  • Patent number: 11951957
    Abstract: A vehicle brake device component, which has a first connection element including a sealing edge and a second connection element including a sealing surface, the sealing edge being placed tightly against the sealing surface in an initial position prior to a temperature change, and at least one of the two connection elements undergoes a change in size during the temperature change, in the process of which the sealing edge is displaced into an end position relative to the sealing surface, the sealing surface being developed in such a way that the sealing edge is placed tightly against it also in the end position.

  • Patent number: 11215287
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly, particularly for supplying a brake circuit of a vehicle brake system with fluid at brake pressure, includes a throttle element, which in the unpressurized state rests with an upper side on a first support and with an underside on a second support, the supports being formed on opposite sides of the gap. The throttle device advantageously dispenses with a spring element for axial pre-tensioning, is accordingly of compact and cost-effective construction and is moreover easy to assemble.

  • Patent number: 11203330
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular a hydraulic unit for a slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, and a damping device. The pump has an intake side and a delivery side. The housing block has a pump receptacle that holds the pump, a first fluid duct that intersects the pump receptacle in a region of the delivery side of the pump, and a second fluid duct opening into the pump receptacle in the region of the delivery side of the pump, and a first separation point that seals off the first fluid duct from the second fluid duct. The damping device damps pulsations and reduces operating noise of the hydraulic unit without (i) having a detrimental effect on functional characteristics of the unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without (ii) jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.

  • Patent number: 11110904
    Abstract: A solenoid valve, in particular for controlling a brake pressure of a wheel brake of a motor vehicle, includes a pole core, an axially moveably mounted armature, a valve element, a closure element, a plunger, and a pressure spring. One end of the armature is associated with the pole core. The valve sealing element is arranged at another end of the armature. The armature has an axial through-opening. The closure element is force-lockingly and/or interlockingly retained in the axial through-opening in a selectable position. The plunger is axially moveably mounted in the axial through-opening, which provides a connection to the pole core in an installation position. The pressure spring is positioned in the axial through-opening and is retained in a pretensioned manner between the plunger and the closure element. The closure element is designed as a three-dimensionally convex element.

  • Patent number: 10895330
    Abstract: A valve armature for a solenoid valve has a basic body consisting of a magnetically conductive metal. On one end of the basic body is arranged a depression which receives a tappet having a closing element. A tappet basic body consists of plastic and forms an interference fit with the basic body. A valve cartridge for a solenoid valve has such a valve armature, in which case, the basic body has an annular groove which is connected to the depression. The annular groove receives plastic deformations of the tappet basic body which form a form fit with the annular groove and fix the tappet basic body in the depression.

  • Patent number: 10730496
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular for a controllable-slip vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, a first fluid duct, and a second fluid duct. The housing block defines a pump receptacle that receives the pump, which has a suction side and a pressure side. The first duct crosses the pump receptacle in a region of the pressure side of the pump. The second duct leads into the pump receptacle in the region of the pressure side. The first and second ducts are sealed off from each over via a separation point. The hydraulic unit is configured to enable contact with a damping device configured to damp pulsations and reduce operating noise of the hydraulic unit without negatively impacting functional properties of the hydraulic unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.

  • Patent number: 10598295
    Abstract: A valve rotor for a solenoid valve includes a base body and a ram that cooperates with a valve seat. A damping device is arranged between the ram and the base body. The damping device has a cavity that is configured to be filled with a damping medium and a choke opening through which the damping medium flows into or out of the cavity. The damping device damps a pulse that occurs when the ram hits the valve seat. A valve cartridge includes the valve rotor.
