  • Publication number: 20220161773
    Abstract: A connection of a piston-cylinder unit of an power brake pressure generator of an electrohydraulic power vehicle braking system to an unpressurized brake fluid reservoir with the aid of a pressure limiting valve and a controllable valve. The pressure limiting valve prevents pressure spikes in the vehicle braking system if inlet valves of hydraulic wheel brakes of the vehicle braking system are closed during a pressure buildup with the aid of the power brake pressure generator. Brake fluid may be drawn in or discharged from the brake fluid reservoir via the controllable valve during a slip control.

  • Patent number: 11220250
    Abstract: A hydraulic block for a hydraulic power vehicle brake system including a slip control. A bore, which communicates through a circumferential groove with a receptacle of a pedal travel simulator, is run through parallel to a motor side of the hydraulic block between the motor side and a master brake cylinder bore in the hydraulic block and is connected through a transverse bore with a further bore parallel to the motor side, which connects the master brake cylinder bore with a connection for a pressureless brake fluid reservoir, which is attachable to the hydraulic block. The bores form a return of the pedal travel simulator, which has a low resistance to flow and allows for a closed system.

  • Patent number: 11072317
    Abstract: A brake fluid reservoir for a hydraulic brake actuator of vehicles, which is coupled at its lower base to the upper side of the hydraulic module of the hydraulic brake actuator. The reservoir includes at its lower base a mechanical anchor, which fastens it to the hydraulic module and includes a single anchoring point, which is centered at the lower base of the reservoir in the longitudinal direction. The reservoir also includes several connecting nipples, which may be connected to the hydraulic module with the aid of sealing washers, which generate a torque on the reservoir in relation to the mechanical anchor. The reservoir includes a compensation seal, which is situated in a receptacle of its lower base in such a position that it generates an additional torque in relation to the mechanical anchor, which compensates for the torque generated by the plurality of connecting nipples.
