  • Patent number: 11702053
    Abstract: An electropneumatic brake control module (1) has a supply connection (2) for connecting a compressed air supply (3); a first wheel brake connection (4) and a second wheel brake connection (6); a pneumatically controlled inlet-outlet valve unit (8) for controlling a first brake pressure (PB1) at the first wheel brake connection (4) and a second brake pressure (PB2) at the second wheel brake connection (6), which is independent of the first brake pressure (PB1); and an electropneumatic pilot control unit (10) for controlling at least one main control pressure (PH) at a main valve (12) of the inlet-outlet valve unit (10). The main valve (12) of the inlet-outlet valve unit (10) is a pneumatically controllable 3/2-way valve (13) with a main valve control connection (12.4).

  • Patent number: 9637104
    Abstract: A valve apparatus 1 for a pressure-actuated system has a pressure medium input 7 and a pressure medium output 22. A relay valve 8 controls the pressure medium input 7. A pressure-actuatable inlet valve 23 is arranged between the relay valve 8 and the pressure medium output 22. Each pressure medium output 22 includes a pressure-actuatable outlet valve 28 controlling a fluidic connection of the pressure medium output 22 to a purge 16 leading to atmosphere. At least one outlet valve 28 or inlet valve 23 is formed as a diaphragm valve and has a valve diaphragm 29 which lies on a valve seat 30 and opens against the pressure in a purge chamber 31. For each diaphragm valve, an electrically actuatable purge valve 33 controls a fluidic connection of the purge chamber 31 to a purge line controlling the relay valve 8.
