Abstract

Provided is a hydraulic unit of a brake system including a housing; an oil supply part configured to supply oil to the housing; an oil discharge part configured to discharge the oil, supplied to the housing through the oil supply part, to the outside of the housing; and a piston movably mounted on the housing, and configured to open and close the oil supply part and the oil discharge part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic unit of a brake system, comprising:
a housing including an inner surface having a first diameter;
an oil supply part configured to supply oil to the housing, wherein the oil supply part is disposed to communicate with the housing;
an oil discharge part disposed in a center region of the housing and configured to discharge the oil to an outside of the housing, wherein the oil discharge part is separated from the oil supply part, and disposed to communicate with the housing;
a piston movably mounted on the housing, and configured to open and close the oil supply part and the oil discharge part, wherein the piston comprises:
an opening and closing part movably mounted in the housing, and configured to open and close the oil supply part and the oil discharge part;
a support part fixed to the inside of the housing that tapers to a second diameter less than the first diameter;
an elastic part having one side supported by the support part and the other side contacting the opening and closing part, and configured to provide an elastic force to the opening and closing part; and
a sealing part mounted on an outer surface of the opening and closing part to contact the inner surface having the first diameter of the housing,
wherein the opening and closing part comprises:
an opening and closing body formed in a cylindrical shape and moved in the housing while abutting on the inner surface of the housing; and
an opening and closing protrusion protruding from another side of the opening and closing body, surrounding the oil discharge part, capable of contacting the oil supply part, and configured to block a flow path to which the oil discharge part and the oil supply part are connected, when contacted with the oil supply part,
wherein the opening and closing protrusion has an inclined part which is inclined downward toward the outside from the oil discharge part,
wherein an upper end of the inclined part is contacted with the oil supply part so as to expose a part of the oil supply part,
wherein the housing includes at least one step portion having a third diameter wider than the first diameter,
wherein the support part is fixed to an inside of the step portion, and
wherein the oil supply part is disposed between the oil discharge part and the inner surface of the housing.

2. The hydraulic unit of claim 1 , wherein the opening and closing part further comprises a stopper formed on one side of the opening and closing body, and configured to block the elastic part from separating from the opening and closing body.

3. The hydraulic unit of claim 2 , wherein the elastic part is configured as a coil spring to surround an outer surface of the stopper.

4. The hydraulic unit of claim 2 , wherein the sealing part is configured to block oil leakage between the opening and closing body and the housing.

5. The hydraulic unit of claim 1 , wherein the opening and closing protrusion is not contacted with the oil discharge part.
