Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a brake fluid measuring apparatus of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a brake fluid measuring apparatus of a vehicle so that the state of the brake fluid used in the vehicle can be accurately confirmed by a separate measuring mechanism.
In general, when checking the state of brake fluid used in a vehicle, uncertainty is determined by judging whether to replace the oil by visually seeing the color and turbidity of the oil state and subjecting it to a subjective judgment (experience). The exchange is made more than necessary, which causes a lot of waste and does not give consumers the reliability of the exchange cycle.
If you continue to use the brake fluid after the replacement cycle or if you use excessive brakes, the brake may not work properly due to the phenomenon of vapor lock, which causes the accident of the vehicle. It is a situation that is required to be.
After 1 year of replacing the brake fluid, 3 ~ 3.5% of water will be generated, and 4 ~ 5% of water will be generated after 2 years. Vapor-lock occurs in midsummer because of this increased moisture in the brake fluid. Excessive use of brakes on long downhill roads in vapor lock vaporizes oil in the wheel cylinders and brake pipes due to frictional heat in the wheels, and bubbles are formed as if air is introduced into the brake circuit. At this time, even if you step on the brake, the sponge goes off completely as if you step on the sponge, and the brake is not working.
