  • Patent number: 11912257
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a driving dynamics control unit for influencing the braking of wheels of a motor vehicle. The driving dynamics control device having a pump, which includes at least two pump elements for the supply of brake fluid, and an electric motor, which includes a rotor and a stator for driving the pump elements. The method includes the following steps: detecting the position of the rotor relative to the stator, and adjusting an ideal position of the rotor relative to the stator, the sum of the torques for moving the pump elements lying below a predefined torque limit value, in particular being minimal, in the ideal position.

  • Patent number: 11884254
    Abstract: A vehicle brake system and method for increasing the brake pressure in a first wheel brake cylinder and for limiting the brake pressure in a second wheel brake cylinder of a vehicle brake system. The method includes increasing a first brake pressure in the first wheel brake cylinder by controlling/holding a wheel inlet valve in its open state and controlling/holding a first wheel outlet valve in its closed state, and limiting an increase of a second brake pressure in the second wheel brake cylinder during the transfer of brake fluid into the first wheel brake cylinder by controlling/holding a second wheel inlet valve in its closed state and controlling a second wheel outlet valve into its open state. The second wheel outlet valve is controlled with a pulse width-modulated signal so that during the transfer of brake fluid, the second wheel outlet valve is permanently in its open state.

  • Patent number: 10843671
    Abstract: A drilling tool, in particular a rock drilling tool, for a portable machine tool, includes a drill head, in particular a hard metal drill head. The drill head includes a drill shaft connected, in particular integrally with the drill head, and a rotational axis. The drill shaft is configured as one piece, has a guide section with guide groove winding in a spiral-shaped about the drill shaft for transporting away drilling dust, and has a securing section provided for detachably securing the drilling tool to a machine tool. The guide section has a diameter reinforcement at a drill head support region of the guide section neighboring, in particular adjacent to, the drill head.

  • Patent number: 9630604
    Abstract: A method for operating a brake system for a vehicle, the brake system including a master brake cylinder coupled to an electromechanical brake booster having a booster body. The method involves: From an initial position, displacing the booster body relative to the master brake cylinder by an adjusting travel in the direction towards the master brake cylinder into an end position; from the end position, displacing the booster body relative to the master brake cylinder by the same adjusting travel in an opposite direction away from the master brake cylinder back into the initial position; during the step of displacing the booster body from the end position back into the initial position, sucking hydraulic fluid from wheel brake devices that coupled in a fluid manner with the brake system and assigned to wheels of the vehicle, for the reduction of a hydraulic fluid pressure existing in the wheel brake devices.

  • Patent number: 9566866
    Abstract: A control device for a vehicle regenerative braking system, having an engine control device, with which a setpoint engine braking torque variable for a setpoint engine braking torque to be imparted by an electric motor, useable in generator mode, is defineable, considering a setpoint overall braking torque variable for a predefined setpoint overall braking torque, and considering an actual friction braking torque variable for an imparted/impartable actual friction braking torque of at least one additional friction brake, wherein if the setpoint variable is below a threshold, the setpoint variable is defineable according to a difference between the setpoint overall braking torque to be imparted and the imparted/impartable braking torque, and if the setpoint variable is above the threshold, the setpoint variable is defineable according to a sum of a predefined additional braking torque and the difference. Also described are a regenerative braking system and method.
