Patent ID: 7021727

Claim:
A vehicle brake system comprising: a braking force generating unit which provides first, second, third and fourth lines with first, second, third and fourth hydraulic pressures which can be set independently; a pair of independently controlled calipers that are disposed in one of a pair of front right and left wheels, respectively, and a pair of rear right and left wheels, respectively; each independently controlled caliper including friction members disposed so as to be pressed to a brake disc rotating with a wheel and also including a first pressurizing unit pressing a first portion of the friction member and a second pressurizing unit pressing a second portion of the friction member toward the brake disc with pressing force corresponding to the hydraulic pressures that are supplied; and a single line-connected caliper in the other pair of the front right and left wheels and the rear right and left wheels; the single line-connected caliper including friction members disposed so as to be pressed to brake discs and a third pressurizing unit which presses the friction members with pressing force corresponding to the hydraulic pressure to be applied to the brake disc; wherein the left-side first pressurizing unit is connected to the first line and is applied with the first hydraulic pressure, the left-side second pressurizing unit and the left-side third pressurizing unit are both connected to the second line and are applied with the second hydraulic pressure, and the right-side first pressurizing unit is connected to the third line and is applied with the third hydraulic pressure, and the both right-side second pressurizing unit and the third pressurizing unit are connected to the fourth line and are applied with the fourth hydraulic pressure; and a control unit which controls the braking force generating unit so as to change a distribution ratio of the pressing force generated by the first pressurizing unit and the pressing force generated by the second pressurizing unit when a brake noise is generated in at least one of the wheels, by controlling each hydraulic pressure applied to the first pressurizing unit and the second pressurizing unit disposed in the independently controlled caliper which is on the side, either one of the right and left sides, where the brake noise is generated.
