Electric drum brake system and control method thereof
Provided is an electric drum brake system, including: an electric drum brake configured to be driven by an electric motor; a current sensor configured to detect a current input to the electric motor; and a controller configured to, when parking is released, determine a parking release time based on a temperature of the electric drum brake, and when a maintenance time reaches the determined parking release time, end a parking release operation by stopping the electric motor, the maintenance time being a period of time while a state where a motor current detected by the current sensor reaches a target current is maintained.
1. An electric drum brake system, comprising:
an electric drum brake configured to be driven by an electric motor;
a current sensor configured to detect a current input to the electric motor; and
a controller configured to, when parking is released, determine a parking release time based on a temperature of the electric drum brake, and when a maintenance time reaches the determined parking release time, end a parking release operation by stopping the electric motor, the maintenance time being a period of time while a state where a motor current detected by the current sensor reaches a target current is maintained,
wherein the controller is configured to determine the parking release time based on a temperature of a drum of the electric drum brake such that the parking release time increases as the temperature of the drum of the electric drum brake increases,
wherein the electric drum brake includes a pair of brake shoes, the drum, and an electric actuator, the pair of brake shoes in an arc shape are installed movably along a surface of a backing plate coupled to a vehicle body, the drum having an inner circumferential friction surface rotates with the wheel, and the electric actuator applies force to each of the pair of brake shoes in a direction of expanding the pair of brake shoes, and
wherein one end of each of the pair of brake shoes facing each other is connected to the electric actuator installed on the backing plate, and another end of each of the pair of brake shoes is connected to each of pins of an anchor member fixed to the backing plate such that the pair of brake shoes do not rotate with the drum.
2. The electric drum brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the parking release time when the temperature of the drum is high to be longer than the parking release time when the temperature of the drum is low.
3. A control method of an electric drum brake system including an electric drum brake driven by an electric motor, the control method comprising:
when parking is released, determining a parking release time based on a temperature of the electric drum brake, and
when a maintenance time reaches the determined parking release time, ending a parking release operation by stopping the electric motor, the maintenance time being a period of time while a state where a motor current input to the electric motor reaches a target current is maintained,
wherein the determining of the parking release time determines the parking release time based on a temperature of a drum of the electric drum brake such that the parking release time increases as the temperature of the drum of the electric drum brake increases,
wherein the electric drum brake includes a pair of brake shoes, the drum, and an electric actuator, the pair of brake shoes in an arc shape are installed movably along a surface of a backing plate coupled to a vehicle body, the drum having an inner circumferential friction surface rotates with the wheel, and the electric actuator applies force to each of the pair of brake shoes in a direction of expanding the pair of brake shoes, and
wherein one end of each of the pair of brake shoes facing each other is connected to the electric actuator installed on the backing plate, and another end of each of the pair of brake shoes is connected to each of pins of an anchor member fixed to the backing plate such that the pair of brake shoes do not rotate with the drum.
4. The control method of claim 3 , wherein the determining of the parking release time determines the parking release time when the temperature of the drum is high to be longer than the parking release time when the temperature of the drum is low.
