Description

BACKGROUND area

[0001] The disclosed disclosure relates to a detached or remote container and a method for its assembly, and in particular to a detached container that can be separated from a brake module, mounted on a vehicle body and temporarily coupled during assembly, as well as to a method for its assembly. Description of the state of the art

[0002] A vehicle is essentially equipped with a braking system for slowing down the vehicle. Various types of braking systems have been proposed to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.

[0003] The state-of-the-art braking system essentially works by having a brake booster, mechanically linked to the brake pedal, supply a wheel cylinder with the fluid pressure required to decelerate the vehicle when the driver depresses the brake pedal. However, as the market increasingly demands a variety of braking functions to suit different vehicle operating environments, integrated dynamic brakes (IDBs) have become widespread. In these systems, when a driver depresses the brake pedal, a pedal travel sensor, which detects pedal displacement, sends an electrical signal to indicate the driver's intention to brake. A fluid pressure supply device then responds to this electrical signal by supplying a wheel cylinder with the fluid pressure required to decelerate the vehicle.

[0004] An integrated braking system can generate stable, strong braking force by integrating a master brake booster and electronic stability control (ESC). Generally, the integrated braking system includes a configuration where a pedal position sensor actuates a motor by sending an electrical signal indicating brake pedal actuation. A piston pump in a hydraulic pressure generating device creates hydraulic brake pressure in response to the motor's actuation, and an electronic control unit regulates and transmits the hydraulic pressure to the wheels. Additionally, a master cylinder is provided in a hydraulic block equipped with a hydraulic circuit to directly transfer the pedal force from the brake pedal to a wheel cylinder if the system malfunctions.

[0005] A reservoir is provided to supply the integrated brake system with a pressurized medium, such as brake fluid, to perform a braking operation using the integrated brake system described above. Typically, the reservoir stores the pressurized medium and is connected to the upper part of the master cylinder. The reservoir may also be connected to the piston pump, so that the piston pump in the integrated brake system's fluid pressure generation device generates fluid pressure.

[0006] The reservoir is installed in various ways to supply the integrated brake system with the pressurized fluid. However, the problem is that it is difficult to install the reservoir in a limited space within the vehicle.

[0007] A technology was developed in which the size of a main tank directly connected to a main cylinder is reduced, and a separate tank is connected to the main tank via a connecting element. This ensures a storage capacity for a pressurized medium and allows the separate tank to be easily installed in confined spaces. However, the operator connects the separate tank with bolts and nuts to secure and install it in the vehicle. In this case, one operator secures the separate tank in a coupling position, and another operator tightens the bolt and nut, requiring at least two operators.

[0008] Publication EP 2 218 620 A1 relates to a fastening system for an offset brake fluid reservoir. Publication FR 2 970 226 A1 discloses the fastening of a brake fluid reservoir to a support by means of an arc-shaped blade attached to the brake fluid reservoir, wherein the reservoir is fastened to the support after it has been pre-positioned and held on the support.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXECUTION EXAMPLES

[0035] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments. For the purposes of description, the scales of the components shown in the accompanying drawings differ from the actual scales, so that the scales are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0036] In the following, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are presented to adequately convey the spirit of the present disclosure to the person skilled in the art, to whom the present disclosure relates. The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments presented here and may be supplemented by other aspects. Elements that are irrelevant to the description of the present disclosure are omitted from the drawings in order to present the disclosure clearly. The sizes of the individual elements may be somewhat exaggerated for better understanding.

[0037] The following section describes in detail the functional principles and exemplary embodiments of the disclosed disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Fig. Figure 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a detached container according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. Figure 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a vehicle structure on which the detached container and a container according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure are mounted. Fig. Figure 3 is a side view schematically showing a state in which the detached container is coupled to the vehicle structure according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. Figure 4 is a top view schematically showing a state in which the detached container is coupled to the vehicle structure according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] A separate container 10 of the present disclosure is attached directly to a structure 20 of a vehicle. To supply a brake system with brake fluid, the container 10 can be connected to a main reservoir attached to a master cylinder or a hydraulic block.

[0040] In general, the braking system, particularly an integrated braking system, can comprise a master cylinder connected to a brake pedal, a hydraulic pressure generating device configured to measure the movement of the brake pedal and generate hydraulic pressure, the hydraulic block having a plurality of flow paths to transmit hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder or the hydraulic pressure generating device to a wheel cylinder, and an electronic control unit configured to control the flow of the hydraulic pressure. In this case, the master cylinder and a piston pump of the hydraulic pressure generating device can be provided in the hydraulic block and connected to the flow path. Furthermore, solenoid valves are provided at suitable locations in the multiple flow paths to selectively control the flow of brake fluid.Therefore, the electronic control unit performs a braking process by controlling the flow of fluid pressure to be transferred to the wheel cylinder through the adjustment of the solenoid valves.

[0041] Since the integrated braking system is already a widely known technology, a detailed description is omitted.

[0042] The main reservoir can be mounted on the hydraulic block or the master cylinder and supplies the master cylinder and the piston pump with brake fluid. In this case, the main reservoir can receive the brake fluid from reservoir 10.

[0043] Meanwhile, reservoir 10 is configured to supply the brake fluid to the main reservoir. Therefore, the separate reservoir 10 can be positioned at a certain distance from the top of the main reservoir.

[0044] As described above, the main reservoir and the separate reservoir 10 are designed to be spaced apart from each other so that the main reservoir and the separate reservoir 10 can store and supply brake fluid with high capacity in a limited space in the vehicle.

[0045] The main tank and the separate tank 10 can be connected to each other by a connecting element.

[0046] The remote reservoir 10 is attached to the vehicle structure 20. If the hydraulic block or master cylinder is mounted inside the vehicle, the main reservoir mounted on the hydraulic block or master cylinder is rigidly connected to the vehicle, whereas the remote reservoir 10 is mounted directly to the vehicle structure 20. The vehicle structure 20 to which the remote reservoir 10 is attached can be a vehicle frame located in an engine compartment.

[0047] The separate container 10 according to the present embodiment comprises a container body 100 with a chamber configured to store the brake oil therein, an oil injection part 200 provided on an upper front face of a container body 100 and configured to inject the brake oil, a connecting opening 300 provided on the container body 100 and configured to supply the brake oil to the main reservoir, which is provided to be spaced apart from the container body 100, and a fastening part 400 connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle.

[0048] The container body 100 can define the external appearance of the separate container 10 and may include a chamber designed to store the brake fluid. The container body 100 can be formed by coupling an upper and a lower body to define a space within it. The upper and lower bodies can be joined together by thermal bonding.

[0049] The oil injection part 200 is attached to the upper front of the container body 100. Therefore, the oil injection part 200 can be attached to the upper body.

[0050] A cap (not shown) can be connected to the oil injection part 200 and prevent the brake fluid from leaking out.

[0051] The connecting opening 300 can be located on the underside of the reservoir body 100. Therefore, the connecting opening 300 can be located on the lower part of the reservoir. The connecting opening 300 is connected to the connecting opening of the main reservoir via the connecting element. In this case, the brake fluid can easily be transferred to the main reservoir because the intermediate reservoir 10 is positioned higher than the main reservoir.

[0052] To transfer the brake fluid from the secondary reservoir 10 to the main reservoir, one end of the connecting element is connected to the connection opening of the secondary reservoir 10 and the other end of the connecting element is connected to the connection opening of the main reservoir. The connecting element can be designed as a rubber hose so that the brake fluid can be easily supplied even if the installation position of the secondary reservoir 10 or the main reservoir is selectively changed.

[0053] At the same time, the base of the separated container 10 can have a sloping area. The sloping area can be inclined such that the brake fluid flows towards the connecting opening 300.

[0054] The fastening element 400 is connected to the vehicle structure 20 and is configured to secure the detached container 10 within the vehicle. The fastening element 400 comprises a main fastening element 410, which is configured to connect the container body 100 to the vehicle structure 20, and an auxiliary fastening element 420, which is configured to connect the container body 100 to the vehicle structure 20 before the main fastening element 410 is connected.

[0055] The main fastening part 410 securely connects the container body 100 to the structure 20 of the vehicle. For example, the main fastening part 410 can connect the container body 100 to the structure 20 of the vehicle by bolting it.

[0056] The auxiliary fastening part 420 connects the container body 100 to the vehicle structure 20 before the main fastening part 410 is connected. As described below, the auxiliary fastening part 420 simply connects the container body 100 to the vehicle structure 20, allowing the container body 100 to be temporarily secured before the main fastening part 410 is attached.

[0057] The auxiliary fastening part 420 not only temporarily couples the container body 100 to the structure 20 of the vehicle before the main fastening part 410 is coupled, but also maintains the coupled state between the container body 100 and the structure 20 of the vehicle even after the main fastening part 410 is coupled, so that the container body 100 can be coupled more securely to the structure 20 of the vehicle.

[0058] With the configurations of the main fastening part 410 and the auxiliary fastening part 420, when assembling the detached container 10 according to the present embodiment, the container body 100 can first be connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the auxiliary fastening part 420, and then the container body 100 can be connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the main fastening part 410.

[0059] Therefore, the operator temporarily attaches the container body 100 to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the auxiliary fastening part 420, before securely coupling the container body 100 to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the main fastening part 410, so that the operator can couple the detached container 10 to the structure 20 of the vehicle alone without an additional operator.

[0060] The structure 20 of the vehicle can, for example, be a structure such as a frame of an engine compartment of the vehicle that limits a body of the vehicle, or the structure 20 of the vehicle can be a structure that is connected to the structure that limits the body of the vehicle.

[0061] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the structure 20 of the vehicle can comprise a vertical wall section 25 and a horizontal wall section 26. The vertical wall section 25 and the horizontal wall section 26 can be formed by bending a single plate or in a shape produced by joining plates. In this case, the vertical wall section 25 can, in particular, be located closer to the front of the vehicle than the horizontal wall section 26. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. The vertical wall section 25 can be located on a side or rear side of the horizontal wall section 26. The configuration in which the vertical wall section 25 is located at the front is described below.

[0062] At least one bolt hole 21 can be provided in the vertical wall section 25. Furthermore, a second fastening hole 23 can be provided in the vertical wall section 25. As described below, the bolt hole 21 can be connected to the main fastening part 410 of the segregated container 10, and the second fastening hole 23 can be connected to a second auxiliary fastening part 430.

[0063] A first fixing hole 22 can be provided in the horizontal wall area 26. The first fixing hole can be connected to a first auxiliary fixing part 420 of the detached container 10.

[0064] The following describes a coupling structure of the detached container 10 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. 4 described.

[0065] The main fastening part 410 of the detached container 10 according to the first embodiment can be connected to the vertical wall area 25 of the structure 20 of the vehicle.

[0066] For example, the main fastening part 410 can be connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle by screwing it in.

[0067] In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the main fastening part 410 can comprise a first body 411, which projects upwards from an upper surface of the container body 100 and is elongated in a left / right direction, and at least one main coupling area 412, which is provided on the first body 411.

[0068] The first body 411 can project from the top of the container body 100 and form the coupling structure with the vehicle structure 20. As shown, the first body 411 can be extended in the left / right direction. When the detached container 10 is coupled to the vehicle structure 20, a rear wall surface of the first body 411 can be in contact with the vertical wall area 25.

[0069] Since the first body 411 protrudes from the top of the container body 100, the first body 411 can be integrated with the top of the container body 100.

[0070] The first body 411 can be formed at a central area based on a forward / reverse direction of the container body 100. When the detached container 10 is coupled to the structure 20 of the vehicle, the main mounting part 410 bears the load of the detached container 10 and the load of the brake fluid stored in the detached container 10. Therefore, the main mounting part 410 can stably distribute and support the load, since the first body 411 is formed at the central area based on the forward / reverse direction of the container body 100.

[0071] Meanwhile, the first body 411 is formed on the central area based on the forward / reverse direction of the container body 100. The oil injection part 200, which is provided on the upper front of the container body 100, is positioned in front of the first body 411. Therefore, the oil injection part 200 can be located in front of the first body 411 and the vertical wall area 25 and is exposed to the outside when the separated container 10 is connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle. The user can add, check, and replace the brake fluid via the exposed oil injection part 200.

[0072] The main fastening part 410 can comprise at least one main coupling area 412 provided on the first body 411. The main coupling area 412 is a structure that connects to the structure 20 of the vehicle. For example, the main coupling area 412 can have a through-hole through which a bolt passes.

[0073] As in the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the two main coupling areas 412, each having the form of a through-hole, can be provided on two opposite left and right sides of the first body 411.

[0074] In the present embodiment, the main fastening part 410 can be connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle by a bolt 30, which is penetrating to the main connection area 412 of the first body 411 and the bolt hole 21 of the vertical wall area 25, and a nut 40 connected to the bolt 30.

[0075] As described above, the main fastening part 410 is connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle by the bolt 30 and the nut 40, so that the detached container 10 can be securely fastened in the vehicle and the operator can easily detach the detached container 10 from the vehicle if necessary.

[0076] In this case, the first body 411 can be connected to a front of the vertical wall part 25.

[0077] In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the auxiliary fastening element can comprise the first auxiliary fastening element 420. The first auxiliary fastening element 420 can be connected to the horizontal wall region 26 of the structure 20 of the vehicle.

[0078] In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the first auxiliary fastening part 420 can comprise a second column-shaped body 421, which projects upwards from the top of the container body 100 and is provided behind the first body 411, as well as fastening grooves 422 which are recessed into two opposite surfaces of the second body 421.

[0079] The second body 421 can project from the top of the container body 100 and form the coupling structure with the structure 20 of the vehicle. As shown, the second body 421 can project upwards from the container body 100 so that the second body 421 can be connected to the horizontal wall area 26 when the second body 421 is connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle.

[0080] The second body 421 can be integrally formed with the container body 100 and positioned behind the first body 411. That is, the second body 421 can be formed on an upper rear side of the container body 100.

[0081] Since the second body 421 protrudes from the top of the container body 100, the second body 421 can be integrated with the top of the container body 100.

[0082] The fastening grooves 422 can be recessed into two opposing left and right surfaces of the second body 421. The fastening groove 422 can be connected to the first fastening hole 22 in the horizontal wall section 26.

[0083] With reference to the Fig. 2 and Fig. 4. The first fixing hole 22 can comprise a wide section 22a, provided in the horizontal wall area 26 and larger than the cross-section of the second body 421, and a narrow section 22b, provided on the rear side of the wide section 22a, which is configured to communicate with the wide section 22a and has a width smaller than the width of the wide section 22a. The first fixing hole 22 can, through the wide section 22a and the narrow section 22b, have the overall shape of a “T”.

[0084] The section 22a of large width has a larger shape than the horizontal cross-section of the second body 421. Therefore, the second body 421 can be inserted into the section 22a of large width from below.

[0085] The narrow section 22b can be connected to a rear face of the wide section 22a and have a narrower width than the wide section 22a in the left / right direction. In this case, the width of the narrow section 22b can be greater than the width of a horizontal cross-section of a region of the second body 421 in which the fastening groove 422 is formed. The width of the narrow section 22b can be less than the width of the cross-section of a region of the second body 421 in which the fastening groove 422 is not formed.

[0086] Therefore, in the state in which the second body 421 is inserted into the wide section 22a, the fastening groove 422 slides from the wide section 22a towards the narrow section 22b, so that the second body 421 and the horizontal wall area 26 can be coupled.

[0087] This means that the second body 421 can be inserted into the wide section 22a of the first fastening hole 22 provided in the horizontal wall area 26, and the fastening groove 422 can be pushed towards the narrow section 22b so that the detached container 10 can be connected to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the first auxiliary fastening part 420.

[0088] As described above, the detached container 10 can be easily coupled to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the first auxiliary fastening part 420, and then the detached container 10 can be securely coupled to the structure 20 of the vehicle using the main fastening part 410.

[0089] Meanwhile, the second body 421 can have a hole structure 423 that extends downwards from an upper surface of the second body 421. The hole structure 423 reduces the overall thickness of the second body 421, thus minimizing contraction and deformation and shortening the cooling time when the upper body of the container body 100 is manufactured by injection molding.

[0090] Fig. Figure 5 is a perspective view schematically showing a detached container according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, Fig. Figure 6 is a side view schematically showing a state in which the detached container is coupled to the vehicle structure according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. Figure 7 is a top view schematically showing a state in which the detached container is coupled to the vehicle structure according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0091] The following describes a coupling structure of the detached container 10 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the Fig. 5, Fig. 6 to Fig. 7 described.

[0092] As in the first embodiment, the main fastening part 410 of the detached container 10 can be connected to the vertical wall area 25 of the vehicle structure 20 according to the second embodiment.

[0093] Since the structure and function of the main fastening part 410 are identical to those of the first embodiment, a description of it is omitted.

[0094] In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the auxiliary fastening part can comprise the second auxiliary fastening part 430. The second auxiliary fastening part 430 can be connected to the vertical wall region 25 of the vehicle structure 20.

[0095] In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the second auxiliary fastening part 430 can have a coupling projection that extends rearward from the first body 411.

[0096] As described above, the rear wall of the first housing 411 can be in contact with the vertical wall section 25 when the detached container 10 is connected to the vehicle structure 20. In this case, the second auxiliary fastening part 430 can include the coupling projection that extends rearward from the first body 411 and is coupled to the vertical wall section 25 by means of the coupling projection.
