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 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 circuit board configured such that a pedal sensor module for sensing a linear displacement of a pedal is mounted on one side of the circuit board and a motor sensor module for sensing a rotation angle displacement of a motor is mounted on the circuit board, using an integrated sensor, 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)
