  • Publication number: 20150314760
    Abstract: A hydraulic block for a hydraulic unit is configured to control the brake pressure in a slip-controlled vehicle brake system. Multiple pressure sensors are received in receptors that are defined by the hydraulic block and that are configured to place each of the pressure sensors in hydraulic contact with a respective brake circuit. The pressure sensors are configured to detect wheel brake pressures in the corresponding brake circuits. The hydraulic contact between the pressure sensors and the brake circuits is enabled by a common duct that includes a shut-off element configured to block a pressure medium connection between the brake circuits.

  • Patent number: 9151352
    Abstract: A device for vibration-damping mounting of a vehicle brake system fluid assembly in a receiving opening includes a stay bolt, an elastic damping element in the form of a sleeve through which the stay bolt passes, a clamping sleeve guided by the stay bolt, and a screw element having an internal thread. The stay bolt comprises a connecting pin and a threaded shank having an external thread onto which the screw element can be screwed in order to move the clamping sleeve axially on the stay bolt towards the elastic damping element. The clamping sleeve and the screw element are in the form of a one-piece clamping element having a bearing shoulder, wherein the axial force generated by the clamping element as a result of the screwing-on movement acts via the bearing shoulder on the elastic damping element. A fluid assembly includes at least one such device for vibration-damping mounting.

  • Publication number: 20130319562
    Abstract: A hydraulic block for a hydraulic unit of a slip-controlled hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a row of receptacles for brake pressure buildup valves and a row of receptacles for brake pressure reduction valves arranged parallel to the row of receptacles for the brake pressure buildup valves. The hydraulic block further includes installation spaces for damper chambers arranged between the receptacles for the brake pressure buildup valves and the brake pressure reduction valves to allow space-saving accommodation of damper chambers. The installation spaces emerge at longitudinal sides of the hydraulic block and run parallel to the rows of receptacles for the brake pressure buildup valves and the brake pressure reduction valves. The installation spaces for the damper chambers viewed from a front side are arranged below the receptacles for the brake pressure buildup valves and the brake pressure reduction valves, close to a rear side of the hydraulic block.

  • 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: 8359852
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic unit of a vehicle hydraulic brake system having a hydraulic block, a storage unit, and a holding unit. The storage unit is inserted into the hydraulic block, and the holding unit is adjusted for holding the hydraulic block locally fixed to an associated vehicle. The storage unit is constructed with a holding surface which forms a section of the outer side of the hydraulic unit, and the holding unit engages with the holding surface of the storage unit in order to hold the hydraulic block locally fixed above the storage unit. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a storage unit where one outer surface of the storage unit which forms an outer side of the hydraulic unit is constructed as a holding surface for attaching the hydraulic block in the vehicle.
