Electric brake booster
An electric brake booster for a vehicle brake system includes a push bar configured to be driven by a brake pedal to move forwards in an axial direction; a brake force outputting element configured to be pushed forwards by the push bar to output a brake force from the brake pedal; a booster force outputting element for outputting a booster force; a motor for driving the booster force outputting element to create the booster force; a poppet configured to be pushed forwards in the axial direction by the push bar with a spring force, wherein the poppet forms a boost switch, through which an electrical current can pass, with the brake force outputting element and forms a release switch, through which another electrical current can pass, with the booster force outputting element; and an electronic control unit for controlling the operation of the motor in responsive to the on-off states of the boost switch and the release switch. The electric brake booster is independent of the vacuum degree of the inlet pipe of the vehicle engine and can provide active and precise control to the actions of the booster.
