Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of brake system monitoring, and in particular to a brake system leakage monitoring method. Background Art

[0002] This patent is mainly aimed at vehicles with electric drive systems, including hybrid and pure electric vehicles; it involves a method for active monitoring and alarm of brake fluid leakage in the braking system.

[0003] In recent years, with the vigorous development of automobiles towards electrification, intelligence, and networking; on the one hand, the proportion of electronic automobile parts continues to increase, and the brake system, as a key subsystem of the automobile, has also been gradually replaced by the electronic power-assisted braking solution from the traditional vacuum power-assisted solution. The electronic brake booster Ebooster, unlike the vacuum booster, integrates signals such as the brake pedal stroke and power-assisted current, providing greater possibilities for creating new functions. On the other hand, due to the intelligence of vehicles, higher requirements are also placed on the safety of automobiles. The current mainstream braking system uses hydraulic transmission to push the caliper piston; after a long period of use, or the pipeline is damaged by collision, the brake fluid leaks, and the basic braking system gradually loses its braking force; for this kind of fault condition, the current automobile system can only rely on the liquid level sensor in the brake reservoir to monitor and alarm when the brake fluid leaks very seriously, and ordinary drivers cannot predict it in advance, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0004] Prior art 1 discloses a solution, which places a liquid level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir and connects it to the controller through a hard wire; when the sensor detects that the liquid level is very low, it will actively alarm. The disadvantage of this solution is that it will only alarm when the leakage is very serious and the liquid level is lower than the minimum threshold, which cannot be predicted in advance and poses a great safety hazard. In addition, this solution can only monitor the brake fluid level in the reservoir, and cannot determine the specific leakage location.

[0005] Prior art 2 discloses a solution, which is mainly to place a liquid level closing switch and other sensors, such as temperature and water content detectors, in the brake fluid reservoir; when the brake fluid in the reservoir is abnormal, an alarm will be triggered. The disadvantage of this solution is that the main purpose is only to monitor the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir, and it cannot directly monitor brake fluid leakage, so slow leakage cannot be effectively monitored, and the cost is high due to the coordination of multiple sensors for monitoring. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a brake system leakage monitoring method to achieve timely and accurate identification of the leakage position in the brake system.

[0033] It is determined that the leakage location is the second pipeline.

[0034] According to the above scheme, the mean road surface judgment method is specifically as follows:

[0035] When it is determined that the brake fluid leakage position is located in the second-stage brake circuit, the specific judgment process of the brake fluid leakage position is as follows:
