VEHICULAR BRAKE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent abnormal noise from being generated when a braking fluid fed to a brake caliper is depressurized. A vehicular brake device comprising a first hydraulic brake and a second hydraulic brake for generating a hydraulic braking force, and a regenerative brake for generating a regenerative braking force, it being possible to divide the braking force between the hydraulic braking force and a regenerative braking force; wherein the vehicular brake device comprises: an adjustment valve provided between the first hydraulic brake and the second hydraulic brake, the adjustment valve being capable of continuously adjusting the flow rate of the braking fluid from the first hydraulic brake side to the second hydraulic brake side; and a reducing valve capable of reducing the pressure of the braking fluid fed to the second hydraulic brake. In an instance in which the hydraulic braking force of the first hydraulic brake is to be reduced, the opening degree of the adjustment valve is continuously increased and the reducing valve is opened.
