  • Publication number: 20190344767
    Abstract: An electro-hydraulic power vehicle-brake system for a motor vehicle autonomously driving on public roads. A secondary brake unit is connected to a service brake unit so that in the event of a failure of the service brake unit, the vehicle brake system is able to be actuated using the secondary brake unit. In order to be able to rapidly build up a brake pressure with the aid of the secondary brake unit even with a cold and viscous brake fluid, brake fluid reservoirs are provided that are integrated into the secondary brake unit and are connected by short line lengths to hydraulic pumps of the secondary brake unit.

  • Patent number: 8523295
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic assembly of a vehicle brake system with traction control. Hydraulic assemblies include a housing block, which is to be fitted with hydraulic components, and an electronic control unit for activating the components. It is known for a hydraulic connection for a pressure sensor to be provided on a housing block and for the signal of the pressure sensor to be taken into consideration for brake pressure regulation in the control unit. The invention proposes an advantageous arrangement of at least one second hydraulic connection for a second pressure sensor on the housing block in combination with blind bores of the hydraulic connections. The blind bores can be positioned in a variable fashion and formed with different lengths during the production of the housing block. In this way, it is possible for the pressure in different hydraulic partial regions of a vehicle brake system to be sensed in an application-specific manner.

  • Patent number: 7896448
    Abstract: A method for pre-filling a low-pressure storage device of a motor vehicle braking system, having a changeover valve, a hydraulic pump, an outlet valve, and a low-pressure storage device situated in a suction line of the hydraulic pump. The low-pressure storage device can be pre-filled in a particularly simple and low-noise manner if the actuation of the foot brake pedal is monitored using a sensor mechanism and, when there is an actuation, the changeover valve is closed in order to lock in the braking pressure acting on the wheel brake, and at least one of the outlet valves is opened in order to release the braking pressure into the low-pressure storage device.

  • Publication number: 20100287923
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure accumulator, especially for a hydraulic unit of a hydraulic vehicle braking system with electronic wheel slip regulation. Pressure accumulators having an accumulator piston acted on by a piston spring are known according to prior art. In order to save costs on parts for the piston spring and to save space in terms of the pressure accumulator, a piston spring having at least one first spring winding is used. According to the invention, the outer diameter of the first winding is smaller than the inner diameter of a second spring winding connected thereto.

  • Publication number: 20080191547
    Abstract: A pressure fluid reservoir for a traction-controlled vehicle brake system; a reservoir unit including a plurality of pressure fluid reservoirs; and a method for producing a pressure fluid reservoir are disclosed. The pressure fluid reservoir with its structural size unchanged, has a larger installation space for a restoring element cooperating with a reservoir piston and at the same time can be produced economically. To that end, as the reservoir piston, a component reshaped in non-metal-cutting fashion from a sheet-metal material is proposed, on whose circumference an encompassing receptacle for a piston seal is integrally formed, likewise in non-metal-cutting fashion. The reservoir piston can be produced by deep drawing; the receptacle for the piston seal can be produced by roller-burnishing. Both method steps can be performed economically in one combined operation.
