[0040] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0041] First, as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a brake system fluid replenishment control method is provided in this embodiment, which is applied to the situation where the braking force generated by the brake system of the vehicle cannot meet the braking demand of the vehicle under the problem of thermal decay, and is applied to the situation where the first pressure buildup cannot meet the braking demand of the vehicle due to the allocation of the working mode of the brake system of the vehicle without thermal decay. Specifically, a complete vehicle brake system is introduced and explained; the brake system includes an oil pot 110, a pedal 120, a master cylinder 130, a main motor 140, a piston chamber 150, a redundant motor 160 and a pump body 170, wherein the pedal 120 and the master cylinder 130 constitute a mechanical pressure building module, the main motor 140 and the piston chamber 150 constitute a main pressure building module, and the redundant motor 160 and the pump body 170 constitute a redundant pressure building module, the mechanical pressure building module and the main pressure building module are connected in parallel between the oil pot 110 and the redundant pressure building module, and the redundant pressure building module is further connected to the vehicle wheel end 180 to form a complete brake circuit 10. It should be noted that the brake circuit 10 includes a branch line 11, and the above-mentioned main pressure building module is arranged on the branch line 11. The main pressure building module is connected in parallel with the mechanical pressure building module through the branch line 11. At the same time, a first one-way valve 12 is arranged on the branch line 11. Based on the setting of the first one-way valve 12, the oil in the oil tank 110 can be input into the main pressure building module through the branch line 11, while the oil in the brake circuit 10 and the main pressure building module cannot return to the oil tank 110 through the branch line 11.

[0042] Based on the above vehicle braking system, a braking system fluid replenishment control method of this embodiment includes:

[0043] Step S1, obtaining the hydraulic pressure value of the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 after the pressure is built up by the pressure building module.

[0044] It should be noted that the pressure building module proposed herein includes the above-mentioned mechanical pressure building module, main pressure building module and redundant pressure building module. In step S1, at least one of the mechanical pressure building module, main pressure building module and redundant pressure building module works to build pressure, so that the oil in the oil tank 110 is drawn into the brake circuit 10 as brake fluid. In this process, due to thermal decay, the liquid pressure in the brake circuit 10 is less than the liquid pressure actually generated by the pressure building module, and the liquid pressure value of the brake fluid actually in the brake circuit 10 is obtained by a certain measurement method.

[0045] Step S2: Determine whether the hydraulic pressure value reaches the hydraulic pressure threshold required for vehicle braking.

[0046] It should be noted that the hydraulic threshold required for vehicle braking is not fixed, and it will change according to the specific vehicle driving state and the external environment. The preferred hydraulic threshold is the current vehicle braking demand. In this step S2, the hydraulic pressure value obtained in step S1 is compared with the hydraulic threshold required for vehicle braking, and then it is determined whether the current hydraulic pressure value can meet the vehicle braking demand. For example, after a pressure buildup by the pressure building module, the actual hydraulic pressure value in the brake circuit 10 is 100 bar in the case of thermal decay, and the hydraulic pressure required for the current vehicle braking is 180 bar. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit 10 cannot meet the vehicle braking demand. If the hydraulic pressure required for the current vehicle braking is 100 bar, then the hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit 10 can meet the vehicle braking demand.

[0047] Step S3: When the hydraulic pressure value does not reach the hydraulic pressure threshold, the brake fluid is stored in the brake circuit 10, and the pressure building module is controlled to build pressure again.

[0048] Taking the above-mentioned case where the actual hydraulic pressure value in the brake circuit 10 is 100 bar under the condition of thermal decay, and the hydraulic pressure required for the current vehicle braking is 180 bar as an example, of course, when the first pressure building work allocated by the brake system in the case of no thermal decay makes the hydraulic pressure value in the brake circuit 10 100 bar, the same reason is as follows: at this time, the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 cannot meet the braking needs of the vehicle. In this step S3, the existing brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 is stored in the brake circuit 10, that is, the pressure is maintained, and the vehicle's brake system controls the pressure building module to build pressure again, so that at least one of the mechanical pressure building module, the main pressure building module and the redundant pressure building module works, so that the oil in the oil tank 110 is extracted again as brake fluid and enters the brake circuit 10, so that the brake fluid entering the brake circuit 10 this time is mixed and superimposed with the brake fluid for pressure maintenance, thereby increasing the hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit 10 to meet the braking needs of the vehicle. It should be noted that, when the pressure building module forms a hydraulic pressure of at least 80 bar after building up pressure again, the sum of the hydraulic pressure and the 100 bar hydraulic pressure for pressure maintenance is not less than 180 bar. At this time, the brake circuit 10 has brake fluid with sufficient hydraulic pressure, which can better meet the braking needs of the vehicle; when the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid formed after the pressure building module builds up pressure again is less than 80 bar, the sum of the hydraulic pressure and the 100 bar hydraulic pressure for pressure maintenance is less than 180 bar. At this time, the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 still cannot meet the braking needs of the vehicle. At this time, the mixed and superimposed brake fluid is pressure-maintained in the brake circuit 10 again, and the vehicle's braking system controls the pressure building module to build up pressure again until the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 has a hydraulic pressure of at least 180 bar to meet the braking needs of the vehicle.

[0049] In some embodiments, a first solenoid valve 190 is provided in the brake circuit 10. Specifically, the mechanical pressure building module and the main pressure building module are connected in parallel between the oil tank 110 and the first solenoid valve 190, and the redundant pressure building module is respectively connected to the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180.

[0050] In the above step S3, when the hydraulic pressure value does not reach the hydraulic pressure threshold, the brake fluid is stored in the brake line 10. Specifically, the brake system controls the first solenoid valve 190 to be closed.

[0051] It can be understood that after the mechanical pressure building module, the main pressure building module and the redundant pressure building module extract the oil in the oil tank 110 as brake fluid and enter the brake circuit 10, the brake fluid can flow toward the vehicle wheel end 180, so that the brake fluid can flow between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180. When the first solenoid valve 190 is in the closed state, the brake circuit 10 can be disconnected, so that the brake fluid can be stored between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180, achieving the effect of maintaining pressure, and then the vehicle's braking system can control the pressure building module to build pressure again until the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 can meet the vehicle's braking needs.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the function of the first solenoid valve 190 here is not simply to store the brake fluid between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 . It can be understood that when the first solenoid valve 190 is in a closed state, the brake circuit 10 is disconnected. On the one hand, it can prevent the brake fluid from flowing back to the oil pot 110, so that a pressure-maintaining effect can be formed. On the other hand, it can prevent the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 from flowing back when the pressure-building module extracts the oil again, so as to avoid affecting the effect of re-pressure building. For example, after the pressure building through the main pressure-building module fails to meet the braking demand of the vehicle, when the main pressure-building module is used to build pressure again, the main pressure-building module will perform a back-drawing action to extract oil to fill the piston chamber 150. At this time, the first solenoid valve 190 is in a closed state, and the main pressure-building module can only extract the oil in the oil pot 110 through the mechanical pressure-building module and / or the branch line 11. If the first solenoid valve 190 is not set, the main pressure-building module will also extract the existing brake fluid in the brake circuit 10, so that the original brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 is lost, so that the pressure-building effect of the main pressure-building module is reduced or lost.

[0053] In some embodiments, a second solenoid valve 210 is provided in the brake circuit 10 . The second solenoid valve 210 is arranged in parallel with the first solenoid valve 190 in the brake circuit 10 .

[0054] In the above step S3, when the hydraulic pressure value does not reach the hydraulic threshold, the brake fluid is stored in the brake line 10, and the pressure building module is controlled to build pressure again. The specific action is that the brake system controls the first solenoid valve 190 to close and controls the second solenoid valve 210 to open.

[0055] It is understandable that, after the pressure building module builds pressure, the hydraulic pressure value does not reach the hydraulic threshold value. At this time, the first solenoid valve 190 is controlled to be closed, so that the brake fluid is stored between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180, and the second solenoid valve 210 is controlled to be opened, so that when the pressure building module builds pressure again, the oil extracted from the oil pot 110 can be transported to the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 through the second solenoid valve 210, so that the brake fluid that builds pressure again can be mixed and superimposed with the brake fluid in the pressure maintenance, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid, so that the braking requirements of the vehicle can be met. Further, the second solenoid valve 210 can also be equivalent to a one-way valve, so that when the second solenoid valve 210 is in an open state, it can only satisfy the flow of oil between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180, but cannot achieve the reverse flow of oil between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 back to the oil pot 110, thereby better ensuring the effect of building pressure again.

[0056] In some embodiments, a fluid storage tank 220 is provided in the brake circuit 10 between the second solenoid valve 210 and the vehicle wheel end 180. The fluid storage tank 220 is provided to cope with more extreme vehicle conditions. Specifically, there is a situation where the pressure building module extracts oil from the oil pot 110 and outputs it to the vehicle wheel end 180 as brake fluid, and then discharges the brake fluid into the fluid storage tank 220 after the vehicle is braked.

[0057] In the above step S3, when the hydraulic pressure value does not reach the hydraulic threshold, the brake fluid is stored in the brake circuit 10, and the pressure building module is controlled to build pressure again. The braking system controls the first solenoid valve 190 to close, and the redundant pressure building module can draw oil from the fluid storage tank 220 as brake fluid and input it between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180.

[0058] It can be understood that at this time, the second solenoid valve 210 can be in an open state or a closed state. The pressure building module builds up pressure again through the redundant pressure building module. The redundant motor 160 will drive the pump body 170 to extract the oil in the liquid storage tank 220, so that the oil in the liquid storage tank 220 is input as brake fluid between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180, thereby increasing the brake fluid in the overall brake circuit 10, thereby achieving the purpose of meeting the vehicle braking needs.

[0059] It should be noted that the fluid storage tank 220 is connected to the pump body 170 via a second one-way valve 230, and the second one-way valve 230 can satisfy the oil in the brake line 10 to flow into the fluid storage tank 220. At the same time, when an outward pumping force is applied to the second one-way valve 230 through the pump body 170, the second one-way valve 230 can also satisfy the oil in the fluid storage tank 220 to flow out into the brake line 10.

[0060] In some embodiments, a pressure sensor 240 is provided in the brake line 10 .

[0061] In the above step S1, at least one of the mechanical pressure building module, the main pressure building module and the redundant pressure building module works to build pressure, so that the oil in the oil tank 110 is extracted as brake fluid and enters the brake circuit 10. In this process, due to thermal decay, the liquid pressure in the brake circuit 10 is smaller than the liquid pressure actually generated by the pressure building module. The pressure sensor 240 can better obtain the liquid pressure value of the brake fluid actually in the brake circuit 10, and can achieve a real-time monitoring effect.

[0062] In the above step S2, the braking system of the vehicle obtains the hydraulic pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 240 and determines whether to perform a pressure holding action and build up pressure again.

[0063] Of course, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 240 is used to detect the hydraulic pressure value in the brake circuit 10. In fact, other methods can also be used, such as detecting the temperature of the brake disc, as long as the corresponding technical effects and advantages can be achieved.

[0064] In order to further explain in detail a brake system fluid replenishment control method in this embodiment, the following is a specific practical explanation. The mechanical pressure building module in the vehicle's brake system also includes a third solenoid valve 250, and the main pressure building module also includes a fourth solenoid valve 260, wherein the third solenoid valve 250 is located on the side of the master cylinder 130 away from the oil pot 110, and the piston chamber 150 is connected to the branch line 11 through the fourth solenoid valve 260.

[0065] Taking the pressure building through the main pressure building module as an example, the first solenoid valve 190 and the fourth solenoid valve 260 are in the power-on open state, the second solenoid valve 210 and the third solenoid valve 250 are in the power-off closed state, the main motor 140 and the piston chamber 150 extract the oil in the oil pot 110 through the fourth solenoid valve 260 and the branch line 11, at this time, the driver steps on the pedal 120 so that the main motor 140 controls the piston in the piston chamber 150 to push the oil into the brake line 10 as brake fluid, and the brake fluid enters the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle through the first solenoid valve 190 in the brake line 10. Between the wheel ends 180, during this process, the pressure sensor 240 can detect the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 and thus obtain a real-time hydraulic pressure value; after the vehicle's braking system obtains the hydraulic pressure value, it compares it with the hydraulic threshold required for the current vehicle braking, and then determines whether the brake fluid in the current brake circuit 10 can meet the current vehicle braking needs; taking the hydraulic pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 240 as 100 bar, and the hydraulic pressure required for the current vehicle braking is 180 bar as an example, in this case, the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 cannot meet the current vehicle braking needs.

[0066] Based on the above, the vehicle's braking system controls the first solenoid valve 190 to close, preserves the brake fluid in the brake circuit 10 after the pressure buildup, that is, maintains the brake fluid pressure between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180, and controls the second solenoid valve 210 to open.

[0067] There are several ways to build up pressure again:

[0068] The first one is combined Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, after the first solenoid valve 190 is closed, the main motor 140 drives the piston in the piston chamber 150 to pull back and extract the oil in the oil pot 110 and push the oil in the piston chamber 150 out again to build up pressure, so that the oil in the piston chamber 150 is output to the brake circuit 10 as brake fluid, and the brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup is input into the space between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 through the second solenoid valve 210 and mixed with the pressure-maintaining brake fluid, and the brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup will also be detected by the pressure sensor 240. If the liquid pressure of the brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup is less than 80 bar, a third pressure buildup is required until the vehicle braking requirements can be met.

[0069] The second type is combined Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, after the first solenoid valve 190 is closed, the redundant motor 160 and the pump body 170 draw oil from the oil tank 110 through the second solenoid valve 210 and the branch line 11 to build up pressure, and then the pump body 170 pumps the drawn oil as brake fluid to between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 and mixes it with the pressure-maintaining brake fluid. The brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup will also be detected by the pressure sensor 240. If the liquid pressure of the brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup is less than 80 bar, a third pressure buildup is required until the vehicle braking requirements can be met.

[0070] The third type, combined Figure 6 As shown, after the first solenoid valve 190 is closed, the redundant motor 160 and the pump body 170 build up pressure by extracting oil from the reservoir 220 as brake fluid. The pump body 170 extracts the oil from the reservoir 220 as brake fluid between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 and mixes it with the pressure-maintaining brake fluid. The brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup will also be detected by the pressure sensor 240. If the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid formed by the second pressure buildup is less than 80 bar, a third pressure buildup is required until the vehicle braking requirements can be met.

[0071] The fourth method is to open the third solenoid valve 250 after the first solenoid valve 190 is closed, and the mechanical pressure building module builds pressure by extracting oil from the oil tank 110, and inputs the oil in the oil tank 110 as brake fluid through the second solenoid valve 210 to between the first solenoid valve 190 and the vehicle wheel end 180 and mixes with the pressure-maintaining brake fluid. The brake fluid formed by the second pressure building will also be detected by the pressure sensor 240. If the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid formed by the second pressure building is less than 80 bar, a third pressure building is required until the vehicle braking requirements can be met.

[0072] Furthermore, in the second, third and fourth methods described above, after the first solenoid valve 190 is closed, the redundant pressure building module and / or the mechanical pressure building module are used to build up pressure again. During this process, since the fourth solenoid valve 260 is in an open state, the main motor 140 can control the piston in the piston chamber 150 to pull back and extract the oil in the oil pot 110, such as Figure 5 This has two advantages. First, the main motor 140 and the redundant motor 160 can simultaneously work to accelerate the flow rate of the oil in the oil tank 110 into the brake circuit 10, thereby improving the efficiency of vehicle braking under thermal decay conditions. Second, the piston chamber 150 can be filled with oil in advance to prepare for the need to build pressure again. Figure 8 As shown, for example, when the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid formed by the redundant pressure building module is less than 80 bar, a third pressure building is required. At this time, the third pressure building can be carried out using the prepared main pressure building module. The main pressure building module can immediately push the oil in the piston chamber 150 out for pressure building, and the effect speed is faster, which can improve the efficiency of vehicle braking under thermal decay conditions.
