2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional device of this type, for example, a device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-50910 can be cited. In this vehicle hydraulic brake device, any two wheel brakes out of four front, rear, left and right wheel brakes, for example, a left front wheel (driving wheel) brake and a right rear wheel brake are used as two pressure chambers of a tandem master cylinder. To one of the two pressure chambers of the master cylinder and the remaining right front wheel brake (driving wheel) and left rear wheel brake to the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder. It has an actuator. The actuator disposed in the one-side brake fluid passage includes a normally open first electromagnetic cutoff valve capable of cutting off the left front wheel brake from the one pressure chamber, and a left front cutoff from the one pressure chamber by the first electromagnetic cutoff valve. Wheel brakes first
A normally closed second electromagnetic shutoff valve connectable to the low pressure reservoir, a first electric pump capable of pumping the brake fluid in the first low pressure reservoir to the left front wheel brake, and a right rear wheel brake shut off from the one pressure chamber. Possible normally open third solenoid shutoff valve,
A normally closed fourth electromagnetic cutoff valve capable of connecting the right rear wheel brake, which is cut off from the one pressure chamber by the third electromagnetic cutoff valve, to the second low pressure reservoir, and the brake fluid in the second low pressure reservoir to the right rear wheel. And a second electric pump for returning to the brake. The actuator disposed in the other brake fluid pressure passage disconnects the front right wheel brake from the one pressure chamber by a normally open fifth electromagnetic cutoff valve and the fifth electromagnetic cutoff valve. A normally closed sixth electromagnetic cutoff valve capable of connecting the right front wheel brake to the third low pressure reservoir, a third electromagnetic pump capable of pumping the brake fluid in the third low pressure reservoir to the right front wheel brake, and a left rear wheel brake. A normally open seventh electromagnetic cutoff valve that can be cut off from the other pressure chamber, and a normally closed eighth electromagnetically cutoff valve that can connect the left rear wheel brake that is cut off from the other pressure chamber by the seventh electromagnetic cutoff valve to the fourth low pressure reservoir. An electromagnetic cutoff valve and a fourth electric pump for returning the brake fluid in the fourth low pressure reservoir to the left rear wheel brake are provided. The first to fourth electric pumps are driven by a single electric motor.

Although not disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 5-50910, in order to prevent the brake fluid pressure of each wheel brake from exceeding the pressure in the pressure chamber of the master cylinder, the wheel is generally used. A check valve that allows only the flow of brake fluid from the brake side to the pressure chamber side is arranged in parallel with each of the first electromagnetic cutoff valve, the third electromagnetic cutoff valve, the fifth electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the seventh electromagnetic cutoff valve. It is set up.

In the conventional apparatus having such a structure, when reducing the brake fluid pressure of any one wheel brake, for example, the left front wheel brake during vehicle braking, the first electromagnetic shutoff valve is operated to operate the left front wheel brake. By disconnecting the one front pressure chamber and operating the second electromagnetic shut-off valve to connect the left front wheel brake to the first low pressure reservoir, the brake fluid in the left front wheel brake is discharged to the first low pressure reservoir,
When the brake fluid pressure of the left front wheel brake is to be increased again, the operation of the second electromagnetic shutoff valve is released and the brake fluid in the first low pressure reservoir is pumped to the left front wheel brake by the first pump (antilock control. It can be performed).

In a hydraulic brake system for an FR vehicle (front engine / rear drive vehicle), generally, a left rear wheel brake and a right rear wheel brake, which are drive wheel brakes, are provided in one pressure chamber of a master cylinder and also driven. The left front wheel brake and the right front wheel brake, which are wheel brakes, are connected to the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder by a brake fluid passage, and the actuator is inserted in each of these brake fluid passages.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, when the brake fluid pressure of each wheel brake is controlled (reduced pressure or re-increase pressure), the wheel brake is cut off from the pressure chamber of the master cylinder. Compared to the method in which the brake fluid once discharged from the wheel brakes to the low pressure reservoir is returned to the pressure chamber side of the master cylinder, the brake pedal operation feeling is better (there is no brake pedal pushing back phenomenon), and both pressure chambers of the master cylinder are Locked type (a structure in which the pressure chamber is shut off from the reservoir when the position of the piston cup exceeds the position of the compensating port of the cylinder body during operation) can be used, and the load on the pump and electric motor is reduced. It has the advantage of being small.
In addition, a solenoid valve that is normally open for one wheel brake,
Since a normally closed electromagnetic shutoff valve, low pressure reservoir and pump are provided, brake fluid pressure control for each wheel brake can be performed independently, and the brake fluid flow rate to be returned to each wheel brake can be set individually. Even if all the pumps are driven by the electric motor, there is an advantage that the pressure increasing speed of the front wheel brake and the pressure increasing speed of the rear wheel brake can be arbitrarily set.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, in order to independently reduce and increase the brake fluid pressure of the two wheel brakes connected to one pressure chamber of the master cylinder, two low pressure reservoirs, two electric pumps and 4 The cost is high because it requires a solenoid shutoff valve.

Further, the above-mentioned conventional device cannot supply the brake fluid to the wheel brakes when the brake operation is not performed, so that the drive wheel brakes prevent the drive wheels from idling when the vehicle starts or accelerates. It is not possible to perform the brake traction control that is prevented by operating the.

According to the invention of this application, the left rear wheel (driving wheel) brake and the right rear wheel (driving wheel) brake among the four front, rear, left and right wheel brakes are provided in the master cylinder.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle hydraulic brake device that can be manufactured at low cost.

[0013]

In the vehicle hydraulic brake device according to the first aspect, when the brake operation is performed to brake the vehicle,
Brake fluid from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder is pumped to the left rear wheel brake through the solenoid switching valve and solenoid cutoff valve, and at the same time is pumped to the right rear wheel brake through the solenoid switching valve and solenoid shutoff valve to correspond to the brake operating force. The brake fluid pressure is applied to the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake, and the braking force corresponding to the brake operating force is applied to the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel. At that time, the brake fluid is prevented from flowing into the low-pressure reservoir by the electromagnetic switching valve and the check valve.

When the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake are reduced during vehicle braking, the electric pump is operated and the electromagnetic switching valve is operated at the same time. By operating the electromagnetic switching valve, the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake are shut off from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder, connected to the suction side of the electric pump via the electromagnetic shutoff valve, and connected to the electromagnetic shutoff valve and the electromagnetic shutoff valve. It is connected to a low pressure reservoir via a switching valve. As a result, the brake fluid in the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake flow through the electromagnetic shutoff valve to the suction side of the electric pump and the low pressure reservoir. The brake fluid flowing out to the suction side of the electric pump and the low-pressure reservoir is pumped to the left rear wheel brake through the check valve and the orifice by the operation of the electric pump, and at the same time is pumped to the right rear wheel brake through the check valve and the orifice. , The flow rate of the brake fluid that is pumped from the electric pump to each of the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake is throttled by the orifice and flows from the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake to the suction side of the electric pump and the low pressure reservoir. The brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake are sharply reduced because the brake fluid flow rate is much smaller than the brake fluid flow rate. The check valve and the orifice arranged between the discharge side of the electric pump and each of the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake have brake fluid discharged from the electric pump on the left rear wheel brake side and the right rear wheel brake side. It ensures that the flow is divided into two.

During vehicle braking, the electromagnetic switching valve and the electric pump are operated, and the electromagnetic shutoff valve between the electromagnetic switching valve and the left rear wheel brake and / or between the electromagnetic switching valve and the right rear wheel brake is provided. When the electromagnetic shut-off valve is activated, the brake fluid is prevented from flowing from the inside of the left rear wheel brake and / or the inside of the right rear wheel brake to the suction side of the electric pump and the low pressure reservoir, and to the suction side of the electric pump and the low pressure reservoir. The leaked brake fluid is pumped to the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake by the operation of the electric pump, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake is gradually increased. Is pressed.

During vehicle braking, at the same time when the operation of the electromagnetic switching valve is released, the operation of the electromagnetic cutoff valve between the electromagnetic switching valve and the left rear wheel brake and / or between the electromagnetic switching valve and the right rear wheel brake is performed. When the solenoid shutoff valve is released, brake fluid is pumped from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder to the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake. The brake fluid pressure of the wheel brakes is rapidly increased. At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the rear wheel brake on the side where the electromagnetic cutoff valve is continuously operated is gradually increased.

Since the brake operating force is reduced while the vehicle is being braked and the actuator is operating, the hydraulic pressure in one pressure chamber of the master cylinder is reduced, and the brake hydraulic pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake is reduced. When the brake fluid pressure in the wheel brake becomes higher than the fluid pressure in the pressure chamber, the brake fluid in the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake is applied to the check valve and the pressure response cutoff valve or the electromagnetic cutoff valve. To the pressure chamber on the one hand, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake is reduced to the fluid pressure on the one pressure chamber.

The presence of the check valve, which allows only the flow of brake fluid from the low pressure reservoir to the suction side of the electric pump, prevents the brake fluid from flowing into the low pressure reservoir during vehicle braking when the actuator does not operate. Then, the brake fluid remaining in the low pressure reservoir when the operated solenoid operated directional control valve is released is returned to the master cylinder when the brake operation is released.

In a state where the brake operation is not performed, such as when the vehicle starts or accelerates, an electromagnetic cutoff valve and / or an electromagnetic switching valve between the electromagnetic switching valve and the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake are provided. Between the electromagnetic switching valve and the electromagnetic switching valve, the outlet of the check valve in parallel with the electromagnetic switching valve is shut off from one pressure chamber by the pressure response shutoff valve or the electromagnetic shutoff valve, and the electric pump is When actuated, the electric pump draws the brake fluid in one pressure chamber of the master cylinder through the electromagnetic switching valve to pump it to the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake,
Since the outflow of brake fluid from the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake is blocked, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake is increased, and the left rear wheel and / Or braking force is applied to the right rear wheel. At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake can be reduced and increased by activating and deactivating the electromagnetic cutoff valve between the electromagnetic switching valve and the left rear wheel brake. The hydraulic pressure can be reduced or increased by activating and deactivating the electromagnetic cutoff valve between the electromagnetic switching valve and the right rear wheel brake.

In the vehicle hydraulic brake device of the second aspect, the electric pump sucks the brake fluid in the low pressure reservoir through the electromagnetic switching valve, which is different from the action of the vehicle hydraulic brake device of the first aspect. , Other actions are claims 1
This is the same as the vehicle hydraulic brake device of.

According to another aspect of the hydraulic brake device for a vehicle of the present invention, when the brake operation is performed to brake the vehicle, the brake fluid is discharged from the one pressure chamber of the master cylinder to the first brake fluid.
The brake fluid pressure corresponding to the brake operation force is sent to the left rear wheel brake through the electromagnetic cutoff valve and the first check valve and to the left rear wheel brake through the first electromagnetic cutoff valve and the second check valve. The rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake are applied, and the braking force corresponding to the brake operation force is applied to the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel. At that time, the brake fluid is prevented from flowing into the low-pressure reservoir by the second electromagnetic cutoff valve, the third electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the seventh check valve.

When the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake are reduced during vehicle braking, the electric pump is actuated and at the same time the first electromagnetic shutoff valve, the second electromagnetic shutoff valve, and The third electromagnetic cutoff valve is activated. The left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake are disconnected from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder by the operation of the first electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the left rear wheel brake is connected to the low pressure reservoir by the operation of the second electromagnetic cutoff valve. Activation of the shutoff valve connects the rear right wheel brake to the low pressure reservoir. As a result, the brake fluid in the left rear wheel brake flows out to the low pressure reservoir through the second electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake flows out to the low pressure reservoir through the third electromagnetic cutoff valve. . The brake fluid flowing out to the low-pressure reservoir is pumped to the left rear wheel brake through the check valve and the orifice by the operation of the electric pump, and at the same time is pumped to the right rear wheel brake through the check valve and the orifice. The flow rate of the brake fluid that is pumped to each of the wheel brakes and the right rear wheel brakes is much smaller than the flow rate of the brake fluid that is throttled by the orifices and flows out from each of the left rear wheel brakes and the right rear wheel brakes to the low pressure reservoir. The brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake are suddenly reduced.

When the operation of the first electromagnetic cutoff valve and the operation of the electric pump are continued and the operation of the second electromagnetic cutoff valve and / or the operation of the third electromagnetic switching valve is released during vehicle braking, the left The brake fluid is prevented from flowing from the inside of the rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake to the low pressure reservoir, and the brake fluid flowing to the low pressure reservoir is actuated by the electric pump to the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake. As a result, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake is gradually increased.

When the operation of the first electromagnetic switching valve is released during vehicle braking, brake fluid is pumped from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder to the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake to brake the left rear wheel brake. The hydraulic pressure and the brake hydraulic pressure of the right rear wheel brake are rapidly increased.

Since the brake operating force is reduced while the vehicle is being braked and the actuator is operating, the hydraulic pressure in one pressure chamber of the master cylinder is reduced, and the brake hydraulic pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake is reduced. When the brake fluid pressure in the wheel brake becomes higher than the fluid pressure in the pressure chamber, the brake fluid in the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake is applied to the fifth check valve and / or the sixth check valve. Flow through the valve and the pressure response cutoff valve or the fourth electromagnetic cutoff valve into one pressure chamber, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake is reduced to the fluid pressure in the one pressure chamber. To be done.

The brake fluid in the low-pressure reservoir returns to the master cylinder through the seventh check valve and the first electromagnetic cutoff valve when the operation of the first electromagnetic cutoff valve is canceled and the brake operation is canceled.

In a state where the brake operation is not performed, such as when the vehicle is starting or accelerating, the outlets of the fifth check valve and the sixth check valve are operated by the pressure response cutoff valve or the fourth electromagnetic cutoff valve so that one pressure is applied. When the electric pump is cut off from the chamber and the electric pump is operated, the electric pump sucks the brake fluid in one pressure chamber of the master cylinder through the first electromagnetic cutoff valve and pumps it to the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake. On the other hand, the outflow of brake fluid from the left rear wheel brake and / or the right rear wheel brake causes the first check valve, the second check valve, the second electromagnetic cutoff valve, the third electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the pressure response cutoff valve or the first check valve. 4 Since it is blocked by the electromagnetic shut-off valve, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake is increased, and the left rear wheel and / or
Alternatively, braking force is applied to the right rear wheel. At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake can be reduced and increased by activating and deactivating the second electromagnetic cutoff valve, and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake activates the third electromagnetic cutoff valve. The pressure can be reduced and increased by releasing the operation.

As described above, in the vehicle hydraulic brake device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the actuator for individually controlling the brake hydraulic pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake hydraulic pressure of the right rear wheel brake is provided. A configuration in which the brake fluid of each wheel brake is discharged to a single low-pressure reservoir, and the brake fluid in this low-pressure reservoir is shunted to each wheel brake by a single electric pump, two check valves and two orifices. Therefore, while maintaining the above-mentioned advantages of the conventional device having a configuration in which the brake fluid of each wheel brake is caused to flow out to an individual low-pressure reservoir and the brake fluid in these low-pressure reservoirs is pressure-fed to each wheel brake by an individual electric pump, It can be provided at a lower cost than.

Then, at the time of starting the vehicle in which the brake operation is not performed, the brake fluid in the master cylinder is pumped to the left rear wheel brake and the right rear wheel brake by activating the electric pump and the electromagnetic cutoff valve. The brake fluid pressure of the wheel brake can be increased, and the brake traction control can be performed.

Further, one solenoid valve for reducing or increasing the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake during vehicle braking is provided.
This can be performed by a port 2 position electromagnetic switching valve and two 2 port 2 position electromagnetic cutoff valves, or three 2 port 2 position electromagnetic cutoff valves. One 2 port 2 position pressure responsive cutoff valve or electromagnetic cutoff Since the brake traction control can be performed by adding the valve, the cost can be reduced.

By the operation of the electromagnetic switching valve 32, the brake fluid in the left front wheel brake 16 flows through the electromagnetic cutoff valve 34 and the electromagnetic switching valve 32 to the low pressure reservoir 33, and the brake fluid pressure of the left front wheel brake 16 is rapidly reduced. The brake fluid flowing out to the low-pressure reservoir 33 is pressure-fed to the left front wheel brake 16 by the electric pump 40 driven by the electric motor 43 via the check valve 36 and the orifice 37.
Therefore, the flow rate of the brake fluid flowing from the front left wheel brake 16 to the low pressure reservoir 33 is much larger than the flow rate of the brake fluid pumped to the front left wheel brake 16 through the check valve 36 and the orifice 37.
The brake fluid pressure is continuously reduced rapidly. The brake fluid in the low-pressure reservoir 33 is transferred to the check valve 38 by the electric pump 40.
Also, the pressure is also sent to the right front wheel brake 17 through the orifice 39, and the brake fluid pressure of the right front wheel brake 17 is gradually increased. The brake fluid pressure of the front right wheel brake 17 is
When the brake fluid pressure of the right front wheel brake 17 becomes higher than the fluid pressure of the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12, the brake fluid of the right front wheel brake 17 returns to the master cylinder 12 side through the check valve 42. On the other hand, it does not exceed the hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber.

When the electronic control unit also tends to lock the front right wheel and determines that the brake fluid pressure of the front right wheel brake 17 needs to be reduced, the electronic control unit releases the operation of the electromagnetic shutoff valve 35. By releasing the operation of the electromagnetic cutoff valve 35, the brake fluid in the front right wheel brake 17 flows out to the low pressure reservoir 33 through the electromagnetic cutoff valve 35 and the electromagnetic switching valve 32 sequentially, and the brake fluid pressure of the rear right wheel brake 17 is rapidly reduced. It The brake fluid flowing out to the low-pressure reservoir 33 is the electric motor 4
The electric pump 40 driven by 3 sends pressure to the right rear wheel brake 17 via the check valve 38 and the orifice 39, but the electric pump 40 sends pressure to the front right wheel brake 17 through the check valve 38 and the orifice 39. Since the flow rate of the brake fluid flowing from the front right wheel brake 17 to the low pressure reservoir 33 is much larger than the flow rate of the brake fluid, the brake fluid pressure of the front right wheel brake 17 is continuously rapidly reduced.

The electronic control unit determines that the lock tendency of the front left wheel and / or the lock front wheel of the right front wheel is eliminated and that the brake fluid pressure of the front left wheel brake 16 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the front right wheel brake 17 needs to be gradually increased. In this case, the electronic control unit activates the electromagnetic shutoff valve 34 and / or the electromagnetic shutoff valve 35. Electromagnetic shutoff valve 34 and /
Alternatively, the front left wheel brake 1 is activated by the operation of the electromagnetic shutoff valve 35.
6 and / or the brake fluid from the front right wheel brake 17 to the low pressure reservoir 33 is blocked, so that the brake fluid pressure of the front left wheel brake 16 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the front right wheel brake 17 is the brake fluid from the electric pump 40. The pressure is gradually increased by pressure feeding. Front left wheel brake 1
6 brake fluid pressure and / or right front wheel brake 17
The brake fluid pressure of the left front wheel brake 16 and / or the right front wheel brake is higher when the brake fluid pressure of the left front wheel brake 16 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right front wheel brake 17 becomes higher than the fluid pressure of the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12. Since the brake fluid of 17 returns to the master cylinder 12 side through the check valve 41 and / or the check valve 42, it does not exceed the fluid pressure of the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12.

The electronic control unit completely eliminates the locking tendency of the front left wheel and / or the front right wheel, and brakes the front left wheel 1
6 brake fluid pressure and / or right front wheel brake 17
When it is determined that the brake hydraulic pressure is required to be rapidly increased, the electronic control unit deactivates the electromagnetic switching valve 32 and deactivates the electromagnetic cutoff valve 34 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 35. As a result, the brake fluid from the other pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 flows to the left front wheel brake 1
6 and / or the front right wheel brake 17, and the brake fluid pressure of the left front wheel brake 16 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right front wheel brake 17 is rapidly increased. At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the wheel brake 16 or 17 on the side where the electromagnetic cutoff valve 34 or 35 is operated is gradually increased.

During operation of the actuator 18, the electronic control unit tends to lock the left rear wheel and / or the right rear wheel, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right front wheel brake 14 is reduced. When it is determined to be necessary, the electronic control unit operates the electromagnetic switching valve 20 and the electromagnetic cutoff valve 22 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 21. The brake fluid in the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake 14 is electromagnetically shut off by the operation of the electromagnetic switching valve 20 and the electromagnetic shutoff valve 22 and / or the electromagnetic shutoff valve 21. When it flows out to the suction side of the electric pump 27 through the valve 22, it sequentially flows through the electromagnetic cutoff valve 21 or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 22 and the electromagnetic switching valve 20 and flows out to the low pressure reservoir 19, and the brake fluid of the left rear wheel brake 13 is discharged. Pressure and / or brake fluid pressure of the rear right wheel brake 14 is rapidly reduced. The brake fluid that has flowed out to the suction side of the electric pump 27 and the low-pressure reservoir 19 is pumped to the left rear wheel brake 13 via the check valve 23 and the orifice 24 by the electric pump 27 driven by the electric motor 43, and at the same time, the check valve. 25
The brake fluid flow rate and the check valve 25 and the orifice 26, which are pressure-fed to the right rear wheel brake 14 through the check valve 23 and the orifice 26, but are pressure-fed to the left front wheel brake 13 through the check valve 23 and the orifice 24 by the electric pump 27.
The flow rate of the brake fluid that is pressure-fed to the front right wheel brake 14 through the solenoid valve is the flow rate of the brake fluid that flows out from the front left wheel brake 13 through the electromagnetic shutoff valve 21, and the flow rate of the brake fluid that flows out from the front right wheel brake 14 through the solenoid shutoff valve 22. Much less than the left rear wheel brake 1
3 brake fluid pressure and / or right front wheel brake 14
The brake fluid pressure is continuously reduced rapidly. At that time, the wheel brake 1 on the side of the operated electromagnetic shutoff valve 21 or 22.
Reference numeral 3 or 14 is for gradually increasing the pressure by the brake fluid being pressure-fed by the electric pump in a state where the brake fluid outflow is blocked, and the brake fluid pressure of the wheel brakes 13, 14 is one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12. When the hydraulic pressure becomes higher than the hydraulic pressure of 1, the brake fluid of the wheel brakes 13 and 14 returns to the master cylinder 12 side through the check valves 28 and 29, and therefore does not exceed the hydraulic pressure of one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12.

The electronic control device eliminates the tendency of the left rear wheel to lock and / or the right rear wheel to lock, so that the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 is gradually increased. If it is determined that is necessary, the electromagnetic cutoff valve 21 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 22 is operated by the electronic control unit. Electromagnetic shutoff valve 21 and /
Alternatively, the left rear wheel brake 1 is activated by the operation of the electromagnetic shutoff valve 22.
3 and / or the brake fluid outflow from the right rear wheel brake 14 to the low pressure reservoir 19 is blocked, so that the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 is supplied from the electric pump 27. The pressure is gradually increased by pumping the brake fluid. The electronic control unit determines that the locking tendency of the left rear wheel and / or the right rear wheel is completely eliminated and that the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 needs to be rapidly increased. Occasionally, the solenoid control valve 20 is controlled by the electronic control unit.
The operation of the electromagnetic shutoff valve 21 and / or the operation of the electromagnetic shutoff valve 22 is released. As a result, brake fluid is pumped from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 to the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the right rear wheel brake 14, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the brake of the right rear wheel brake 14 is applied. The hydraulic pressure increases rapidly.

At the time of starting or accelerating the vehicle, the electronic control unit determines that the left rear wheel and / or the right rear wheel has a tendency to slip, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the right rear wheel brake. When it is determined that the brake hydraulic pressure of 14 is required to be rapidly increased, the electronic control unit operates the electromagnetic cutoff valve 21 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 22 and the electric motor 43. Pressure response shutoff valve 3
Since 0 is closed, the electromagnetic shutoff valve 21 is actuated to prevent the outflow of brake fluid from the left rear wheel brake 13, and the electromagnetic shutoff valve 22 is actuated to brake the right rear wheel brake 14. Liquid outflow is prevented. The electric pump 27 draws in the brake fluid in one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 through the electromagnetic switching valve 20 and pumps it to the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14, so that the operated electromagnetic cutoff valves 21 and / or 22 are operated. The brake fluid pressure of the side wheel brakes 13 and / or 14 is increased, and braking force is applied to the left rear wheel and / or the right rear wheel. At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 can be independently reduced and increased by operating the electromagnetic shutoff valve 21 and the electromagnetic shutoff valve 22, respectively. The pressure reduction gradient and pressure increase gradient can be adjusted.

Further, the wheel brake 1 is operated by the brake operation.
When increasing the brake fluid pressure of 3, 14, 16 and 17, the brake fluid pressure of the left and right rear wheel brakes 13 and 14 is changed by operating the electromagnetic shutoff valves 21 and 22. Can be controlled lower than. Accordingly, the electronic shutoff valve 21,
Brake fluid pressure control for so-called front-rear braking force distribution control can be performed by, for example, setting the front wheels to lock in advance to determine the wheel behavior for activating 22.

Since the brake fluid remaining in the low pressure reservoir 19 is returned to the master cylinder 12 side when the brake operation is released when the electromagnetic switching valve 20 that has been operated is released, the low pressure reservoir 19
Is connected to one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 via a check valve 45. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description of the configurations will be omitted by giving the same reference numerals as those used in the configuration description of the first embodiment to the components corresponding to the components of the first embodiment. .

It is composed of a single electric pump 40 which is simultaneously pumped and is pumped to the front right wheel brake 17 through the check valve 38 and the orifice 39.

Both electric pumps 27 and 40 are driven by a single electric motor 43.

Electromagnetic shutoff valves 48, 49, 50, 54, 5
5, 56 and the electric motor 43 are electrically operated by the electronic control unit as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. In the fourth embodiment, during brake operation, brake fluid from one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 sequentially passes through the electromagnetic shutoff valve 48 and the check valve 46 to the left rear wheel brake 13, and the electromagnetic shutoff valve 48 and the reverse valve. The master cylinder 1 is pressure-fed to the right rear wheel brake 14 through the stop valve 47 in sequence.
Brake fluid from the other pressure chamber of 2 is sequentially pumped to the left front wheel brake 16 through the electromagnetic shutoff valve 54 and the check valve 52, and to the right front wheel brake 17 through the electromagnetic shutoff valve 54 and the check valve 52. It Since the pressure response cutoff valve 30 is opened during the brake operation, when the brake operation is released, the wheel brakes 13, 14,
The brake fluids of 16 and 17 are applied to the check valves 28 and 2 respectively.
Return to master cylinder 12 through 9, 41 and 42.

When the electronic control unit operates the electromagnetic cutoff valve 48 and the electromagnetic cutoff valve 49 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 50 at the same time as the electric motor 43 is operated during vehicle braking, the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or Alternatively, the brake fluid in the right rear wheel brake 14 flows out to the low-pressure reservoir 19 through the electromagnetic cutoff valve 49 and / or the electromagnetic cutoff valve 50, and the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the right rear wheel brake 14 is increased. The brake fluid pressure is suddenly reduced. The brake fluid flowing out to the low-pressure reservoir 19 is the electric motor 4
The electric pump 27 driven by 3 sends pressure to the left rear wheel brake 13 via the check valve 23 and the orifice 24, and at the same time to the right rear wheel brake 14 via the check valve 25 and the orifice 26. The flow rate of the brake fluid flowing from the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14 to the low pressure reservoir 19 is far greater than the brake fluid flow rate that is pumped to the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14 by the electric pump 27. Since there are many, the left rear wheel brake 13 and / or the right rear wheel brake 1
The brake fluid pressure of 4 continues to be rapidly reduced. At that time, the wheel brake 14 or 13 on the side of the electromagnetic cutoff valve 50 or 49 that has not been operated is gradually increased in pressure by the brake fluid being pumped from the electric pump 27 in a state where the outflow of the brake fluid is blocked. When the brake fluid pressure of the wheel brake 14 or 13 becomes higher than the fluid pressure of one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12, the wheel brake 14

When the vehicle starts or accelerates, the electric motor 43 is operated by the electronic control unit to increase the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14. That is, due to the fact that the pressure response cutoff valve 30 is closed and the check valves 46 and 47 are present, the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14 are provided.
Since the brake fluid is prevented from flowing out from the electric pump 27, the electric pump 27 sucks the brake fluid in the one pressure chamber of the master cylinder 12 through the electromagnetic shutoff valve 48, and the left rear wheel brake 13 and the right rear wheel brake 14 are supplied. By pumping to, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 are increased.
At that time, the brake fluid pressure of the left rear wheel brake 13 and the brake fluid pressure of the right rear wheel brake 14 can be independently reduced and increased by operating the electromagnetic cutoff valve 49 and the electromagnetic cutoff valve 50, respectively. The pressure reduction gradient and pressure increase gradient can be adjusted.

Since the operation of the actuator 318 can be easily understood from the description of the operation of the actuator 315, the description thereof will be omitted.
