Abstract
An electronic parking brake system and assistant starting method thereof for a motor vehicle are provided, wherein, the electronic parking brake system receives all sensor signals and detection signals of the motor vehicle; when any one of the following conditions is satisfied, the brake will be released to assist the driver in starting: condition (1): a torque Tc transmitted by a clutch is calculated, and the calculated torque Tc transmitted by the clutch is greater than a torque needed for starting the motor vehicle; condition (2): an engine rotate speed is greater than an engine idle speed, and an accelerator pedal and a clutch pedal are depressed simultaneously; condition (3): starting trend of the motor vehicle is detected; condition (4): the detected engine rotate speed is lower than a first predetermined threshold value calculated according to a throttle opening data; condition (5): a detected rotate speed or angle of driving wheel is greater than a predetermined threshold value of rotate speed or angle. In the application of the electronic parking brake system and assistant starting method thereof for a motor vehicle, there is no need to additionally a mount clutch position sensor and a gear position sensor; according to all the available sensor signals and detection signals on the motor vehicle, the system can accurately judge whether the brake can be automatically released, and there is no need to modify the existing motor vehicle, featuring low lost and accurate judgment.

10. An electronic parking brake system for a motor vehicle, comprising an EPB controller and an actuating mechanism, characterized in that, the EPB controller also comprises a main control module and a CAN interface module, wherein the main control module includes a main control unit, a storage unit and one or more of calculation units;
-
wherein, the CAN interface module is designed to transmit signals or commands between the motor vehicle body CAN bus and the main control unit; according to the received sensor signals or the detection signals, the main control unit judges the type of the sensor signals or the detection signals, selects the corresponding calculation unit to make calculation;
according to the calculated results obtained by the calculation unit or the sensor signals or detection signals received by the main control unit, the main control unit determines whether the current motor vehicle meets the condition for releasing the brake;
when the condition for releasing the brake is satisfied, the main control unit controls the actuating mechanism to operate and thus release the braking completed by the parking brake system;
or through the CAN interface module, the main control unit sends to the ESP system of the motor vehicle by way of the vehicle body CAN bus the command to release the braking pipeline pressure, so as to release the braking completed by ESP system;according to the sensor signals or the detection signals sent by the main control unit as well as the relevant parameters in the storage unit, the one or more of calculation units make calculation, and the calculated results are provided to the main control unit to determine whether the condition for releasing brake is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
