Abstract
A brake system and a method for controlling the same are proposed. The brake system includes a brake unit including a friction member to perform braking according to a driver's request while a vehicle is driving, a drive unit receiving a rotating force of an actuator and providing a driving force to the brake unit, a hydraulic supply unit providing a hydraulic pressure to the drive unit, and an electronic control unit configured to control an operation of the actuator and the hydraulic supply unit. The electronic control unit includes a memory unit to store vehicle information at a replacement time when the friction member is replaced.
Claims13
A brake system comprising:
- a brake unit comprising a friction member to perform braking according to a driver's request while a vehicle is driving;
- a drive unit receiving a rotating force of an actuator and providing a driving force to the brake unit;
- a hydraulic supply unit providing a hydraulic pressure to the drive unit;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to control an operation of the actuator and the hydraulic supply unit,
- wherein the electronic control unit comprises a memory unit to store vehicle information at a replacement time when the friction member is replaced,
- wherein the memory unit stores a hydraulic auxiliary condition on the basis of the vehicle information, and
- the electronic control unit controls to further apply a set auxiliary hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic supply unit if the hydraulic auxiliary condition is satisfied when the braking of the vehicle is performed after the friction member is replaced.
A method for controlling a brake system comprising:
- a) replacing a friction member of a brake unit;
- b) storing vehicle information at a replacement time of the friction member in a memory unit of an electronic control unit;
- c) releasing a coupling of the brake unit and a drive unit;
- and
- d) checking a hydraulic auxiliary condition stored in the electronic control unit when braking is requested while the vehicle is running after the friction member is replaced.
