  • Patent number: 9994206
    Abstract: A screw drive for an electromechanical brake booster of a braking system of a motor vehicle includes: a threaded nut; and a threaded spindle engaged with the threaded nut. The threaded nut includes an outer section which is connectable to a drive unit for driving the threaded nut, and an inner section having a thread for accommodating the threaded spindle. The inner section and the outer section of the threaded nut are connected by a damping unit for damping the torsion of the threaded nut.

  • Patent number: 9266508
    Abstract: The system includes a high-pressure accumulator connected to the primary chamber of the master cylinder and to the inlet of the ESP module by a solenoid valve. The connection between the primary chamber and the brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a solenoid valve. A control circuit controls the solenoid valve of the reservoir and the solenoid valve of the accumulator, depending on the braking method selected or imposed. The dynamic braking phase is broken down into two tasks, one with energy recovery that involves isolating the master cylinder from the wheel brakes until deceleration to a threshold speed, followed by another step until full stop that involves connecting the primary chamber alone to the high-pressure accumulator and to the ESP module to provide the latter with pressurized brake fluid from the accumulator and supply the wheel brakes for mechanical braking.

  • Publication number: 20150308527
    Abstract: A transmission device, for example of an electromotive brake booster, includes a first worm gear and a first pinion connected to each other and rotatable about a shared first rotation axis, a second worm gear and a second pinion connected to each other and rotatable about a shared second rotation axis, a worm shaft that can be set into rotation by an electric motor and that is contacted by the first and second worm gears, a piston that is adjustable along an adjustment axis by rotations of the first pinion about the first rotation axis and the second pinion about the second rotation axis and that is guided in a floating manner to be adjustable perpendicularly to the adjustment axis by a floating travel of at least 0.6 mm.

  • Patent number: 9139186
    Abstract: An electromechanical brake booster is disclosed. The brake booster is constructed with two worm gears which run in opposite directions and whose axial forces compensate one another. The worm gears drive toothed rack gears which convert a rotational driving movement into a translatory output movement for activating a master brake cylinder. As a result of the provision of two gear paths, the loading of each gear path is halved and an application of force to a booster body, which forms a gear output, is symmetrical.

  • Patent number: 8870300
    Abstract: A method for actuating a hydraulic vehicle brake system, includes a master brake cylinder with a preferably electromechanical brake booster and a wheel slip control device. The master brake cylinder is actuated simultaneously with the brake booster, and hydraulic pumps of the wheel slip control device are driven by an electric motor. Pressure builds more quickly in the wheel brakes of the vehicle brake system for safety and assistance functions that require high pressure build-up dynamic. The method also increases the wheel brake pressure using the pressure that can be generated by actuating the master brake cylinder with the brake booster.
