従来のプランジャ式ポンプは,1つの吐出ポートに対して1つの吸入ポートしか備えておらず,したがって独立した2本の低圧流路から流体を吸入して1本もしくは2本の高圧流路に吐出する場合には,個別に作動する2本のプランジャを必要していたので,ポンプの大型化及びコスト高を免れることができなかった。   The conventional plunger type pump has only one suction port for one discharge port, and therefore sucks fluid from two independent low-pressure channels and discharges it to one or two high-pressure channels. In this case, since two plungers that operate individually were required, it was not possible to avoid the increase in size and cost of the pump.

本発明は,かゝる事情に鑑みてなされたもので,単一のプランジャの往復動により,独立した2本の吸入ポートから流体を吸入して独立した2本の吐出ポートに吐出することを可能にして,構造簡単且つ小型で安価なプランジャ式ポンプを提供することを第1の目的と,該ポンプを使用することにより油圧回路の簡素化を可能にした車両用ブレーキ油圧制御装置を提供することを第2の目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. By reciprocating a single plunger, fluid is sucked from two independent suction ports and discharged to two independent discharge ports. A first object of the present invention is to provide a plunger pump that is simple in structure, small and inexpensive, and provides a brake hydraulic control device for a vehicle that can simplify a hydraulic circuit by using the pump. This is the second purpose.

上記目的を達成するために,本発明は,シリンダと,このシリンダのシリンダボアに往復動可能に嵌装される単一のプランジャとを備えるプランジャ式ポンプにおいて,シリンダには,プランジャの往復動により体積が増減する,それぞれ独立した第1及び第2ポンプ室と,前記第1ポンプ室に第1吸入弁及び第1吐出弁をそれぞれ介して接続される第1吸入ポート及び第1吐出ポートと,前記第2ポンプ室に第2吸入弁及び第2吐出弁をそれぞれ介して接続される第2吸入ポート及び第2吐出ポートとを設けたことを第1の特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plunger pump comprising a cylinder and a single plunger that is fitted in a cylinder bore of the cylinder so as to be reciprocally movable. The first and second pump chambers independent of each other, the first suction port and the first discharge port connected to the first pump chamber via the first suction valve and the first discharge valve, respectively, A first feature is that a second suction port and a second discharge port connected to the second pump chamber via a second suction valve and a second discharge valve, respectively, are provided.

また本発明は,マスタシリンダに連なる入力油路と,この入力油路を開閉するカット弁と,車輪ブレーキに連なる出力油路と,作動油を吸収し得るリザーバと,入力油路及び出力油路間を連通すると共に出力油路及びリザーバ間を遮断する増圧状態,入力油路及び出力油路間を遮断すると共に出力油路及びリザーバ間を連通する減圧状態,並びに入力油路及びリザーバと出力油路との各間を共に遮断する油圧保持状態を切換え得るブレーキ油圧制御弁手段と,リザーバに吸収された作動油を減圧油路を通して吸入したり,マスタシリンダから作動油をサクション油路を通して吸入したりする油圧ポンプと,前記カット弁より下流側の入力油路に油圧ポンプの吐出油圧を誘導する昇圧油路と,ブレーキ油圧制御弁手段及びカット弁を制御する電子制御ユニットとを備えた,車両のブレーキ油圧制御装置において,前記油圧ポンプを,シリンダと,このシリンダのシリンダボアに往復動可能に嵌装される単一のプランジャとで構成すると共に,そのシリンダには,プランジャの往復動により体積が増減する,それぞれ独立した第1及び第2ポンプ室と,前記第1ポンプ室に第1吸入弁及び第1吐出弁をそれぞれ介して接続される第1吸入ポート及び第1吐出ポートと,前記第2ポンプ室に第2吸入弁及び第2吐出弁をそれぞれ介して接続される第2吸入ポート及び第2吐出ポートとを設け,第1吸入ポートに前記リザーバを連通し,第2吸入ポートにサクション油路を接続し,第1及び第2吐出ポートの両方に昇圧油路を接続したことを第2の特徴とする。   The present invention also includes an input oil passage connected to the master cylinder, a cut valve for opening and closing the input oil passage, an output oil passage connected to the wheel brake, a reservoir capable of absorbing hydraulic oil, an input oil passage and an output oil passage. Pressure increase state that communicates with each other and shuts off between the output oil passage and the reservoir, pressure reduction state that shuts off between the input oil passage and the output oil passage and communicates between the output oil passage and the reservoir, and the input oil passage, reservoir, and output Brake hydraulic control valve means that can switch the hydraulic pressure holding state that shuts off both of the oil path and the hydraulic oil absorbed by the reservoir is sucked through the pressure reducing oil path, or hydraulic oil from the master cylinder is sucked through the suction oil path Hydraulic pressure pump, a boost oil passage for guiding the discharge hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pump to an input oil passage downstream of the cut valve, a brake hydraulic control valve means and an electric power for controlling the cut valve. In the brake hydraulic control apparatus for a vehicle having a control unit, the hydraulic pump is composed of a cylinder and a single plunger that is reciprocally fitted to a cylinder bore of the cylinder. The first and second pump chambers, each of which increases or decreases in volume due to the reciprocation of the plunger, and a first suction port connected to the first pump chamber via a first suction valve and a first discharge valve, respectively A first discharge port and a second suction port and a second discharge port connected to the second pump chamber via a second suction valve and a second discharge valve, respectively, are provided, and the reservoir communicates with the first suction port. The second feature is that a suction oil passage is connected to the second suction port, and a boost oil passage is connected to both the first and second discharge ports.

本発明の第1の特徴によれば,単一のプランジャの往復動により,独立した第1及び第2ポンプ室を作動することで,第1及び第2ポンプ室が第1及び第2吸入ポートから個別に流体を吸入して第1及び第2吐出ポートに吐出することができ,構造簡単且つ小型で安価なプランジャ式ポンプを提供する。   According to the first feature of the present invention, the first and second pump chambers are operated as the first and second suction ports by operating the independent first and second pump chambers by reciprocating movement of a single plunger. Thus, a plunger type pump can be provided which can suck a fluid individually and discharge it to the first and second discharge ports, has a simple structure, is small, and is inexpensive.

本発明の第2の特徴によれば,単一の油圧ポンプは,アンチロック制御時には,第1ポンプ室の作動により,リザーバに吸収されたブレーキ油を減圧油路を通して吸入して,それを昇圧油路を通して入力油路に還流させる第1のポンプ機能を発揮し,また自動ブレーキ制御時には,第2ポンプ室の作動により,マスタシリンダからサクション油路を通して吸入した作動油を昇圧油路及び出力油路を通して車輪ブレーキに供給する第2のポンプ機能を発揮することができる。その際,第1及び第2ポンプ室の一方の吐出油が他方に逆流することを第1及び第2吐出弁が阻止することで,減圧油路及びサクション油路間の連通を防ぐことができるので,従来装置におけるような,通常ブレーキ時に,サクション油路を閉鎖するサクション弁,並びに減圧油路からリザーバへの作動油のリークを阻止するチェック弁は不要となり,油圧回路の簡素化を図ることができる。   According to the second feature of the present invention, during the anti-lock control, the single hydraulic pump sucks the brake oil absorbed in the reservoir through the decompression oil passage and pressurizes it by the operation of the first pump chamber. The first pump function that recirculates to the input oil passage through the oil passage is demonstrated, and at the time of automatic brake control, the hydraulic oil sucked from the master cylinder through the suction oil passage is operated by the operation of the second pump chamber. The second pump function for supplying the wheel brake through the road can be exhibited. At that time, the first and second discharge valves prevent the discharge oil of one of the first and second pump chambers from flowing back to the other, thereby preventing communication between the decompression oil passage and the suction oil passage. Therefore, the suction valve that closes the suction oil passage during normal braking and the check valve that prevents the leakage of hydraulic oil from the decompression oil passage to the reservoir during normal braking are not required, and the hydraulic circuit can be simplified. Can do.

次に,この実施例の作用について説明する。
[通常ブレーキ]
各車輪がロックを生じる可能性のない通常ブレーキ時には,各入口弁5a〜5dが消磁状態にあって開弁しており,また各出口弁6a〜6dも消磁状態にあって閉弁している。いま,ブレーキペダルPを踏み込んでマスタシリンダMを作動すると,第1出力ポート1aからの出力油圧は,第1入力油路2a,カット弁14,第1,第2入口弁5a,5b 及び第1,第2出力油路12a,12bを経て左前輪用車輪ブレーキBa及び右後輪用車輪ブレーキBbに供給され,それらを作動する。また第2出力ポート1bからの出力油圧は,第2入力油路2b,カット弁14,第3,第4入口弁5c,5d及び第3,第4出力油路12c,12dを経て右前輪用車輪ブレーキBc及び左後輪用車輪ブレーキBdに供給され,それらを作動する。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[Normal brake]
During normal braking in which each wheel is not likely to lock, each inlet valve 5a to 5d is demagnetized and opened, and each outlet valve 6a to 6d is also demagnetized and closed. . Now, when the master cylinder M is operated by depressing the brake pedal P, the output hydraulic pressure from the first output port 1a is the first input oil passage 2a, the cut valve 14, the first and second inlet valves 5a, 5b and the first. , Are supplied to the left front wheel wheel brake Ba and the right rear wheel wheel brake Bb via the second output oil passages 12a and 12b, and operate them. The output hydraulic pressure from the second output port 1b is for the right front wheel via the second input oil passage 2b, the cut valve 14, the third and fourth inlet valves 5c and 5d, and the third and fourth output oil passages 12c and 12d. The brakes are supplied to the wheel brake Bc and the left rear wheel brake Bd to operate them.

この場合,第1,第2出力ポート1a,1bの出力油圧は,第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bにも伝達するが,その油圧が対応する油圧ポンプ8a,8bの第2吸入弁44を開いて第2ポンプ室39に入り,次いで第2吐出弁72を開いて吐出室53に移り,第1吐出弁71に作用するが,その油圧の作用方向は,第1吐出弁71の閉弁方向であるから,第1吐出弁71は閉弁状態を保持し続けることになり,第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bから第1,第2減圧油路7a,7b,即ち第1,第2リザーバ9a,9bへの油圧のリークを防ぐことができる。したがって,特許文献2に記載されるようなサクション弁16aやチェック弁10を設けずとも済み,部品点数の削減,油圧回路の簡素化に寄与し得る。   In this case, the output hydraulic pressure of the first and second output ports 1a and 1b is also transmitted to the first and second suction oil passages 15a and 15b, but the second intake valves of the hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b to which the hydraulic pressure corresponds. 44 is opened to enter the second pump chamber 39, then the second discharge valve 72 is opened and moved to the discharge chamber 53 to act on the first discharge valve 71. The direction of the action of the hydraulic pressure is the same as that of the first discharge valve 71. Since the valve is in the valve closing direction, the first discharge valve 71 continues to maintain the valve closed state, and the first and second suction oil passages 15a and 15b to the first and second decompression oil passages 7a and 7b, that is, The hydraulic pressure leakage to the first and second reservoirs 9a and 9b can be prevented. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the suction valve 16a and the check valve 10 as described in Patent Document 2, which can contribute to the reduction in the number of parts and the simplification of the hydraulic circuit.

第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bの吐出室53に伝達した油圧は,第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11bへと伝達するが,前述のように第1,第2入力油路2a,2bに出力された出力油圧は,第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11bの下流端にも作用するので,第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11bでは作動油の流れは発生しない。
[アンチロック制御]
上記ブレーキ時,車輪がロック状態に入りそうになると,電子制御ユニット20の作動により,第1〜第4入口弁5a〜5dのうちロック状態になろうとした車輪に対応する入口弁を励磁して閉弁すると共に,第1〜第4出口弁6a〜6dのうち上記車輪に対応する出口弁を励磁して開弁する。すると,上記車輪に対応する車輪ブレーキの油圧の一部が対応する開弁した出口弁及びそれの対応する減圧油路7a,7bを通して第1リザーバ9a又は第2リザーバ9bに吸収されて,その車輪ブレーキの油圧が減圧されることになる。
The hydraulic pressure transmitted to the discharge chambers 53 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b is transmitted to the first and second pressure increase oil passages 11a and 11b, but as described above, the first and second input oil passages 2a. , 2b acts on the downstream ends of the first and second boost oil passages 11a, 11b, so that no hydraulic oil flows in the first and second boost oil passages 11a, 11b.
[Anti-lock control]
When the wheel is about to enter the locked state at the time of braking, the electronic control unit 20 activates the inlet valve corresponding to the wheel that is about to be locked among the first to fourth inlet valves 5a to 5d. While closing the valve, the outlet valve corresponding to the wheel among the first to fourth outlet valves 6a to 6d is excited and opened. Then, a part of the hydraulic pressure of the wheel brake corresponding to the wheel is absorbed into the first reservoir 9a or the second reservoir 9b through the corresponding outlet valve and the corresponding decompression oil passages 7a and 7b, and the wheel The brake hydraulic pressure is reduced.

その車輪ブレーキの油圧を一定に保持する場合には,その車輪ブレーキに対応する入口弁5a〜5dを励磁して閉弁すると共に,出口弁6a〜6dを消磁して閉弁状態にすればよく,ブレーキ油圧を増圧する際には,入口弁5a〜5dを消磁して開弁すると共に,出口弁6a〜6dを消磁して閉弁した状態にすればよい。このように制御することにより車輪をロックさせることなく,効率良く制動することができる。   In order to keep the wheel brake hydraulic pressure constant, the inlet valves 5a to 5d corresponding to the wheel brake may be excited and closed, and the outlet valves 6a to 6d may be demagnetized to be closed. When the brake hydraulic pressure is increased, the inlet valves 5a to 5d may be demagnetized and opened, and the outlet valves 6a to 6d may be demagnetized and closed. By controlling in this way, braking can be performed efficiently without locking the wheels.

このようなアンチロック制御中,電子制御ユニット20は電動モータ17に通電してカム軸30を回転駆動し,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bのプランジャ37を往復動させ,第1,第2ポンプ室38,39の体積を増減させる。而して,第1ポンプ室38では,その減圧時,第1,第2リザーバ9a,9bに吸収されたブレーキ油を第1,第2減圧油路7a,7bを通して吸入し,それを増圧時に吐出室53へと吐出し,そのブレーキ油は,第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11bを通して第1,第2入力油路2a,2bに還流させる。この還流によって,リザーバ9a,9b のブレーキ油の吸収によるブレーキペダルPの踏み込み量の増加が抑制される。   During such antilock control, the electronic control unit 20 energizes the electric motor 17 to rotationally drive the camshaft 30 and reciprocate the plungers 37 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b. 2 Increase or decrease the volume of the pump chambers 38 and 39. Thus, in the first pump chamber 38, when the pressure is reduced, the brake oil absorbed in the first and second reservoirs 9a and 9b is sucked through the first and second pressure reducing oil passages 7a and 7b, and the pressure is increased. Sometimes the oil is discharged into the discharge chamber 53, and the brake oil is returned to the first and second input oil passages 2a and 2b through the first and second pressure increase oil passages 11a and 11b. By this recirculation, an increase in the depression amount of the brake pedal P due to the absorption of the brake oil in the reservoirs 9a and 9b is suppressed.

また第2ポンプ室39では,その減圧時に第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bの作動油を吸入して,増圧時に同じく吐出室53に吐出するため,結局,吐出室53から第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11bに移った油の一部は,第1,第2入力油路2a,2bから第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bへと循環することになる。
[自動ブレーキ制御1(トラクション制御)]
例えば自動車の発進時,駆動輪たる前輪が空転しそうになると,電子制御ユニット20は,各車輪の車輪速センサ22から送られてくる信号から前輪及び後輪の回転差を演算し,その回転差が規定の閾値を超えると空転状態と判定して,カット弁14,第2入口弁5b及び第4入口弁5dを励磁して閉弁すると共に,電動モータ17を作動してカム軸30を回転駆動し,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bのプランジャ37を往復動させ,第1,第2ポンプ室38,39の体積を増減させる。この場合,特に,第2ポンプ室39の作動により,マスタシリンダMの作動油を第1,第2出力ポート1a,1bから第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bを通して吸入し,そして第1,第2昇圧油路11a,11b,第1,第3入口弁5a,5cを通して左右の前輪用車輪ブレーキBa,Bcに供給すると共に,その作動油のマスタシリンダM側への流れを閉弁状態のカット弁14により阻止するので,左右の前輪用車輪ブレーキBa,Bcを作動して,前輪の空転を自動的に未然に防ぐことができる。
In the second pump chamber 39, the hydraulic oil in the first and second suction oil passages 15a and 15b is sucked when the pressure is reduced, and is discharged into the discharge chamber 53 when the pressure is increased. Part of the oil that has moved to the second boost oil passages 11a and 11b circulates from the first and second input oil passages 2a and 2b to the first and second suction oil passages 15a and 15b.
[Automatic brake control 1 (traction control)]
For example, when the front wheel that is the driving wheel is likely to run idle when the vehicle starts, the electronic control unit 20 calculates the rotation difference between the front wheel and the rear wheel from the signal sent from the wheel speed sensor 22 of each wheel, and the rotation difference. Is determined to be in the idling state, the cut valve 14, the second inlet valve 5b and the fourth inlet valve 5d are excited and closed, and the electric motor 17 is operated to rotate the camshaft 30. The plungers 37 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are reciprocated to increase or decrease the volumes of the first and second pump chambers 38 and 39. In this case, in particular, by the operation of the second pump chamber 39, the hydraulic oil of the master cylinder M is sucked from the first and second output ports 1a and 1b through the first and second suction oil passages 15a and 15b, and the first , The second pressure increasing oil passages 11a, 11b, the first and third inlet valves 5a, 5c are supplied to the left and right front wheel brakes Ba, Bc, and the flow of the hydraulic oil to the master cylinder M side is closed. Therefore, the left and right front wheel brakes Ba and Bc can be operated to automatically prevent the front wheels from slipping.

その際,前輪用車輪ブレーキBa,Bcの油圧を一定に保持する際には,アンチロック制御時と同様に,入口弁5a〜5dを励磁して閉弁すると共に,出口弁6a〜6dを消磁して閉弁状態にすればよく,ブレーキ油圧を増圧する際には,入口弁5a〜5dを消磁して開弁すると共に,出口弁6a〜6dを消磁して閉弁した状態に戻せばよく,こうすることにより前輪の空転を防ぐと共に,その駆動トルクを適正に制御することができる。
[自動ブレーキ制御2(ブレーキアシスト)]
ブレーキペダルPの踏み込みによるマスタシリンダMの作動時,油圧センサ21がマスタシリンダ出力油圧を検知して,それに応じた信号を電子制御ユニット20に出力すると,電子制御ユニット20では,その信号からマスタシリンダMの出力昇圧速度を演算し,その昇圧速度が規定の閾値を超えたとき,急ブレーキ操作時と判定して,電動モータ17を作動して,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bを駆動すると共に,カット弁14を励磁して閉弁する。その結果,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bの第1,第2ポンプ室38,39を作動するが,この場合,特に第2ポンプ室39の作動により第1,第2入力油路2a,2b中のマスタシリンダMの油圧を第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bを通して吸入し,これを昇圧して昇圧油路11a,11bから開弁状態の入口弁4a〜4dを経て各車輪ブレーキBa〜Bdに圧送するので,それらを強力に作動できて,急ブレーキ操作に対応することができる。
[自動ブレーキ制御3(車両の走行姿勢制御)]
車両が,例えば左旋回中,舵角センサ23及びヨーレートセンサ24の出力信号が互いに対応せず,それらの信号から電子制御ユニット20が,車両が例えば過剰に左旋回しそうとしていると判定すると,電子制御ユニット20は,その向きを修正すべく,電動モータ17を作動して,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bを駆動すると共に,カット弁14,第1入口弁5a及び第4入口弁5dを励磁して閉弁する。その結果,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bの第1,第2ポンプ室38,39を作動するが,この場合,特に第2ポンプ室39の作動によりマスタシリンダMの作動油を第1,第2出力ポート1a,1b から第1サクション油路15aを通して吸入し,そして昇圧油路11a,11b,第2,第3入口弁5b,5c を通して右前輪用車輪ブレーキBc 及び右後輪用車輪ブレーキBbのみに供給すると共に,その作動油のマスタシリンダM側への流れを閉弁状態のカット弁14により阻止するので,右前輪用車輪ブレーキBc及び右後輪用車輪ブレーキBbが作動して,車両の走行姿勢を舵角に対応させるよう,右側に修正することができる。
At that time, when the oil pressure of the front wheel brakes Ba and Bc is kept constant, the inlet valves 5a to 5d are energized and closed, and the outlet valves 6a to 6d are demagnetized as in the anti-lock control. In order to increase the brake hydraulic pressure, the inlet valves 5a to 5d are demagnetized and opened, and the outlet valves 6a to 6d are demagnetized and returned to the closed state. Thus, it is possible to prevent the front wheels from slipping and to control the driving torque appropriately.
[Automatic brake control 2 (brake assist)]
When the master cylinder M is actuated by depressing the brake pedal P, the hydraulic sensor 21 detects the master cylinder output hydraulic pressure and outputs a signal corresponding thereto to the electronic control unit 20. The output boosting speed of M is calculated, and when the boosting speed exceeds a specified threshold value, it is determined that a sudden braking operation is being performed, and the electric motor 17 is operated to drive the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b. At the same time, the cut valve 14 is excited and closed. As a result, the first and second pump chambers 38 and 39 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are operated. In this case, in particular, the first and second input oil passages 2a are operated by the operation of the second pump chamber 39. , 2b, the hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder M is sucked through the first and second suction oil passages 15a, 15b, and the pressure is increased to increase the pressure from the pressure increase oil passages 11a, 11b to the open valves 4a-4d. Since the pressure is fed to the brakes Ba to Bd, they can be operated strongly and can respond to a sudden braking operation.
[Automatic brake control 3 (vehicle running attitude control)]
When the vehicle is turning left, for example, the output signals of the rudder angle sensor 23 and the yaw rate sensor 24 do not correspond to each other, and the electronic control unit 20 determines that the vehicle is about to turn left, for example, excessively. The control unit 20 operates the electric motor 17 to correct the direction and drives the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b, as well as the cut valve 14, the first inlet valve 5a and the fourth inlet valve 5d. To close the valve. As a result, the first and second pump chambers 38 and 39 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are operated. In this case, particularly, the operation of the second pump chamber 39 causes the hydraulic oil in the master cylinder M to be supplied to the first. , Through the first suction oil passage 15a from the second output ports 1a, 1b, and through the boost oil passages 11a, 11b, the second and third inlet valves 5b, 5c, the right front wheel brake Bc and the right rear wheel. Since only the brake Bb is supplied and the flow of the hydraulic oil to the master cylinder M side is blocked by the closed cut valve 14, the right front wheel brake Bc and the right rear wheel brake Bb are operated. The vehicle's running posture can be corrected to the right so as to correspond to the rudder angle.

また車両の向きを左側に修正するには,上記とは反対に第2入口弁5b及び第3入口弁5cを励磁して閉弁して,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bの吐出油圧を第1,第4入口弁5a,5dを通して左前輪用車輪ブレーキBa及び左後輪用車輪ブレーキBdのみに供給して,それらを作動することになる。   In order to correct the vehicle direction to the left side, the second inlet valve 5b and the third inlet valve 5c are excited and closed in the opposite direction, and the discharge hydraulic pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are reversed. Are supplied only to the left front wheel brake Ba and the left rear wheel brake Bd through the first and fourth inlet valves 5a, 5d, and operate them.

また車両の右旋回中でも直進中でも,上記と同様な作用により車両の走行姿勢は制御される。
[自動ブレーキ制御4(車両の追突予防制御)]
車両の走行中,レーダー25により先行車両に対する相対速度及び距離を検出して,その情報に基づいて電子制御ユニット20が追突の虞があると判断すると,電子制御ユニット20は,電動モータ17を作動して,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bを駆動すると共に,カット弁14を励磁して閉弁する。その結果,第1,第2油圧ポンプ8a,8bの第1,第2ポンプ室38,39を作動するが,この場合,特に第2ポンプ室39の作動によりマスタシリンダMの作動油を第1,第2サクション油路15a,15bを通して吸入し,これを昇圧して昇圧油路11a,11bから開弁状態の入口弁4a〜4dを経て各車輪ブレーキBa〜Bdに圧送するので,それらを自動的に作動させて,追突を未然に防ぐことができる。
Further, whether the vehicle is turning right or straight, the traveling posture of the vehicle is controlled by the same action as described above.
[Automatic brake control 4 (vehicle rear-end collision prevention control)]
While the vehicle is traveling, the radar 25 detects the relative speed and distance with respect to the preceding vehicle, and when the electronic control unit 20 determines that there is a possibility of a rear-end collision based on the detected information, the electronic control unit 20 activates the electric motor 17. Then, the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are driven and the cut valve 14 is excited to close. As a result, the first and second pump chambers 38 and 39 of the first and second hydraulic pumps 8a and 8b are operated. In this case, particularly, the operation of the second pump chamber 39 causes the hydraulic oil in the master cylinder M to be supplied to the first. , The air is sucked through the second suction oil passages 15a and 15b, the pressure is increased, and the pressure is supplied from the pressure increase oil passages 11a and 11b to the respective wheel brakes Ba to Bd through the opened inlet valves 4a to 4d. It is possible to prevent the rear-end collision in advance.

以上の自動ブレーキ制御1〜4の最中に,ブレーキペダルPを踏み込んでマスタシリンダMを作動すると,その出力油圧を油圧センサ21が受けて検知信号を電子制御ユニット20に入力する。その信号を受けた電子制御ユニット20は,自動ブレーキ制御を禁止すべく,電動モータ17の作動を停止すると共に,カット弁14を通常の開弁状態に,また全ての入口弁5a〜5dを通常の開弁状態に,更に全ての出口弁6a〜6dを通常の閉弁状態に戻す。したがって,前記通常ブレーキ時と同様に,マスタシリンダMの出力油圧は,全ての車輪ブレーキBa〜Bdに供給され,それらを作動することができる。   When the master cylinder M is operated by depressing the brake pedal P during the automatic brake control 1 to 4 described above, the hydraulic pressure sensor 21 receives the output hydraulic pressure and inputs a detection signal to the electronic control unit 20. Upon receiving the signal, the electronic control unit 20 stops the operation of the electric motor 17 in order to prohibit the automatic brake control, the cut valve 14 is normally opened, and all the inlet valves 5a to 5d are normally opened. All the outlet valves 6a to 6d are returned to the normal closed state. Accordingly, as in the case of the normal brake, the output hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder M is supplied to all the wheel brakes Ba to Bd and can be operated.
