Integrated brake device for vehicle
View Patent ↗An integrated brake device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a master cylinder that generates a hydraulic pressure based on the operation of a pedal, a pedal simulator that provides a pedal stepping force to the pedal based on the hydraulic pressure, a motor that is driven based on displacement of the pedal, a pump that applies a braking pressure to wheels of the vehicle based on the driving of the motor, and a gear unit that converts rotational power of the motor into a linear motion of a piston included in the pump, wherein a rotating shaft of the motor is parallel to a direction of the linear motion of the piston.
1. An integrated brake device for a vehicle, comprising:
a master cylinder that generates a hydraulic pressure based on the operation of a pedal;
a pedal simulator that provides a pedal stepping force to the pedal based on the hydraulic pressure;
a motor that is driven based on displacement of the pedal;
a pump that applies a braking pressure to wheels of the vehicle based on the driving of the motor; and
a gear unit that converts rotational power of the motor into a linear motion of a piston included in the pump,
wherein the gear unit includes a worm wheel that includes a worm gear which meshes with a worm shaft of the motor and a pinion gear which is coupled coaxially with the worm gear, and a rack gear that conducts a linear motion while meshing with the pinion gear, and advances and retracts the piston of the pump,
wherein the gear unit includes a bearing that is installed in a direction facing the pinion gear and guides a linear motion of the rack gear, and
wherein a guide groove having a vertical width corresponding to a vertical width of the bearing is formed in a side surface of the rack gear which is brought into contact with the bearing.
2. The integrated brake device of claim 1 , wherein the pump and the gear unit are installed under the master cylinder.
3. The integrated brake device of claim 1 , wherein a rotating shaft of the motor is parallel to a direction of the linear motion of the piston.
4. An integrated brake device for a vehicle, comprising:
a master cylinder that generates a hydraulic pressure based on the operation of a pedal;
a pedal simulator that provides a pedal stepping force to the pedal based on the hydraulic pressure;
a motor that is driven based on displacement of the pedal;
a pump that applies a braking pressure to wheels of the vehicle based on the driving of the motor;
a gear unit that converts rotational power of the motor into a linear motion of a piston included in the pump; and
a valve block that includes a plurality of solenoid valves for regulating the flow of a fluid discharged from the master cylinder and the pump,
wherein the pedal simulator is located on one side of the master cylinder and the valve block is located on an opposite side of the master cylinder.
5. The integrated brake device of claim 4 , further comprising:
an ECU (electronic control unit) that controls one or more of the motor and the valve block,
wherein one side surface of the valve block is contacted with the other side surface of the master cylinder and an other side surface of the valve block is contacted with one side surface of the ECU.
6. The integrated brake device of claim 5 , wherein
the valve block is installed to be brought into contact with an upper portion of the one side surface of the ECU, and
one side of the motor is installed to be coupled to the gear unit, and the other side thereof is installed to be brought into contact with a lower portion of the one side surface of the ECU.
7. The integrated brake device of claim 6 , wherein a position sensor for detecting a rotor position of the motor is provided in the ECU.
