Abstract:
1. A hydraulic brake system comprising: a master cylinder generating braking hydraulic pressure by operation of a brake pedal; a wheel brake provided to each of front right and left wheels and rear right and left wheels of a vehicle and receiving the braking hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to generate braking force; an electronic valve provided to each of an inlet and an outlet of each of the wheel brakes to control flow of the braking hydraulic pressure; a low pressure accumulator temporarily storing oil, which is ejected from the wheel brake during a pressure reduction braking operation in which the electronic valves are operated; a pump compressing the oil stored in the low pressure accumulator such that the oil is ejected towards the wheel brake or the master cylinder as needed; an orifice disposed near an outlet port of the pump; a first hydraulic circuit connecting a first port of the master cylinder to two wheel brakes to control transmission of hydraulic pressure; and a second hydraulic circuit connecting a second port of the master cylinder to the remaining two wheel brakes to control transmission of hydraulic pressure, wherein a damper unit is disposed between the outlet port of the pump and the orifice to relieve a pulsation phenomenon, the damper unit allowing main flow passages of the first and second hydraulic circuits to communicate with each other therethrough, wherein the damper unit comprises a cylinder through which the main flow passages communicate with each other, a damper disposed within the cylinder to laterally reciprocate therein, and displacement restricting members disposed in both ends of the cylinder to restrict displacement of the damper, and wherein the damper comprises damping grooves receiving the displacement restricting members to relieve pulsation, and each of the displacement restricting members comprises a protrusion facing each of the damping grooves of the damper.
