTROL BRAKE SYSTEM
Disclosed herein is an electronic control brake system that has a compact structure while rapidly forming an oil pressure during active control and reducing pressure pulsation, simultaneously. The electronic control brake system includes a master cylinder assembly to provide braking force, a plurality of brake cylinders to achieve braking, first and second hydraulic circuits connecting the master cylinder and the plurality of brake cylinders to form a closed circuit, a pump unit installed in the first and second hydraulic circuits to achieve active control, and a motor to drive the pump unit. The pump unit includes first, second, third, and fourth pumps, the first pump and the second are respectively arranged in planes, being orthogonal with the rotary axis X of the motor, located in different layers in the direction of a rotary axis of the motor at an angular position of 0 degrees from the rotary axis of the motor, the third pump arranged in the same plane as the first pump at an angular position of 270 degrees from the rotary axis X of the motor, and the fourth pump is arranged in the same plane as the second pump at an angular position of 90 degrees from the rotary axis of the motor. The first pump and the third pump are connected to the first hydraulic circuit, and the second pump and the fourth pump are connected to the second hydraulic circuit.
