  • Publication number: 20230192047
    Abstract: A cuboidal housing block, particularly for a hydraulic modulator to generate, control or regulate a hydraulic pressure in a brake circuit of an electronically controllable power-brake system. Housing blocks have, inter alia, a mounting side which is provided for mounting an electronic control unit. To save on weight and material, a recess is provided on one long side of the housing block, the recess being in the form of a groove that is closed on the sides and otherwise open toward the surroundings of the housing block. The recess is bounded lengthwise by bars, an outer flank of these bars transitioning seamlessly into the mounting side and enlarging its area.

  • Publication number: 20230166706
    Abstract: A pump assembly for generating pressure in a brake circuit of a controllable power brake system of a motor vehicle. The pump assembly has, as a pressure generator, a piston-cylinder unit in which a piston is actuated with the aid of a piston drive. The piston drive converts a rotational movement, with which a nut of this piston drive is driven, into a translatory movement of a spindle, which is in turn connected to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner. The piston is a steel component in which a plastic deformation at a piston head forms a device for connecting the spindle to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner.

  • Publication number: 20230133986
    Abstract: A brake actuating device of a vehicle brake system has a pump housing which has a housing opening surrounded by a wall. The housing opening includes a housing axis along which a piston is to be accommodated in the housing opening in an axially displaceable manner. The housing opening further has a guide region in which a guide element to be arranged between the wall and the piston is to be accommodated. The brake actuating device further has a projection projecting from the wall into the housing opening. The projection is provided axially next to the guide region in the housing opening. The guide element is placed axially on the projection.

  • Patent number: 11639161
    Abstract: A pedal-travel simulator of a hydraulic power vehicle brake system is connected to a brake-fluid reservoir by way of a groove between two piston seals of a power brake-pressure generator. Any air bubbles in the brake fluid get out of the pedal-travel simulator into the brake-fluid reservoir, and the piston seals are lubricated with the brake fluid.

  • Publication number: 20230072396
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit for an electronically slip-controllable power brake system of a motor vehicle. A cuboidal housing block is equipped with components for generating a braking pressure and for open- or closed-loop control thereof. On a motor side of the housing block, a motor is fastened to drive a braking pressure generator, while on a reservoir side, a reservoir is provided to supply the vehicle brake system with a pressure medium. The reservoir has at least one protruding fastening peg, which projects into a recess open to the outside on the housing block. Using a retaining pin inserted into a transverse bore of the housing block and passing through this recess, the reservoir is anchored to the housing block. The transverse bore, open on the motor side of the housing block, is in a flat portion in which a pin head of the retaining pin lies without the pin head protruding axially beyond a motor side of the housing block.

  • Publication number: 20230030643
    Abstract: A non-return valve having a valve opening spring is positioned between an unpressurized brake fluid reservoir and a brake master cylinder of a hydraulic vehicle power brake system having an externally-powered brake pressure generator. The non-return valve allows for a flow-through in the direction of the brake master cylinder and blocking against a return flow from the brake master cylinder into the brake fluid reservoir starting at a counterpressure in the brake master cylinder specified by the valve opening spring.
