- the communication control means opens the front wheel communication on / off valve, the rear wheel communication on / off valve, and the front / rear communication on / off valve when the hydraulic pressure is controlled by the hydraulic pressure control means.
- the wheel cylinders of the front, rear, left and right wheels are controlled to a common hydraulic pressure in a state where they communicate with each other.
- the freedom degree of selection of the individual linear control valve apparatus to operate is expanded, and the generation of the operation noise of the individual linear control valve apparatus can be further reduced.
- the front / rear communication on-off valve (66) is a normally closed valve that maintains its closed state when not energized and opens when energized. Therefore, when the brake control device is not activated or an abnormality has occurred in the brake control device. Thus, when the hydraulic pressure control cannot be performed, the valve closed state can be reliably maintained. For this reason, the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path of the front wheel can be reliably separated from the hydraulic pressure path of the rear wheel. Therefore, for example, even when an abnormality occurs in the hydraulic fluid passage of the wheel cylinder of the rear wheel, the pedaling hydraulic pressure passage of the front wheel is not affected. As a result, it is possible to maintain a state in which the pedal pressure hydraulic pressure can be supplied to the wheel cylinder of the front wheel having a high braking contribution.
- Another feature of the present invention is that the hydraulic pressure control means pauses a part of the individual linear control valve device and operates the remaining individual linear control valve devices to control the hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder. is there.
- the wheel cylinders of the left and right wheels are in communication with each other at the time of hydraulic pressure control, or the wheel cylinders of the front, rear, left and right wheels are in communication with each other.
- the hydraulic pressure control means pauses a part of the individual linear control valve device and operates the remaining individual linear control valve devices to control the hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder.
- production of the operation sound of a separate linear control valve apparatus can be reduced.
- the number of wheel cylinders to be controlled increases with respect to the number of individual linear control valve devices to be operated, the amount of hydraulic fluid that absorbs the pulsation of the hydraulic fluid that is generated when the valve is opened increases, and the operating noise The size can be reduced. As a result, quietness at the time of hydraulic pressure control can be improved.

- the pedal switch 111 is a switch that is turned on when the brake pedal 10 is depressed to the set position and lights a stop lamp (not shown), and outputs a signal indicating the switch state (pedal switch signal) to the brake ECU 100.
- the brake ECU 100 is activated when the ignition switch is turned on or when the courtesy switch that outputs a signal corresponding to the open / closed state of the vehicle door is turned on (when the door is opened). Before the brake ECU 100 is activated, energization of all electromagnetic control valves (open / close valves and linear control valves) provided in the brake actuator 40 and the stroke simulator device 70 is stopped. Therefore, the open / close state of each electromagnetic control valve is as shown in FIG. Further, the power supply to the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 is also stopped.
- the brake ECU 100 executes in parallel the hydraulic pressure control for generating the braking force by causing the hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder 82 to follow the target hydraulic pressure, and the communication control for controlling the communication state between the wheel cylinders 82.
- the target hydraulic pressure used for hydraulic pressure control differs depending on the vehicle to which the brake control device is applied. In the case of an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, regenerative braking and hydraulic braking can be performed because a motor is generated by the rotational force of the wheels and the generated power is regenerated in the battery to obtain a braking force. Brake regenerative cooperative control can be performed in combination.
- the brake control device of this embodiment is applied to an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle to perform brake regeneration cooperative control, but can also be applied to a vehicle that generates a driving force only by an internal combustion engine.
- the pedaling force that the driver depresses the brake pedal 10 is used only for detecting the brake operation amount and is not transmitted to the wheel cylinder 82, but instead is output from the power hydraulic pressure generator 30.

In this case, the brake ECU 100 sets, as the master cylinder pressure Pm, one of the master cylinder pressure PmL and the master cylinder pressure PmR, or a combination (for example, an average value) of both.
- the required braking force is set to a larger value as the pedal stroke Sp is larger and the master cylinder pressure Pm is larger.
- the pedal stroke Sp and the master cylinder pressure Pm are respectively multiplied by the weighting coefficients Ks and Kr, and in the range where the pedal stroke Sp is small, the weighting coefficient Ks of the pedal stroke Sp is set large.

Accordingly, the brake ECU 100 calculates a required hydraulic braking force that is a braking force that should be generated by the brake control device by subtracting the regenerative braking force from the required braking force.
- the regenerative braking force generated by the power regeneration performed by the regenerative ECU not only changes depending on the rotation speed of the motor but also changes due to the regenerative current control depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery. Accordingly, an appropriate required hydraulic braking force can be calculated by subtracting the regenerative braking force from the required braking force.
- the brake ECU 100 calculates the target hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder 82 based on the calculated required hydraulic braking force, and the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 by feedback control so that the wheel cylinder pressure becomes equal to the target hydraulic pressure.

That is, the current flowing through the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45 is controlled so that the wheel cylinder pressure Pw detected by the wheel cylinder pressure sensor 53 of each wheel follows the target hydraulic pressure.
- hydraulic fluid is supplied from the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 to each wheel cylinder 82 via the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44, and braking force is generated on the wheels. Further, if necessary, hydraulic fluid is discharged from the wheel cylinder 82 via the pressure-reducing linear control valve 45, and the braking force generated on the wheel is adjusted.

- a constant pressure ⁇ P which is a pressure difference between the upstream hydraulic pressure (inlet hydraulic pressure) and the downstream hydraulic pressure (exit hydraulic pressure)
- the valve opening current is constant.
- the valve opening current is the current value when the valve body starts to open when the current flowing to the solenoid is increased from the closed state.
- a normally open electromagnetic linear control valve In the case of a normally open electromagnetic linear control valve, it represents the current value when the valve body starts to open when the current flowing through the solenoid is decreased from the closed state.
- the valve opening current characteristic represents a correlation between the valve opening current and the differential pressure ⁇ P. In the normally closed electromagnetic linear control valve, the valve opening current decreases linearly as the differential pressure ⁇ P increases. In the normally open electromagnetic linear control valve, the valve opening current increases linearly as the differential pressure ⁇ P increases. Has valve opening current characteristics.
- the brake ECU 100 When the brake ECU 100 controls the energization of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45, the brake ECU 100 refers to the valve-opening current characteristic and determines the upstream side hydraulic pressure and the downstream side hydraulic pressure of the linear control valve. A valve opening current iopen corresponding to the differential pressure ⁇ P is obtained, and a target current i * to be supplied to the linear control valve is set with reference to the valve opening current iopen.
- the deviation (P * ⁇ Pw) is positive, the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 is opened at an opening corresponding to the deviation, and the wheel cylinder pressure is increased.
- the deviation (P * -Pw) is negative, the feedback control term is calculated using the absolute value of the deviation, and the pressure-reducing linear control valve 45 is opened at an opening degree corresponding to the absolute value of the deviation, and the wheel The cylinder pressure is reduced.
- the feedback gain Gfb is set separately for pressure increase and pressure decrease.

- the brake ECU 100 keeps the simulator cut valve 72 open. For this reason, the hydraulic fluid sent from the pressurizing chamber 21 of the master cylinder 20 is supplied to the stroke simulator 71 as the driver depresses the brake pedal 10. As a result, a reaction force corresponding to the pedaling force of the driver can be applied to the brake pedal 10, and a good pedal operation feeling can be given to the driver.
- the brake ECU 100 has a system configuration for performing hydraulic pressure control divided into two control blocks, and each control block is independently provided with a microcomputer, a solenoid valve drive circuit, an input / output interface, a power supply circuit, and the like.
- the configuration for controlling the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder 82 of the diagonal wheel is a single control block system. That is, the first control block 101 that controls the hydraulic pressures of the left front wheel cylinder 82FL and the right rear wheel cylinder 82RR, and the first control block 101 that controls the hydraulic pressures of the right front wheel cylinder 82FR and the left rear wheel cylinder 82RL.
- the system is divided into two control blocks 102.
- the first control block 101 controls the energization of the individual linear control valve devices 50FL and 50RR based on the hydraulic pressure sensors 53FL and 53RR, and the second control block 102 based on the hydraulic pressure sensors 53FR and 53RL.
- energization of the individual linear control valve devices 50FR and 50RL is controlled.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64, the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65, the front / rear communication on / off valve 66, the master cut valves 46 and 47, the simulator cut valve 72, and the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 are divided into two systems.
- the control blocks 101 and 102 can be controlled.
- the microcomputer of the first control block 101 and the microcomputer of the second control block 102 are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other, and can exchange control information with each other.
- the hydraulic control can be continued by the other control block.
- the fluid pressure of a part of the wheel cylinders 82 to be controlled by the control block in the abnormal state can be controlled by using the control block on the normal side by the communication control described later.
- the target hydraulic pressures P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 are set to a common value (the same value as each other), and therefore are not necessarily limited.
- the hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder 82 may not be controlled independently by the individual linear control valve device 50. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the four wheel cylinders 82 are in communication with each other depending on the situation, and the hydraulic pressure is increased while some pressure-increasing linear control valves 44 and some pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45 are stopped. By performing the control, the generation (number of occurrences) of operating noise is suppressed.
- FIG. 2 shows a communication control routine executed by the microcomputer of the brake ECU 100.
- This communication control routine is executed in cooperation with the microcomputer of the first control block 101 and the microcomputer of the second control block 102 sharing information with each other, but preferentially executed by the microcomputer of one of the control blocks. If an abnormality occurs in the control block, it may be executed by a microcomputer in another control block.
- a communication control dedicated microcomputer may be provided, and the communication control dedicated microcomputer may acquire information from the first control block 101 and the second control block 102 and execute a communication control routine. .
- the communication control routine is started when the brake ECU 100 is activated and the initial diagnosis process in the brake control device is completed, and is repeatedly executed at a predetermined short cycle.
- the brake ECU 100 reads abnormality information in step S10.
- step S11 based on the abnormality information, it is determined whether or not the brake control device is normal, that is, whether or not an abnormality is detected in the brake control device.
- the brake ECU 100 includes abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality in the brake control device such as an abnormality in the control system and an abnormality in leakage of hydraulic fluid, and the abnormality detection means repeatedly executes an abnormality detection routine (not shown) at a predetermined cycle. is doing. Accordingly, in step S10, the detection result of the abnormality detection routine is read. This detection result includes not only the presence / absence of an abnormality but also information indicating the content of the abnormality.
- the brake ECU 100 checks whether there are any abnormalities in the brake control device, such as a control system abnormality or hydraulic fluid leakage abnormality.
- the control system abnormality means a state in which even one of the wheel cylinders 82 cannot control the hydraulic pressure.
- even one electromagnetic control valve such as a pressure increasing linear control valve 44, a pressure reducing linear control valve 45, a communication on / off valve 64, 65, 66, a master cut valve 46, 47, or a simulator cut valve 72 is disconnected or shorted.
- the hydraulic fluid leakage abnormality corresponds to, for example, a case where a decrease in the hydraulic fluid level is detected by a level switch (not shown) provided in the reservoir 60. Moreover, the case where the relationship between the stroke of the brake pedal 10 and the hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder 20 is out of the appropriate range is applicable. Further, the case where the accumulator pressure Pacc detected by the accumulator pressure sensor 51 does not exceed the liquid leakage determination value even when the pump 31 is continuously operated for a set time or longer is applicable.
- the wheel cylinder pressure Pw becomes the target hydraulic pressure even when the hydraulic pressure Pw of each wheel cylinder does not become the same value or even if the hydraulic pressure control is performed.
- the brake ECU 100 advances the process to step S12, and the target hydraulic pressures P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 are substantially common values. It is determined whether or not. For example, the brake ECU 100 reads the target hydraulic pressure P * of the four wheel cylinders 82, extracts the maximum value P * max and the minimum value P * min, and the difference between them (P * max ⁇ P * min) Is less than the threshold value A. When the target hydraulic pressure difference (P * max ⁇ P * min) is smaller than the threshold value A, it is determined that the target hydraulic pressures P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 are substantially common values.
- This threshold A is a set value within a range where it can be determined that there is no problem even if the hydraulic pressure control is performed by setting the target hydraulic pressure P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 to a common value.
- the brake mode in which the conditions of step S11 and step S12 are satisfied corresponds to normal brake control. Note that when the brake pedal operation is not performed, the target hydraulic pressures P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 are all set to zero (atmospheric pressure), so the determination in step S12 is “Yes”.
- step S13 the process proceeds to step S13, and the communication mode is changed to the four-wheel communication mode.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64, the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65, and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 are all kept open.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66, which are normally closed solenoid valves, are energized, and the normally open rear wheel communication on / off valve 65 is not energized.
- any pressure increasing linear control valve 44 can be used to increase the fluid pressure in each wheel cylinder 82
- any pressure reducing linear control valve 45 can be used to increase the fluid pressure in each wheel cylinder 82.
- the pressure can be reduced.
- the common hydraulic pressure that is the hydraulic pressure can be detected using the detection value of the arbitrary hydraulic pressure sensor 53.
- the brake ECU 100 ends the communication control routine when the communication mode is set. Then, the communication control routine is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.
- the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode even if no braking request is generated as long as the target hydraulic pressure P * is common. That is, since the brake ECU 100 is activated, the four wheel cylinders 82 are always kept in communication with each other.
- the brake ECU 100 maintains the communication mode in the four-wheel communication mode even when no braking request is generated when no abnormality is detected in the brake control device. 46 and 47 are kept closed.
- the brake ECU 100 determines that the target hydraulic pressure P * of the four wheel cylinders 82 is not a common value (S12: No)
- the process proceeds to step S17, and the communication mode is changed to the four-wheel separation mode.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64, the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65, and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 are all kept closed.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 which are normally closed solenoid valves, are deenergized, and the normally open rear wheel communication on / off valve 65 is energized.
- each wheel cylinder 82 is independently adjusted by each pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 and pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45. Further, even if a control element of a specific wheel breaks down, the influence of the failure can be prevented from affecting the hydraulic control of other wheels as much as possible.
- step S11 If the brake ECU 100 determines in step S11 that an abnormality has been detected in the brake control device, whether or not the four-wheel communication mode can be executed based on the abnormality content in step S14. to decide.
- the brake ECU 100 stores the four-wheel communication permission condition in advance, and determines that the four-wheel communication mode can be executed only when the abnormality content satisfies the four-wheel communication permission condition. If the brake ECU 100 determines that the four-wheel communication mode can be executed (S14: Yes), the process proceeds to step S13, and the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode.
- the four-wheel communication permission condition is that even if an abnormality is detected in some of the pressure increasing linear control valves 44 or some of the pressure reducing linear control valves 45, the remaining pressure increasing linear control valves 44 or the remaining Even if the first condition that the hydraulic pressures of all the wheel cylinders 82 can be controlled by the operation of the pressure-reducing linear control valve 45 and the abnormality is detected in some of the hydraulic pressure sensors 53, the remaining condition remains.
- the second condition is that the common hydraulic pressure of each wheel cylinder can be detected by the hydraulic pressure sensor 53.
- the second condition becomes the four-wheel communication permission condition, and all the hydraulic pressure sensors 53 have an abnormality. If not detected, the first condition becomes the four-wheel communication permission condition.
- the first condition And the AND condition of the second condition is the four-wheel communication permission condition.
- the brake ECU 100 executes the four-wheel communication mode. Judging that it is possible, the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode. Since the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 is a normally closed type, the valve-closed state can be maintained when an abnormality such as disconnection occurs. For this reason, when an abnormality occurs in the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44, the hydraulic fluid supplied from the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 does not flow from the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 in which the abnormality has occurred to the wheel cylinder 82. Can be in a state. Therefore, by setting the four-wheel communication mode, the hydraulic pressures of all the wheel cylinders 82 can be appropriately increased using the normal pressure-increasing linear control valve 44.
- the brake ECU 100 detects an abnormality in one or both of the pressure reducing linear control valves 45FL and 45FR on the front wheel side, and detects no abnormality in the pressure reducing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR on the rear wheel side.
- step S14 it is determined that the four-wheel communication mode can be executed, and the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode. Since the pressure-reducing linear control valves 45FL and 45FR on the front wheel side are normally closed, they maintain the closed state in the event of an abnormality such as disconnection. For this reason, even when an abnormality occurs in the pressure-reducing linear control valve 45, the hydraulic fluid does not flow from the pressure-reducing linear control valve to the return passage 42.
- the hydraulic pressures of all the wheel cylinders 82 can be appropriately reduced using the normal pressure-reducing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR.
- the pressure-reducing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR on the rear wheel side are normally open, so that the valve open state is maintained when an abnormality such as disconnection occurs. Therefore, if the communication mode is changed to the four-wheel communication mode, proper hydraulic pressure control cannot be performed, so the four-wheel communication permission condition is not satisfied, and “No” is determined in step S14.
- the brake ECU 100 has an abnormality in the pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR on the rear wheel side. If not detected, since the four-wheel communication permission condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S13, and the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode.
- the brake ECU 100 executes the four-wheel communication mode in step S14. If it is determined that it is possible, the process proceeds to step S13, and the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode. In the four-wheel communication mode, the wheel cylinders 82 have the same pressure, so that the hydraulic pressures of all the wheel cylinders 82 can be detected using the normal hydraulic pressure sensor 53 in the four-wheel communication mode. .
- step S15 the brake ECU 100 determines whether the partial communication mode is possible based on the abnormality content detected by the abnormality detection routine.
- the partial communication mode is a mode in which only some of the four wheel cylinders 82 communicate with each other.
- step S15 the brake ECU 100 is capable of the partial communication mode when at least an abnormal part can be identified and there is no problem even if some of the wheel cylinders 82 are in communication with each other. If it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step S16, and the communication mode is set to the partial communication mode. In the partial communication mode, the communication mode of the wheel cylinder 28 is set according to the detected abnormality content.
- the brake ECU 100 stores in advance, as a partial communication permission condition, an abnormal pattern that can be set to the partial communication mode and a communication form corresponding to the abnormal pattern, and the detected abnormality content is specified by the partial communication permission condition. Whether or not the partial communication mode can be executed is determined based on whether or not the abnormal pattern is included. If it is determined that the partial communication mode can be executed (S15: Yes), the front wheel communication on / off valve 64, the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65, and the front / rear communication are used according to the communication mode specified by the partial communication permission condition. The on / off state of the on-off valve 66 is controlled (S16).
- the brake ECU 100 determines in step S15 that the partial communication mode is possible, Set the communication mode to the partial communication mode.

To maintain. Thereby, the wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR for the left and right front wheels and the wheel cylinder 82RL for the left rear wheel are maintained in communication.
- the wheel cylinder 82RR of the right rear wheel can be prevented from communicating with the other wheel cylinders 82.
- the brake ECU 100 shuts off the power supply to the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RR and closes the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44R regardless of whether or not the hydraulic pressure control is being performed.
- the brake ECU 100 determines whether the front-rear communication on-off valve 66, the rear-wheel communication on-off valve 65, Is kept closed, and the front wheel communication on-off valve 64 is kept open. Accordingly, the wheel cylinder 82RL of the left rear wheel can be prevented from communicating with the other wheel cylinders 82. In this case, the brake ECU 100 shuts off the power supply to the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RL and closes the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RL regardless of whether or not the hydraulic pressure control is being performed.
- the specified wheel cylinder 82 May be released from the communication state.
- the brake ECU 100 maintains the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65 in the closed state, and opens and closes the front wheel communication.

- the wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR for the left and right front wheels and the wheel cylinder 82RL for the left rear wheel are maintained in communication.
- the wheel cylinder 82RR of the right rear wheel can be prevented from communicating with the other wheel cylinders 82.
- the brake ECU 100 shuts off the power supply to the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RR and closes the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RR regardless of whether or not the hydraulic pressure control is being performed.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 are maintained in the open state.
- the hydraulic pressures of the left and right front wheel and left rear wheel wheel cylinders 82FL, 82FR, and 82RL are controlled using the pressure-increasing linear control valves 44FR and 44RL and the pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45FR and 45RL of the second control system.
- the second control block 102 that controls the hydraulic pressures of the right front wheel wheel cylinder 82FR and the left rear wheel wheel cylinder 82RL
- the rear wheel communication opening / closing valve 65 and the front / rear communication opening / closing valve 66 are used.
- the hydraulic pressure in the left and right front wheel cylinders 82FL, 82FR can be controlled using the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44FL and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45FL in the first control system, and the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RR and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 44FR.
- the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder 82RR of the right rear wheel can be controlled using the linear control valve 45RR.
- the brake ECU 100 sets the communication mode to the partial communication mode. For example, when an abnormality is detected only in the front / rear communication on / off valve 66, the brake ECU 100 cuts off the power supply to the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 to open / close the front wheel communication as shown in FIGS.
- the valve 64 and the rear wheel communication on-off valve 65 are maintained in the open state.
- the front wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR communicate with each other
- the rear wheel cylinders 82RL and 82RR communicate with each other.
- step S15 If the brake ECU 100 determines in step S15 that the partial communication mode cannot be executed, the brake ECU 100 proceeds to step S17 to set the communication mode to the four-wheel separation mode. Therefore, when the conditions set for the four-wheel communication mode or the partial communication mode are not satisfied, the four-wheel separation mode is set for all.
- the four-wheel separation mode is set as the communication mode unless the abnormality content is an abnormality pattern specified by the partial communication permission condition. Further, an abnormality is detected in any one of the power hydraulic pressure generator 30, the stroke simulator 70, the master cut valves 46 and 47, the master cylinder pressure sensors 52L and 52R, the accumulator pressure sensor 51, and the pedal stroke sensor 110. In this case, the four-wheel separation mode is set as the communication mode.
- all of the controllable pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 or pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45 must be operated at the same time in order to control the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder 82 in the communication state.
- the pressure increasing linear control valve 44 or a part of the pressure reducing linear control valve 45 can be stopped. Thereby, the number of linear control valves to be operated can be reduced, and the generation of operating noise can be reduced. Further, even if an abnormality occurs in some of the pressure increasing linear control valves 44 or some of the pressure reducing linear control valves 45, the pressure increasing linear control valve 44 or the pressure reducing linear control valve 45 in which no abnormality is detected is used. Thus, the hydraulic pressure control of all the wheel cylinders 82 can be continued. Thereby, the capability to cope with the failure of the linear control valve can be improved.
- the brake ECU 100 repeats such a communication control routine at a predetermined short cycle. Therefore, the set communication mode is maintained regardless of whether or not the brake pedal is operated.
- FIG. 3 shows a valve selection control routine executed by the microcomputer of the brake ECU 100.
- This valve selection control routine is executed in cooperation with the microcomputer of the first control block 101 and the microcomputer of the second control block 102 sharing information with each other, but in preference to the microcomputer of one of the control blocks.
- an abnormality occurs in the control block, it may be executed by a microcomputer in another control block.
- a microcomputer dedicated to valve selection control is provided, and the microcomputer dedicated to valve selection control acquires information from the microcomputer of the first control block 101 and the microcomputer of the second control block 102 and executes the valve selection control control routine. There may be.
- the valve selection control routine is repeatedly executed at a predetermined short period in parallel with the communication control routine when the communication mode is set to the four-wheel communication mode or the partial communication mode.
- This valve selection routine includes not only the selection process of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45 to be operated, but also the process of setting the hydraulic pressure detection value used for the hydraulic pressure control.
- the brake ECU 100 determines whether or not a pressure increase request or a pressure reduction request is output in step S20.
- the brake ECU 100 issues a pressure increase request when the hydraulic pressure control of the wheel cylinder 82 is executed and the deviation (P * ⁇ Pw) between the target hydraulic pressure P * and the wheel cylinder pressure Pw is larger than the pressure increase start threshold.
- the target current of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 is set according to the deviation. If the deviation (P * -Pw) between the target hydraulic pressure P * and the wheel cylinder pressure Pw is negative, a depressurization request is output when the absolute value of the deviation is greater than the depressurization start threshold.
- the target current of the pressure reducing linear control valve 45 is set. In step S20, determination is made by reading a command signal (pressure increase request, pressure decrease request) used in this hydraulic pressure control.
- the brake ECU 100 ends the valve selection control routine when no pressure increase request or pressure reduction request is output.
- the valve selection control routine is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle. When such a process is repeated and a pressure increase request or a pressure decrease request is output (S20: Yes), the brake ECU 100 determines in step S21 a linear control valve (in the case of a pressure increase request, the pressure increase linear control valve 44, the pressure decrease). In the case of a request, it is determined whether or not it is easy for the driver to hear the operation sound accompanying the opening of the pressure-reducing linear control valve 45 (hereinafter referred to as the linear control valve 44 (45)).
- the brake ECU 100 acquires vehicle speed information, compares the current vehicle speed V with a preset threshold value Vref, and when the vehicle speed V is lower than the threshold value Vref, the operating sound is easily heard by the driver. It is judged that.
- the brake ECU 100 selects the linear control valve 44 (45) in which the operating sound is less likely to be generated in step S22.
- the brake ECU 100 stores in advance operation sound information indicating which of the four pressure-increasing linear control valves 44 and the four pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45 is a valve that hardly generates an operation sound. Based on the sound information, one of the usable linear control valves 44 (45) that does not easily generate an operating sound is selected. For example, a normally closed electromagnetic linear control valve is more likely to generate operating noise than a normally open electromagnetic linear control valve.
- the pressure-reducing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR for the left and right rear wheels correspond to linear control valves that are unlikely to generate operating noise.
- one of the pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR may be selected. For example, each time the brake pedal is operated, the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45RL and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45RR may be alternately selected.
- the level of the operating noise may vary depending on the length of the individual passage 43, which is a hydraulic passage from the linear control valve 44 (45) to the wheel cylinder 82, the arrangement position, and the like. Therefore, the pressure-increasing linear control valves 44, which are all normally closed, can be set in advance as to which valves are unlikely to generate operating noise. Note that the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 may not be set to a valve that hardly generates an operation sound. In this case, in a situation where a pressure increase request is output, it is preferable to proceed to the process of step S23 described later without performing the situation determination of step S21.
- step S21 If the brake ECU 100 determines in step S21 that the operating sound is not easily heard by the driver, the brake ECU 100 selects a minimum number of times of operation from the available linear control valves 44 (45) in step S23. .
- step S24 which will be described later, the brake ECU 100 accumulates the number of operations for each linear control valve 44 (45) and stores it in a nonvolatile memory (not shown). Therefore, in step S23, the linear control valve 44 (45) that can be used and minimizes the number of operations is selected by reading the stored number of operations. What is necessary is just to let the frequency
- the linear control valve 44 (45) selected in this way is operated as a control valve for performing hydraulic pressure control, and the linear control valves not selected are deactivated.
- the brake ECU 100 repeats the valve selection control routine at a predetermined short cycle, but does not change the selected linear control valve 44 (45) during the period when the pressure increase request or the pressure decrease request is output. To regulate. Alternatively, the linear control valve 44 (45) to be selected may be restricted so as not to be changed during the period in which one braking operation is performed.
- the brake ECU 100 selects one of the linear control valves 44 (45) in step S22 or step S23, the brake ECU 100 sets the number of actuations of the selected linear control valve 44 (45) to the value “1” in the subsequent step S24. Increment only and update and store. Although the valve selection control routine is repeated at a predetermined short cycle, after updating the number of operations, until the linear control valve 44 (45) is closed, that is, no pressure increase request or pressure reduction request is output. Do not update the number of operations until. Thereby, the frequency
- step S25 the brake ECU 100 reads the detected values of the usable hydraulic pressure sensors 53 (all hydraulic pressure sensors 53 in which no abnormality is detected) and uses the detected values of each wheel cylinder 82. Get common fluid pressure.
- This common hydraulic pressure represents a common wheel cylinder pressure Pw used for hydraulic pressure control of the wheel cylinder 82 in communication.
- the brake ECU 100 calculates an average value of detection values of the usable hydraulic pressure sensor 53 and sets the calculation result to the common hydraulic pressure.
- the average value of the detected values excluding the maximum value and the minimum value among the detected values of the usable hydraulic pressure sensor 53 is calculated, and the calculation result is set to the common hydraulic pressure.
- step S25 finishes a valve selection control routine, if the process of step S25 is performed. Then, the valve selection control routine is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.
- valve selection control routine the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 and the pressure-decreasing linear control valve 45 to be operated are each one, but a plurality of them can be used in combination.
- a used valve number setting process (step S201) may be added between step S20 and step S21.
- the number of linear control valves 44 (45) used is preferably increased as the total value of the required flow rates of hydraulic fluid supplied from the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 to the wheel cylinders 82 increases.
- step S201 for example, the larger the absolute value of the deviation (P * ⁇ Pw) between the common target hydraulic pressure P * and the common hydraulic pressure Pw, the larger the number of used linear control valves 44 (45).
- the brake ECU 100 stores in advance association information relating the absolute value of the deviation (P * ⁇ Pw) and the number of linear control valves 44 (45) used.
- step S201 the brake ECU 100 calculates the hydraulic pressure control. Deviation (P * -Pw) is read, and the correlation information is referenced to set the number of linear control valves 44 (45) used corresponding to the deviation (P * -Pw).
- step S22 the set number of linear control valves 44 (45) is selected so as to preferentially include the linear control valves 44 (45) that are less likely to generate operating noise. Further, in step S23, the linear control valve 44 (45) having the smaller number of operations is prioritized, that is, the linear control valve 44 (45) having the set number of operations is selected in the order of the smaller number of operations.
- ⁇ Variation 2 of the valve selection control routine In the valve selection control routine, the number of operations of the linear control valve 44 (45) is equalized. Alternatively, the operation time of the linear control valve 44 (45) may be equalized. Good. In this case, in step S23, the brake ECU 100 selects one of the available linear control valves 44 (45) that has the minimum operating time, and in step S24, the brake ECU 100 operates the selected linear control valve 44 (45). The time is incremented by the value “1” and updated and stored. In this case, the operation time may be incremented while the pressure increase request or the pressure decrease request is output.
- the common hydraulic pressure is calculated using the detected values of the plurality of hydraulic pressure sensors 53, but the common hydraulic pressure is not necessarily calculated from the detected values of the plurality of hydraulic pressure sensors 53.
- the detection value of any one hydraulic pressure sensor may be set to the common hydraulic pressure.
- the detection value of the hydraulic pressure sensor 53 different from the hydraulic pressure sensor 53 of the wheel corresponding to the linear control valve 44 (45) to be operated may be set to the common hydraulic pressure.
- the detection value of the hydraulic pressure sensor 53 provided at the position farthest from the linear control valve 44 (45) to be operated may be set to the common hydraulic pressure. Since the detection value of the hydraulic pressure sensor 53 provided at the position farthest from the linear control valve 44 (45) tends to be a small value when the pressure is increased, it is ensured by setting this detection value as the common hydraulic pressure. A braking force can be generated.
- ⁇ Hydraulic pressure control> When the brake ECU 100 performs hydraulic pressure control of the wheel cylinder 82 in the four-wheel communication mode, the brake ECU 100 operates only the linear control valve 44 (45) selected in step S22 or step S23, and sets the common fluid set in step S25.
- the target current i * of the linear control valve 44 (45) is set so that the pressure Pw follows the common target hydraulic pressure P *.
- the target current ia * of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 at the time of pressure increase is fed back to the valve opening current iopena of the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44 to be operated to the deviation between the common target hydraulic pressure P * and the common hydraulic pressure Pw.
- feedforward control may be employed instead of feedback control, or feedback control and feedforward control may be combined.
- FIG. 6 shows a flow path of hydraulic fluid when hydraulic pressure control (during pressure increase) is performed in the four-wheel communication mode.
- FIG. 7 shows a flow path of hydraulic fluid when hydraulic pressure control (during pressure reduction) is performed in the four-wheel communication mode.

- the pressure-increasing linear control valve 44RR or 44RL
- the depressurizing linear control valve 45FR (45FL may be used) is used to reduce the hydraulic pressure of the front wheel cylinders 82FL, 82FR, and the depressurizing linear control valve 45RR (45RL may be used). ) Is used to reduce the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders 82RL and 82RR of the rear wheels.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64, the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65, and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 are all kept closed.
- the brake ECU 100 increases the four pressures as shown in FIG.
- the pressure-increasing linear control valves 44 are individually controlled to increase the hydraulic pressures of the four wheel cylinders 82.
- the four pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45 are individually controlled as shown in FIG. The hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder 82 is reduced.
- the brake ECU 100 opens the master cut valves 46 and 47 as shown in FIG.
- the wheel cylinder 82FL for the left front wheel communicates with the pressurizing chamber 21, and the wheel cylinder 82FR for the right front wheel communicates with the pressurizing chamber 22.
- the brake ECU 100 maintains the pressure-increasing linear control valves 44FL and 44FR and the pressure-decreasing linear control valves 45FL and 45FR in the closed state.
- the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L1 including the master passage 23 and the individual passage 43FL is opened, and the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L2 including the master passage 24 and the individual passage 43FR is opened.
- the pedal effort hydraulic pressure paths L1 and L2 are cut off from other flow paths and constitute independent brake systems.
- the brake ECU 100 closes the simulator cut valve 72.
- a hydraulic pressure (pedal force hydraulic pressure) is generated in the master cylinder 20 by using the force of the driver depressing the brake pedal, and this hydraulic pressure is supplied to the wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR of the front wheels, whereby the brake pedal of the driver A braking force corresponding to the operation can be generated.
- FIG. 14 shows the flow of hydraulic fluid at the time of pressure increase.
- the hydraulic fluid is returned toward the pressurizing chambers 21 and 22 in the front wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR, and the rear wheel In the wheel cylinders 82RL and 82RR, the working fluid is returned toward the return passage 42 via the pressure-reducing linear control valves 45RL and 45RR.
- the three brake systems can be separated from each other. As a result, even if hydraulic fluid leaks in one brake system, the other brake systems can be prevented from being affected.
- a hydraulic pressure (stepping force hydraulic pressure) is generated in the master cylinder 20 by using the force of the driver depressing the brake pedal, and this hydraulic pressure is supplied to the wheel cylinders 82FL and 82FR of the front wheels.
- a braking force corresponding to the operation of the brake pedal can be generated.
- a normally closed solenoid valve is used for the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 provided in the front wheel side left / right communication passage 61 and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 provided in the front / rear communication passage 63. Is done. For this reason, when the brake control device is not activated, when hydraulic pressure control cannot be performed due to an abnormality occurring in the brake control device, or when leakage of hydraulic fluid is detected, the pedal force hydraulic pressure path L1 and It is possible to maintain the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L2 so as not to communicate with each other and with other hydraulic fluid paths.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 maintains the closed state, so that the hydraulic fluid in the other pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L2 becomes hydraulic fluid. It does not flow to the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L1 in which the leakage occurs. Accordingly, among the three storage chambers 60a, 60b, 60c partitioned in the reservoir 60, the hydraulic fluid in the storage chamber 60b for supplying hydraulic fluid to the pedal effort hydraulic pressure path L1 decreases, but the other storage chambers 60a. , 60c can be prevented from decreasing.

- power is not consumed to keep the rear wheel communication on-off valve 65 open.
- the effect of reducing power consumption is great because the four-wheel communication mode or the partial communication mode is continued regardless of the brake pedal operation.
- there is no problem with respect to measures against hydraulic fluid leakage For example, even if hydraulic fluid leaks in the left and right wheel cylinders 82RL or the individual passages 43RL, when the brake ECU 100 is not activated or the hydraulic pressure control is not performed, the pressure increasing linear control is performed.
- valves 44RL and 44RR are maintained in the closed state, the hydraulic fluid is not supplied from the power hydraulic pressure generator 30 to the wheel cylinders 82 of the respective wheels. For this reason, the amount of hydraulic fluid leakage is small regardless of the open / close state of the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65. Further, during hydraulic pressure control, the amount of hydraulic fluid leakage is not affected by the open / close state of the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65. For this reason, a normally open solenoid valve is used as the rear wheel communication on-off valve 65.
- the magnitude of the operating sound can be reduced. Further, when it is determined that the operating sound is easily heard by the driver, the linear control valve 44 (45) is switched to the linear control valve 44 (45) in which the preset operating sound is less likely to be generated.

Even in this case, the quietness at the time of hydraulic pressure control of the wheel cylinder 82 can be improved.
- the partial communication mode is set.
- the number of linear control valves 44 (45) to be activated can be reduced, and the number of occurrences of operating noise can be reduced.

It can be used to continue hydraulic control.
- the front wheel communication on / off valve 64 and the front / rear communication on / off valve 66 provided in a communication path that connects the four wheel cylinders 82 to each other are normally closed solenoid valves, and the rear wheel communication on / off valve 65 is a normally open solenoid valve.

増圧用リニア制御弁44、減圧用リニア制御弁45が開弁するときに、作動音が発生することがある。この作動音は、増圧用リニア制御弁44、減圧用リニア制御弁45が開弁する瞬間に液圧が脈動することにより、その脈動が配管や車体に伝わることによって発生する。この作動音は、ドライバーに対して違和感を与えることがある。本実施形態のように、前後左右輪のホイールシリンダ82にそれぞれ増圧用リニア制御弁44と減圧用リニア制御弁45とを備え、それらのリニア制御弁44,45が独立して制御されるシステムにおいては、作動音の発生が多い。車両挙動制御やABS制御などの特別ブレーキ制御が行われない通常ブレーキ制御時においては、4つのホイールシリンダ82の目標液圧P*は、共通の値(互いに同じ値)に設定されるため、必ずしも、個々のホイールシリンダ82ごとに、その液圧を個別リニア制御弁装置50にて独立して制御しなくてもよい。そこで、本実施形態においては、状況に応じて4つのホイールシリンダ82を互いに連通した状態にして、一部の増圧用リニア制御弁44および一部の減圧用リニア制御弁45を休止させながら液圧制御を行うことで、作動音の発生(発生回数)を抑制する。
ここで、作動させる増圧用リニア制御弁44および減圧用リニア制御弁45の選択方法について説明する。図3は、ブレーキECU100のマイコンが実行する弁選択制御ルーチンを表す。この弁選択制御ルーチンは、第1制御ブロック101のマイコンと第2制御ブロック102のマイコンとが互いに情報を共有して協働して実行するが、何れか一方の制御ブロックのマイコンに優先して実行させ、その制御ブロックに異常が発生した場合に、他の制御ブロックのマイコンに実行させるようにしてもよい。また、弁選択制御専用のマイコンを設け、弁選択制御専用のマイコンが、第1制御ブロック101のマイコンと第2制御ブロック102のマイコンから情報を取得して弁選択制御制御ルーチンを実行する構成であってもよい。
この弁選択制御ルーチンにおいては、作動させる増圧用リニア制御弁44と減圧用リニア制御弁45とをそれぞれ1つとしているが、複数組み合わせて使用することもできる。例えば、図4に示すように、ステップS20とステップS21との間に、使用弁数設定処理(ステップS201)を追加するように構成してもよい。リニア制御弁44(45)の使用数は、動力液圧発生装置30から各ホイールシリンダ82に供給する作動液の必要流量の合計値が多いほど多くすることが好ましい。そこで、ステップS201の使用弁数設定処理では、例えば、共通目標液圧P*と共通液圧Pwとの偏差(P*-Pw)の絶対値が大きいほどリニア制御弁44(45)の使用数を増加させるようにする。ブレーキECU100は、偏差(P*-Pw)の絶対値とリニア制御弁44(45)の使用数とを関係付ける関係付け情報を予め記憶しており、ステップS201においては、液圧制御で計算される偏差(P*-Pw)を読み込み、関係付け情報を参照して、偏差(P*-Pw)に対応するリニア制御弁44(45)の使用数を設定する。そして、ステップS22においては、作動音の発生しにくいリニア制御弁44(45)を優先的に含むように、上記設定された使用数のリニア制御弁44(45)を選択する。また、ステップS23においては、作動回数の少ないリニア制御弁44(45)を優先させて、つまり、作動回数の少ない順に、上記設定された使用数のリニア制御弁44(45)を選択する。
上記弁選択制御ルーチンにおいては、リニア制御弁44(45)の作動回数を均等化する構成であるが、それに代えて、リニア制御弁44(45)の作動時間を均等化する構成であってもよい。この場合、ブレーキECU100は、ステップS23においては、使用可能なリニア制御弁44(45)のなかから最小作動時間のものを選択し、ステップS24において、選択されたリニア制御弁44(45)の作動時間を値「1」だけインクリメントして更新記憶する。この場合、増圧要求あるいは減圧要求が出力されている間中、その作動時間をインクリメントしていくようにするとよい。
上記弁選択制御ルーチンにおいては、ステップS25において、使用可能な複数の液圧センサ53の検出値を使って共通液圧を計算するが、必ずしも、複数の液圧センサ53の検出値から共通液圧を計算する必要はなく、例えば、任意の1つの液圧センサの検出値を共通液圧に設定するようにしてもよい。この場合、作動させるリニア制御弁44(45)に対応する輪の液圧センサ53とは異なる液圧センサ53の検出値を共通液圧に設定するようにしてもよい。例えば、作動させるリニア制御弁44(45)から最も離れた位置に設けられる液圧センサ53の検出値を共通液圧に設定するようにしてもよい。リニア制御弁44(45)から最も離れた位置に設けられる液圧センサ53の検出値は、増圧時においては小さめの値となりやすいため、この検出値を共通液圧として設定することで、確実に制動力を発生させることができる。
ブレーキECU100は、4輪連通モードでホイールシリンダ82の液圧制御を行う場合、ステップS22あるいはステップS23で選択されたリニア制御弁44(45)のみを作動させて、ステップS25で設定された共通液圧Pwが共通目標液圧P*に追従するように、リニア制御弁44(45)の目標電流i*を設定する。例えば、増圧時の増圧用リニア制御弁44の目標電流ia*は、作動させる増圧用リニア制御弁44の開弁電流iopenaに、共通目標液圧P*と共通液圧Pwとの偏差にフィードバックゲインGfbaを乗じた値を加算することにより計算される(ia*=iopena+Gfba・(P*-Pw))。また、減圧時の減圧用リニア制御弁45の目標電流ib*は、作動させる減圧用リニア制御弁45の開弁電流iopenbに、共通目標液圧P*と共通液圧Pwとの偏差にフィードバックゲインGfbbを乗じた値を加算することにより計算される(ib*=iopenb+Gfbb・(Pw-P*))。このフィードバックゲインGfba,Gfbbは、4輪独立して液圧を制御する場合のフィードバックゲインとは異なる値に設定されている。つまり、4輪のホイールシリンダ82の液圧を一部のリニア制御弁44(45)を作動させて制御する場合には、リニア制御弁44(45)から流す作動液の流量が多くなるため、それに応じたフィードバックゲインGfba,Gfbbが設定されている。尚、目標電流の計算にあたっては、フィードバック制御に代えて、フィードフォワード制御を採用してもよいし、フィードバック制御とフィードフォワード制御とを組み合わせるようにしてもよい。
4輪連通モードにおいては、一部のリニア制御弁44(45)の通電制御により、全てのホイールシリンダ82の液圧が共通して制御される。この4輪連通モードにおける作動液の流路について説明する。図6は、4輪連通モードにおいて液圧制御(増圧時)が行われているときの作動液の流路を表す。この例は、右前輪の増圧用リニア制御弁44FRのみを使って各ホイールシリンダ82の液圧を増加させているときの流路を表している。また、図7は、4輪連通モードにおいて液圧制御(減圧時)が行われているときの作動液の流路を表す。この例は、左後輪の減圧用リニア制御弁45RLのみを使って各ホイールシリンダ82の液圧を低下させているときの流路を表している。このように、4輪連通モードにおいては、弁選択制御ルーチンで選択されたリニア制御弁44(45)により、ホイールシリンダ82の液圧が制御される。
本実施形態のブレーキ制御装置においては、前輪側左右連通路61に設けられる前輪連通用開閉弁64、および、前後連通路63に設けられる前後連通用開閉弁66には、常閉式電磁弁が使用される。このため、ブレーキ制御装置が起動していないときや、ブレーキ制御装置内に発生した異常により液圧制御を実施できないとき、作動液の漏れが検出されているとき等において、踏力液圧路L1と踏力液圧路L2とを、互いに連通しなく、かつ、他の作動液の通路とも連通しない状態に維持することができる。
以上説明した本実施形態の車両のブレーキ制御装置によれば以下の作用効果を奏する。
1.通常ブレーキ制御時に4輪のホイールシリンダ82が互いに連通した状態に維持されるため、一部のリニア制御弁44(45)を休止させた状態で残りのリニア制御弁44(45)を作動させて、4輪のホイールシリンダ82の液圧を制御することができる。これにより、リニア制御弁44(45)全体の作動音の発生回数を低減することができる。また、作動させるリニア制御弁44(45)の数に対して制御対象となるホイールシリンダ82の数が増えるため、開弁時に発生する作動液の脈動を吸収する作動液の量が増加して、作動音の大きさを低減することができる。また、作動音がドライバーに聞こえやすい状況であると判定されている場合には、予め設定された作動音が発生しにくいリニア制御弁44(45)に切り替えられるため、リニア制御弁44(45)の作動に起因してドライバーに与える違和感を低減することができる。この結果、通常ブレーキ制御時における静粛性を向上させることができる。
