Abstract

An actuator for brake fluid pressure control includes a block formed with a brake pipe, an electric component provided on a surface of the block, a circuit board formed with an electric circuit for driving the electric component, and a case that houses the circuit board and includes a first open part in which the electric component is accommodated, the case having a top surface opposite the surface of the block across the circuit board and being fixed to the block at the side opposite to the top surface. An insertion hole is formed in a side surface of the case at a position corresponding to a plane position of the circuit board. The insertion hole is sized to enable inserting the circuit board into the case therethrough to be fixed to the case.

Claims (20)

1. An actuator for brake fluid pressure control comprising:

a block formed with a brake pipe;

an electric component provided on a surface of the block;

a circuit board formed with an electric circuit for driving the electric component; and

a case that houses the circuit board and includes a first open part in which the electric component is accommodated, the case having a top surface opposite the surface of the block across the circuit board and being fixed to the block at the side opposite to the top surface, characterized in that

an insertion hole is formed in a side surface of the case at a position corresponding to a plane position of the circuit board, the side surface being constituted by a wall surface extending from an outer edge of the top surface toward the block, the insertion hole being closed by a lid part, and

the insertion hole is sized to enable inserting the circuit board into the case therethrough to be fixed to the case.

2. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board includes an extended portion which laterally extends beyond the block when viewed in the direction normal to the surface of the block,

a connector electrically connected to the electric circuit is disposed in the extended portion, and

the case includes a second open part formed so as to cover the extended portion while causing the connector to be exposed therethrough.

3. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 2 , wherein the insertion hole is formed at a position opposite to the connector.

4. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board and the lid part are integrated in each other.

5. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 1 , further comprising a connector electrically connected to the electric circuit,

the circuit board, the connector and the lid part being integrated in one another.

6. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board is disposed so as to be parallel to the top surface,

a plurality of stays are provided so as to project from the top surface toward the circuit board, and

the circuit board is fixed to the case through the plurality of the stays.

7. The actuator for brake fluid pressure control according to claim 1 , wherein the case is made of metal.
