Detection of an impact event

A control device for at least one electric parking brake of a vehicle brake system of a vehicle having a control instrument, to determine a setpoint variable regarding a setpoint braking torque to be generated with the parking brake and to output a control signal, the control instrument being configured to ascertain/detect, based on at least one provided signal, whether a brake booster is in at least one functionally limited or incapacitated state, and, if indicated, to determine the setpoint variable by considering at least one defined parameter regarding a requested total braking torque and to control the electric parking brake so that a corresponding actual braking torque is exertable with the parking brake. Also described is an electric parking brake for a vehicle brake system and to a vehicle brake system, and a method for operating a vehicle brake system having a brake booster and an electric parking brake.

An electromagnetically actuated valve includes at least one sleeve and a magnet armature. A magnetic core is arranged in a stationary manner in the at least one sleeve. The magnet armature is configured to actuate a valve element and is axially movable. An elastically deformable spring element is clamped and retained between a core end face of the magnetic core facing the magnet armature and an armature end face of the magnet armature facing the magnetic core. The spring element forms at least one contact point in conjunction with the armature end face and the core end face. The contour of the spring element, the armature end face and/or the core end face are formed in the radial extent such that a radial position of the at least one contact point changes as a function of a distance of the armature end face from the core end face.

A magnetic valve includes a valve body having a valve seat which can be closed by a sealing element, at least one outlet channel which leads into a fluid chamber of the magnetic valve, receiving the sealing element at least in parts, and a flow guiding element which surrounds the sealing element at least in parts. The sealing element is operatively connected to a magnet armature arranged in a magnet armature chamber embodied on one side of the flow guiding element facing away from the fluid chamber. The valve body and the flow guiding element together form at least one connection channel producing a fluidic connection between the fluid chamber and the magnet armature chamber.

Magnetic valve and driver assistance device comprising said type of magnetic valve

The invention relates to a valve cartridge for a solenoid valve, having a capsule, a magnetic armature that is movably guided within the capsule, a valve insert that is inserted into the capsule at a first end, and a valve body, which is pressed into a second end of the valve insert and has a main valve seat. The magnetic armature, moved by a generated magnetic force, moves a tappet guided within the valve insert. The tappet has a closing element with a sealing element which plunges into the main valve seat of the valve body in a sealing manner for carrying out a sealing function, and an associated solenoid valve. According to the invention the valve insert is configured as a one-part slotted bushing, and the valve body is configured as a bonnet-shaped bushing. The valve body configured as a bushing is pressed into a second end of the valve insert configured as a slotted bushing such that the main valve seat is disposed within the valve insert.

The invention relates to a solenoid valve with a magnet assembly and a valve cartridge having a pole core, a valve insert connected to the pole core, an armature which is guided within the valve insert in an axially movable manner between a closed position and an open position and is coupled to a closing element, and a valve body which is connected to the valve insert and has a main valve seat which is arranged between at least one first flow opening and a second flow opening. The axially movable armature, when the magnet assembly is energized, is moved by a generated magnetic force within the valve insert in the direction of the pole core counter to a spring force of a resetting spring and counter to a fluid force in order to lift the closing element out of the main valve seat; and to permit a flow of fluid between the at least one first flow opening and the second flow opening. The axially movable armature is moved away from the pole core by the spring force of the restoring spring and by the fluid force within the valve insert in order to press the closing element into the main valve seat in a sealing manner and to interrupt the fluid flow between the at least one first flow opening and the second flow opening.
