APPARATUS AND METHOD OF SENSING AND CONTROLLING WEAR OF BRAKE LINING

摘要

An apparatus and method of sensing and controlling wear of a brake lining, whereby wear of the brake lining is sensed so that equal wear of the brake lining can be carried out by an electronic braking system. That is, in the apparatus and method of sensing and controlling wear of each brake lining displays the remaining amount of wear and a projected replacement time for the brake lining on a display of a cluster based on a signal obtained by sensing wear of each brake lining and simultaneously brake lining wear of each wheel is provided to an electronics brake system so that an appropriate braking force for each brake lining of each wheel can be carried out by the electronics brake system.

1. An apparatus for sensing and controlling wear of a brake lining, the apparatus comprising:
a brake lining wear sensor mounted on each wheel of a vehicle that each sense wear of the brake lining of each wheel respectively; a brake lining wear sensor controller configured to receive a wear sensing signal from each brake lining wear sensor in real-time and provide wear information of each brake lining; a cluster that displays a remaining amount of wear for each the brake lining and a projected replacement time for each brake lining based on the wear information that is provided by the brake lining wear sensor controller; and an electronics brake system that equally controls wear of each brake lining mounted on each of the wheels of the vehicle based on the wear information that is provided by the brake lining wear sensor controller.
