Electronically controlled brake system for automobiles

An electronically controlled brake system for automobiles, comprising:

• an NO(normal open)-type solenoid valve arranged at an upstream line of a wheel brake and controlling a flow of pressurized oil fed from both a master cylinder and an outlet of an oil pump to said wheel brake;
• an NC(normal close)-type solenoid valve arranged at a downstream line of said wheel brake and controlling a flow of pressurized oil discharged from said wheel brake;
• an oil suction line connecting said master cylinder to an inlet of said oil pump;
• a first check valve mounted on said oil suction line at an upstream position and opened to guide pressurized oil from the master cylinder to the oil pump during a TCS(traction control system) mode;
• a intermediate-pressure accumulator connected to the outlet of said oil pump through an oil charging line so as to be charged with the pressurized oil outputted from the outlet of the pump;
• an oil feeding line branching from the oil charging line and connected to the oil suction line at a downstream position after the first check valve, said oil feeding line guiding pressurized oil from the intermediate-pressure accumulator to the oil pump during an ESP(electronic stability program) mode;
• and
• a second check valve mounted on said oil feeding line to open or close the oil feeding line while preventing an inverse flow of pressurized oil from the master cylinder to the intermediate-pressure accumulator.
