  • Patent number: 11215287
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly, particularly for supplying a brake circuit of a vehicle brake system with fluid at brake pressure, includes a throttle element, which in the unpressurized state rests with an upper side on a first support and with an underside on a second support, the supports being formed on opposite sides of the gap. The throttle device advantageously dispenses with a spring element for axial pre-tensioning, is accordingly of compact and cost-effective construction and is moreover easy to assemble.

  • Patent number: 11203330
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular a hydraulic unit for a slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, and a damping device. The pump has an intake side and a delivery side. The housing block has a pump receptacle that holds the pump, a first fluid duct that intersects the pump receptacle in a region of the delivery side of the pump, and a second fluid duct opening into the pump receptacle in the region of the delivery side of the pump, and a first separation point that seals off the first fluid duct from the second fluid duct. The damping device damps pulsations and reduces operating noise of the hydraulic unit without (i) having a detrimental effect on functional characteristics of the unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without (ii) jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.

  • Publication number: 20210229647
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit of a traction control system of a hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a hydraulic block and an electric motor that is arranged on the hydraulic block and configured to drive hydraulic pumps of the traction control system. The hydraulic block has a valve side that faces away from the electric motor. Solenoid valves, an electronic control unit and electrical plug contacts in a multiple electrical connector are arranged on the valve side. In order to prevent any liquid that has leaked from the electric motor from reaching the valve side, a hollow shaft, through which connection lines of the electric motor are fed, is sealed in a through-hole, which runs from the electric motor to the valve side facing away, by a sealing ring that consists of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber that swells upon contact with brake fluid.

  • Patent number: 10730496
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular for a controllable-slip vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, a first fluid duct, and a second fluid duct. The housing block defines a pump receptacle that receives the pump, which has a suction side and a pressure side. The first duct crosses the pump receptacle in a region of the pressure side of the pump. The second duct leads into the pump receptacle in the region of the pressure side. The first and second ducts are sealed off from each over via a separation point. The hydraulic unit is configured to enable contact with a damping device configured to damp pulsations and reduce operating noise of the hydraulic unit without negatively impacting functional properties of the hydraulic unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.

  • Patent number: 10641296
    Abstract: An accumulator piston, in particular a piston for a pressure medium accumulator of a hydraulic unit of an electronically slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes a cylindrical piston shaft, and a piston head covering the piston shaft. The piston head includes a circumferentially closed blind-hole-shaped recess having an opening. A cross section of the recess in a region of the opening has at least one smaller dimension than a cross section in a region of a base of the recess opposite the opening.

  • Patent number: 10385833
    Abstract: A reciprocating pump, in particular a hydraulic pump of a slip-controlled vehicle braking system, includes a step piston, a differential pressure valve, and a pump outlet. The step piston includes a piston step that delimits a stepped space which is in communication with the pump outlet via the differential pressure valve.
