Abstract

A hydraulic pressure control device is proposed in which using a proportional pressure control valve having a built-in spool valve, the hydraulic pressure for wheel brakes is adjusted to a value corresponding to the magnitude of an external force applied to the spool valve, non-electrical pressure adjustment can be done both in a normal state and in an emergency, and the structure is simplified. The brake pedal is coupled through a spring to the spool valve of the proportional pressure control valve having a solenoid for generating a spool-driving force, and the brake pedal force is applied to the spool valve as an external force so that not only in an emergency but in a normal state, pressure is adjusted by the brake pedal force.
