Abstract
Description
図1及び図2に示すように、本実施形態に係る電動倍力装置1は、ブレーキ液圧を発生させるマスタシリンダ4に一体に結合されてマスタシリンダ4のプライマリピストン10(ピストン)を推進する。電動倍力装置1は、クレビス30Aを介してブレーキペダル(図示せず)に連結される入力ロッド30と、回転直動変換機構であるボールねじ機構38と、これらを収容するハウジング3とを有している。ハウジング3には、駆動源である電動モータ2と、ハウジング3に一体的に取付けられたコントローラCとが取り付けられている。
主に図1及び図4を参照して、ベルト伝動機構45の一方のプーリ45Bが外周の軸方向中間部に取付けられたボールねじ機構38のナット部材39は、リアハウジング3Bのリア本体部53に取付けられたボールベアリングである軸受42Aによって回転可能に保持されている。軸受42Aは、リアハウジングのリア本体部53に一体に形成された環状の軸受支持部55に固定されている。本実施形態において、軸受42Aは、その外周が軸受支持部55に圧入されている。ナット部材39は、一端側、すなわち、軸受42Aによって支持されたブレーキペダル側(図1において右側)の端部のみでリア本体部53に保持、言い換えれば、リアハウジング3Bに保持されている。また、ナット部材39の他端側は支持されていない。
ブレーキペダルを操作して入力ロッド30を前進させると、ブレーキペダルの操作量、すなわち、入力ロッド30のストロークに基づいてコントローラCが電動モータ2の作動を制御する。この制御により、電動モータ2は、プーリ45A,45B及びベルト46を介してボールねじ機構38のナット部材39を回転駆動する。この回転駆動により、ネジ軸40が前進してネジ軸40の段部44により、プライマリピストン10のバネ受35を押圧してプライマリピストン10を推進する。プライマリピストン10の推進により、入力ロッド30のストロークに追従することになる。これにより、プライマリ室12に液圧が発生し、また、この液圧がセカンダリピストン11を推進してセカンダリ室13に伝達される。このようにして、マスタシリンダ4で発生したブレーキ液圧は、各車輪のホイールシリンダに供給され、摩擦制動による制動力を発生させる。
電動倍力装置1の組み立ては、フロントハウジングサブアセンブリ67、リアハウジングサブアセンブリ64、及び、ピストンサブアセンブリの各サブアセンブリをそれぞれ組み立てた後に、各サブアセンブリとマスタシリンダ4とを組み合わせることで行われる。以下、各サブアセンブリの組み立て方法及び電動倍力装置1の組み立て方法の概略を示す。
