It has 6 side surfaces (upper surface) 30f. The first side surface 30a and the fourth side surface 30d facing the first side surface 30a are formed in a substantially rectangular shape (for example, a substantially square shape).

  The outer peripheral surface of the housing 30 is subjected to an anodized film treatment, and this surface treatment can selectively color the housing 30 while improving rust prevention and wear resistance. Excellent aesthetic appearance. In particular, the brake fluid pressure control device 10 may be disposed at a position that can be visually recognized by a user in a motorcycle, and the effect of improving the aesthetic appearance is great.

  In addition, a flow path including the front wheel flow path 11 and the rear wheel flow path 21 is formed in the housing 30. The first to sixth side faces 30a to 30f are formed with a plurality of mounting holes 31a to 31p communicating with the front wheel and rear wheel passages 11 and 21, respectively.

  The electronic control unit (ECU) 8 includes a coil unit 8a, an ECU housing 8b, an electronic board (PCB) 8c for driving and controlling the coil unit 8a, and an ECU cover 8d covering the electronic board 8c. ing. The electronic control unit 8 is attached so as to cover the first side face 30a. A connector 8e for connecting external wiring to the electronic board 8c is provided on one side of the ECU housing 8b (for example, the third side surface 30c side of the housing 30). The electronic board 8c mainly includes a microcomputer.

  The coil unit 8a incorporates four coils 8f for driving the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a. Each coil 8f has substantially the same inner diameter, and is disposed at a position corresponding to each of the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a. In addition, one side of the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a is inserted into the corresponding coil 8f and driven and controlled by each coil 8f. For example, the electronic control unit 8 can drive-control the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a in the X1 direction or the X2 direction, respectively, by exciting the corresponding coils 8f.

  Furthermore, one side of each of the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a has substantially the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of each coil 8f. Therefore, for example, even when the combination of the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a and the coils 8f is changed from the initial setting, the switching valve bodies 1a to 4a are inserted into the corresponding coils 8f, respectively. It becomes possible.

  The electronic control unit 8 is, for example, based on the rotation speeds of the front and rear wheels detected by a wheel speed sensor (not shown) and the brake fluid pressure detected by the pressure sensor 13. Antilock brake control can be performed with high accuracy by performing high-performance drive control (for example, feedback control and feedforward control) on the main bodies 1a to 4a.

  The first to fourth switching valve bodies 1 a to 4 a are inserted and attached into attachment holes 31 a to 31 d formed in the first side surface 30 a of the housing 30.

The rear-wheel AV solenoid valve 4 includes a fourth switching valve body 4a, a coil unit 8a, and the like. It is composed of

  For example, the pressure sensor 13 detects the pressure of the brake fluid supplied to the front wheel master cylinder 103. One end side of the pressure sensor 13 is inserted into an attachment hole 31j formed substantially at the center of the attachment holes 31a to 31d of the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a, and the other end side connection portion 13a is electronically controlled. Connected to unit 8.

  The centers of the mounting holes 31a to 31d substantially coincide with the center of the first side surface 30a. In other words, the mounting holes 31a to 31d of the first to fourth switching valve main bodies 1a to 4a have a rectangular shape (for example, a substantially square shape) on the first side surface 30a, and the intersection of the diagonal lines coincides with the center. I'm doing it.

  Thereby, the mounting hole 31a of the first switching valve body 1a and the mounting hole 31b of the second switching valve body 2a, the mounting hole 31c of the third switching valve body 3a, and the mounting hole 31d of the fourth switching valve body 4a are It is formed so as to be substantially line symmetric about a vertical center line passing through the pressure sensor 13.

  The pair of pistons 5 a and 5 b are urged toward the center of the housing 30 by a spring member or the like, and the front ends thereof are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam 7 c of the motor 7. Therefore, when the eccentric cam 7c of the motor 7 is rotationally driven, a so-called plunger type pump is configured in which the pair of pistons 5a and 5b reciprocate. The front wheel pump 5 and the rear wheel pump 6 are constituted by a pair of pistons 5 a and 5 b and a motor 7.

  The pair of accumulators 9 and 12 includes elastic portions 9a and 12a made of an elastic member such as rubber and the like, and cover portions 9b and 12b covering the elastic portions 9a and 12a.

  As described above, in the housing 30, the pump outlet valve 60a and the pump inlet valve 61a are provided separately, and the pump outlet valve 60b and the pump inlet valve 61b are provided separately. Thereby, since the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of each valve | bulb 60a, 60b, 61a, 61b improves, each valve | bulb 60a, 60b, 61a, 61b can be accommodated in the housing 30 compactly.

  FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the brake fluid pressure control apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3B is a view of the brake fluid pressure control device 10 shown in FIG. 3A as viewed from the X2 direction, and shows a mounting state of the housing 30 and the ECU housing 8b. 3B shows a state in which the electronic board 8c and the ECU cover 8d are removed from the electronic control unit 8 for convenience.

  For example, the first side face 30a of the housing 30 is formed with a pair of mounting holes 31r in which female threads are cut (FIG. 2). On the other hand, the ECU housing 8b is formed with a pair of mounting portions 8g facing each other, and through holes are formed in the mounting portions 8g. A fastening member such as a screw is inserted into the through hole of each mounting portion 8g of the ECU housing 8b, and the tip end thereof is screwed into the female screw of each mounting hole 31r of the housing 30. Thereby, the ECU housing 8b and the housing 30 of the electronic control unit 8 are fastened.

  The pair of attachment portions 8g of the ECU housing 8b and the pair of attachment holes 31r of the housing 30 constitute a pair of fastening portions 8h. The one fastening portion 8h and the other fastening portion 8h are formed so as to be substantially point-symmetric with respect to the pressure sensor 13 (or the center point of the first side surface 30a). Alternatively, one fastening portion 8h and the other fastening portion 8h are formed so as to be substantially line symmetric with respect to a vertical center line passing through the pressure sensor 13.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the electronic control unit 8 is attached to the first side face 30a of the housing 30, the connector portion 8e is located on the side of the third side face 30c (second attachment). Form). At this time, the external wiring connected to the connector portion 8e of the electronic control unit 8 is a so-called right-out wiring that is taken out from the third side surface 30c side of the housing 30 (from the right side in FIG. 3A).

  On the other hand, the electronic control unit 8 in the state shown in FIG. 3A (the connector portion 8e is positioned on the side of the third side face 30c) can be attached to the housing 30 by being rotated by 180 °. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the electronic control unit 8 is attached to the first side face 30a of the housing 30, the connector portion 8e is located on the side of the second side face 30b. (First mounting configuration). At this time, the external wiring connected to the connector portion 8e of the electronic control unit 8 is a so-called left-out wiring that is taken out from the second side face 30b side of the housing 30 (left side in FIG. 4A).

  As described above, according to the brake fluid pressure control device 10 according to the present embodiment, the electronic control unit 8 is simply rotated by 180 ° with respect to the housing 30 and attached, and two types of external wiring extraction directions (first Left mounting wiring of one mounting form or right wiring of the second mounting form) can be set. Thereby, for example, the degree of freedom of arrangement such as the layout of the wiring is improved, and the degree of freedom of the mounting position of the brake fluid pressure control device 10 can be easily improved. In addition, the first and second mounting modes can be set using a common (single) housing 30 without changing the design of the housing 30. Therefore, for example, the parts of the housing 30 can be shared, and the cost can be reduced.

  When the electronic control unit 8 is attached to the housing 30 by being rotated by 180 °, the correspondence relationship between the first to fourth switching valve bodies 1a to 4a and the coils 8f of the coil unit 8a changes. . Therefore, the electronic board 8c of the electronic control unit 8 in the first mounting form and the electronic board 8c of the electronic control unit 8 in the second embodiment are arranged so that this correspondence is matched and the ABS control similar to the above is possible. Are different in circuit arrangement. However, since this design change is only a simple circuit change, the influence on the cost is small. On the other hand, the cost reduction effect by sharing the parts of the housing 30 is much larger.

  As described above, in the brake hydraulic pressure control device 10 according to the present embodiment, the first side surface 30a of the housing 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the pressure sensor 13 is disposed at the approximate center of the first side surface 30a. Further, the one fastening portion 8h and the other fastening portion 8h are formed so as to be substantially point-symmetric with respect to the pressure sensor 13. Furthermore, the mounting hole 31a of the first switching valve body 1a and the mounting hole 31b of the second switching valve body 2a, the mounting hole 31c of the third switching valve body 3a, and the mounting hole 31d of the fourth switching valve body 4a are pressure. The sensor 13 is formed so as to be substantially point-symmetric with respect to the center.

  As a result, the circuit arrangement of the electronic board 8c of the electronic control unit 8 can be easily changed while using the single housing 30, and the electronic control unit 8 can be attached by rotating the electronic control unit 8 by 180 ° relative to the housing 30. Any of the attachment forms and the second attachment form can be selected. Therefore, since the extraction position (right or left) of the external wiring connected to the connector portion 8e can be freely selected, the degree of freedom of the mounting position of the brake hydraulic pressure control device 10 can be improved. Furthermore, as described above, the first mounting form and the second mounting form can be freely selected by simply changing the circuit arrangement of the electronic board 8c of the electronic control unit 8 while using the single housing 30. Can do. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the brake hydraulic pressure control apparatus 10 can be reduced. That is, the cost can be reduced while improving the degree of freedom of the mounting position of the brake fluid pressure control device 10.
