Patent number: 6715846Abstract: Described is a braking-pressure control system, especially for a road vehicle, having a pneumatic brake booster (14), having a main cylinder (16) in which a main-cylinder pressure (PHZ) can be generated by a pneumatic brake booster (14), and having a hydraulic modulator (17) which is connected between the main cylinder (16) and at least one wheel-brake cylinder (10-13) of at least one wheel; the hydraulic modulator (17) including a configuration of switchable valves (ASV, USV, EV, AV), as well as one pump (25, 25′); and a wheel-brake cylinder pressure (PRZ) being able to be generated in the at least one wheel-brake cylinder (10-13), using the hydraulic modulator; the wheel-brake cylinder pressure being higher than the main-cylinder. pressure (PHZ). The braking-pressure control system is characterized in that the pneumatic brake booster (14) is designed in a manner allowing it to already reach its saturation point (A0, A1) at a main-cylinder pressure (PHZ) of less than 50 bar.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2000Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Pueschel, Herbert Keller

Brake pressure control device and a method for activating and deactivating a hydraulic brake booster
Patent number: 6361126Abstract: A brake pressure control device is described. The device includes a pneumatic brake booster which has at least two chambers that are separable from each other. At least one of the chambers can be operated as a low-pressure chamber and at least another one of the chambers can be oerated as a working chamber. The device further includes a master braking cylinder in which a master cylinder pressure is generated over the pneumatic brake booster, and a hydraulic unit, which is installed between the master cylinder and at least one wheel brake cylinder of at least one wheel. The hydraulic unit includes an arrangement of switchable valves as well as least one pump. A hydraulic boost of the brake pressure is achievable with the assistance of the hydraulic unit. A wheel brake cylinder pressure may be generated in the at least one wheel brake cylinder with the assistance of the hydraulic unit, the wheel brake cylinder pressure being greater than the master cylinder pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Pueschel, Hanniel Schmidt, Helmut Wiss -
Patent number: 6059380Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle hydraulic brake system having a traction control unit and a dynamic driving control unit. To enable building up pressure quickly with a return feed pump, even when the master cylinder is not actuated, a precharge pump, which is mounted on the storage container of the master cylinder and can be made to communicate with the master cylinder through a valve that is mounted in the storage container following the master cylinder. When the master cylinder is not actuated, pressure can be built up in the master cylinder and thus in the vehicle brake system using the precharge pump.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1998Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Pueschel, Guenther Schmidt

Patent number: 5947567Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic vehicle brake system with a master cylinder, with two brake circuits (I, II), with wheel brakes connected to the brake circuits (I, II), and with a wheel slip regulator device disposed between the master cylinder and the wheel brakes, which device has at least one brake pressure modulation valve device and at least one high pressure pump, and with a pump unit associated with this high pressure pump. In the automatic braking operation by means of at least one of the high pressure pumps, the pump unit is used for supplying hydraulic fluid to the high pressure pump. The pump unit has a low pressure pump in the form of a gear pump.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1996Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolf-Dieter Jonner, Helmut Pueschel, Thomas Isella, Karl-Heinz Willmann, Rolf Hummel, Elmar Mueller, Johann Herr, Roland Holzmann, Guenter Dzierzawa, Martin Moehle, Hans-Juergen Herderich

Patent number: 5927824Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic brake system having brake pressure modulation valve assemblies, between a dual-circuit master cylinder and wheel brakes of vehicle wheels. The pump device is embodied as a low-pressure pump with the brake pressure modulation valve assemblies be assigned a first and second return pump and that in the automatic braking mode the first pressure chamber is made to communicate with a first return pump and the second pressure chamber is made to communicate with the second return pump, on the inlet side in both cases. The low-pressure pump, in the automatic braking mode, generates charge pressure for the return pumps that is substantially below a maximum brake pressure, and the return pumps generate the maximum projected brake pressure and serve, in the additionally possible anti-lock mode, to return pressure fluid from the wheel brakes to the master cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1997Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Arnold Pahl, Wolf-Dieter Jonner, Norbert Alaze, Helmut Pueschel, Thomas Isella, Guenther Schmidt, Karl-Heinz Willmann, Rolf Hummel, Elmar Mueller, Johann Herr, Roland Holzmann, Guenter Dzierzawa, Martin Moehle, Guenter Krenz, Erika Mank, Hans-Juergen Herderich

Patent number: 5826950Abstract: During ASR control of spinning drive wheels, the pressure level in the wheel brake with the highest pressure level is modulated by driving a switching valve USV which affects the pressure in all the wheel brakes of the brake circuit, whereas the pressure level in the other wheel brake or brakes is controlled by way of wheel-specific inlet and outlet valves. The intake control valve ASV is kept open through the entire ASR control period. As a result, the electrically actuated ASV can be replaced by a hydraulically actuated ASV.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1996Date of Patent: October 27, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolf-Dieter Jonner, Helmut Pueschel, Guenther Schmidt

Patent number: 5820229Abstract: As part of an automatic drive slip control system, the brake pressure in the wheel brake of a wheel which is starting to slip is built up and released. A valve which brings about the release of pressure in this wheel brake is actuated at timed intervals so as to maintain a desired pressure level during a control phase.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1996Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch, GmbHInventor: Helmut Pueschel

Patent number: 5727854Abstract: When a threshold value is exceeded by the rate of change in the input pressure, an automatic braking operation is initiated. The threshold value becomes lower as the potential for danger increases.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1996Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Pueschel, Helmut Wiss, Manfred Gerdes

Patent number: 5727852Abstract: A device and a method for controlling an ABS antilock braking/ASR traction control system include a return pump, at least one aspirator valve (ASV), and at least one switch-over valve (USV). The return pump, the switch-over valve and/or the aspirator valve are triggered at least in dependence upon one signal which represents the actuation of the brake pedal.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1996Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Pueschel, Guenther Schmidt, Manfred Gerdes

Patent number: 5390994Abstract: A simplified and improved hydraulic brake system has at least one valve arrangement for the brake pressure modulation in a wheel brake. Furthermore, a high-pressure pump is provided to return pressure medium from the wheel brake into a main brake cylinder in the case of an anti-lock control operation or to deliver pressure medium from the main brake cylinder into a wheel brake during drive-slip control operation. A shut-off valve with a spring-actuated through-flow position and a shut-off position, which can be selected by the pressure at the main brake cylinder end, is arranged upstream on the suction side of the high-pressure pump. The hydraulic brake system with anti-lock and drive-slip control device is used in motor vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1993Date of Patent: February 21, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolf-Dieter Jonner, Wolfgang Bernhardt, Helmut Pueschel, Guenther Schmidt
