Abstract

The invention has a purpose of obtaining a brake hydraulic pressure controller capable of attaching a coil casing to a base body with a simple configuration, a motorcycle brake system, and a manufacturing method of a brake hydraulic pressure controller. In the brake hydraulic pressure controller, at least one projected portion is provided in the coil casing, at least one hole portion is provided in a surface of the base body to which the coil casing is attached, the coil casing is attached to the base body in a state where the projected portion is inserted in the hole portion, the projected portion includes a hook portion that bulges in a direction to cross a projected direction of said projected portion, the coil casing is held by the base body when a part of the base body abuts a surface of a base-side region that is a region near a base of the projected portion with a top of a bulge of the hook portion being a reference.

Claims (42)

1. A brake hydraulic pressure controller comprising:

a base body ( 10 ) formed with a channel that is filled with a brake fluid therein;

a hydraulic pressure regulation valve ( 3 ) opening/closing the channel;

a drive coil ( 11 ) driving the hydraulic pressure regulation valve ( 3 ); and

a coil casing ( 12 ) accommodating the drive coil ( 11 ),

wherein a projected portion ( 90 ) is provided in the coil casing ( 12 ) and extends from a surface portion of the coil casing ( 12 ) in a first direction, and a hole portion ( 80 ) is provided in a surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ) to which the coil casing ( 12 ) is attached, the hole portion ( 80 ) being a blind hole,

wherein the projected portion ( 90 ) includes a back side extending along a length of the projected portion,

wherein the projected portion ( 90 ) includes a hook portion ( 91 ) positioned opposite from the back side and extending in a direction orthogonal to the first direction,

wherein the coil casing ( 12 ) is attached to the base body ( 10 ) in a state where the projected portion ( 90 ) is inserted in the hole portion ( 80 ) in the first direction such that the projected portion ( 90 ), including the hook portion ( 91 ), is positioned entirely within the hole portion ( 80 ), and a surface portion ( 40 ) of the coil casing ( 12 ) is held against the face ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ),

wherein, to hold the coil casing ( 12 ) against the base body ( 10 ), a deformed portion of the base body ( 10 ) abuts a surface ( 92 ) of the hook portion ( 91 ), and

wherein a part of the back side of the projected portion ( 90 ) abuts an inner surface ( 81 ) of the hole portion ( 80 ), the part of the back side of the projected portion ( 90 ) extending further into the hole portion ( 80 ) than the surface ( 92 ) extends into the hole portion ( 80 ).

2. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 1 , wherein

the surface ( 92 ) is inclined with respect to the first direction.

3. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 1 , wherein

the hook portion ( 91 ) is projected to an outer side edge orthogonal to the surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ).

4. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 1 , wherein

in the state of being seen in the orthogonal direction to the surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ), an outer periphery of the coil casing ( 12 ) has a rounded corner portion ( 95 ), and an outer periphery of the base body ( 10 ) has an angulated corner portion ( 85 ),

the projected portion ( 90 ) is provided in the rounded corner portion ( 95 ), and

the hole portion ( 80 ) is provided in the angulated corner portion ( 85 ).

5. A motorcycle brake system comprising:

the brake hydraulic pressure controller ( 1 ) according to claim 1 .

6. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 1 , wherein the projected portion ( 90 ) is provided at an edge of the surface portion ( 40 ).

7. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 1 , wherein the projected portion ( 90 ) is a first projected portion, wherein the hole portion ( 80 ) is a first hole portion, and wherein three additional projected portions are configured to hold the coil casing ( 12 ) to the base body ( 10 ) via three additional hole portions in the same manner that the first projected portion holds the coil casing ( 12 ) to the base body ( 10 ) via the first hole portion.

8. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 7 , wherein the four projected portions ( 90 ) are provided at different corners of the surface portion ( 40 ), the surface portion ( 40 ) being generally rectangular.

9. The brake hydraulic pressure controller according to claim 7 , wherein the four hole portions ( 80 ) are provided at different corners of the coil casing ( 12 ), the coil casing ( 12 ) being generally rectangular.

10. A manufacturing method of a brake hydraulic pressure controller ( 1 ), the brake hydraulic pressure controller ( 1 ) including:

a base body ( 10 ) formed with a channel that is filled with a brake fluid therein;

a hydraulic pressure regulation valve ( 3 ) opening/closing the channel;

a drive coil ( 11 ) driving the hydraulic pressure regulation valve ( 3 ); and

a coil casing ( 12 ) accommodating the drive coil ( 11 ),

at least one projected portion ( 90 ) being provided in the coil casing ( 12 ),

at least one hole portion ( 80 ) being provided in a surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ) to which the coil casing ( 12 ) is attached,

the projected portion ( 90 ) being provided at an edge of a surface portion ( 40 ) of the coil casing ( 12 ), the surface portion ( 40 ) opposing the surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ), and

the projected portion ( 90 ) including a hook portion ( 91 ) that bulges in a direction to cross a projected direction of said projected portion ( 90 ),

the manufacturing method of the brake hydraulic pressure controller ( 1 ) comprising:

a process of, in an inside region of the base body ( 10 ) in relation to the projected portion ( 90 ), adhering the surface portion ( 40 ) of the coil casing ( 12 ) to the surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ) in a state where at least a part of a back side of the hook portion ( 91 ) in a lateral portion of the projected portion ( 90 ) abuts an inner surface ( 81 ) of the hole portion ( 80 ); and

a process of, in an outside region of the base body ( 10 ) in relation to the projected portion ( 90 ), applying a pressure to the base body ( 10 ) to deform a part of the base body ( 10 ) so that the part of the base body ( 10 ) abuts against a surface ( 92 ) of a base-side region that is a region near a base of the projected portion ( 90 ) with a top of a bulge of the hook portion ( 91 ) being a reference in a state where the surface portion ( 40 ) is adhered to the surface ( 10 E) of the base body ( 10 ) in the inside region of the base body ( 10 ) in relation to the projected portion ( 90 ).
