  • Patent number: 7059688
    Abstract: Electropneumatic control valve for a pneumatic brake system of a vehicle having a relay valve housing in which an axially adjustable control piston is arranged for actuating a valve seat arrangement which switches the compressed-air flow between at least one exterior brake line connection, a supply pressure connection and a bleeder connection. The control piston is axially guided by means of a coaxial guiding arrangement. The guiding arrangement comprises a separate guiding sleeve which is stationarily fastened to the pilot valve housing and which is provided with an upper guiding section which, for the axial guidance, corresponds with a passage bore in the control piston, and which, in addition, has a lower tube section of a smaller outside diameter adjoining the upper guiding section in order to guide the outgoing air flowing through an integrated axial bleeder duct directly to the bleeder connection.

  • Publication number: 20040195913
    Abstract: Electropneumatic control valve for a pneumatic brake system of a vehicle having a relay valve housing (1) in which an axially adjustable control piston (5) is arranged for actuating a valve seat arrangement (8) which switches the compressed-air flow between at least one exterior brake line connection (11), a supply pressure connection as well as a bleeder connection (13), the control piston (5) being axially guided by means of a coaxial guiding arrangement and being capable of being acted upon by way of at least one electromagnetic pilot valve (6) for the axial adjustment, which pilot valve (6) is accommodated in a pilot valve housing (2) connected with the relay valve housing (1), in which case the guiding arrangement of the control piston (5) according to the invention comprises a separate guiding sleeve (17) which is stationarily fastened to the pilot valve housing (2) and which is provided with an upper guiding section (19) which, for the axial guidance, corresponds with a passage bore (18) in the control

  • Patent number: 6079436
    Abstract: The energy supply device has a compressor for supplying at least one compressed air consumer. On the outlet end, the compressor communicates with a pneumatically controllable outlet valve. Furthermore, two pressure regulating valves are provided, with which control air can be conveyed to the outlet valve in order to switch the outlet valve into the outlet position. The first pressure regulating valve can be switched by control electronics in accordance with a pressure sensor that detects the pressure on the consumer end. The second pressure regulating valve can be switched directly by the pressure on the consumer end. The second pressure regulating valve switches at a greater pressure on the consumer end than the first pressure regulating valve. In the event of a failure of the control electronics or of the first pressure regulating valve, the second pressure regulating valve takes its place.
