Abstract:
The invention relates to a pressure accumulator which may be used in an electronically controllable vehicle braking system for a motor vehicle. In an electronically controllable vehicle braking system with a cylinder/piston arrangement (i.e., a master cylinder) providing a brake fluid , a brake pedal actuates the cylinder/piston arrangement to provide brake fluid acting on the brake of the motor vehicle. The cylinder/piston arrangement is connectable with a pump arrangement and the pressure accumulator.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle brake (10) comprising a housing (12), a brake piston (16) accommodated in the housing (12) and coupled to a brake lining (20), a blocking device (26) for arresting the brake piston (16) inside the housing (12), and an electromechanical actuating device (42) for activating the blocking device (26) in a parking brake situation, wherein the brake piston (16) together with the housing (12) delimits a fluid chamber (68) that is chargeable with hydraulic fluid, so that the brake piston (16) for actuating the vehicle brake (10) is hydraulically displaceable inside the housing (12) along a piston longitudinal axis (A). In such a vehicle brake it is provided that there is associated with the blocking device (26) a locking arrangement (125), which in a parking brake situation acts mechanically on a component (36) of the blocking device (26) and locks the blocking device against a resetting movement.

A disc brake (10) is described, comprising a brake disc (12) and two brake shoes (20), which are pressable against both sides of the brake disc (12) and which in relation to a peripheral force (C′) generated upon application of the brake shoes (20) against the brake disc (12) are supported against a vehicle-fixed carrier (14). The disc brake (10) moreover comprises at least one device (34) for measuring and/or converting the peripheral force (C′), which device is disposed in a force transmission chain between the brake shoe (20) and the carrier (14). A force transmission member in the form of e.g. a swivel element (30) is disposed between the brake shoe (20) and the device (34) for measuring and/or converting the peripheral force (C′) and is movable under guidance parallel to the brake disc (12).

In order to design the control unit for good packaging and installation space considerations, the pump (32), the first reservoir (34), and the second reservoir (36) are arranged in a common casing (60), and integrated as an electrohydraulic modular unit.
Abstract:
An actuating device for an electrohydraulic vehicle brake system has an emergency brake cylinder (2) which comprises a piston (24, 25), the latter being displaceable in a housing (21), and which can be actuated by means of a brake pedal (1), and a simulation device (4) for simulating a force/displacement action of the brake pedal (1), wherein the simulation device (4) is connected in series and disposed after the emergency brake cylinder (2) in the direction of force from the brake pedal (1) to the emergency brake cylinder (2). In order to hydraulically uncouple the simulation device (4) from the emergency brake cylinder (2), the emergency brake cylinder (2) is supported at the simulation device (4) and the piston (24, 25) can be locked relative to the housing (21) such that the simulation device (4) can be mechanically actuated by the emergency brake cylinder (2).

The invention relates to a pressure accumulator which comprises a housing for accommodating fluid, a fluid connection for a fluid flowing into and out of the housing, as well as a spring arrangement against whose force a fluid flowing through the fluid connection is acting, characterised in that at least one part of the spring arrangement is formed by at least one part of the wall of the housing.
Abstract:
An electrohydraulic braking system for motor vehicles with a brake master cylinder which can be actuated by a brake pedal. A wheel brake is coupled with at least with one vehicle wheel. The wheel brake can be connected with the brake master cylinder in order to subject the wheel brake to pressurized hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic pressure accumulator supplied by the pump, form an alternative source of pressurized hydraulic fluid which can be supplied to the wheel brake through a control valve arrangement in a controlled manner in order to subject the wheel brake to pressurized hydraulic fluid. A shut-off valve is arranged between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic pressure accumulator in order to selectively make or shut-off a connection between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic pressure accumulator to permit the hydraulic pump, in certain situations, to rapidly pressurize the braking system without having to simultaneously recharge the hydraulic pressure accumulator.
