Brake master cylinder
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a brake master cylinder. The brake cylinder includes a cylinder body, a first piston and a second piston that are provided in the cylinder body so as to perform a reciprocating motion, and a hall sensor installed outside the cylinder body and configured to sense operations of the first and second pistons to control on/off of a brake lamp. The brake master cylinder is provided with a magnet installed on the first piston, and a rotation preventing member configured to limit rotation of the first piston, wherein as rotation of the first piston is limited, the magnet is installed at a portion of the first piston that faces the hall sensor.
1. A brake master cylinder, comprising:
a cylinder body;
a first piston and a second piston that are provided in the cylinder body so as to perform a reciprocating motion;
a hall sensor installed outside the cylinder body and configured to sense operations of the first and second pistons to control on/off of a brake lamp;
a magnet installed on the first piston; and
a rotation preventing member configured to limit rotation of the first piston,
wherein, the magnet is installed at a portion of the first piston that faces the hall sensor,
wherein the rotation preventing member comprises a guide groove formed lengthwise along an inner circumferential surface of the first piston; and a fixing member fixed to the cylinder body and provided with a guide rod inserted into the guide groove, and
wherein the fixing member comprises a fixing part mounted on the cylinder body; a body part extending from the fixing part to surround an outer circumferential surface of the first piston; and the guide rod provided at a position of the body part that corresponds to a position of the guide groove.
2. The brake master cylinder of claim 1 , wherein the guide rod has a length corresponding to a length of the guide groove, and
the guide groove and the guide rod have predetermined lengths that prevent the guide rod from being separated from the guide groove during reciprocation of the first piston.
3. The brake master cylinder of claim 1 , wherein the body part is spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the first piston to prevent reciprocation of the first piston from being disrupted by the body part.
4. The brake master cylinder of claim 1 , wherein the guide rod is integrally formed with the body part by bentedly extending from a portion of the body part.
