Patent number: 11511719Abstract: An axle valve module of a compressed air brake system includes a relay valve with a control pressure input connected to a control pressure line which can be connected via a changeover valve alternately to a brake pressure line conducting an introduced brake pressure or to a reservoir pressure line conducting a reservoir pressure. ABS inlet and outlet valves are each formed as a pressure-controlled diaphragm valve with assigned pilot valve, wherein the pilot valves are configured as cyclically controllable 3/2-way magnetic switching valves, A shut-off valve is arranged in the control pressure line of the relay valve, between the changeover valve and the control pressure input of the relay valve or the branch point of a control pressure line of the ABS valves, via which shut-off valve the control pressure present at the control pressure input of the relay valve can be locked in as required.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: WABCO GmbHInventors: Rafal Bialon, Robert Otremba, Detlef Schmidt

Patent number: 11186264Abstract: A pneumatic ABS valve device for a pneumatic brake system of a vehicle comprises a check valve mechanism for enabling a supply air flow from a supply port to a delivery port and blocking an air flow in the reverse direction. The check valve mechanism comprises a quick release insert disposed in an insert chamber, the quick release insert being placeable in a basic position for providing a chamber passage in the insert chamber enabling the supply air flow. The quick release insert is displaceable by an air pressure difference from the basic position into an activated blocking position, in which the chamber passage is at least diminished with respect to its basic position, in order to block an air flow from the supply port to the delivery port and enabling exhaust air flow.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: ZF CV Systems Europe BVInventors: Rafal Bialon, Tomasz Dedich, Wojciech Iwaniec

Patent number: 11117560Abstract: A membrane valve arrangement (1) includes a disc-shaped valve membrane (10) made from an elastic material and a disc (14) having a central opening (15). The valve membrane (10) is arranged with one side on the disc (14) and has a circumferential sealing bead (11) radially outside on the side opposite from the disc. The disc (14) is arranged, along with the valve membrane (10), between a housing upper part (2) and a housing lower part (6) of the membrane valve arrangement (1). The sealing bead (11) is clamped between the housing upper part (2) and the housing lower part (6). The sealing action in the region of the sealing bead is largely independent of tolerances because, on at least one of the housing parts in the region of the sealing bead (11) and/or in the radially outer peripheral region of the disc (14), additional sealing arrangements are present.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: WABCO Europe BVBAInventors: Rafal Bialon, Siegfried Höfler, Andreas Teichmann, Ingo Torhoff

Patent number: 10981551Abstract: A valve unit for modulating pressure in a pneumatic brake system includes an inlet valve and an outlet valve, which are designed as diaphragm valves, and via which a brake pressure outlet can be connected to a brake pressure inlet or a vent outlet or can be shut off relative thereto. The valve unit further includes two pilot valves, designed as 3/2-way solenoid valves, via each of which a control chamber adjoining a diaphragm of an associated diaphragm valve can be supplied with a control pressure via a control pressure line. The diaphragm valves are arranged radially adjacent to each other. The inlet valve and/or the outlet valve is/are each designed as a springless diaphragm valve and in that the associated control pressure line opens, in each case centrally and in an axially oriented manner, into the control chamber of the relevant diaphragm valve.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: WABCO Europe BVBAInventors: Rafal Bialon, Andreas Teichmann, Alexander Wassmann

Patent number: 10471942Abstract: A valve unit for modulating pressure in a compressed-air brake system comprises an inlet valve (6) and an outlet valve (7) configured as diaphragm valves, a brake pressure output (4) configured to be connected to or shut off from a brake pressure input (3) or a vent output (5), two pilot valves (8, 9) configured as 3/2-way solenoid valves, and a respective control chamber (31, 32) adjacent to the diaphragm (17, 18) of the diaphragm valves (6, 7). The diaphragms (17, 18) are each clamped between two housing parts (11, 14; 11?, 14?) via a respective ring bead (22, 23) placed in a housing-side ring groove (20, 21; 20?, 21?). In order to avoid damaging the diaphragms (17, 18), an annular continuous or partially interrupted recess (54) is arranged in the ring groove (20, 21) or immediately adjacent to the ring groove to receive displaced bead material from the diaphragm (17).Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: WABCO Europe BVBAInventors: Rafal Bialon, Andreas Teichmann
