  • Patent number: 11608044
    Abstract: A cuboidal hydraulic block of a hydraulic power unit of a slip-controlled power vehicle braking system includes a power cylinder borehole, a receptacle for a pedal travel simulator in parallel to the power cylinder borehole, perpendicularly through two large sides of the hydraulic block, and perpendicularly to a master brake cylinder borehole. The master brake cylinder borehole extends, in parallel to an upper transverse side, from one longitudinal side of the hydraulic block to an opposite longitudinal side of the hydraulic block. In an intended installation and usage position, an electrical plug connection is situated beneath a lower transverse side of the hydraulic block.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220258710
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic power brake system for a motor vehicle traveling autonomously. An auxiliary brake unit is connected to a service brake unit in such a manner, that in the event of failure of the service brake unit, the vehicle brake system may be operated by the auxiliary brake unit. In order to be able to build up a brake pressure rapidly, using the auxiliary brake unit, in the case of cold and viscous brake fluid, as well, check valves, via which hydraulic pumps of the auxiliary brake unit are connected to a brake fluid reservoir of the service brake unit, are provided in the service brake unit.

  • Patent number: 11396278
    Abstract: A hydraulic block of a slip regulation system of a hydraulic external force vehicle brake system that has a master brake cylinder bore and forms a master brake cylinder. In order to prevent a hard impact of a master brake cylinder piston on an end stop when the master brake cylinder is released, in particular when there is a sudden release, for example when the driver's foot slips off the brake pedal, the present invention provides a hydraulic return flow damper that is integrated in the master brake cylinder piston.

  • Publication number: 20220203948
    Abstract: A pedal travel simulator for a hydraulic powered vehicle braking system. In order to realize a “jump-in,” a first piston spring is provided that, after a first displacement path, loads a simulator piston of the pedal travel simulator with a spring force that is higher by a multiple than that of a second piston spring that loads the simulator piston during the first displacement path.

  • 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.
