  • Patent number: 11192535
    Abstract: A driver circuit for driving a brake having a first orifice adapted to be connected to a pressure source, a second orifice connected to a reservoir, a third orifice receiving a braking setpoint, and a fourth orifice connected to a brake. The driver circuit includes a proportional solenoid valve connected to the first orifice; an on/off solenoid valve connected to the third orifice; and a proportional braking valve provided with an actuator and configured in such a manner as to connect a brake selectively to a pressure source or to a reservoir. The actuator is configured in such a manner as to be driven by the higher of the two pressures delivered by the proportional solenoid valve and delivered by the on/off solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10315635
    Abstract: A braking circuit including at least an auxiliary right valve (200) and an auxiliary left valve (300) suitable to allow braking on both sides, right and left of a vehicle, when this is required, but allowing to apply a pressure braking only on one of the two sides, right or left, when this is required to provide a steering function, characterized in that the circuit further comprises a master valve (400) having two positions: a first position when the vehicle has a velocity under a threshold wherein separate and selective right or left braking is authorized and a second position when the vehicle has a velocity above said threshold wherein said master valve (400) connects both a right braking line (204, 1205) and a left braking line (304, 1305) to an output braking line (110) so that if a braking is requested both right braking line (204, 1204) and left braking line (304, 1305) are under pressure and selective right or left braking is forbidden.
