A relay-valve (RV) device for commercial-vehicles, having: a relay-piston, in a housing, has a piston-pin (PP) extending in a longitudinal-direction (LD) from a piston-plate (PPL) and is movable in the LD in a PPL-guide, the PPL dividing a housing interior into a PP-side volume and a volume remote therefrom, a valve, which is actuated by the PP to introduce a fluid from a supply-pressure-reservoir into the PP-side volume, and an intermediate-element (IE), arranged around the PP is movable relative thereto in the LD in an IE-guide and which divides the PP-side volume into a PPL-side volume and a volume remote therefrom and limits the flow-rate of the fluid to the PPL by at least one through-opening, in which the RV device has an IE-stop, which limits the movement of the IE in the direction of the PPL and against which the IE is bringable into sealing contact by the fluid-pressure.

Relay valve device and braking device for a vehicle having such a relay valve device

An electric-parking-brake for a utility-vehicle, including: a feed-line for brake-pressure air; a discharge-line for brake-pressure air for a pneumatic-brake-device; a first-valve and a second-valve, each being switchable between a stable-state and an activated-state in response to electrical control-signals; and a valve-device which is connected between the feed-line and the discharge-line and exhibits a control-input, the valve device being switchable between a stable-state and an activated-state in response to control signals at the control-input, the feed-line being connected to the discharge-line in the activated-state, in which the first-valve in the stable-state or in the activated-state connects the control-input of the valve-device to the discharge-line, to retain a current-state of the valve-device when the brake-pressure air is applied to the discharge-line, and in the activated or stable state connects the control-input to the second-valve. Also described are an electric parking brake system, a utility vehicle, and a related method.

Electric parking brake

An air-suspension device for vehicles, e.g., commercial vehicles, includes a valve block that is assigned to a rear axle and contains a central valve for aerating and venting air-spring bellows of the rear axle, and a valve block assigned to a front axle for aerating and venting air-spring bellows of the front axle. The central valve of the valve block assigned to the rear axle selectively connects: a) a compressed-air supply to the air-spring bellows of the rear axle and to a supply-pressure connection of the valve block assigned to the front axle; or b) the supply-pressure connection of the valve block assigned to the front axle and the air-spring bellows of the rear axle to an air vent. The valve block assigned to the front axle has a pneumatic pilot-operation connection for pneumatic-electric pilot operation. The pneumatic pilot-operation connection of the valve block assigned to the front axle is connected to a pressure outlet of a selector-valve device, of which one pressure inlet is connectable, via the central valve of the valve block assigned to the rear axle, either to the compressed-air supply or to the air vent, and the other pressure inlet is connectable to at least one of the air-spring bellows of the front axle. The selector-valve device switches through, in each instance, the higher of the pressures applied to its pressure inlets to the pressure outlet. By this arrangement, the need for pneumatic lines is eliminated.
