Integrated Brake and Power Controller for Compact Hydraulic Pressure Units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional straddle-type vehicles face space constraints due to separate mounting of controllers for hydraulic pressure control units and power generators, leading to expanded device mounting spaces.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a hydraulic pressure control unit with a combined controller that includes both brake and power control sections within a single case, allowing for shared accommodation and reduced spatial requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If separate controllers for hydraulic pressure control and power generator control are mounted on the straddle-type vehicle, then each controller can be independently designed and maintained, but the space required for mounting devices is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the hydraulic pressure control section and power generator control section into a single integrated controller unit. The base body houses both control sections with their respective components (electromagnetic valves, solenoid valves, sensors) sharing a common mounting structure and housing, thereby reducing the overall space required while maintaining independent control functionality for both systems
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate controllers are mounted on the straddle-type vehicle, then each control function can be independently implemented, but the number of cables and wiring required is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated controller combines multiple control functions (hydraulic pressure control with electromagnetic valves and power generator control with solenoid valves) into a single unit. This consolidation reduces the number of separate cable connections required, as both control sections share common power supply connections and housing, thereby reducing wiring complexity and cable quantity while maintaining independent control capabilities
