Vehicle brake system

An improved vehicle brake system for controlling the frictional braking force and the regenerative braking force to be applied to a wheel of a vehicle. The brake system reduces the regenerative braking force to a predetermined force and keeps the regenerative braking force at the predetermined force before the start of anti-lock control. When the anti-lock control starts, the brake system decreases the regenerative braking force from the predetermined force. With this arrangement, it is possible to quickly eliminate a locking tendency of any wheel of the vehicle, thereby stabilizing the vehicle.

Vehicle, control method of vehicle, and driving apparatus

Upon the occurrence of the abnormality that the inverter for driving the motor is in the one-phase short circuited state, this inverter is stopped in the three-phase short circuited state and sets the execution torque by subtracting the counter electromotive force application torque that is applied the driveshaft due to the counter electromotive force generated by rotation of the motor and the steering angle application torque corresponding to the steering angle from the torque demand according to the step-on amount of the accelerator pedal. The engine and the inverter for driving the motor is controlled so that the vehicle is driven with the set execution torque. This enables the driving force output to the driveshaft from the engine and the motor to be in accordance with the torque demand.

Motion control apparatus for vehicle

In rollover prevention control, an inner front wheel braking force is generated only in a front wheel located on the radially inner side of a turning locus in a relatively early stage where the absolute value of actual lateral acceleration is between a first value and a second value. When the absolute value becomes greater than the second value, in addition to the inner front wheel braking force, an inner rear wheel braking force is generated in a rear wheel located on the radially inner side of the turning locus. When the absolute value becomes greater than a third value, in addition to the inner rear wheel breaking wheel, an outer wheel braking force is generated in the front wheel located on the radially outer side of the turning locus. Thus, an increase in the roll angle is suppressed, and a desired turning locus tracing performance is maintained satisfactorily.

Automatic external adjustable spool braking system

InactiveUS20110079672A1Brake controlPrevent reboundReelsAxial forceEngineering
In a fishing reel, in addition to an externally adjustable brake system, an automatic spool brake system adjusts spool braking action dependent upon spool rotation speed to provide brake control for preventing backlash and to achieve better casting distance by reducing spool braking force at low spool rotation speeds. A brake assembly has a plurality of brake shoes and speed adjust shoes and is slidably mounted on a spool shaft. An adjustable brake ring selectively engages the brake shoes to provide a braking action to the spool. A spring is provided for biasing the brake assembly away from the brake. Centrifugal force causes the speed adjust shoes to migrate outwardly in contact with a conical surface. The shoes impart an axial force to the brake assembly for moving the assembly towards the brake ring. At lower speeds, the spring pushes the brake assembly away from the brake ring.

The control method comprises a control process for performing left deflection obstacle avoidance and a control process for performing right deflection obstacle avoidance on a vehicle in linear driving. In the process of obstacle avoidance through the control method, the distance between the Zaxis and the center Q1 of a left rear wheel serves as a force arm Lf or the distance between the Z axis and the center Q2 of a right rear wheel serves as a force arm Lr, so that the force arm Lf or Lrkeeps the maximum value all the time in the process of torque control through the resultant force of the acting force of the rear wheels. When the same control torque is needed, the braking force resultant force applied to the rear wheels can be reduced, and particularly, the effect can be achieved under the road surface conditions with low ground adhesion coefficients, such as wet and slippery or iced road surfaces; and under the condition that the same acting force resultant force is applied to the rear wheels, larger control torque can be generated on the Z axis, and a vehicle head can quickly steer to avoid colliding with obstacles when the vehicle avoids the front obstacles.
