Publication number: 20230021986Abstract: A trailer air supply and control module for a electronic brake system of a motor vehicle with a trailer interface, and a brake system of a motor vehicle with a trailer interface comprising the trailer air supply and control module, includes at least two electrical terminals configured to receive two independent but redundant electrical control input signals which comprise a signal for a preset brake control outlet pressure. At least one valve is configured to adjust a constant air pressure from an air pressure source to the preset brake outlet pressure. One pneumatic outlet terminal is configured to provide the preset brake supply outlet pressure to the pneumatic brake system of the trailer, and one pneumatic outlet terminal is configured to provide the preset brake control outlet pressure to the pneumatic brake system of the trailer. The air pressure source is arranged within the trailer air supply and control module.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2020Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Huba NEMETH, Peter SZELL, Matthias SEIDENSCHWANG

Patent number: 9457786Abstract: A measuring arrangement for brake application force measurement of a disc brake, includes two components of the disc brake which can be displaced relative to each other along a travel path when a brake application force is applied, at least one brake application force sensor with a housing; a measurement object which can be permanently connected to one or the other of the two components and having at least one element or at least one target object which has at least one such element for contact-free interaction with the brake application force measurement sensor; and an evaluation unit. The brake application force sensor is designed for the detection of a displacement of the measurement object along the path with the evaluation unit for the conversion of the detected displacement in a measurement variable as a measurement for the brake application force. The brake application force sensor and the measurement object can be mounted with each of the two components in a removable manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Johann Baumgartner, Alexander Werth, Matthias Seidenschwang

Patent number: 8511439Abstract: A self-energizing disk brake is described. The brake includes an electric actuator in which an activation force is amplified using a self-energizing device arranged between the electric actuator and a brake lining. The system includes a brake application unit for applying the brake lining to a brake disk with an application movement of the brake lining, relative to the brake disk, having a component extending parallel to a rotational axis of the brake disk and another component extending tangentially to the rotational axis of the brake disk. At least one electromotive drive for activating the brake application unit and at least two brake plungers of the brake application unit are provided. Pressure surfaces of the brake plungers have a recess with a ramp shaped contour for engagingly receiving a rolling element.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Johann Baumgartner, Matthias Seidenschwang, Dirk Ganzhorn, Luise Ulrike Bieker nee Rothe

Patent number: 8315771Abstract: A method for controlling a self-energizing disc brake having an electric actuator in which an activation force applied to the actuator is amplified using a self-energizing device arranged between the actuator and brake lining is described. The method has a brake application unit for applying at least one brake lining to one side of a brake disc by carrying out an application movement of the brake lining relative to the brake disc, the application movement having at least a first movement component in a direction parallel to a rotational axis of the brake disc and a second movement component in a direction tangential to the rotational axis of the brake disc. The method includes also controlling at least one electromotive drive for activating the brake application unit. Rotation of the shaft of the electromotive drive is converted to a non-linear displacement of the brake pad in the tangential direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Johann Baumgartner, Matthias Seidenschwang, Ernst Dieter Bieker, Luise Ulrike Bieker nee Rothe, legal representative, Dirk Ganzhorn
