  • Patent number: 10543819
    Abstract: A power-assisted hydraulic braking system includes a main brake line into which a setpoint brake pressure can be introduced via a brake valve actuated by a brake pedal, and from which a plurality of wheel brake lines branch off, each leading to an actuating unit of a wheel brake, and a valve arrangement of an ABS controller, comprising an inlet valve disposed between the main brake line and one of the wheel brake lines and an outlet valve disposed between the relevant wheel brake line and a pressureless return line. The inlet valve and the outlet valve are embodied as pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valves with suitably sized switching cross-sections.

  • Patent number: 9925964
    Abstract: A vehicle braking unit comprises an operating braking pressure inlet which receives an inlet braking pressure built up by a braking cylinder, and at least one operating brake pressure outlet at which an outlet braking pressure is provided for an operating brake modulator, which is upstream of the operating brake and provides anti-lock functionality. At least one connecting channel hydraulically connects the operating brake pressure inlet to the outlet. Brake fluid is supplied from a storage unit through the brake cylinder, the connecting channel and the operating brake modulator. The braking unit has a brake fluid inlet, through which the brake fluid is received from the storage unit, a brake fluid pump, by which the brake fluid is suctioned through the brake fluid inlet and a supply pressure is built up, and a valve unit that controls the outlet braking pressure and/or a parking brake release pressure by the supply pressure.
