Abstract

본 발명은 차량에 구비되는 자동제동시스템(ABS)의 브레이크패드 마모 자동 표시장치에 관한 것으로, 일반적으로 차량의 디스크 브레이크캘리퍼(5)에 구비되는 각각의 패드(10, 12)가 교환되어야 할 정도로 마모된 것을 운전자에게 미리 시각적으로 알려줄 수 있도록 하고자 하는 경우에 차량의 소정부위에 상기 패드(10, 12)의 마모를 자동으로 나타내주는 표시장치가 구비되어 있지 않음으로 인해 운전자가 차량의 주행시 불편을 겪게 되는 문제점을 해소 하기 위하여, 차량의 소정부위에 각각 구비되는 디스크 브레이크캘리퍼(5)용 인너패드(10)와 아웃터패드(12)의 소정부위에 각각 구비되는 마모센서(13)와, 상기 각각의 마모센서(13)로부터 발생되는 소정의 전기적인 신호를 수신하는 자동제동시스템(1)용 전자제어부(14)와, 상기 자동제동시스템(1)용 전자제어부(14)로부터 제어신호를 받아 상기 패드(10, 12)의 마모를 나타내주는 마모인디게이터(15)로 이루어짐으로써 운전자가 디스크 브레이크캘리퍼(5)용 패드(10, 12)의 마모정도를 미리 시각적으로 알수 있게 되어 차량관리가 편해지게 되는 효과가 있다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic display device for brake pad wear of an automatic braking system (ABS) provided in a vehicle. In general, the pads 10 and 12 of the disc brake caliper 5 of the vehicle need to be replaced. In the case where it is desired to be able to inform the driver in advance of the worn out, there is no display device for automatically indicating the wear of the pads 10 and 12 on a predetermined portion of the vehicle. In order to solve the problem that is encountered, the wear sensor 13 is provided on each of the inner pad 10 and the outer pad 12 for the disc brake caliper (5) respectively provided on a predetermined portion of the vehicle, respectively Electronic control unit 14 for automatic braking system 1 for receiving a predetermined electrical signal generated from wear sensor 13 of the wear sensor 13 and electronic agent for automatic braking system 1 It is composed of a wear indicator 15 which shows the wear of the pads 10 and 12 by receiving a control signal from the unit 14, thereby allowing the driver to visually check the degree of wear of the pads 10 and 12 for the disc brake caliper 5 in advance. As it can be seen that the vehicle management is easier to effect.
