With the development of electric vehicles and intelligent driving technology, the performance of the braking system, such as redundant backup braking, wire control braking, high energy recovery, brake pedal feel and low noise, has received extensive attention.

[0003] At present, the commonly used solutions for automobile braking systems are the One Box solution and the Two Box (e-Booster electronic booster + ESC body stability system) solution. The One Box solution integrates e-Booster and ESC into the same module. The One Box solution is difficult to meet high-level braking driving requirements due to its low redundancy. The Two Box solution has a high degree of redundancy and can meet the needs of high-level autonomous driving, and is gradually recognized by major OEMs. Among them, the e-Booster in the Two Box solution can be roughly divided into the following solutions: non-decoupling, mechanical decoupling, and hydraulic decoupling. The non-decoupling solution cannot independently realize the braking energy collection, and the mechanical decoupling has the disadvantages of poor pedal feel. The hydraulic decoupling solution can make up for the shortcomings of the two and is gradually recognized by major OEMs. The electronic hydraulic decoupling braking system is an advanced automotive braking technology that uses an electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve precise control of the braking pressure, thereby providing better braking performance and safety.

The electronic hydraulic decoupling brake system according to claim 1, characterized in that: When the fail-safe braking mode is executed, the following controls are performed, including: The control unit ECU (19) performs a power-off operation after recognizing that a valve fails, the self-test valve (3), the first isolation valve (14) and the second isolation valve (15) are powered off and opened, and the pedal feeling simulator solenoid valve (10), the pressure building unit solenoid valve (12), the suction valve 1 (17) and the suction valve 2 (18) are powered off and closed; When the driver steps on the brake pedal (6), the hydraulic pressure in the brake master cylinder (9) increases, and the brake fluid flows to the wheel cylinder through the first isolation valve (14), the second isolation valve (15) and the ESC module (20) to generate braking force.

7. The electronic hydraulic decoupling brake system according to claim 1, characterized in that: When executing HBC working condition rehydration mode, the following controls are performed, including: When the HBC function is triggered, if the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder (9) is insufficient, the brake fluid flows directly into the ESC module (20) through the ESC auxiliary oil supply circuit check valve (1) and the self-check valve parallel check valve (7).

8. The electronic hydraulic decoupling brake system according to claim 1, characterized in that: When the driver requests power-assist mode, the following controls are performed, including: When the driver requests the power-assist mode to be triggered and the braking energy recovery condition is met, the control unit ECU (19) requests the vehicle to execute the designed recovery torque and controls the pressure building unit (16) to reduce the brake fluid pressure.
