  • Publication number: 20240123963
    Abstract: An electrohydraulic braking method for mobile working machines, in particular agricultural machines, is disclosed. The method is designed to detect external signals and to transmit them to a control unit, in which the signals are processed and based on which at least one target braking pressure is determined. In a next step, a valve flow is calculated on the basis of the target brake pressures, which valve flow is transmitted to a control valve of a brake actuation pedal, resulting in a braking pressure in a hydraulic circuit of the agricultural machine and the adjustment of brake steering. The disclosure further relates to a brake function arrangement designed to perform the electrohydraulic braking method.

  • Patent number: 10286890
    Abstract: A wake-up device for a brake system component of a vehicle includes a magnet that is arranged to be set, via a transmission device, in rotational motion jointly with a shifting of a driver brake force transmission component, thereby effecting a relative motion between the magnet and an electrical conductor. The relative motion induces an induction voltage. An output device outputs the induction voltage or a wake-up signal generated based on the induction voltage to the brake system component, thereby controlling the brake system component to transition from a first energy use mode to a second energy use mode. A method includes controlling the brake system component to transition from the first energy use mode to the second energy use mode by outputting the induction voltage or wake-up signal generated as described above.

  • Patent number: 9227677
    Abstract: An underbody trim for the rear-end region of a motor vehicle conceals a rear exhaust muffler. For the purposes of cooling the rear exhaust muffler, an air inlet is provided in the underbody trim. The air inlet is arranged in a region in which, while the motor vehicle is traveling, a pressure is higher at the underside of the underbody trim than the region of the floor panel arranged thereabove. Cooling ambient air is thus conducted into the region of the rear exhaust muffler with low flow losses.
