## CPC

- B60T 13/745: {acting on a hydraulic system, e.g. a master cylinder}
- B60T: VEHICLE BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF; BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS OR PARTS THEREOF, IN GENERAL (electrodynamic brake systems for vehicle, in general B60L; brakes per se, i.e. devices where braking effect occurs, including ultimate brake actuators, F16D); ARRANGEMENT OF BRAKING ELEMENTS ON VEHICLES IN GENERAL; PORTABLE DEVICES FOR PREVENTING UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES; VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS TO FACILITATE COOLING OF BRAKES

## Abstract

Proposed is an electronic brake device of a vehicle including: a cylinder unit; a screw shaft provided in the cylinder unit, and axis-rotated by a rotational force received from a motor; a nut unit coupled to the screw shaft with a ball member interposed therebetween, reciprocates in an axial direction of the screw shaft according to a rotating direction of the screw shaft, and provided with a flange part on one side end portion thereof; a piston unit coupled to the nut unit, and moves in conjunction with the nut unit; a sleeve unit provided inside the cylinder unit, and guides the piston unit to be inserted and move therethrough; and a guide member provided inside the cylinder unit, restricts rotation of the flange part so that rotation of the nut unit is restricted, and guides movement of the flange part.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic brake of a vehicle, comprising:
a cylinder unit;
a screw shaft disposed at a cylinder unit and configured to be rotated by a rotational force received from a motor;
a nut unit coupled to the screw shaft with a ball member interposed therebetween, configured to reciprocate in an axial direction of the screw shaft when the screw shaft rotates, and having a first side end portion at which a flange part is disposed;
a piston unit coupled to the nut unit and configured to move in conjunction with the nut unit;
a sleeve unit disposed within the cylinder unit and configured to guide the piston unit to move within the cylinder unit;
a guide member disposed within the cylinder unit and configured to guide movement of the flange part, wherein the guide member is configured to restrict rotation of the flange part, which restricts rotation of the nut unit;
a port disposed at an outer surface of the cylinder unit and configured to permit movement of hydraulic fluid moved by the piston in the cylinder unit through the port; and
a cutoff hole part disposed at the outer surface of the sleeve unit and connected to the port.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic brake of claim 1, further comprising a concave groove portion disposed at an inner surface of the cylinder unit and recessed in a lengthwise direction of the cylinder unit, wherein the guide member is disposed at the concave groove portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic brake of claim 2, further comprising a support portion disposed at the inner surface of the cylinder unit, protruding from a side end portion of the concave groove portion, and configured to support a side end portion of the guide member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The electronic brake of claim 2, wherein:
the nut unit comprises a guide groove portion recessed in an outer surface of the flange part and disposed corresponding to the concave groove portion, and
the flange part is configured to move in the nut unit along the guide member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic brake of claim 1, wherein the piston unit comprises:
a rod part spirally coupled to an outer surface of the nut unit; and
a head part integrally formed with the rod part and configured to reciprocate in the sleeve unit in a lengthwise direction of the sleeve unit.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic brake of claim 1, wherein the nut unit and the flange part are integrally formed with each other.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic brake of claim 1, wherein the cylinder unit is configured to generate a double-acting hydraulic pressure according to reciprocating movement of the piston unit.

### Claim 8

An electronic brake of a vehicle, comprising:
a cylinder unit;
a screw shaft disposed at a cylinder unit and configured to be rotated by a rotational force received from a motor;
a nut unit coupled to the screw shaft with a ball member interposed therebetween, configured to reciprocate in an axial direction of the screw shaft when the screw shaft rotates, and having a first side end portion at which a flange part is disposed;
a piston unit coupled to the nut unit and configured to move in conjunction with the nut unit;
a sleeve unit disposed within the cylinder unit and configured to guide the piston unit to move within the cylinder unit; and
a guide member disposed within the cylinder unit and configured to guide movement of the flange part, wherein the guide member is configured to restrict rotation of the flange part, which restricts rotation of the nut unit,
further comprising a washer unit disposed between the nut unit and the piston unit.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The electronic brake of claim 8, wherein the washer unit comprises:
a first thread disposed at a first outer side surface of the washer unit and formed in a circumferential direction of the washer unit, and
a second thread disposed at a second outer side surface of the washer unit and formed in the circumferential direction of the washer unit.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The electronic brake of claim 9, wherein the first thread and the second thread have a triangle shape.
