Abstract:
A pneumatic brake booster includes a booster housing, subdivided into at least two chambers by at least one axially movable wall to which a pneumatic differential pressure can be applied, a control valve controlling the differential pressure and being arranged in a control housing, an operable input member, connected to a valve piston, an output member which applies a boosting force to a master cylinder, as well as an accommodating element, which accommodates a rubber-elastic reaction element and the output member abutting thereon in a radial direction, with the accommodating element being axially and radially supported on the control housing and being held in an axial direction by means of a holding element.
Abstract:
A brake actuator unit for actuating a motor vehicle braking system of the “brake-by-wire” type, having a brake booster which can be actuated by a brake pedal and by an electronic control unit as a function of a driver's request and has a piston rod, a master brake cylinder arranged downstream of the brake booster, and a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is arranged in parallel with the piston rod and by which, in the “brake-by-wire” mode, a restoring force acting on the brake pedal can be simulated independently of actuation of the brake booster. In order to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the “brake-by-wire” mode, a distance ‘a’ is provided between the brake pedal and a component arranged downstream in the force flux and assigned to the brake booster.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a brake actuation unit for actuating a ‘brake-by-wire’ type brake system for a motor vehicle comprising a brake booster operable both by means of a brake pedal mounted on a shaft and by means of an electronic control unit depending on the driver's request, with means being provided to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the ‘brake-by-wire’ operating mode, means to detect a deceleration request of the driver, as well as a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is formed of a simulator spring, which is arranged in terms of effect between a force-transmitting part connected to the brake pedal and a simulator housing, which is mounted on the shaft by means of two bearings. It is arranged according to the invention that the simulator housing (22) includes a cylindrical area (26) for the accommodation of the two bearings (27, 28). This measure renders it possible to reduce the deformations that occur during actuation of the pedal travel simulator to a great extent.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a brake actuating unit for actuating a motor vehicle brake system of the ‘brake-by-wire’ type. The system includes a brake booster which is operable in response to the driver's wish both by a brake pedal and by an electronic control unit. A device is provided to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the ‘brake-by-wire’ operating mode. A master brake cylinder connected downstream of the brake booster, a device to detect a deceleration request of the driver, and a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and due to which a resetting force acting on the brake pedal can be simulated in the ‘brake-by-wire’ operating mode independently of an actuation of the brake booster, and which can be enabled in the ‘brake-by-wire’ operating mode when the force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster is decoupled and can be disabled outside the ‘brake-by-wire’ operating mode. The pedal travel simulator (2) is enabled and disabled by electromechanical means (22, 25), electrohydraulic means (40, 47) or pneumatically operable means (96 to 98).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a master cylinder with a pressure chamber formed in a housing of the master cylinder and a reservoir bore for accommodating a pressure fluid reservoir, a valve with a closing element being provided which due to a pressure difference prevailing between the pressure chamber and the pressure fluid reservoir can be moved into an opening position or a closing position, the valve in its opening position allowing a pressure fluid flow from the pressure fluid reservoir into the pressure chamber and throttling or preventing, in its closing position, a pressure fluid flow from the pressure chamber into the pressure fluid reservoir.Means are provided which maintain the closing body in its opening position when it is acted upon by a closing pressure difference during vacuum filling of the brake system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a master cylinder, in particular for a hydraulic brake system, with at least one pressure chamber formed in a housing of the master cylinder and at least one reservoir bore for accommodating a pressure fluid reservoir, a valve with a closing element being provided which due to a pressure difference prevailing between the pressure chamber and the pressure fluid reservoir can be moved into an opening position or a closing position, the valve in its opening position allowing a pressure fluid flow from the pressure fluid reservoir into the pressure chamber and throttling or preventing, in its closing position, a pressure fluid flow in the opposite direction to the pressure fluid flow from the pressure chamber into the pressure fluid reservoir. In order to allow not only a reduction of the lost travel of the master cylinder but also a vacuum filling of the brake system, means are provided which maintain the closing body in its opening position when it is acted upon by a closing pressure difference due to an evacuation for the purpose of vacuum filling of the brake system and allow the closing element to move in its closing position when the brake is actuated.
