[0002] With the development of automobile electrification, intelligentization and drive-by-wire, the electromechanical brake system develops rapidly and can make up for the shortcomings of traditional brake systems. According to the Chinese national standard GB-7258, a motor vehicle shall be provided with a brake system or device sufficient to slow down, stop and park the vehicle, and the control device of the service brake and the control device of the parking brake shall be independent of each other. The parking mechanism of the electronic mechanical brake uses the power transmission route of the locking brake to realize the parking function.
[0003] Chinese patent CN118636853A discloses an actuator integrated with parking control and an electronic mechanical brake system, which comprises a motor, a transmission mechanism, an EPB coil and a locking pin. The transmission mechanism has a transmission gear with a wave surface. The EPB coil is divided into an EPB unlocking coil and an EPB locking coil. The cooperation between the locking pin and the transmission gear with the wave surface is realized by controlling the on-off of the two coils through the circuit board, the rotation of the gear is limited, and the parking is completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0073] With reference to Figures 1-5 The brake of the present application comprises a control unit, a housing 101, a driving brake motor 111, a parking brake motor 112, a transmission mechanism 120 and an execution mechanism, the transmission mechanism 120 amplifies the output torque of the motor, and the execution mechanism converts the rotary motion of the motor into linear motion. The brake caliper 200 is installed on the brake support 203, the driving brake motor 111 and the parking brake motor 112 are respectively in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 120, the transmission mechanism 120 is in transmission connection with the execution mechanism, so as to drive the execution mechanism to push the brake block 201 located on the brake caliper 200 and the brake support 203 to move, so as to realize clamping the brake disc 202 to generate braking torque. The control unit can adopt conventional controller in the art. The control unit is respectively connected with the driving brake motor 111 and the parking brake motor 112 and the parking motor 141.
[0074] The transmission mechanism 120 comprises a service brake driving wheel 121, a parking brake driving wheel 122, a service brake idler wheel 123, a parking brake idler wheel 124 and a driven wheel 125; the service brake driving wheel 121 is fixed on the shaft of the service brake motor 111, the parking brake driving wheel 122 is fixed on the shaft of the parking brake motor 112, the service brake driving wheel 121 is in transmission connection with the service brake idler wheel 123, the parking brake driving wheel 122 is in transmission connection with the parking brake idler wheel 124, the service brake idler wheel 123 and the parking brake idler wheel 124 are respectively in transmission connection with the driven wheel 125, and the driven wheel 125 is connected with the execution mechanism.
[0075] The execution mechanism comprises a planetary roller screw 132 and a moving element, and the moving element is a sleeve 131 in the application; the nut of the planetary roller screw 132 is connected with the moving element, and the sleeve 131 and the nut of the planetary roller screw 132 can be fixedly connected in a welding manner.
[0076] The brake further comprises a parking mechanism, the parking mechanism comprising a parking motor 141, a cam 142, a top rod 143 and an elastic element 144, the parking motor 141 being electrically connected with the control unit; the parking motor 141 is connected with the cam 142 and is used for driving the cam 142 to rotate; the cam 142 is in contact with the top rod 143, the profile surface of the cam 142 is in contact with the upper top surface of the top rod 143, and the cam 142 is used for driving the top rod 143 to move linearly; one side of the top rod 143 is further provided with a limiting key groove or a limiting protrusion, which is used for cooperating with a corresponding limiting protrusion or limiting key groove in the mounting hole on the brake caliper 200, so as to limit the rotation of the top rod 143 and keep the top rod 143 moving on a linear path. The elastic element 144 is sleeved on the top rod 143, and the elastic element 144 is used for elastically supporting the top rod 143, so as to keep the top rod 143 in contact with the cam 142; the elastic element 144 is a spiral spring and has a certain pre-pressure during assembly, so that the top rod 143 is always pressed upward on the cam 142.
[0077] The top rod 143 is provided with a slope portion 1430, which is arranged at the bottom end surface of the top rod 143. The actuator of the brake is provided with a slope groove 1311, which is arranged on the sleeve 131 of the actuator. The slope portion 1430 of the top rod 143 can form a wedge-shaped matching structure with the slope groove 1311 of the sleeve 131. When the top rod 143 is pressed down, the sleeve 131 can be pushed to move in the direction of clamping the brake disc 202 by the brake block 201, thereby playing a locking role on the sleeve 131 after the required brake clamping force of the parking brake is reached. The sleeve 131 can also be kept in a braking state to avoid back-off. Meanwhile, the sleeve 131 is also provided with a straight groove 1312, and the brake caliper 200 is provided with a limiting screw 133 embedded in the straight groove 1312, which is used to limit the rotation of the sleeve 131, so as to ensure that the sleeve can only move linearly.
[0078] When the vehicle needs to be decelerated and stopped during driving, i.e., the service brake function is needed, the service brake motor 111 drives the service brake driving wheel 121 to rotate, the service brake driving wheel 121 drives the service brake idler wheel 123 to rotate, and the service brake idler wheel 123 drives the driven wheel 125 to rotate. The driven wheel 125 drives the planetary roller screw 132 of the actuator to move, and the sleeve 131 of the actuator moves through the nut of the planetary roller screw 132, thereby pushing the brake block 201 to move and clamping the brake disc 202 to achieve braking. When the braking is finished or the brake clamping force needs to be reduced, the service brake motor 111 can be reversed.
[0079] When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a long time or parked on a slope, i.e., the parking brake function is needed, the parking brake motor 112 drives the parking brake driving wheel 122 to rotate, the parking brake driving wheel 122 drives the parking brake idler wheel 124 to rotate, and the parking brake idler wheel 124 drives the driven wheel 125 to rotate. The driven wheel 125 drives the planetary roller screw 132 of the actuator to move, and the sleeve 131 of the actuator moves through the nut of the planetary roller screw 132, thereby pushing the brake block 201 to clamp the brake disc 202. When the brake clamping force rises to the required size of the parking brake, the parking motor 141 drives the cam 142 to rotate, so that the top rod 143 moves linearly downward, and finally the slope portion 1430 presses the slope groove 1311 to limit the backward back-off of the sleeve 131. The matching between the slope portion 1430 and the slope groove 1311 is a wedge-shaped structure, which has self-locking ability and can stably maintain the brake clamping force to achieve parking. After the slope portion 1430 and the slope groove 1311 are in abutment, it is also necessary to detect whether the top rod 143 effectively locks the sleeve 131 to improve the reliability and safety during parking.
[0080] When the vehicle needs to release the parking brake, in order to prevent the situation that the jacking rod 143 is too tightly clamped with the sleeve 131 and the jacking rod cannot be reset under the action of the elastic element 144 due to long-time parking or parking on a slope with a large angle, the parking brake motor 112 is first controlled to drive the sleeve 131 to move in a direction that makes the brake block 201 clamp the brake disc 202, so that the jacking rod 143 is loosened with the sleeve 131, then the parking motor 141 is rotated to drive the cam 142 to rotate, the jacking rod 143 is reset upward under the action of the elastic element 144, and finally the parking brake motor 112 is reversed to drive the sleeve 131 to retreat, so that the parking brake is released.
[0081] In the application, the driving brake and the parking brake are realized by using double motors, which are independent of each other and form a redundant configuration, so that when the driving brake motor 111 fails, the driving brake can be realized by the parking brake motor 112, and when the parking brake motor 112 fails, the parking brake can be realized by the driving brake motor 111, so that the safety is significantly improved; the process of the parking brake has double brake locking realized by the parking brake motor 112 and the parking motor 141, first, the parking brake controlled by the parking brake motor 112, and then the locking of the parking brake realized by the cam 142 mechanism controlled by the parking motor 141, so that the parking brake has high safety and effectively avoids the unstable factors existing in the single system brake. The application also provides a brake control method, including driving brake and parking brake control processes and a release parking brake control process.
