Description
The present invention relates to an electronic parking brake system and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an electronic parking brake system and a control method for preventing a failure of the electronic parking brake device.
The brake device is a device that decelerates and stops a running vehicle and maintains a stopped state at the same time. The brake device includes a parking brake that decelerates and stops a running vehicle and keeps the vehicle in a stopped state.
The parking brake allows the parking cable to be pulled by the operation of the lever provided on one side of the driver's seat inside the vehicle, and provides the braking force to the wheels connected to the parking cable to keep the wheels at a standstill. This releases the braking force provided to the wheels. In this way, an operation method of the parking brake that provides or releases the braking force to the wheel by using the tension of the parking cable is called a cable puller type.
The cable puller-type parking brake has been very troublesome because the lever must be operated at each parking or driving start according to the driver's will. Accordingly, an electronic parking brake (EPB) system has been developed in which the parking brake is automatically operated by a motor according to the operating state of the vehicle.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) maintains the manual parking brake (Cable Puller System) while driving a separate actuator equipped with a motor when the parking switch is operated to pull the cable connected to the parking brake. Activate the parking brake. Accordingly, even if the driver does not operate the parking brake manually, the parking brake is automatically applied or released through a simple switch operation.
In such an electronic parking brake system, if the driver repeats the operation and release of the parking brake in a short time, the motor may be overloaded, causing a failure of the electronic parking brake system.
The electronic parking brake system judged the failure by detecting the temperature generated by the motor through a temperature sensor and determining the overload of the motor according to the detected motor temperature. As a result, manufacturing costs of the electronic parking brake system have been increased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide an electronic parking brake system and a control method for determining that the motor is overloaded if the number of times of repeatedly operating and releasing the electronic parking brake device is greater than or equal to the number of failure determinations. .

An electronic parking brake system according to an aspect of the present invention includes a parking switch operated by a driver to instruct braking of a vehicle; An electronic parking brake apparatus having a motor for generating braking force of the vehicle; If the parking switch is re-operated within a certain time, the fault determination counter will negatively calculate a certain number.If the parking switch is re-operated after a certain time, the fault determination counter will be positively calculated by the fault determination counter, and the calculated fault determination counter is zero. And an electronic control unit for prohibiting the driving of the motor when the failure determination counter is zero.
The electronic control unit of the electronic parking brake system controls the driving of the motor when an operation signal for releasing braking of the vehicle is input from the parking switch when the driving of the motor is prohibited.
The electronic control unit of the electronic parking brake system releases the driving prohibition of the motor when the preset reference time elapses.
The electronic parking brake system further includes a display unit indicating a failure of the electronic parking brake device when the driving of the motor is prohibited.
In a control method of an electronic parking brake system including a parking switch operated by a driver instructing braking of a vehicle according to an aspect of the present invention and an electronic parking brake apparatus having a motor for generating braking force of the vehicle, the parking switch operates. If the parking switch is remanufactured within a certain time, minus a certain number at the fault determination counter. If the fault determination counter is zero, the operation of the motor is prohibited.
The control method of the electronic parking brake system further includes releasing the prohibition of driving the motor when a preset reference time elapses.
The control method of the electronic parking brake system further includes determining that the overload of the motor occurs when the failure determination counter is zero, determining that the electronic parking brake device is broken due to the overload occurrence of the motor, and indicating a failure of the electronic parking brake device. do.
In the control method of the electronic parking brake system, when an operation signal for releasing braking of the vehicle is input from the parking switch when the motor is prohibited from driving, the braking force is released by driving the motor.
The present invention determines that an overload has occurred in a motor provided in the electronic parking brake device when the number of operations of the parking switch for operating and releasing the electronic parking brake device is greater than or equal to the number of failure determination, thereby effectively detecting the failure of the electronic parking brake system. It is possible to increase the stability and safety of the vehicle, and to improve the reliability of the failure detection of the electronic parking brake system.
In addition, when the motor provided in the electronic parking brake device is overloaded, the operation of the electronic parking brake device is prohibited, thereby protecting the electronic parking brake system safely.
In addition, when it is determined that a failure occurs in the electronic parking brake system, the driver may be warned to prevent occurrence of an accident due to the electronic parking brake system.
In addition, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the electronic parking brake system by determining the overload state of the motor provided in the electronic parking brake device without using a temperature sensor, and to accurately detect the overload of the motor even in a low temperature or high temperature condition.
