Description
The present invention relates to a brake light switch, and more particularly to a brake light switch for detecting the operating state of the brake pedal of the vehicle.
In general, the brake light switch is installed on the rotary shaft of the brake pedal to detect the brake pedal state and transmit a signal to the ECU (electronic control unit) that controls the anti-lock brake system (ABS). Will flash.
Such brake light switches have a contact actuation mechanism in which the brake actuation contact is connected or disconnected as the driver presses or releases the brake, thereby electrically connecting or disconnecting the ECU.
On the other hand, the rod of the power booster connected to the brake pedal extends through the brake booster to the piston of the master cylinder.
When the driver presses the brake pedal, the rod moves in conjunction with each other, and the piston inside the master cylinder reciprocates and pressurizes the working fluid filled in the cylinder to generate braking hydraulic pressure.
In this way, in the process of transmitting the braking operation force from the brake pedal to the brake booster and the master cylinder, a difference is actually generated in the operation displacement of the brake pedal and the piston displacement of the master cylinder by an invalid stroke.
That is, the brake light switch detects the movement of the brake pedal, but the braking hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder is less than the reference value.
Accordingly, there is a problem that frequently misjudged by the failure of the brake light switch, the reliability of the brake light blinking control is lowered.
In addition, there is a problem in productivity loss due to precise assembly of the mounting bracket of the switch, such as a brake light having a contact operation mechanism on the brake pedal with an assembly tolerance that can stably implement the connection and disconnection between the contacts.

In the present invention, the sensor coupling portion is coupled to the periphery of the extension hole, the first O-ring elastic contact with the master cylinder; And a second O-ring coupled to the connector and elastically contacting the extension hole.
In the present invention, the brake light sensor, the pin-shaped body portion is inserted into the extension hole, one end portion toward the inner space of the master cylinder; And a terminal portion formed at the other end of the main body portion and electrically connected to the connector.
The brake light sensor in the present invention, the magnetic means for forming a magnetic field path passing through the master cylinder; Magnetic sensing means located on the magnetic field path and sensing the strength of the magnetic field; And signal processing means for outputting a current according to the amount of change in the magnetic field strength sensed by the magnetic sensing means to the electronic control apparatus.
In the present invention, the brake light sensor, the magnetic means, the magnetic sensing means, it is characterized in that the injection molded in a pin shape by embedding the signal processing means.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, by installing a brake light sensor for detecting the piston position of the master cylinder by the magnetic force to the master cylinder connection portion of the reservoir tank, it is possible to detect the actual operating state of the master cylinder according to the brake pedal operation.
Accordingly, it is possible to secure the reliability of the blinking control and operation of the brake lamp.
In addition, the brake light sensor can be firmly installed by inserting the brake light sensor into the extension hole provided in the reservoir tank, and by simply assembling the connector connected to the electronic control device to the terminal of the brake light sensor.
