A brake system for a motor vehicle may comprise an actuating device, in particular a brake pedal, a pressure supply device, in particular a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit driven by an electric motor driven, for hydraulically adjusting a brake piston of at least one wheel brake, wherein the pressure supply device works in particular on wheel brakes of the front axle of the motor vehicle, and having at least one electromechanically actuatable wheel brake, for electrically adjusting a brake piston of the wheel brake, in particular for the rear wheels of the motor vehicle. For electromechanically actuating the wheel brake, an electric motor and a first transmission, which transmits the driving force of the motor to a further transmission, in particular a ball-screw transmission, are provided. One or more (hydraulic and/or electric) components or subsystems of the brake system are designed to have at least one layer of redundancy.

Brake system, in particular for automatic driving

A pressure generating device may comprise a piston-cylinder unit having a bilaterally acting piston with two effective surfaces defining two respective, separate working spaces in a sealing manner. Each working space is connected via a hydraulic line to a hydraulic circuit, wherein at least one hydraulic chamber of a consumer is connected to each hydraulic circuit, and wherein a drive drives the piston. Each working space may be in communication with a reservoir for hydraulic medium, via a respective hydraulic line having a respective switching valve. Alternatively, one or both working spaces may be in communication with a reservoir for hydraulic medium via a hydraulic line, with a switching valve in one or both hydraulic lines, and/or a respective outlet valve may be associated with one or more hydraulic chambers of the consumer, and a further connecting line having a switching valve may connect the pressure chambers and/or hydraulic lines.

A brake system for motor vehicles may include an actuation device (e.g., brake pedal), a first piston-cylinder unit having at least one piston that separates two working chambers, a control device and a pressure supply unit driven by an electric motor and having a double-stroke piston delimiting working chambers. At least one brake circuit may have associated therewith at least one wheel brake, and each wheel brake may be connected to an associated hydraulic connecting line via a controllable switching valve. An outlet valve may be assigned to a single wheel brake or to a single wheel brake of each brake circuit in a hydraulic connection between the wheel brake and a pressure medium storage container.

An actuation device for a hydraulic actuation system, e.g., a motor vehicle brake or an electrified clutch actuator, may include a connection for an actuation device; a pressure supply device, driven by an electromotor drive, in the form of a piston or double-stroke piston pump; a piston cylinder unit that may be actuated by means of the actuation device; and an electronic control unit. An axis of the piston cylinder unit and an axis of the pressure supply device may be arranged in parallel.

Actuation device for a hydraulic actuation system, in particular a motor vehicle brake or an electrified clutch actuator, optionally with gear actuator

A brake system may include an actuation device that may actuate a first piston-cylinder unit to apply pressure medium to at least one brake circuit via a valve device, where a piston of the first piston-cylinder unit separate first and second working chambers; a second piston-cylinder unit, having an electromotive drive and a transmission to feed pressure medium to at least one of the brake circuits via a valve device; and a motor-pump unit having a valve device to feed pressure medium to the brake circuits. The motor of the electromotive drive of the second piston-cylinder unit and the motor of the motor-pump unit may be used jointly or independently of one another, under control of a control device. The motor-pump unit is connected via two hydraulic connections, one or both of which may incorporate separating valves, to the first and second working chambers of the first piston-cylinder unit.

Apparatus for generating braking force in a vehicle brake system has at least two pressure supply devices and first and second hydraulic brake circuits, each having at least one or two hydraulic wheel brakes. Pressure in at least one brake circuit can be both built up and released by the pressure supply devices, which include a piston pump or gear pump driven by an electric motor drive and deliver continuous volume. At least one valve arrangement may adjust wheel brake pressures individually and/or disconnect/connect the wheel brakes from/to a brake circuit and/or a pressure supply device. At least one electronic control unit enables open-loop and closed-loop control. Pressure increase is enabled in one or both brake circuits, independently or in combination, using first and/or second pressure supply devices that produce changes in pressure simultaneously or temporally offset or overlapping.
