Patent ID: 8688347

Claim:
An electronic brake clearance adjusting apparatus comprising: an electronic brake including a pad and a rotor to generate brake force; a pad moving unit to move the pad; and an electronic brake control unit to determine stoppage or traveling of a vehicle and each adjustment section to adjust a clearance between the pad and the rotor using information collected via sensors mounted in a vehicle, and to control the pad moving unit to adjust the clearance in response to the determined stoppage or traveling result by a preset adjustment distance if a condition of a corresponding clearance adjustment section is satisfied, wherein: the electronic brake includes an engine throttle valve, an engine output sensor, a brake pedal sensor, an accelerator and a wheel velocity sensor, and the electronic brake control unit determines an entry condition during stoppage based on a supply amount of fuel, revolutions per minute of an engine, operation of a brake pedal, acceleration mode, and vehicle velocity, and if the vehicle velocity is a predetermined level or more and the vehicle performs straight traveling, determines the entry condition during traveling by calculating a wheel slip value.
