Vehicle control device utilizing brake hydraulic pressure
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device comprising:
- a hydraulic unit comprising a housing and hydraulic pressure control valves mounted in said housing,an electronic control unit for controlling said hydraulic pressure control valves, said electronic control unit including a casing having a mounting surface on which the housing of said hydraulic unit is mounted, said housing being mounted on the mounting surface so as not to protrude laterally beyond an outer periphery said mounting surface, the housing protruding perpendicularly away from the mounting surface in one direction, the casing of the electronic control unit having a protruding portion protruding from the housing of said hydraulic unit in a direction substantially parallel to the mounting surface,a connector for said electronic control unit mounted on said protruding portion so that the connector and the housing are mounted on a common side of the casing, said protruding portion having a bulge, anda vehicle behavioral sensor mounted in said bulge, the bulge and the connector protruding in the one direction from the protruding portion and in the one direction from a plane containing the mounting surface.

Abstract
A vehicle control device using brake hydraulic pressure includes a hydraulic unit having a housing and an electronic control unit having a casing. The housing of the hydraulic unit is mounted on a mounting surface of the casing of the electronic control unit so that the casing of the electronic control unit protrudes from the housing of the hydraulic unit to one side. On the protruding area of the casing, a bulge is formed in which a vehicle behavioral sensor is mounted. A control connector is also provided on the protruding area of the casing. The bulge does not protrude from the substantially square contour of the vehicle control device. Thus, the bulge will scarcely increase the installation space of the vehicle control device. A vehicle behavioral sensor is mounted on a small substrate. By adjusting the angle and position of the small substrate relative to a control substrate in the casing, the position of the sensor can be adjusted relative to the travel direction, lateral direction and vertical direction of the vehicle. With the position of the sensor adjusted, the small substrate is fixed to the bulge of the casing.
