Abstract: The return pumps of brake systems with a precharging device are greatly stressed by the precharging pressure and subjected to premature wear. Significant leakage occurs in the long run which will damage the pump motors in the worst case. This is prevented by controlling the pressure fluid supply from the precharging source to the suction side of the return pump as a function of the pressure gradient in this connecting line. To this end, an electromagnetically operated on-off valve (23) with a hydraulically insertable throttle is used.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system with anti-lock control comprises a main cylinder connected to a reservoir, wheel brakes connected to the main cylinder by way of brake lines, and a recirculating pump, a suction side of which is connected to the wheel brakes by way of a first suction line. By way of a second suction line, the pump is connected to a pressure source. To control the pressure medium supply from a precharging device or other pressure source to the suction side of the recirculating pump as a function of the pressure in the second suction line, a hydraulically actuated valve is used. The inlet of the valve is connected to the precharging device via the pressure source, the outlet of the valve is connected to the suction side of the recirculating pump. The output pressure of the valve acts in a valve closing direction such that the valve closes once a pressure on the suction side of the recirculating pump exceeds a certain value.

Abstract: The recirculating pumps of brake systems that are equipped with a precharging device or other pressure sources, the pressure of which at least temporarily reaches the suction side of the recirculating pump, are highly stressed and consequently subjected to premature wear by this pressure. Over time, this results in large leaks which may cause damage to the pump motors. Consequently, the invention proposes to control the pressure medium supply from the precharging device or other pressure source to the suction side of the recirculating pump as a function of the pressure in this connecting line.
