Brake controlling apparatus for electric vehicle

Abstract

A brake controlling apparatus in an electric vehicle comprising a hydraulic brake including a fluid pressure generating and applying device having a characteristic in which the fluid consumption rises in the fluid-pressure range of 0 to P.sub.0, and brakes the driving wheels by the fluid pressure of the fluid pressure applying device. A regenerative brake brakes the driving wheels by the regeneration of the power of a driving motor. A fluid flow cut-off device cuts off the flow of hydraulic fluid from the fluid pressure generating device to the fluid pressure applying device when the fluid pressure of the fluid pressure generating device exceeds P.sub.0. A fluid flow inducing device induces the flow of hydraulic fluid from the fluid pressure generating device to the fluid pressure applying device while maintaining the pressure difference between the fluid pressure generating and applying devices when the pressure difference exceeds .DELTA.P.sub.r. A fluid consuming device consumes the hydraulic fluid of the fluid pressure generating device with the characteristic approximate to the fluid consumption characteristic of the fluid pressure applying device when the fluid flow inducing device is inoperative. A regenerative braking controlling device controls the regenerative brake in correspondence with the pressure difference between the fluid pressure generating device and the fluid pressure applying device. The fluid consumption characteristic seen from the fluid pressure generating device is substantially the same as the fluid consumption characteristic of the fluid pressure applying device.
