Patent ID: 8371662

Claim:
A wheel braking controller of a vehicle comprising: a brake operation member operated by a rider; a master cylinder generating a hydraulic pressure according to an operation force of the brake operation member; wheel braking means braking a wheel based on operation of the brake operation member; a channel switching unit provided between the master cylinder and the wheel braking means, and switching channels of a brake fluid, the channel switching unit having a plurality of electromagnetic valves; a hydraulic pressure generator generating a hydraulic pressure based on operation of the brake operation member and the driving state of the vehicle, and controlling braking of the wheel using the wheel braking means by the hydraulic pressure; and an actuator constituted as an electric motor as a driving source of the hydraulic pressure generator, wherein a braking controller including the channel switching unit and the hydraulic pressure generator are integrally provided on one body, wherein the electric motor has an axis of rotation which is orthogonal to the plurality of valves, and is housed within a width direction of axes of the electromagnetic valves of the channel switching unit, and wherein the plurality of electromagnetic valves of the channel switching unit includes: a first electromagnetic valve opening and closing the channel between the master cylinder and the wheel braking means, and a second electromagnetic valve opening and closing the channel between the hydraulic pressure generator and the wheel braking means, a fluid loss simulator connected to one of the channels for causing a responsive feeling similar to that of a normal brake operation when the brake operations member is operated by the rider, wherein a rotation axis of the actuator is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fluid loss simulator, and the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are mounted in a state that respective axial directions are perpendicular to the rotation axis of the actuator and to the longitudinal axis of the fluid loss simulator.
