Abstract
A hydraulic brake system includes a master cylinder for generating a brake fluid pressure in response to a brake pedal, a power fluid source for generating a power fluid pressure by increasing a brake fluid to a predetermined pressure. A dynamic fluid pressure control apparatus supplies the brake fluid pressure to regulate the power fluid pressure from the power fluid pressure source in response to the brake pedal. A plurality of wheel cylinders of each wheel for the vehicle are fluidically communicated with a dynamic fluid pressure control apparatus and the master cylinder via a fluid passage separated into plural control systems. A first changeover valve fluidically and selectively communicates at least one system of the wheel cylinder with one of the dynamic fluid pressure control apparatus and the master cylinder and a control valve disposed in a fluid passage communicates the first changeover valve and the wheel cylinder controls the brake fluid pressure supplied to the wheel cylinder by opening and closing the fluid passage in accordance with the slip state of the wheel upon braking. A control circuit controls the actuation of the control valve and the first changeover valve, and a second changeover valve is disposed in a fluid passage fluidically communicating the first changeover valve and the dynamic fluid pressure control apparatus and selectively communicates the fluid passage with one of the dynamic fluid pressure control apparatus and the power fluid pressure source.
