Abstract

Disclosed is a hydraulic brake system comprising a master cylinder forming a braking hydraulic pressure according to an operation of a brake pedal, wheel brakes provided at a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, to provide a braking force by receiving the braking hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder, solenoid valves provided at an inlet side and an outlet side of each of the wheel brakes to control a flow of the braking hydraulic pressure, a low pressure accumulator temporarily storing oil discharged from the wheel brake during a pressure reducing braking in which the solenoid valve operates, a pump configured to compress oil stored in the low pressure accumulator such that the oil is discharged toward the wheel brake or the master cylinder according to a demand, and an orifice provided at an outlet side of the pump, wherein the orifice includes an outer case and an inner case provided to form a space between the outer case and the inner case while assembled to the outer case, a first oil passage passing through the inner case, and a second oil passage provided in the space between the outer case and the inner case, and the first oil passage and the second oil passage have lengths different from each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic brake system comprising a master cylinder forming a braking hydraulic pressure according to an operation of a brake pedal, wheel brakes provided at a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, to provide a braking force by receiving the braking hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder, solenoid valves provided at an inlet side and an outlet side of each of the wheel brakes to control a flow of the braking hydraulic pressure, a low pressure accumulator temporarily storing oil discharged from the wheel brakes during a pressure reducing braking in which the solenoid valves operate, a pump configured to compress oil stored in the low pressure accumulator such that the oil is discharged toward the wheel brakes or the master cylinder according to a demand, and an orifice provided at an outlet side of the pump, wherein the orifice comprises:
an outer case and an inner case provided to form a space between the outer case and the inner case while assembled to the outer case;
a first oil passage passing from the outer case through the inner case; and
a second oil passage formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner case and provided in the space between the outer case and the inner case, and
the first oil passage and the second oil passage have lengths different from each other.

2. The hydraulic brake system of claim 1 , wherein the first oil passage is provided at a center of the inner case.

3. The hydraulic brake system of claim 1 , wherein:
the outer case is provided in the form of a cylinder having one side thereof open, and
the inner case includes a rod part configured to be spaced apart from an inner wall of the outer case to form a space when coupled to the outer case, and a flange having the same outer diameter as an outer diameter of the outer case and coupled to the outer case.

4. The hydraulic brake system of claim 3 , wherein:
the outer case and the inner case are forcedly press-fitted with each other; and
an end portion of the rod part comes into close contact with a bottom of the outer case while coupled to each other, such that the first oil passage is separated from the second oil passage.

5. The hydraulic brake system of claim 4 , wherein the outer case includes a first inlet provided at a center of the bottom of the outer case and a second inlet provided at a periphery of the bottom of the outer case while apart from the first inlet.

6. The hydraulic brake system of claim 1 , wherein the second oil passage is provided in a spiral shape.

7. The hydraulic brake system of claim 1 , wherein the orifice is provided with a through hole to communicate the first oil passage with the second oil passage.

8. The hydraulic brake system of claim 7 , wherein oil passing through the first oil passage and the second oil passage is discharged through an outlet of the first oil passage.

9. The hydraulic brake system of claim 1 , wherein the outer case comprises:
a first inlet connected to the first oil passage; and
a second inlet connected to the second oil passage.

10. A hydraulic brake system comprising a master cylinder forming a braking hydraulic pressure according to an operation of a brake pedal, wheel brakes provided at a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, to provide a braking force by receiving the braking hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder, solenoid valves provided at an inlet side of and an exit side of each of the wheel brakes to control a flow of a braking hydraulic pressure, a low pressure accumulator temporarily storing oil discharged from the wheel brakes during a pressure reducing braking in which the solenoid valves operate, a pump configured to compress oil stored in the low pressure accumulator such that the oil is discharged toward the wheel brakes or the master cylinder according to a demand, and an orifice provided at an outlet side of the pump, wherein the orifice comprises:
a first oil passage and a second oil passage that have lengths different from each other, and
the first oil passage passes through the orifice, and the second oil passage is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner case and provided in a space formed between an outer circumference of the orifice and a hydraulic block in which the orifice is installed.

11. The hydraulic brake system of claim 10 , wherein the first oil passage is provided at a center of the orifice.
