Electronic brake system using integrated sensor and method of operating the same
First Claim
1. An electronic brake system for a vehicle using an integrated sensor, comprising:
- a hydraulic block configured to distribute and supply a fluid to a wheel brake, and having a through-hole disposed on both sides of the hydraulic block to penetrate the hydraulic block;
a sensor module coupled to the through-hole at one side of the hydraulic block for sensing a linear displacement of a brake pedal and a position of a motor; and
an electronic control unit coupled to the through-hole on the other side of the hydraulic block opposite to the sensor module, in order to determine a movement distance of the brake pedal, based on the linear displacement of the brake pedal sensed by the sensor module, and control rotation of the motor depending on the linear displacement of the brake pedal.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electronic brake system using an integrated sensor, which includes a hydraulic block configured to distribute and supply a fluid to a wheel brake, and having a through-hole penetrated at both sides thereof, a sensor module installed at one side of the hydraulic block having the through-hole, for sensing a linear displacement of a brake pedal and a position of a motor, and an electronic control unit installed to a side of the hydraulic block opposite to the sensor module, in order to determine a movement distance of the pedal, based on the linear displacement of the pedal sensed by the sensor module, and control rotation of the motor depending on the linear displacement of the pedal.

11. A method of operating an electronic brake system for a vehicle, including a hydraulic block configured to distribute and supply a fluid to a wheel brake, and having a through-hole disposed on both sides of the hydraulic block to penetrate the hydraulic block, a circuit board coupled to the through-hole at one side of the hydraulic block and including a pedal sensor module for sensing a linear displacement of a pedal and a motor sensor module for sensing a rotation angle displacement of a motor, and an electronic control unit coupled to the through-hole on the other side of the hydraulic block opposite to the sensor module, the method comprising:
-
sensing a variation of a magnetic field generated by a magnet moved along with movement of an input rod; determining a movement distance of the pedal, based on an intensity and a direction of the magnetic field; sensing a position of the motor; and controlling rotation of the motor corresponding to the movement distance of the pedal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
