Abstract:
A method for ascertaining an operating variable of a drum brake, the method using forces acting on supporting bearings. The invention further relates to an associated drum brake assembly, an associated analysis unit and an associated storage medium.
Abstract:
Methods and corresponding control devices for releasing an electric actuator in a reliable manner, such as an electric parking brake in particular, in a motor vehicle brake system. The aim of the invention is to provide an improved function and architecture which helps prevent the disadvantages of open-loop control systems when using a rationalized sensor system, thereby obviating closed-loop control systems. This is achieved by a release method and a corresponding electronic control unit which obtains an especially modulated change in the power requirement during the release process upon impacting the quasi-elastic release end stop of the electric actuating unit such that the change is fed back, the change being detected in order to be used as information for a power interruption or a termination of the power supply to the electric actuating unit.
Abstract:
An electric-motor-operated parking brake system carries out metered actuation without a force and travel sensor. A control unit initiates a primary tensioning process with observation of the current, and wherein secondary or tertiary tensioning processes with increased brake application force are executed exclusively automatically by the control unit if monitoring of the stationary state during an energization interval detects an undesired vehicle movement.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuator system, in particular an electromechanical parking brake system, comprising an actuator, wherein the actuator is driven by a direct current motor that can be driven in both directions of rotation, wherein a control unit for controlling the movement of the direct current motor in an open-loop or closed-loop manner is provided. The core of the invention is that one or more pieces of information are supplied to a control unit, said information allowing the application force exerted by the electromotive actuator to be determined and compared to a predetermined minimum application force, and wherein the control unit emits at least one piece of information, signal or the like for requesting an auxiliary actuation to peripheral systems, components and/or electronic control units after the target to actual value comparison has shown that the determined, set application force is smaller than the predetermined minimum application force.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a movement of a vehicle that has been shut down in a parked state, including: detecting a movement variable which describes a movement of the vehicle, integrating the movement variable, in a manner dependent on a movement direction of the vehicle, to obtain a movement travel, and, if the movement travel meets a predetermined condition, making a decision on the movement for detection.
