Electronic parking brake system and control method thereof
An electronic parking brake system includes an electronic parking brake, including an electric motor, and a controller configured to control the electric motor to engage the electronic parking brake, and when a vehicle motion detection signal is received from a black box through a controller area network (CAN) bus in a state where an ignition is turned off and the electronic parking brake is engaged, the controller is configured to re-engage the electronic parking brake.
1. An electronic parking brake system, comprising:
an electronic parking brake comprising a pair of brake pads disposed on both sides of a brake disc rotating with a rear wheel of a vehicle, a piston provided to press the pair of brake pads, a nut member provided to press the piston, a spindle member provided to move the nut member, and an electric motor configured to rotate the spindle member; and
a controller configured to control the electric motor to engage the electronic parking brake,
wherein, when a vehicle motion detection signal is received from a black box through a controller area network (CAN) bus in a state where an ignition is turned off and the electronic parking brake is engaged, the controller is configured to re-engage the electronic parking brake.
2. The electronic parking brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to switch from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode according to the received vehicle motion detection signal.
3. The electronic parking brake system of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to determine a degree of movement of the vehicle from the received vehicle motion detection signal, and switch from the sleep mode to the wake-up mode according to the determined degree of movement.
4. The electronic parking brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises a processor, a power circuit, a power switch, an OR circuit, and a driving circuit,
the power circuit is configured to generate an operating power from a power provided from a battery and provide the operating power to the processor and the driving circuit,
the power switch is provided between the battery and the power circuit and configured to supply battery power from the battery to the power circuit or block the battery power,
the OR circuit is configured to turn on or off the power switch according to a control signal of the processor,
the driving circuit is configured to drive the electric motor according to the control signal of the processor, and
when the vehicle motion detection signal is received from the black box through the CAN bus in the state where the ignition is turned off and the electronic parking brake is engaged, the processor is configured to turn on the power switch through the OR circuit to receive the operating power from the power circuit.
5. A control method of an electronic parking brake system configured to control an electronic parking brake comprising a pair of brake pads disposed on both sides of a brake disc rotating with a rear wheel of a vehicle, a piston provided to press the pair of brake pads, a nut member provided to press the piston, a spindle member provided to move the nut member, and an electric motor configured to rotate the spindle member, the control method comprising:
when a vehicle motion detection signal is received from a black box through a CAN bus in a state where an ignition is turned off and the electronic parking brake is engaged, re-engaging the electronic parking brake.
6. The control method of claim 5 , wherein the re-engaging of the electronic parking brake comprises switching from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode according to the received vehicle motion detection signal.
7. The control method of claim 6 , wherein the re-engaging of the electronic parking brake comprises determining a degree of movement of the vehicle from the received vehicle motion detection signal, and switching from the sleep mode to the wake-up mode according to the determined degree of movement.
