Abstract:
An electric braking device includes: an electric motor for pressing a friction member against a rotary member that rotates integrally with a vehicle wheel; a lock mechanism for locking rotation of the electric motor and applying a parking brake in accordance with operation on a parking switch; and a control for driving the electric motor and the lock mechanism. The control increases the electricity amount sent to the electric motor when a pressing force is less than a preset lower value at the time the parking switch is switched from off to on, starts actuating the lock mechanism when the pressing force equals or exceeds the lower value, and, when the pressing force is greater than a preset upper value greater than or equal to the lower value, starts actuating the lock mechanism when the pressing force equals or exceeds the upper value.

Claim (Index 1):
An electric braking device for a vehicle, the device comprising:\n an electric motor configured to press a friction member against a rotary member, the rotary member rotating integrally with a vehicle wheel of the vehicle, in accordance with an operation amount of a braking operation member performed by a driver of the vehicle; a lock mechanism configured to actuate a parking brake in the vehicle by locking rotation of the electric motor in accordance with a signal of a parking switch operated by the driver of the vehicle; a pressing force acquiring means configured to acquire a pressing force by which the friction member presses the rotary member; and a control means configured to drive the electric motor and the lock mechanism, wherein in a case where the pressing force is smaller than a preset lower value when the parking switch is switched from off to on, the control means increases an amount of electricity to the electric motor and starts an operation of the lock mechanism when the pressing force becomes equal to or greater than the lower value; and in a case where the pressing force is greater than a preset upper value which is equal to or greater than the lower value when the parking switch is switched from off to on, the control means starts the operation of the lock mechanism when the pressing force becomes equal to or smaller than the upper value.
