Patent number: 9726565Abstract: A support unit for a circuit board in a sensor unit comprises a main body that defines an outer contour and includes a first joining geometry and a second joining geometry. The first joining geometry is configured to at least one of guide and electrically contact external contact elements, and includes contact receiving pockets configured to guide the external contact elements, and at least one reinforcement web that separates two adjacent contact receiving pockets. The second joining geometry is configured to join the support unit to the circuit board. The first joining geometry defines at least in part an external interface via which at least one electrical output signal of the circuit board is tapped.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Stefan Lehenberger, Dmitriy Aranovich, Robert Hengler, Christian Pfleger, Philip Martin Lenk, Peter Diesel

Patent number: 9638599Abstract: A circuit carrier for a sensor unit comprises a first interface via which at least one electrical output signal is tapped at least at one connection point of a measuring cell, a second interface via which the at least one electrical output signal of the measuring cell is applied via at least one first contact element to a circuit board with an electronic circuit, and a hollow, cylindrical main body. The main body includes an inner joining geometry defined on an inner contour which defines at least in part the first interface, an outer joining geometry which defines at least in part the second interface, and configured to electrically connect to a connection point of the measuring cell in a force-free manner. The outer joining geometry is configured as a receiving pocket with a protruding collar, and includes the at least one first contact element.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Stefan Lehenberger, Dmitriy Aranovich, Robert Hengler, Christian Pfleger, Philip Martin Lenk, Peter Diesel

Patent number: 9140621Abstract: An arrangement for the direct contacting of contact mechanism has a first contact mechanism arranged on a contact carrier and a second contact mechanism. The second contact mechanism acts with a predetermined contact force on the first contact mechanism. The contact carrier includes a plastic injection premolding of galvanizable plastic and a nongalvanizable plastic. The galvanizable plastic has a predetermined resilient behavior and the first contact mechanism is formed by a metal layer having predetermined dimensions. The first contact mechanism can be applied onto the galvanizable plastic in a galvanic process. The resilient behavior of the galvanizable plastic and the dimensions of the metal layer form, under the predetermined contact force, a microdepression configured to guide the second contact mechanism in the first contact mechanism. A corresponding connection device for a pressure measurement cell includes such a direct contacting arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Hartmut Rohde, Stefan Lehenberger, Robert Hengler, Dmitriy Aranovich, Christian Pfleger, Philip Martin Lenk, Peter Diesel

Patent number: 9046436Abstract: A sensor unit has at least one measuring cell and a circuit mount arranged in a protective sleeve. The measuring cell detects a pressure of a hydraulic block. The circuit mount has a printed circuit board, which is positioned perpendicularly relative to the measuring cell. The printed circuit board has an electronic circuit with at least one electronic and/or electrical component. The measuring cell has at least one connection point configured to tap off at least one electrical output signal from the measuring cell. The circuit mount forms an internal interface which taps off the at least one electrical output signal from the measuring cell and applies it to the electronic circuit. An output signal from the electronic circuit can be tapped off by an external interface. The internal interface is formed at a first end and the external interface is formed at a second end of the protective sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Stefan Lehenberger, Robert Hengler, Dmitriy Aranovich, Philip Martin Lenk, Peter Diesel, Christian Pfleger

Patent number: 6550873Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-hydraulic unit (10) for regulating a brake pressure of a hydraulic vehicle braking system. The unit (10) includes a hydraulic block (12) with a hydraulic pump (20), an electric motor (14) for driving the hydraulic pump (20), and an electronic control unit (16), which is attached to the side of the hydraulic block (12) opposite from the electric motor (14). In order to electrically connect the electric motor (14) to the electronic control unit (16), the invention proposes embodying the electric motor (14) with a tubular insulator (40), which has spreader tabs (46) on a free end, which are pushed apart from each other by electrical blade contacts (42) that are contained in the insulator (40). The spreader tabs (46) that are pushed apart from each other rest without play in a through hole (48) of the hydraulic block (12) and position the blade contacts (42) on the hydraulic block (12).
