  • Publication number: 20240166174
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for an actuation device of a motor vehicle is disclosed which has a force transfer element and which can be assigned or is assigned in particular to an actuating surface of the actuation device for transferring an actuating force applied to the actuation device, in particular on the actuating surface. The sensor arrangement further has a measuring head arranged in a printed circuit board. The measuring head has a measuring membrane. The measuring membrane has a force sensor element at one end and is assigned to the force transfer element at the other end, in particular abutting the force transfer element.

  • Patent number: 11945422
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for a brake booster includes a housing that receives a pressure sensor element and which has a first fluid connection, via which the pressure sensor can be connected to the brake booster. The housing has a second fluid connection with a receiving opening which at least partly receives a flow valve and a connection socket for a vacuum pump, wherein the flow valve releases the flow of fluid in the direction of the vacuum pump and blocks the flow of fluid in the opposite direction. The flow valve is designed as a membrane insert and is inserted into the receiving opening.

  • Patent number: 11447117
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for a vehicle includes a housing, in which at least one sensor unit is arranged. The at least one sensor unit determines a pressure difference between a pressure at a measurement connection point and atmospheric pressure. The at least one sensor unit senses the atmospheric pressure at at least two reference pressure bores. The disclosure further relates to a braking system for a vehicle, having at least one such pressure sensor. A sensor dewatering means comprises a connection channel, which connects the at least two reference pressure bores to each other.

  • Patent number: 11397122
    Abstract: A pressure sensor module detects a fluid pressure on the basis of a differential pressure between a reference pressure and the fluid pressure, and includes: a housing; a sensor element that can contact each of the reference pressure and the fluid pressure; a support member that supports the sensor element and is held in the housing; a first pressure passage that guides the fluid pressure to a first contact surface of the sensor element; and a second pressure passage that is sealed from the first pressure passage and guides the reference pressure to a second contact surface of the sensor element.
