[0065] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the application provides a hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method, the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method includes a detection method TEST1 for whether there is air or leakage at the position of a motor piston pump, and the TEST1 specifically includes:

[0067] S101, closing a piston pump valve to make the motor piston pump in a first closed space;

[0068] S102, building pressure in the first closed space by the motor piston pump, and when the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a first stroke A, the pressure of the first closed space is a first pressure;

[0069] S103, keeping the pressure of the first closed space at the first pressure for a first time A, and when the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a second stroke A;

[0070] S104, opening the piston pump valve, keeping the pressure of the first closed space at the first pressure, and operating the motor piston pump, and when the motor piston pump operates for a second time A, the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a third stroke A;

[0071] S105, in the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to a set threshold A, the detection parameter of the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified.

[0072] Specifically, the liquid in the first closed space meets the P-V characteristic curve, that is, a certain pressure P corresponds to a certain liquid volume V, if there is no leakage or air in the first closed space of the hydraulic brake system, the greater the liquid volume V, the greater the pressure P; if there is leakage or air in the first closed space of the hydraulic brake system, the required liquid volume V under the same pressure P is greater. Therefore, the stroke of the motor piston pump can reflect the increase of the volume V.

[0073] Specifically, in the S103 step, maintaining the pressure of the first closed space at the first pressure and for the first time A can obtain a stable motor piston pump stroke under static conditions; in the S104 step, operating the motor piston pump for the second time A can obtain a recognizable and stable motor piston pump stroke under dynamic conditions.

[0074] The threshold A can be calibrated according to the specific structure of the hydraulic brake system. If there is no air and leakage in the first closed space of the hydraulic brake system, the absolute values of the third stroke A and the second stroke A are measured, and the threshold A is determined according to the difference between the absolute values. If there is no leakage and air in the first closed space, the third stroke A is consistent with the second stroke A.

[0075] If the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is greater than the threshold A, the detection parameter of the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is unqualified.

[0076] In addition, after the detection of the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is completed, the stroke of the motor piston pump can be controlled to return to zero, and all valve bodies can be controlled to return to the power-off state to end the test process.

[0077] The hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method can be used to detect whether the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit leaks or whether there is residual air, and can clearly determine the specific position of the leakage and the air, thereby ensuring the stability of the brake function of the hydraulic brake system.

[0078] Further, the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method can be used for detection of the hydraulic brake system at the end of assembly and maintenance detection of the hydraulic brake system.

[0079] The hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method provided by the embodiment of the application includes closing a piston pump valve to place a motor piston pump in a first closed space; building pressure in the first closed space by the motor piston pump, wherein the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a first stroke A, and the pressure of the first closed space is a first pressure; maintaining the pressure of the first closed space at the first pressure for a first time A, wherein the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a second stroke A; opening the piston pump valve, maintaining the pressure of the first closed space at the first pressure, and operating the motor piston pump, wherein the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a third stroke A when the motor piston pump operates for a second time A; and in the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to a threshold A, the detection parameter of the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified, which can be used to detect whether the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit parameter is qualified, thereby ensuring the stability of the brake function of the hydraulic brake system.

[0080] Optionally, the motor piston pump has a calibration stroke A;

[0081] In the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to the set threshold value A and the first stroke A is less than or equal to the calibration stroke A, the detection parameter of the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified.

[0082] Specifically, the first stroke A is the stroke required for the motor piston pump to reach the first pressure for the first time. If the first stroke A is too large, it can be considered that there is air or leakage in the first closed space at this time.

[0083] The specific value of the calibration stroke A can be calibrated according to the specific structure of the hydraulic brake system. Generally, the distribution result of the first stroke A value measured when the motor piston pump builds pressure to the first pressure under the normal condition without air and leakage is determined.

[0084] In the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to the set threshold value A and the first stroke A is less than or equal to the calibration stroke A, the first closed space without air and leakage can be detected during the motor piston pump pressure building process, and the change during the operation of the motor piston pump is further used to confirm that the first closed space is without air and leakage, thereby ensuring the correctness of the judgment of whether the detection parameter of the first closed space is qualified.

[0085] Optionally, in the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to the set threshold value A and the first stroke A is greater than the calibration stroke A, the air content in the first closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is greater than the set value A.

[0086] Specifically, in the case that the first stroke A is greater than the calibration stroke A, it can be considered that there is air and / or leakage in the first closed space at this time. Further, in the case that the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is less than or equal to the set threshold value A, it can be considered that the sealing performance of the first closed space is good, that is, the problem of leakage in the first closed space is excluded, so that it can be confirmed that there is air in the first closed space of the hydraulic brake system, and the fluid circuit of the hydraulic brake system is detected in time and accurately.

[0087] In another embodiment, if the difference between the third stroke A and the second stroke A is greater than the set threshold value A and the first stroke A is greater than the calibration stroke A, then the first closed space of the hydraulic brake system at least has a leakage problem.

[0088] Optionally, the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method further comprises a detection method TEST2 for whether there is air or leakage at the position of the wheel cylinder system, and TEST2 specifically comprises:

[0089] S201, open the piston pump valve and the wheel cylinder inlet valve, close the master cylinder valve and the wheel cylinder outlet valve, so that the motor piston pump and the wheel cylinder are in the second closed space together;

[0090] S202, build pressure in the second closed space by the motor piston pump, and when the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the first stroke B, the pressure of the second closed space is the second pressure;

[0091] S203, keep the pressure of the second closed space at the second pressure for the first time B, and the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the second stroke B;

[0092] S204, open the piston pump valve, keep the pressure of the second closed space at the second pressure, and run the motor piston pump, and when the motor piston pump runs for the second time B, the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the third stroke B;

[0093] S205, in the case that the difference between the third stroke B and the second stroke B is less than or equal to a set threshold B, the detection parameter of the second closed space in the hydraulic brake system circuit is qualified.

[0094] Specifically, in the S203 step, keeping the pressure of the second closed space at the second pressure for the first time B can obtain a stable motor piston pump stroke; in the S204 step, the motor piston pump runs for the second time B to obtain a recognizable and stable motor piston pump stroke under dynamic conditions.

[0095] The set threshold B can be calibrated according to the specific structure of the hydraulic brake system. If there is no air and leakage in the second closed space of the hydraulic brake system, the absolute values of the third stroke B and the second stroke B are measured, and the set threshold B is determined according to the difference between the absolute values. If there is no leakage and air in the second closed space, the third stroke B is consistent with the second stroke B.

[0096] If the difference between the third stroke B and the second stroke B is greater than the set threshold B, the detection parameter of the second closed space in the hydraulic brake system circuit is unqualified.

[0097] Specifically, the motor piston pump has a calibrated stroke B, and the specific value of the calibrated stroke B can be calibrated according to the specific structure of the hydraulic brake system. Generally, the distribution result of the first stroke B value when the motor piston pump builds pressure to the second pressure under normal conditions without air and leakage is determined.

[0098] In the case that the difference between the third stroke B and the second stroke B is less than or equal to a set threshold value B and the first stroke B is less than or equal to the nominal stroke B, the second closed space can be further confirmed to be free of air and leakage by the change in the operation of the motor piston pump, based on the detection of the second closed space being free of air and leakage during the pressure building of the motor piston pump, thereby ensuring the correctness of the judgment on whether the detection parameters of the second closed space are qualified.

[0099] In the case that the difference between the third stroke B and the second stroke B is less than or equal to a set threshold value B and the first stroke B is greater than the nominal stroke B, the air content in the second closed space of the hydraulic brake system hydraulic circuit is greater than a set value B, and it can be confirmed that there is air in the second closed space of the hydraulic brake system, so as to accurately detect the hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic brake system in time.

[0100] Optionally, the motor piston pump has a low nominal stroke and a high nominal stroke, and the hydraulic brake system hydraulic circuit detection method includes a detection method TEST3 for whether there is air or leakage at the position of the brake master cylinder system, and the TEST3 specifically includes:

[0101] S301, opening the piston pump valve, the master cylinder valve and the wheel cylinder inlet valve, and closing the simulator valve, the detection valve and the wheel cylinder outlet valve, so that the motor piston pump, the wheel cylinder and the brake master cylinder are together in a third closed space;

[0102] S302, building pressure in the third closed space by the motor piston pump, and in the case that the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a first stroke C, the pressure of the third closed space is a third pressure;

[0103] S303, in the case that the first stroke C is between a low nominal stroke and a high nominal stroke, the detection parameters of the third closed space in the hydraulic brake system hydraulic circuit are qualified.

[0104] Specifically, since the motor piston pump, the wheel cylinder and the brake master cylinder are together in the third closed space, the pressure of the third closed space is also the pressure of the brake master cylinder. The low nominal stroke and the high nominal stroke of the motor piston pump can be determined according to the actual test stroke value range of the motor piston pump building pressure to the third pressure when the third closed space is free of air and leakage.

[0105] In the case that the first stroke C is between the low nominal stroke and the high nominal stroke, the third closed space can be detected to be free of air and leakage during the pressure building of the motor piston pump, and in the case that the first stroke C is greater than the high nominal stroke, there is air or leakage in the third closed space, so as to accurately judge whether the detection parameters of the third closed space are qualified.

[0106] Optionally, when the first stroke C is less than a low-position calibrated stroke, at least one of the piston pump valve, the master cylinder valve, and the wheel cylinder inlet valve fails to open.

[0107] When the first stroke C is smaller than the low-position calibration stroke, that is, the actual value of the third enclosed space is smaller than the enclosed space of the motor piston pump, wheel cylinder and brake master cylinder together, so that the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the first stroke C in advance, it can be determined that at least one of the piston pump valve, the master cylinder valve and the wheel cylinder liquid inlet valve fails to open, and the detection process can be adjusted in a timely and accurate manner.

[0108] Optionally, the motor piston pump has a calibrated stroke D, and the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method includes a detection method TEST4 for determining whether there is air or leakage at the simulator system position. TEST4 specifically includes:

[0109] S401, opening the piston pump master cylinder valve, wheel cylinder inlet valve, and simulator valve, and closing the detection valve and wheel cylinder outlet valve, so that the motor piston pump, wheel cylinder, brake master cylinder, and simulator are all in the fourth closed space;

[0110] S402, the motor piston pump is used to build pressure in the fourth enclosed space. When the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the first stroke D, the pressure in the fourth enclosed space is the fourth pressure; that is, the pressure of the brake master cylinder

[0111] S403, maintaining the fourth closed space in a sealed state and after a first time D, the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a second stroke D, and the pressure of the brake master cylinder reaches a fourth pressure D1;

[0112] S404, while maintaining the sealed state of the fourth enclosed space and after the second time D has passed, the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the third stroke D, and the pressure of the brake master cylinder reaches the fourth pressure D2;

[0113] S405. When the first stroke D is less than or equal to the calibrated stroke D, the difference between the third stroke D and the second stroke D is less than or equal to the set threshold D, and the difference between the fourth pressure D2 and the fourth pressure D1 is less than or equal to the set pressure D, the detection parameters of the fourth enclosed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit are qualified.

[0114] Specifically, in step S403, the fourth enclosed space is kept sealed for a first time D in order to obtain a stable motor piston pump stroke and the pressure of the brake master cylinder; in step S404, the fourth enclosed space is kept sealed for a second time D in order to obtain an identifiable and stable motor piston pump stroke and the pressure of the brake master cylinder.

[0115] Specifically, when the first stroke D is less than or equal to the calibration stroke D, it can be initially considered that the fourth closed space is free of air and leakage during the motor piston pump pressure building process; and when the fourth closed space sealing state is maintained in sequence through the first time D and the second time D, the motor piston pump stroke and the brake master cylinder pressure change can be observed through a two-step static process; if the difference between the third stroke D and the second stroke D is less than or equal to a set threshold D, and the difference between the fourth pressure D2 and the fourth pressure D1 is less than or equal to a set pressure D, it can be confirmed that the detection parameters of the fourth closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit are qualified, and the correctness of the judgment of whether the detection parameters of the fourth closed space are qualified is ensured.

[0116] In an embodiment, when the first stroke D is greater than the calibration stroke D, it can be considered that the fourth closed space has air or leakage at this time.

[0117] Alternatively, when the first stroke D is greater than the calibration stroke D, the difference between the third stroke D and the second stroke D is less than or equal to a set threshold D, and the difference between the fourth pressure D2 and the fourth pressure D1 is less than or equal to a set pressure D, the air content of the fourth closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is greater than a set value D.

[0118] Specifically, when the first stroke D is greater than the calibration stroke D, it can be considered that the fourth closed space has air and / or leakage at this time; further, when the difference between the third stroke D and the second stroke D is less than or equal to a set threshold D, and the difference between the fourth pressure D2 and the fourth pressure D1 is less than or equal to a set pressure D, it can be considered that the sealing of the fourth closed space is good, that is, the problem of leakage of the fourth closed space is excluded, so it can be confirmed that there is air in the fourth closed space of the hydraulic brake system, and the fluid circuit of the hydraulic brake system is detected in time and accurately.

[0119] It is noted that the methods of TEST1, TEST2, TEST3 and TEST4 described above are universal, that is, TEST1, TEST2, TEST3 and TEST4 four methods can be exchanged for detection, such as using the method of TEST3 to detect whether there is air or leakage at the position of the motor piston pump; using the method of TEST1 to detect whether there is air or leakage at the position of the brake master cylinder system, or using the method of TEST1 to detect whether there is air or leakage at the position of the simulator system.

[0120] In addition, in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the detection can be performed in the order of TEST1, TEST2, TEST3 and TEST4, for example,Figure 2 The first detection process can be any one of TEST1, TEST2, TEST3 and TEST4, that is, the detection can be performed on the closed space formed by one component, or the detection can be performed on the closed space formed by multiple components together, and if the closed space formed by multiple components is qualified, the closed space formed by multiple components is qualified.

[0121] In one embodiment, the first test method adopts TEST4, and if the first stroke D is less than or equal to the calibration stroke D, the difference between the third stroke D and the second stroke D is less than or equal to the set threshold D, and the difference between the fourth pressure D2 and the fourth pressure D1 is less than or equal to the set pressure D, the detection parameter of the fourth closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified, that is, the detection of the space formed by the motor piston pump, the wheel cylinder, the brake master cylinder and the simulator is qualified, and the detection step can be simplified.

[0122] Optionally, the pedal includes a low pedal stroke and a high pedal stroke, and the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method includes a detection method TEST5 for whether there is air or leakage at the position of the brake master cylinder, and TEST5 specifically includes:

[0123] S501, the master cylinder valve and the simulator valve are closed, so that the brake master cylinder is in a fifth closed space;

[0124] S502, the fifth closed space is pressurized by the pedal, and when the stroke of the pedal reaches a first stroke E, the pressure of the fifth closed space is a fifth pressure;

[0125] S503, when the first stroke E is between the low pedal stroke and the high pedal stroke,

[0126] The detection parameter of the fifth closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified.

[0127] Specifically, since the pedal is arranged close to the brake master cylinder, the fifth closed space including the brake master cylinder is pressurized by the pedal, which can shorten the path for pressurizing the brake master cylinder, and the brake master cylinder can be quickly pressurized by a small pedal stroke; for example, if there is no air and leakage in the closed space, the point at which the actual pedal feedback force is relatively stable can be 3MPa.

[0128] If there is air or leakage in the fifth closed space, the idle stroke for pressurizing the brake master cylinder is too large, and the pedal stroke needs to be greater than the high pedal stroke to reach the fifth pressure; if the idle stroke for pressurizing the brake master cylinder is very small, only a small pedal stroke is needed to reach the fifth pressure.

[0129] Specifically, when the first stroke E is between the low pedal stroke and the high pedal stroke, the detection parameter of the fifth closed space in the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit is qualified; when the first stroke E is greater than the high pedal stroke, the fifth closed space has air or excessive air gap; and when the first stroke E is less than the low pedal stroke, the air gap for building pressure of the brake master cylinder is too small, the pedal stroke is small, and the pedal stroke needs to be adjusted.

[0130] Optionally, the detection parameter of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit includes the air content and the sealing of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit.

[0131] Specifically, the hydraulic brake system provides braking force by building pressure through the fluid circuit to quickly realize braking of the vehicle; and if there is air or leakage in the fluid circuit, the building pressure speed and building pressure of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit are affected, which delays or fails the braking of the vehicle.

[0132] The detection parameter of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit includes the air content and the sealing of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit, that is, the air content and the sealing of the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit can be detected by the hydraulic brake system fluid circuit detection method to ensure the timeliness and braking effect of the hydraulic brake system.

[0136] a first pressure detection unit 210 for detecting the pressure of the first closed space;

[0137] When the first stroke detection unit 213 detects that the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a first stroke A, the first pressure detection unit 210 detects that the pressure of the first closed space is a first pressure;

[0138] When the pressure of the first closed space is maintained at the first pressure for a first time A, the first stroke detection unit 213 detects that the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches a second stroke A;

[0139] The first closed space is kept at the first pressure, and the motor piston pump is operated, and the first stroke detection unit 213 detects that the stroke of the motor piston pump reaches the third stroke A in the case that the motor piston pump is operated for a second time A.
