Abstract
The invention relates to a valve arrangement (10) comprising valves and coil arrangements (20), each coil arrangement (20) having two coils (110, 210) which are electrically connected to separate control units (100, 200). Each valve can be independently actuated by either the first coil (110) or the second coil (210) of the coil arrangement (20) associated therewith. The invention further relates to a brake system (400, 500) having such a valve arrangement (10).
Claims14
A valve arrangement comprising:
- a number of valves,
- a number of coil arrangements, wherein a respective coil arrangement is assigned to each valve for actuating the valve, and wherein each coil arrangement has a first coil and a second coil,
- a first control unit, and
- a second control unit,
- wherein the first control unit is connected to all first coils in order to actuate these,
- wherein the second control unit is connected to all second coils in order to actuate these, and
- wherein each valve can be operated both by the first coil and by the second coil of the coil arrangement assigned thereto, independently of each other,
- wherein each first coil has a respective first coil housing comprising a first sidewall surrounding the first coil at a first radial distance and each second coil has a respective second coil housing comprising a second sidewall surrounding the second coil at a second radial distance greater than the first radial distance, and
- wherein the first sidewall of the first coil housing and the second sidewall of the second coil housing of each coil arrangement overlap in a radial direction of the coil arrangement, the overlap extending less than an entire axial length of the first and second coil housings.
