Background
EPB (Electronic Park Brake) is an electronic parking brake control system for short, and has the main functions of static pull-up, static release, dynamic braking and the like. The system mainly comprises an ECU control module, a rear left actuator and a rear right actuator. The actuator comprises a motor, a transmission mechanism and a brake caliper. In order to cooperate with the system to realize the functions, the system comprises an EPB electronic switch, so that the parking braking intention of a driver can be identified.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is an electronic stability control system for short, and has the main functions of identifying the running state of the vehicle and the intention of a driver through a sensor, regulating the hydraulic pressure output by four wheel edges and realizing the control of the movement posture of the vehicle body. The system mainly comprises a wheel speed sensor, an ECU control module, an HCU hydraulic pressure control module, a hydraulic circuit and four brake actuators, namely front brake actuator, rear brake actuator, left brake actuator and right brake actuator.
In the prior ESC product and EPB redundancy design, an ESC module and an EPB module are independently powered, and two actuator driving modules in the EPB function and the ESC module are in the same shell and controlled by the same MCU (micro controller). The ESC module circuit and the EPB module circuit are distributed in two independent shells, are independently powered by two sets of wire bundles and are independently controlled by two MCU, and the ESC module is connected with the EPB module through the wire bundles.
Scheme one is the ESC integrated EPB scheme, which is most widely used at present, but has the following problems: the single-point failure caused by the power chip, the driving module or the MCU is easier to cause the function degradation of the two driving modules, so that the two actuator driving modules can not realize the pulling-up or releasing function, the requirement that the whole vehicle can still be kept parked on 8% of the ramp when one path of EPB driving fails can not be met, and the redundant control can not be realized. Scheme two is the scheme of ESC module and EPB module separate control, and this scheme needs to use two casings to install two circuit boards, also needs two sets of whole car pencil simultaneously, uses two sets of casings, two sets of circuit boards and relevant circuit and two sets of pencil, and the volume occupies greatly, and comprehensive cost is high.
