Abstract

According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a brake oil reservoir for a vehicle comprising: an elongated link unit; a first reservoir tank coupled to a first end of the link unit, and including a float guide having a hollow portion and a float moving in the float guide; and a second reservoir tank coupled to a second end of the link unit, and coupled to be biased to one side with respect to a central axis of the link unit extending in a longitudinal direction.

Claims (30)

1. A brake oil reservoir for a vehicle comprising:

an elongated link unit;

a first reservoir tank coupled to a first end of the link unit, and including a float guide having a hollow portion and a float moving in the float guide in a first direction; and

a second reservoir tank having an inlet for replenishing brake oil at one end and coupled to a second end of the link unit at the other end, the second reservoir tank being coupled to be biased to one side, in a plan view orthogonal to the first direction, with respect to a central axis of the link unit extending in a longitudinal direction.

2. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the float guide is positioned to be biased in the same direction as a direction in which the second reservoir tank is biased with respect to the central axis of the link unit.

3. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the link unit, the first reservoir tank, and the second reservoir tank are integrated with each other.

4. A brake oil reservoir for a vehicle comprising:

an elongated link unit;

a first reservoir tank coupled to a first end of the link unit, and including a float guide having a hollow portion and a float moving in the float guide; and

a second reservoir tank coupled to a second end of the link unit, and coupled to be biased to one side with respect to a central axis of the link unit extending in a longitudinal direction,

wherein the first reservoir tank comprises a first upper body, a first central body, and a first lower body.

5. The brake oil reservoir of claim 4 , wherein the first upper body, the first central body, and the first lower body are welded to each other.

6. The brake oil reservoir of claim 4 , wherein the float guide has a cylindrical shape, and is injection molded from the first lower body in a direction perpendicular to the first lower body.

7. The brake oil reservoir of claim 4 , wherein the float guide and the first lower body are integrated with each other.

8. The brake oil reservoir of claim 4 , wherein the float guide is not welded to the first upper body.

9. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the float guide has on a side thereof a slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the float guide, and

the slit is positioned to be vertical to the longitudinal direction of the link unit, and is positioned in a direction opposite to the link unit.

10. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the first reservoir tank comprises a bulkhead formed to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the link unit.

11. The brake oil reservoir of claim 10 , wherein the first reservoir tank comprises a first chamber connected to the link unit with respect to the bulkhead, and a second chamber connected to the first chamber.

12. The brake oil reservoir of claim 10 , wherein the bulkhead comprises a rectangular slot that is configured to move brake oil in the first reservoir tank.

13. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein each of the first reservoir tank and the second reservoir tank comprises a plurality of inner walls.

14. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the second reservoir tank comprises a second upper body and a second lower body.

15. The brake oil reservoir of claim 14 , wherein the second upper body and the second lower body are welded to each other.

16. A brake oil reservoir for a vehicle comprising:

an elongated link unit;

a first reservoir tank coupled to a first end of the link unit, and including a float guide having a hollow portion and a float moving in the float guide; and

a second reservoir tank coupled to a second end of the link unit, and coupled to be biased to one side with respect to a central axis of the link unit extending in a longitudinal direction,

wherein the first reservoir tank comprises a sensor housing on an outer surface of a lower end of the float guide.

17. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the first reservoir tank comprises a plurality of outlets configured to discharge brake oil.

18. The brake oil reservoir of claim 1 , wherein the second reservoir tank comprises an inlet configured to replenish brake oil.
