Abstract: An anti-lock hydraulic brake system is described wherein a throttle valve has a restrictive flow condition which becomes effective in the brake line in the event of brake slip control. Pumps for reapply pressure deliver fluid to the wheel brake via this restriction and regulating the pressure in the wheel brake is performed by control of an outlet valve. The throttle valve is operated hydraulically by various arrangements including the application of pump pressure, or by wheel brake pressure applied upon opening of the outlet valve at the start of an anti-lock control cycle.

Abstract: In a hydraulic brake system for automotive vehicles with an electronically controlled brake force distribution and with anti-lock control, the rear-wheel brakes are connected via inlet valves (5, 7) closed in their inactive position. Placed in parallel to these valves is an arrangement (13, 14; 13', 14') which is substantially composed of the series connection of a brake force regulator (17, 18, 17', 18') with a throttle (15, 16) or a multiple-way valve (21, 22) which is open in its inactive position.

Abstract: An anti-lock hydraulic brake system is described having a bypass line to a pump used to evacuate and pressurize the wheel brakes during antilock control. A pressure control valve in the bypass line regulates the pressure in the pressure line to the master cylinder pressure level. A low pressure accumulator absorbs recirculated fluid flow from the bypass line. A pressure operated valve opens only when a difference in pressure between the master cylinder pressure and the pump outlet pressure line pressure develops. The consequence is that a non-return valve a and pressure operated valve in combination bring about isolation of the master cylinder during antilock control to prevent brake pedal reaction to pump pressure developed during a braking pressure control operation. When the accumulator is fully charged, the bypass line is closed by means of a shut-off valve operated by an accumulator piston so that the pump delivers fluid via the pressure valve (18) back into the master cylinder (1).

Abstract: An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control comprising a pedal-actuated, auxiliary-force-assisted braking pressure generator (1) having a master cylinder (2), to which the wheel brakes (31, 32, 33, 34) are connected by way of main brake lines (62, 63) of auxiliary-pressure hydraulic pumps (21, 26), and of wheel sensors (S1, S2, S3, S4) and electronic circuits (28) for determining the wheel rotational behavior and for generating electric braking-pressure control signals. For the purpose of brake slip control, the signals control electromagnetically actuatable pressure-fluid inlet valves (24, 25, 29, 30) and outlet valves (22, 23, 35, 36) inserted into the pressure-fluid lines. The pistons (6, 7) of the master cylinder (2) are furnished with central control valves (10, 11) and the brake lines (62, 63) communicate with the motively driven pumps (21, 26) by way of supply lines (45, 46) in which non-return valves (38, 39) are arranged.

Abstract: An anti-lock controlled/traction-slip controlled brake system operating according to the return delivery principle. A charging circuit is provided for charging an accumulator (20). In order to charge the accumulator, valves (21, 22 and 15) are switched over, thereby establishing a pressure fluid connection between the master brake cylinder as well as the regulating valves (11, 15) by way of the pump (14) to the accumulator (20). The pump delivers fluid out of the supply reservoir (4) connected with the master brake cylinder into the accumulator (20). Since the connection between the master brake cylinder (1) and the wheel brakes remains open when the accumulator is charged, a braking operation is immediately possible even during the charging operation.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for monitoring and controlling an anti-locking automotive brake system comprising a tandem master cylinder and an auxiliary pressure source, from which, in the event of anti-lock regulation, pressure fluid is supplied to the working chambers of the master cylinder. Auxiliary pressure regulation is performed with the aid of central valves and the auxiliary pressure source is turned on and off in response to the advance of the primary piston, a maximum distance being preset between the primary and the secondary piston. Once this space is exceeded, the central valve disposed in the primary piston, opens resulting in another advance of the primary piston and a switch-on of the auxiliary pressure source. If the primary piston after the auxiliary pressure source having been turned on, is not restored within the predetermined time interval, an error signal will be generated.

Abstract: An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control includes a pedal-actuated, auxiliary-force-assisted braking pressure generator having a master cylinder to which the wheel brakes are connected by main brake lines, auxiliary-pressure hydraulic pumps, wheel sensors and electronic circuits for determining the wheel rotational behavior and for generating electric braking-pressure control signals which, for the purpose of brake slip control, serve to control electromagnetically actuatable pressure-fluid inlet valves and outlet valves provided in the pressure-fluid lines. Pistons of the master cylinder include central control valves which, in the brake's release position, open pressure-fluid connections between the pressure-fluid supply reservior and the pressure chambers and which, in the braking position, close the pressure-fluid connections. The brake lines communicate through supply lines with the pumps.

A pressure compensation reservoir and an auxiliary pressure supply system are connected to the working chambers via a control valve. The inlet valves of the driven wheels and the auxiliary pressure supply system are connected to the working chambers of the master cylinder via multi-directional valves which are open in the rest position and which can be changed over during traction slip control. The inlet valves of the non-driven wheels directly communicate with the working chambers. In the traction slip control phase, the auxiliary pressure is limited to a maximum pressure required by means of a pressure relief valve.

Abstract: An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control is disclosed. The system is the type including a pedal activated, auxilary force assisted braking pressure generator having two brake circuits. Each circuit supplies electromechanical valves controlled by an electronic controller in response to wheel behavior to increase and decrease brake pressure so as to control brake action and prevent wheel lock up. A normally closed valve is provided in at least one of two supply lines from an auxiliary pump and accumulator to the wheel brake inlet valve for controlling traction slip. A portion of the supply line which interconnects the pump and the valve communicates with one of the two main brake lines through a short-circuit line including a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve permits delivery of pressure fluid into the main brake line above a nominal pressure and prevents flow in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A brake system for vehicles with electronic anti-lock control and traction slip control is equipped with a dual-circuit braking pressure generator (1) with preferably diagonal brake-circuit allotment. In the control phases, an auxiliary-pressure supply system (5), instead of the braking pressure generator (1), is hydraulically connected to the wheel brakes. Each brake circuit (I, II) contains, in the pressure-fluid conduits from the braking pressure generator to the wheel brakes, one joint multi-directional control valve (10, 11) and, connected in series thereto, individual wheel multi-directional control valves (12 to 15) which are likewise open in their inoperative position. In lieu of the braking pressure generator, the auxiliary-pressure supply system (5)--which generates pressure proportional to the pedal force during anti-lock control, while it generates uncontrolled pressure during traction slip control--is connected to the wheel brakes during the control phases.

A first valve switchable from a locking position into a passage position is switched into a pressure fluid conduit leading from the auxiliary pressure source to the wheel brakes of the one motor vehicle axle, and a second valve is switched into the brake conduit connecting the wheel brakes of the said motor vehicle axle to the brake valve. The said second valve can switch over from a passage position into a locking position. Moreover, a check valve is provided in the line section connecting the first valve to the wheel brakes of the one motor vehicle axle, with the said check valve precluding a flow back of pressure from the wheel brakes to the first valve.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling a slip-controlled brake system wherein the wheel rotational behavior is ascertained and wherein, on detection of a tendency to lock, the braking pressure in the wheel brakes is kept constant or varied temporarily. The slip control of the front wheels is deactivated on the occurrence of a malfunction of the slip control unit which would result in locking or an inadmissible strong tendency to lock of a first rear wheel and deactivating or maintaining the slip control of the front wheels as a function of the wheel rotational behavior of the second rear wheel.

Abstract: An anti-lock hydraulic brake system with a hydraulic brake power booster (3) and two static brake circuits (I, II) is provided. Connected to one brake circuit (I) are the two rear wheels (HR, HL), while to the other the two front wheels (VR, VL) are connected by way of multi-directional control valve (11 to 16) which sever for the braking pressure modulation and/or the slip control. In the event of slip control, controlled dynamic pressure out of an auxiliary-pressure supply system (4, 5) is introduced by way of the brake power booster (3) into the static brake circuits (I, II) through the intermediary of two hydraulically isolated circuits with main valves (31, 32) which are independent of each other. A positioning device (42) for limiting the pedal travel communicates hydraulically with the main valve (31) of the rear wheel brake circuit (I). The main valve (31) controlling the dynamic fluid flow into the rear wheel brake circuit is equipped with an additional pressure monitoring switch (35).

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the pressure of an auxiliary energy source (10, 11, 12) of a slip-controlled brake system for motor vehicles comprises at least two switches responding when falling below a pressure limit value(p.sub.1), releasing warning signals and influencing the function of the brake slip control. Through logical operation of the switch functions, failure of a switch (ws1, ws2) will be detected and an error signal derivable therefrom resulting in the partial shut-down or cut-off of the control. The monitoring circuit responds to two different pressure limit values (p.sub.o, p.sub.u). The brake system is partially shut down or cut off by measuring the interval (.DELTA.T) between the response to the upper and lower pressure limit threshold (p.sub.o and p.sub.u, respectively), locking and then switching on the master valves (21, 22), detecting the reaction on turning on again the master valves etc., and by logical operation of the signals.

Abstract: A brake system with slip control comprises a conventional braking pressure generator (1), for example a master cylinder (2) with a vacuum-type booster (3) connected before it. An auxiliary pressure control valve (23) is provided whose control inlet port (21) is connected with a pressure chamber (9) of the master cylinder. As the slip control action starts, a hydraulic pump (26) is put into operation which causes an auxiliary pressure proportional to the pedal force to be built up by means of the control valve (23). The auxiliary pressure causes hydraulically actuatable valve arrangements (27, 28, 45, 46) to be switched over and thus the auxiliary pressure supply system (23, 26) instead of the master cylinder (2) to be connected with the wheel brakes (31 to 34). Simultaneously, the brake circuits (I, II) of the master cylinder are cut off and thus a further displacement of the master cylinder pistons (6, 7) is prevented.
