Abstract

Disclosed is reservoir assembly for a brake system. The reservoir assembly for a brake system storing brake oil to supply the brake oil to a master cylinder, the reservoir assembly comprising: a first reservoir tank coupled to the master cylinder and having a first connection port at an upper portion; a second reservoir tank provided to be spaced apart from the top portion of the first reservoir tank at a predetermined interval and having an oil inlet at one side and a second connection port at the other side; and a connection member connecting the first connection port with the second connection port to transfer the brake oil from the second reservoir tank to the first reservoir tank.

Claims (20)

1. A reservoir assembly for a brake system storing brake oil to supply the brake oil to a master cylinder, the reservoir assembly comprising:

a reservoir tank having a reservoir chamber at an inside thereof and a connection port at an upper portion thereof to receive the brake oil therethrough, the connection port having an inclination with respect to the upper portion of the reservoir tank,

wherein a passage, communicating with the reservoir chamber and the connection port, is configured and arranged such that a width of a portion of the passage continuously increases in a flow direction of the brake oil.

2. The reservoir assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a barrier wall arranged to partition the inside of the reservoir tank into a first reservoir chamber and a second reservoir chamber.

3. The reservoir assembly of claim 2 , wherein the reservoir tank is coupled to the master cylinder, and

the first reservoir chamber and the second reservoir chamber respectively communicate with first and second pressure chambers of the master cylinder.

4. The reservoir assembly of claim 2 , wherein the barrier wall extends from an inner lower surface of the reservoir tank toward an inner upper surface of the reservoir tank.

5. The reservoir assembly of claim 2 , wherein the barrier wall is bent toward the first reservoir chamber or the second reservoir chamber.

6. A reservoir assembly for a brake system storing brake oil to supply the brake oil to a master cylinder, the reservoir assembly comprising:

a first reservoir tank coupled to the master cylinder and having a first connection port at an upper portion thereof, the first connection port having an inclination with respect to the upper portion of the first reservoir tank;

a second reservoir tank having an oil inlet at one side thereof and a second connection port at another side thereof; and

a connection member connecting the first connection port to the second connection port to transfer the brake oil of the second reservoir tank to the first reservoir tank,

wherein a passage, communicating with an inside of the first reservoir tank and the first connection port, is configured and arranged such that a width of a portion of the passage continuously increases in a flow direction of the brake oil.

7. The reservoir assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a barrier wall arranged to partition the inside of the first reservoir tank into a first reservoir chamber and a second reservoir chamber.

8. The reservoir assembly of claim 7 , wherein the barrier wall extends from an inner lower surface of the first reservoir tank toward an inner upper surface of the first reservoir tank.

9. The reservoir assembly of claim 7 , wherein the barrier wall is bent toward the first reservoir chamber or the second reservoir chamber.

10. The reservoir assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first reservoir chamber and the second reservoir chamber respectively communicate with first and second pressure chambers of the master cylinder.

11. The reservoir assembly of claim 6 , wherein the first reservoir tank and the second reservoir tank are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval,

the first connection port is inclined toward the second reservoir tank, and

the second connection port is inclined toward the first reservoir tank.
