Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electromechanical brake system and a method of controlling the same, and according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the method of controlling the electromechanical brake system may include calculating a required fluid amount according to an actual pressure required for brake oil required to generate a braking force by the motor, calculating a ratio of the calculated required fluid amount and a required fluid amount reference according to a map, and applying the required fluid amount as the required fluid amount reference according to the calculated ratio.

Claims (14)

1. An electromechanical brake system comprising:

a temperature sensor configured to measure one or more of a brake oil temperature and an outside air temperature;

a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure for a required fluid amount depending on an actual pressure for brake oil required to generate a braking force by a motor; and

a controller configured to determine whether to monitor the required fluid amount based on the pressure for the required fluid amount, and one or more of a brake temperature estimated by the temperature sensor and the outside air temperature, and in response to monitoring of the required fluid amount, calculate a ratio of the required fluid amount and a required fluid amount reference according to a map and the required fluid amount,

wherein the controller is configured to monitor the required fluid amount when the brake temperature is lower than a set first temperature and the outside air temperature is higher than a set second temperature.

2. The electromechanical brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller applies the required fluid amount as the required fluid amount reference according to the ratio of the required fluid amount and the required fluid amount reference according to the map.

3. The electromechanical brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller monitors the required fluid amount in cases in which the required fluid amount is continuously changed.

4. The electromechanical brake system of claim 3 , wherein the cases in which the required fluid amount is continuously changed are cases excluding a case in which the brake temperature is higher than the set first temperature and a case in which the outside air temperature is lower than the set second temperature.

5. The electromechanical brake system of claim 3 , wherein the cases in which the required fluid amount is continuously changed are cases excluding one or more among a case in which the required fluid amount is actively increased by a driver, a case in which a vehicle suddenly decelerates, and a case in which a brake oil pressure is low.

6. The electromechanical brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller determines whether the required fluid amount is applicable as the required fluid amount reference, and applies the required fluid amount as the required fluid amount reference.

7. The electromechanical brake system of claim 6 , wherein the controller determines that the ratio of the required fluid amount and the required fluid amount reference is applicable when calculated in a plurality of sections divided according to the pressure.

8. The electromechanical brake system of claim 6 , wherein the controller determines that the ratio of the required fluid amount and the required fluid amount reference is applicable when calculated multiple times in one or more among a plurality of sections divided according to the pressure.

9. The electromechanical brake system of claim 6 , wherein the controller determines that the ratio of the required fluid amount and the required fluid amount reference is applicable when a traveling distance of a vehicle to which the braking force is provided by the motor is a predetermined distance or more.

10. The electromechanical brake system of claim 6 , wherein the controller determines that the ratio is applicable when a traveling distance of a vehicle to which the braking force is provided by the motor is a predetermined distance or more after the required fluid amount has been applied as the required fluid amount reference.
