Vehicle driving force control device
View Patent ↗A vehicle driving force control device includes: a brake unit configured to generate a brake force of a vehicle; a stroke amount detecting unit configured to detect a stroke amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle; a monitoring unit configured to monitor whether generation of the brake force of the brake unit is abnormal; and a creep torque controlling unit configured to increase a reduction amount of a creep torque of the vehicle as the stroke amount increases, when the monitoring unit determines that the generation of the brake force in the brake unit is abnormal.
1. A vehicle driving force control device comprising:
a brake unit configured to generate a brake force of the vehicle;
a stroke amount detecting unit configured to detect a stroke amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle;
a monitoring unit configured to monitor whether generation of the brake force of the brake unit is abnormal; and
a creep torque controlling unit configured to output a creep torque of the vehicle generated by the stroke amount detecting unit, and increase a reduction amount of the creep torque of the vehicle as the stroke amount increases, when the monitoring unit determines that the generation of the brake force in the brake unit is abnormal.
2. The vehicle driving force control device according to claim 1 , wherein the creep torque controlling unit increases the reduction amount of the creep torque as the stroke amount increases in a range of a dead zone of the brake pedal.
3. The vehicle driving force control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the brake unit includes a boosting unit that assists a stepping force for the brake pedal based on the detected stroke amount, and
the monitoring unit determines that the generation of the brake force in the brake unit is abnormal when performance of the boosting unit is abnormal.
4. The vehicle driving force control device according to claim 3 , wherein
the brake unit includes a pressure generating unit that generates a pressure supplied to the boosting unit, and
the monitoring unit periodically drives the pressure generating unit even when the performance of the boosting unit is abnormal.
5. The vehicle driving force control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the brake unit generates the brake force by using a fluid pressure of a brake fluid and includes a fluid pressure detecting unit that detects the fluid pressure of the brake fluid, and
the monitoring unit determines that the generation of the brake force in the brake unit is abnormal when the detected fluid pressure of the brake fluid is reduction abnormal.
