Anti-lock hydraulic brake system

In a hydraulic brake system for automotive vehicles with an electronically controlled brake force distribution and with anti-lock control, the rear-wheel brakes are connected via inlet valves (5, 7) closed in their inactive position. Placed in parallel to these valves is an arrangement (13, 14; 13', 14') which is substantially composed of the series connection of a brake force regulator (17, 18, 17', 18') with a throttle (15, 16) or a multiple-way valve (21, 22) which is open in its inactive position.

Brake system for automotive vehicles with electronically controlled

An anti-lock hydraulic brake system is described having a bypass line to a pump used to evacuate and pressurize the wheel brakes during antilock control. A pressure control valve in the bypass line regulates the pressure in the pressure line to the master cylinder pressure level. A low pressure accumulator absorbs recirculated fluid flow from the bypass line. A pressure operated valve opens only when a difference in pressure between the master cylinder pressure and the pump outlet pressure line pressure develops. The consequence is that a non-return valve a and pressure operated valve in combination bring about isolation of the master cylinder during antilock control to prevent brake pedal reaction to pump pressure developed during a braking pressure control operation. When the accumulator is fully charged, the bypass line is closed by means of a shut-off valve operated by an accumulator piston so that the pump delivers fluid via the pressure valve (18) back into the master cylinder (1).

An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control comprising a pedal-actuated, auxiliary-force-assisted braking pressure generator (1) having a master cylinder (2), to which the wheel brakes (31, 32, 33, 34) are connected by way of main brake lines (62, 63) of auxiliary-pressure hydraulic pumps (21, 26), and of wheel sensors (S1, S2, S3, S4) and electronic circuits (28) for determining the wheel rotational behavior and for generating electric braking-pressure control signals. For the purpose of brake slip control, the signals control electromagnetically actuatable pressure-fluid inlet valves (24, 25, 29, 30) and outlet valves (22, 23, 35, 36) inserted into the pressure-fluid lines. The pistons (6, 7) of the master cylinder (2) are furnished with central control valves (10, 11) and the brake lines (62, 63) communicate with the motively driven pumps (21, 26) by way of supply lines (45, 46) in which non-return valves (38, 39) are arranged. A valve (87) is inserted into the one supply lines ( 45), through which pressure fluid is delivered into the brake circuits (62, 63) for the purpose of traction slip control. The portion of the supply line (45) interconnecting the pumps (21, 26) and the valve (87) communicates by way of a bypass line (95) with the main brake lines (62). Each pressure-relief valve (82) is interposed into the bypass lines (95) which permits the delivery of pressure fluid into the main brake lines (62) after a nominal pressure is exceeded, but which precludes pressure fluid flow in opposite direction. A pressure-fluid accumulator (76) is in communication with the bypass line (95) into which fluid is supplied by the pump (21) until attainment of the nominal pressure. The accumulator (76) also is in communication with the supply line (46) by way of a branch line (101).

Anti-lock brake system with traction slip control

An anti-lock controlled/traction-slip controlled brake system operating according to the return delivery principle. A charging circuit is provided for charging an accumulator (20). In order to charge the accumulator, valves (21, 22 and 15) are switched over, thereby establishing a pressure fluid connection between the master brake cylinder as well as the regulating valves (11, 15) by way of the pump (14) to the accumulator (20). The pump delivers fluid out of the supply reservoir (4) connected with the master brake cylinder into the accumulator (20). Since the connection between the master brake cylinder (1) and the wheel brakes remains open when the accumulator is charged, a braking operation is immediately possible even during the charging operation.

Slip-controlled hydraulic brake system

A process and apparatus for monitoring and controlling an anti-locking automotive brake system comprising a tandem master cylinder and an auxiliary pressure source, from which, in the event of anti-lock regulation, pressure fluid is supplied to the working chambers of the master cylinder. Auxiliary pressure regulation is performed with the aid of central valves and the auxiliary pressure source is turned on and off in response to the advance of the primary piston, a maximum distance being preset between the primary and the secondary piston. Once this space is exceeded, the central valve disposed in the primary piston, opens resulting in another advance of the primary piston and a switch-on of the auxiliary pressure source. If the primary piston after the auxiliary pressure source having been turned on, is not restored within the predetermined time interval, an error signal will be generated. If the way switch disposed on the primary piston fails to respond after a predetermined number of regulating cycles or pressure decreasing pulses, an error signal will also be generated and the anti-locking regulation will be turned off or the auxiliary pressure source switched on.

Process of monitoring and controlling an anti-locking automotive brake

In a brake system with slip control comprising a pedal-actuated vacuum booster and a dual-circuit master cylinder, to which the wheel brakes are connected via brake lines, comprises an auxiliary-pressure source with a hydraulic pump and a pressure-compensating and pressure-fluid supply reservoir wheel sensors and electronic circuits for determining the wheel rotational behavior and for generating electric braking-pressure control signals which serve to control electromagnetically actuatable pressure-fluid inlet valves and outlet valves inserted into the brake lines and into the supply line for slip control, a valve is provided in order to control the auxiliary pressure and to adapt same to the pressure in the pressure chambers of the master cylinder. The wheel brakes of the rear wheels are jointly connected via the supply valve to the supply line which forms the third brake circuit and which is acted upon by controlled pressure, while the wheel brakes of the front wheels are connected to the two static brake circuits in which the non-return valves are inserted.

Brake system with slip control

An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control includes a pedal-actuated, auxiliary-force-assisted braking pressure generator having a master cylinder to which the wheel brakes are connected by main brake lines, auxiliary-pressure hydraulic pumps, wheel sensors and electronic circuits for determining the wheel rotational behavior and for generating electric braking-pressure control signals which, for the purpose of brake slip control, serve to control electromagnetically actuatable pressure-fluid inlet valves and outlet valves provided in the pressure-fluid lines. Pistons of the master cylinder include central control valves which, in the brake's release position, open pressure-fluid connections between the pressure-fluid supply reservior and the pressure chambers and which, in the braking position, close the pressure-fluid connections. The brake lines communicate through supply lines with the pumps. Valves are provided in the pressure-fluid lines connecting the master cylinder to the pressure-fluid supply reservoir and prevent return flow of the pressure fluid out of the pressure chambers of the master cylinder when traction slip control is performed.

A brake system with slip control is disclosed including a master cylinder at whose working chambers the wheel brakes are connected via inlet/outlet valve pairs. A pressure compensation reservoir and an auxiliary pressure supply system are connected to the working chambers via a control valve. The inlet valves of the driven wheels and the auxiliary pressure supply system are connected to the working chambers of the master cylinder via multi-directional valves which are open in the rest position and which can be changed over during traction slip control. The inlet valves of the non-driven wheels directly communicate with the working chambers. In the traction slip control phase, the auxiliary pressure is limited to a maximum pressure required by means of a pressure relief valve.

Brake system with slip control for automotive vehicles with a driven

An anti-lock brake system with traction slip control is disclosed. The system is the type including a pedal activated, auxilary force assisted braking pressure generator having two brake circuits. Each circuit supplies electromechanical valves controlled by an electronic controller in response to wheel behavior to increase and decrease brake pressure so as to control brake action and prevent wheel lock up. A normally closed valve is provided in at least one of two supply lines from an auxiliary pump and accumulator to the wheel brake inlet valve for controlling traction slip. A portion of the supply line which interconnects the pump and the valve communicates with one of the two main brake lines through a short-circuit line including a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve permits delivery of pressure fluid into the main brake line above a nominal pressure and prevents flow in the opposite direction.

A brake system for vehicles with electronic anti-lock control and traction slip control is equipped with a dual-circuit braking pressure generator (1) with preferably diagonal brake-circuit allotment. In the control phases, an auxiliary-pressure supply system (5), instead of the braking pressure generator (1), is hydraulically connected to the wheel brakes. Each brake circuit (I, II) contains, in the pressure-fluid conduits from the braking pressure generator to the wheel brakes, one joint multi-directional control valve (10, 11) and, connected in series thereto, individual wheel multi-directional control valves (12 to 15) which are likewise open in their inoperative position. In lieu of the braking pressure generator, the auxiliary-pressure supply system (5)--which generates pressure proportional to the pedal force during anti-lock control, while it generates uncontrolled pressure during traction slip control--is connected to the wheel brakes during the control phases. The point of connection is located in each case between the joint valves (10, 11) and the individual wheel multi-directional control valves (12 to 15).

Vehicular brake system with electronic anti-lock control and traction

A brake system with anti-lock control and traction slip control is disclosed. The system includes a braking pressure generator composed of a master cylinder and a brake power booster. Also provided is an auxiliary-pressure supply system which generates an auxiliary pressure proportional to the pedal force for anti-lock control and generates an uncontrolled predetermined auxiliary pressure for traction slip control. The wheel brakes of the front wheels are connected to the master cylinder. By way of valve assemblies, the auxiliary-pressure supply system is connected to the wheel brakes of the front wheels in the control phases. The rear-wheel brake circuit is designed as a dynamic circuit and is fed directly by the auxiliary-pressure supply system.

Brake system with anti-lock control and traction slip control

A hydraulic brake system with anti-skid control and/or traction slip control has a braking pressure generator (1, 21), a pressure compensation reservoir (4, 4',24, 24', 42), braking pressure control valves (7, 8 V.sub.1 -V.sub.4, AV.sub.1 -AV.sub.4) by which pressure medium can be tapped from the wheel brakes of the controlled wheels in the braking pressure reduction phase. Further, there is provided an auxiliary pressure supply system (10, 10') by which, in case of control, it is possible to supply pressure medium into the wheel brakes. To increase the operational reliability of the brake system, a pressure compensation chamber (18, 28, 28', 28', 39, 39') with a non-return valve (19, 29, 29', 29', 44, 46) connected upstream and opening toward the pressure compensation chamber is inserted into the pressure medium paths from the pressure compensation reservoir (4', 24, 24', 42) to the auxiliary pressure supply system. The outputs of the outlet valves (AV, AV.sub.1 -AV.sub.4, AV.sub.1 '-AV.sub.4 ') lead into said pressure compensation chamber (18, 28, 28', 28', 39, 39').

Hydraulic brake system with anti-skid control and/or traction slip

Through a valve arrangement for brake systems of automotive vehicles comprising an electronic antilocking and traction slip control including a two-circuit brake pressure generator (3) and an auxiliary pressure supply system (5) generating an auxiliary pressure proportional to the pedal force and, in traction slip control, generating an uncontrollable auxiliary pressure, either the brake pressure generator (1) or the auxiliary pressure supply system is capable of being connected to the wheel brakes (26-29). The non-driven wheel (HR, HL) of the vehicle is connected directly while the drive wheel (VR, VL) of the vehicle is connected, through an additional multi-way valve, to the brake pressure generator (1) and to the auxiliary pressure supply system (12). Moreover, the wheel brakes (27, 29) of the driven wheels (VR, VL), through additional multi-way valves (20, 21) for the traction slip control, can be directly connected to the auxiliary pressure supply system(5).
