Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a hydraulic brake system including a cylinder device that includes a front chamber and a rear chamber located on front and rear sides of a pressurizing piston, respectively, presence or absence of liquid leakage from a brake line is detected based on a hydraulic pressure in the rear chamber. Where a state in which a subtraction value obtained by subtracting an actual rear hydraulic pressure from a target rear hydraulic pressure is larger than a first malfunction determination threshold value has continued for a time not shorter than a first malfunction determination time, and then an increase of the actual rear hydraulic pressure at a rate not lower than a set rate has caused the subtraction value to become smaller than a return determination threshold value, it is determined that the pressurizing piston has been bottomed due to liquid leakage from the front chamber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hydraulic brake system comprising: a cylinder device provided in a vehicle and comprising (a) a housing, (b) at least one pressurizing piston fluid-tightly and slidably fitted in the housing, (c) at least one front chamber respectively provided in front of the at least one pressurizing piston, and (d) a rear-force control device operable by a supply of electric power and capable of controlling a rear force that is a driving force applied from a rear…
