Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic brake systems experience vibration and noise due to shock when the piston moves forward and backward in the hydraulic pressure supply device, causing inconvenience to users.

Innovation Solution

A hydraulic pressure supply device is designed with a damping member between the sleeve and housing to absorb vibration and prevent noise, featuring a tubular damping body with slits and extension portions to distribute stress and a contact surface that gradually decreases, coupled with a motor pump unit and hydraulic block to generate hydraulic pressure efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If a piston moves forward and backward in a pump to generate hydraulic pressure, then hydraulic pressure can be supplied to the wheel cylinder, but vibration and noise are generated due to shock

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehydraulic pressure generationVSAvoidvibration and noise
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A damping member is pre-installed between the piston and the pump housing to provide cushioning before the piston reaches its extreme positions. This damping member absorbs the shock energy during piston movement, preventing vibration and noise generation while maintaining hydraulic pressure generation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The damping member acts as an intermediary element between the moving piston and the stationary pump housing. It mediates the interaction by absorbing shock energy, thereby eliminating the direct transmission of vibration and noise to the pump housing and surrounding structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a damping member is added to absorb vibration, then noise is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise reductionVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The damping member utilizes changes in material parameters (viscoelastic properties) under varying pressure and temperature conditions to provide effective vibration damping. By selecting appropriate material parameters, the damping member achieves noise reduction without requiring complex multi-component structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The damping member is constructed from composite materials that combine viscoelastic properties with structural integrity. This allows a single integrated component to provide both damping functionality and mechanical support, avoiding the need for separate damping elements and reducing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
