Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an electronic parking brake actuator, and more particularly, to an electronic parking brake actuator operated by an electronically controlled motor.
The parking brake is a device for stably maintaining the stopping state of the vehicle at the time of parking, and it is also used as an auxiliary brake in emergency in case of the main brake which is decelerating while driving.
The conventional parking brake is operated by pulling a wire connected to the parking brake mechanism of the rear wheel by operating a lever or a pedal provided near the driver's seat.
In recent years, EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), that is, electronic parking brake, in which an electronic control unit recognizing a switch operation of a driver operates a parking brake by operating an actuator driven by a motor and pulling a wire is widely used.
In electronic parking brakes, the actuators are mounted together on a back plate equipped with brake mechanisms. This type of actuator is referred to as a DIH (Drum in Hat) integrated actuator, and the present invention relates to such DIH integral actuator.
In general, as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0088995, a DIH integral type actuator includes a gear (worm, worm wheel) driven by a motor and a bolt screw And a wire for operating a parking brake mechanism is connected to an end of the bolt screw.
Therefore, the bolt screw is moved forward / backward according to the operating direction of the motor, so that the wire is pulled (Apply operation) or restored to the original state (Release operation), so that the parking brake is released or the parking brake is released.
FIG. 1 is a partial schematic view of a conventional electronic parking brake actuator including a motor, a worm and a worm wheel, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an opposite end portion of the conventional electronic parking brake actuator.
The conventional actuator shown in the figure has a structure in which a

Therefore, during the application operation, the wire connected to the parking brake mechanism is pulled to perform the parking braking operation, and at the time of release operation, the wire is returned to the home position and the parking brake is released.
2, a
Therefore, the
Such conventional actuators have the following problems.
If the actuator is operated in an unloaded state, which is not installed in the vehicle (mainly occurring during the operation test procedure), there is no configuration to hold the
Therefore, the application

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an airbag device capable of preventing damage to a housing and actuator locking due to excessive application operation in a state before an actuator is installed in a vehicle, It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic parking brake actuator configured to be able to determine a stoppage time during fly and release operations.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a worm wheel including: a housing; a worm wheel rotatably installed in the housing; a worm wheel rotatably installed in the worm wheel, A bolt screw which is screwed with the nut screw and is connected to a wire for operating a parking brake mechanism at one end thereof and an elastic body which is installed on a sidewall of the housing in the operating direction of the housing and elastically supports a bolt screw and a nut screw, .
Wherein a guide member surrounding the elastic body is provided on a sidewall of the housing in an operation direction of the housing, and one end of the guide member is inserted into the guide member so that the support plate is movable in the lateral direction, .
The support plate includes a plate-shaped body and an insertion end protruding from one side of the body and inserted into the guide member.
At one side surface of the body of the support plate, a seating groove for receiving the end of the nut screw is formed when the nut screw is contacted.
The worm is connected to a motor, and the motor is operated and controlled by an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit always checks the power used by the motor, and the electronic control unit When the motor is applied, the bolt screw compresses the elastic body through the support plate, and stops the motor operation when the power consumption increases rapidly above the set value.
In addition, the electronic control unit compresses the elastic body through the support plate during the release operation of the motor, and stops the operation of the motor when the power consumption rapidly increases to a predetermined value or more.
According to the present invention as described above, the elastic body is provided on the side wall of the housing of the housing.
Therefore, when the actuator is operated in the state before the actuator is installed in the vehicle, the elastic body can support the bolt screw, thereby preventing the housing from being damaged by the bolt screw.
In addition, since the bolt screw is supported by the elastic body and the operation of the motor is not continued in the state where the bolt screw is completely stopped, it is possible to prevent the screwed portion of the bolt screw from being locked.
The breakage and the locking as described above do not occur, so that the failure of the actuator is prevented.
In addition, since the nut screw and the bolt screw are axially movable relative to each other, the elastic body is provided on one side of the housing as described above, and the nut screw is screwed to the bolt screw. In all cases of release operation, it can be used as a part to determine the point of time of shutdown.
Therefore, there is an advantage in that the number of components is reduced by eliminating the need to provide two elastic bodies for judging suspension of the operation of the actuator.
