发明名称 Vehicle brake control device
摘要 When an EPB performs a locking operation of operating a parking brake, a pressure-decreasing limit control is performed until a driving shaft contacts a piston. Accordingly, even when the time of decreasing the W/C pressure by a service brake is equal to the time of brining the driving shaft having moved by the motor driving of the EPB into contact with the piston are equal to each other, it is possible to prevent the piston, which has been urged to the driving shaft with the decreasing of the W/C pressure, from colliding with the driving shaft with a great impact, thereby preventing a large load from being applied to the driving shaft.

主权项 1. A vehicle brake control device comprising: a first frictional member; a second frictional member attached to a vehicle wheel; an electronic parking brake configured to electrically generate a braking force by the first frictional member and the second frictional member; a service brake configured to hydraulically generate a braking force by the first frictional member and the second frictional member; and an electronic controller configured to control operations of the electronic parking brake and the service brake, wherein the electronic parking brake includes: an electronic parking brake mechanism configured to perform a locking operation of moving a moving member in a first direction in which the first frictional member approaches the second frictional member by forwardly rotationally driving an electric motor to move a pressing member and pressing the first frictional member against the second frictional member by the pressing member, a lock-holding operation of holding the pressed state of the first and second frictional members, and a releasing operation of controlling the moving member to move the moving member in a second direction in which the first frictional member is separated from the second frictional member by backwardly rotationally driving the electric motor to move the pressing member to separate the first frictional member from the second frictional member, anda driving load detector configured to detect a driving load of the electric motor, wherein the service brake includes: a hydraulic brake pressure generator configured to generate a hydraulic brake pressure,a wheel cylinder that is connected to the hydraulic brake pressure generator, moves the first frictional member in the first direction and presses the second frictional member by the pressing member when the hydraulic brake pressure increases, and moves the first frictional member in the second direction by the pressing member when the hydraulic brake pressure decreases, anda hydraulic brake pressure adjusting unit configured to adjust the hydraulic brake pressure of the wheel cylinder, wherein the electronic controller includes a determining unit configured to determine a contact state where the moving member of the electronic parking brake contacts the pressing member, wherein the electronic parking brake performs a pressure-decreasing limit control of limiting the decrease in the hydraulic brake pressure by the hydraulic brake pressure adjusting unit if the contact state is not reached during the locking operation, and ends the pressure-decreasing limit control if the moving-member contact state is reached, and wherein the pressure-decreasing rate of the hydraulic brake pressure is adjusted so that a sum of an impact force of the moving member on the pressing member at the time of bringing the moving member into contact with the pressing member, which is generated due to the movement of the moving member by the electronic parking brake at the time of performing the locking operation, and an impact force of the pressing member on the moving member at the time of bringing the pressing member into contact with the moving member, which is generated in the pressing member due to the decrease in the hydraulic brake pressure in the wheel cylinder and which is predicted based on the pressure-decreasing rate of the hydraulic brake pressure, is not greater than a predetermined threshold value.
