- a pump 42 is a pressurization source that increases the WC pressure. The WC pressure can be increased as the amount of driving of the electric motor 41, which is the power source of the pump 42, increases.

That is, the acquisition unit 12 can calculate the pedal stroke, the pedal force, and the like. The acquisition unit 12 can also calculate the vehicle speed, which is the running speed of the vehicle, based on the detection signal from the wheel speed sensor 94 .
- the acquisition unit 12 can acquire a background noise level BN that is an estimated background noise level.

- the background noise may also be referred to as background noise for the sound originating from driving of the electric motor 41 .
- the background noise level BN will be explained.
- the background noise level BN is a value that increases as the background noise is estimated to be louder.
- the background noise level BN is high, the background noise relative to the sound originating from the driving of the electric motor 41 is large, and it can be said that the sound originating from the driving of the electric motor 41 is less likely to be transmitted to the driver.
- the background noise level BN is low, the background noise relative to the sound derived from driving the electric motor 41 is small, and it can be said that the sound derived from driving the electric motor 41 is easily transmitted to the driver.
- the background noise is louder when the vehicle is running than when the vehicle is stopped.
- the acquisition unit 12 can calculate a larger background noise level BN as the vehicle speed increases.
- the background noise level BN may be calculated to be larger as the number of revolutions of the engine is higher.
- the acquisition unit 12 may calculate the background noise level BN to be larger as the road noise is larger. For example, when the coefficient of friction of the road surface on which the vehicle travels is high, it can be estimated that the road noise will increase.

However, it is difficult for the driver to distinguish the operation sound. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the background noise level BN particularly based on the sound pressure having the same frequency as the frequency of the sound originating from driving of the electric motor 41 among the detected noises. The background noise level BN may be calculated based on the sound pressure of a predetermined frequency close to the frequency of the sound originating from driving the electric motor 41 .

- the acquisition unit 12 can calculate the target pressure PT based on the pedal stroke.

- the motor control unit 11 drives the electric motor 41 so that the motor rotation speed Nm follows the target rotation speed NT, which is the target value of the motor rotation speed Nm.
- the target rotation speed NT is the rotation speed of the electric motor 41 required to pressurize the brake fluid to the pressure for generating the frictional braking force.
- the motor control unit 11 can also execute a limiting process to limit the motor rotation speed Nm to a value smaller than the target rotation speed NT.
- the limiting process is a process for suppressing an increase in the noise generated when the electric motor 41 is driven when generation of the frictional braking force is started. Details of the restriction processing will be described later.
- FIG. 2 shows the flow of processing executed by the control device 10 .
- This processing routine is started when generation of a frictional braking force is requested.
- this processing routine is started when the brake operation member 92 is started to be operated.
- this processing routine can be started when braking is requested by the automatic driving control unit 80 .
- step S101 the control device 10 causes the acquisition unit 12 to perform acquisition processing.
- the acquisition unit 12 acquires the target pressure PT and the background noise level BN.
- the control device 10 shifts the process to step S102.
- the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to set the limit determination value PTth.
- the limit determination value PTth is a value for determining the magnitude of the target pressure PT, which is an index value.
- Motor control unit 11 can, for example, calculate limit determination value PTth based on background noise level BN. In this case, the motor control unit 11 calculates the limit determination value PTth smaller as the background noise level BN increases. Motor control unit 11 may calculate limit determination value PTth based on the temperature of the brake fluid. In this case, the motor control unit 11 calculates the limit determination value PTth to be smaller as the temperature of the brake fluid is lower. Also, the motor control unit 11 may calculate the limit determination value PTth based on the temperature of the friction material 32 . In this case, the motor control unit 11 calculates the limit determination value PTth to be smaller as the temperature of the friction material 32 is lower.
- values detected by a temperature sensor can be used.
- the temperature of the brake fluid and the temperature of the friction material 32 can also be calculated based on the time during which the friction braking device 20 is operated.
- control device 10 shifts the process to step S103.
- step S103 the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to set a limit value for the motor rotation speed Nm.
- the motor control unit 11 sets a gradient limit value that limits the speed at which the motor rotation speed Nm increases.
- the slope limit value is a value corresponding to the slope at which the motor rotation speed Nm increases.
- the motor control unit 11 can calculate the slope limit value based on the background noise level BN, for example. In this case, the larger the background noise level BN, the larger the gradient limit value calculated. That is, the greater the background noise level BN, the looser the restriction on the speed of increase.
- the motor control unit 11 may calculate the slope limit value based on the temperature of the brake fluid. In this case, the motor control unit 11 calculates a larger slope limit value as the temperature of the brake fluid is lower.
- the motor control section 11 may calculate the slope limit value based on the temperature of the friction material 32 . In this case, the motor control unit 11 calculates a larger slope limit value as the temperature of the friction material 32 is lower.
- the slope limit value can also be calculated as a value capable of suppressing a momentary increase in the pressure of the brake fluid as the motor rotation speed Nm increases when the driving of the electric motor 41 is started.
- step S104 the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to start restriction processing. As a result, electric motor 41 is driven while motor rotation speed Nm is limited based on the limit value set in step S103. After causing the motor control unit 11 to start the limiting process, the control device 10 shifts the process to step S105.
- step S105 the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to determine whether or not the target pressure PT is equal to or less than the limit determination value PTth. If target pressure PT is greater than limit determination value PTth (S105: NO), control device 10 shifts the process to step S107.
- step S107 the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to terminate the restriction process. As a result, the restriction on the motor rotation speed Nm is lifted. That is, the electric motor 41 is driven such that the motor rotation speed Nm follows the target rotation speed NT.
- the control device 10 causes the motor control section 11 to end the limiting process, it ends this processing routine.
- step S105 if the target pressure PT is equal to or less than the limit determination value PTth (S105: YES), the control device 10 shifts the process to step S106.
- step S106 the control device 10 causes the acquisition unit 12 to update the target pressure PT.
- the acquisition unit 12 calculates the target pressure PT at the time of executing the process of step S106 and updates the target pressure PT.
- the control device 10 shifts the process to step S105 again. That is, through the processing of steps S105 and S106, the limitation of the motor rotation speed Nm is continued until the target pressure PT exceeds the limitation determination value PTth. In other words, when the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth, the limit on the motor rotation speed Nm is lifted.
- FIG. 3 shows the transition of the motor rotation speed Nm when the braking of the vehicle is started.
- the generation of the frictional braking force is requested from timing t11.
- the target pressure PT starts increasing from timing t11 at which the generation of the frictional braking force is required.
- the limit determination value PTth is set by requesting the generation of the frictional braking force (S102).
- a slope limit value that increases as the background noise level BN increases is set (S103), and the limit of the motor rotation speed Nm is started (S104).
- the motor rotation speed Nm is kept smaller than the target rotation speed NT, as shown in FIG. 3(b).
- the target pressure PT is increased at a constant speed after timing t11.
- the target pressure PT does not exceed the limit determination value PTth before timing t12. Therefore, during the period from timing t11 to timing t12, the motor rotation speed Nm continues to be restricted (S105, S106).
- the limit on the motor rotation speed Nm is lifted (S107). Therefore, after timing t12, motor rotation speed Nm is controlled based on target rotation speed NT.
- the period from timing t11 to timing t12 is the period for limiting the increase speed of the motor rotation speed Nm.
- control device 10 it is possible to prevent the motor rotation speed Nm from increasing during the period from when the braking of the vehicle is started until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the sound generated by the driving of the electric motor 41 during this period, and the driver is less likely to feel discomfort.
- the controller 10 calculates the limit determination value PTth smaller as the background noise level BN increases. Therefore, the greater the background noise level BN, the shorter the period until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth. That is, the period during which the speed of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm is restricted tends to be shortened. Therefore, when the background noise level BN is high and the driving sound of the electric motor 41 is permissible, the period for limiting the increase speed of the motor rotation speed Nm can be shortened to ensure responsiveness. As a result, it is possible to prevent the motor rotation speed Nm from becoming high at the initial stage of braking, and to shorten the period during which the speed of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm is restricted, thereby ensuring responsiveness.
- the speed at which the motor rotation speed Nm increases while the target pressure PT is equal to or less than the limit determination value PTth is limited by the slope limit value that increases as the background noise level BN increases.
- limit determination value PTth can be calculated to be smaller as the temperature of brake fluid and the temperature of friction material 32 are lower. As a result, it is possible to shorten the period during which the speed of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm is limited, thereby ensuring responsiveness. Further, in the control device 10, the lower the temperature of the brake fluid or the temperature of the friction material 32 is, the larger the gradient limit value can be, thereby loosening the limit on the increase speed of the motor rotation speed Nm. As a result, it is possible to reduce the decrease in responsiveness due to the limitation of the motor rotation speed Nm and secure the responsiveness.
- FIG. 4 shows an example in which the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is higher than in the example shown in FIG.
- the generation of the frictional braking force is requested from timing t21.
- the period until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth is shortened by increasing the rate of increase of the target pressure PT. That is, the period during which the increase speed of the motor rotation speed Nm is restricted is shortened.
- the limit on the motor rotation speed Nm is lifted.
- the motor rotation speed Nm is increased as the target rotation speed NT increases.
- the control device 10 when the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is large, the period for limiting the rate of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm can be shortened, and the motor rotation speed Nm can be increased early. . As a result, it is possible to drive the pump 42 at a high motor rotation speed Nm while securing a period for suppressing the increase in noise generated by driving the electric motor 41, thereby securing responsiveness. Therefore, even when sudden braking is required, it is possible to generate a frictional braking force in accordance with the request.
- the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is lower than in the example shown in FIG. 3, the period until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth becomes longer. That is, the period during which the speed of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm is restricted becomes longer. Therefore, when the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is low, it is possible to further suppress the increase in the noise generated by driving the electric motor 41 .
- Figures 3 and 4 show examples in which the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is constant after the start of braking.
- the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth at an earlier time than when the target pressure PT is constant. Therefore, when the rate of increase of the target pressure PT increases, the restriction on the rate of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm is quickly lifted.
- the control device 10 it is possible to ensure responsiveness according to the target pressure PT.
- the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is reduced during braking, the period until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth becomes longer than when the target pressure PT is constant. Therefore, when the rate of increase of the target pressure PT is reduced, it is possible to further suppress the driver from feeling uncomfortable due to the sound originating from the electric motor 41 .
- the rate of change of the target pressure PT during operation may not be constant and may vary.
- the value of change speed may change like noise.
- the increase speed of the motor rotation speed Nm is limited based on the target pressure PT being equal to or less than the limit determination value PTth. Therefore, it is possible to control the speed of increase of the motor rotation speed Nm in response to sudden braking or gentle braking without being affected by variations in the rate of change of the target pressure PT.
- the friction braking device 20 there is one in which the braking operation member 92 is joined to the master cylinder and the pressure mechanism 40 is integrated with the master cylinder or the like.
- the pressurizing mechanism 40 is necessarily positioned near the front of the driver who operates the brake operating member 92 .
- the pressurizing mechanism 40 is then firmly connected to the vehicle body. Therefore, the sound and vibration generated by driving the electric motor 41 are more likely to be transmitted to the driver.
- the control device 10 of the present embodiment which can suppress discomfort caused by the sound originating from the electric motor 41, becomes more effective.
- the increasing speed of the motor rotation speed Nm is limited by the limiting process.
- an upper limit motor rotation speed NL is set as the upper limit of the motor rotation speed Nm.
- the motor control unit 11 limits the motor rotation speed Nm to be equal to or lower than the smaller one of the upper limit motor rotation speed NL and the target rotation speed NT during the period until the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth. can be done. Therefore, when the motor rotation speed Nm reaches the upper limit motor rotation speed NL at timing t32 before timing t33, the motor rotation speed Nm is kept constant. After that, when the target pressure PT exceeds the limit determination value PTth at timing t33, the restriction on the motor rotation speed Nm is lifted, and the electric motor 41 is driven so that the motor rotation speed Nm follows the target rotation speed NT.
- the motor control unit 11 should set the upper limit motor rotation speed NL in addition to the slope limit value in the process of step S103 in FIG.
- the upper limit motor rotation speed NL may use a value calculated in advance by experiments or the like.
- the upper limit motor rotation speed NL may be calculated as a larger value as the background noise level BN increases.

More specifically, control device 110 can prevent the rotation speed of electric motor 141 from increasing during the period from when braking of the vehicle is started until the index value exceeds the limit determination value. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the sound generated by driving the electric motor 141 during the period, and the driver is less likely to feel uncomfortable.
- the gradient limit value set in this case can be calculated as a value that can reduce the collision between the gears as the rotation speed increases when the electric motor 141 starts to drive.

Abstract
Description
図1は、制御装置10と摩擦制動装置20とを備える車両を示す。制御装置10は、摩擦制動装置20を制御対象とする。摩擦制動装置20は、車両に摩擦制動力を発生させることができる。摩擦制動装置20を搭載する車両は、制動操作部材92を備えている。制動操作部材92は、車両の運転者による操作が可能である。制動操作部材92の一例は、ブレーキペダルである。車両は、車両を自動走行させるための指令値を算出する自動運転制御部80を備えていてもよい。自動運転制御部80は、制御装置10との間で情報を送受信することができる。
摩擦制動装置20について説明する。摩擦制動装置20は、車両の各車輪91に対応した制動機構30を備えている。図1には、車両が備える車輪91のうち一つの車輪91と、当該車輪91に対応した制動機構30を例示している。他の車輪91および制動機構30については図示を省略している。
車両は、各種センサを備えている。図1には、各種センサの一例として、ブレーキセンサ93および車輪速センサ94を示している。各種センサからの検出信号は、制御装置10に入力される。
制御装置10について説明する。制御装置10は、各種の制御を実行する複数の機能部によって構成されている。図1には、機能部の一例として、モータ制御部11および取得部12を示している。
図2は、制御装置10が実行する処理の流れを示す。本処理ルーチンは、摩擦制動力の発生が要求されると開始される。たとえば、本処理ルーチンは、制動操作部材92が操作され始めたときに開始される。車両が自動走行されている場合には、本処理ルーチンは、自動運転制御部80によって制動が要求されたときに開始することができる。
ステップS103では、制御装置10は、モータ制御部11にモータ回転数Nmの制限値を設定させる。ここでは、モータ制御部11は、モータ回転数Nmの増加速度を制限する勾配制限値を設定する。勾配制限値は、モータ回転数Nmが増加する傾きに対応する値である。勾配制限値を小さくしてモータ回転数Nmの増加速度が制限されると、モータ回転数Nmが大きくなるまでの期間が長くされる。
ステップS104では、制御装置10は、モータ制御部11に制限処理を開始させる。この結果として、ステップS103において設定された制限値に基づいてモータ回転数Nmが制限された状態で電動モータ41が駆動される。制御装置10は、モータ制御部11に制限処理を開始させると、処理をステップS105に移行する。
本実施形態の作用および効果について説明する。
図3は、車両の制動を開始する際のモータ回転数Nmの推移を示す。図3に示す例では、タイミングt11から摩擦制動力の発生が要求されている。
本実施形態は、以下のように変更して実施することができる。本実施形態および以下の変更例は、技術的に矛盾しない範囲で互いに組み合わせて実施することができる。
図5を用いて説明する。図5に示す例では、図5の(a)に示すように、タイミングt31から摩擦制動力の発生が要求されている。タイミングt33において目標圧PTが制限判定値PTthを超えている。
