Abstract
A cuboidal hydraulic block of a hydraulic unit of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system. The cuboidal hydraulic block is for fastening optionally with one fastening side or an opposite fastening side to a splashboard of a motor vehicle, so that the hydraulic unit may be housed optionally with an electric motor on a right side or a left side of the hydraulic block in an engine compartment of the motor vehicle.
Claims13
A hydraulic block arrangement for a hydraulic unit of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system, the arrangement comprising:
- a cuboidal hydraulic block having (a) a power cylinder bore in a motor side of the hydraulic block, (b) a main brake cylinder bore extending between first and second fastening sides of the hydraulic block, the first and second fastening sides being opposite each other and being adjacent and perpendicular to the motor side, and (c) a first fastener connecting arrangement at the first fastening side and a second fastener connecting arrangement at the second fastening side;
- an electric motor situated at the motor side covering an opening of the power cylinder bore;
- a piston rod that is shiftable by a brake pedal or lever;
- and
- a fastener mechanically fastened to the first fastener connecting arrangement at the first fastening side of the hydraulic block;
- wherein the fastener:
- is configured to also be mechanically fastened to the second fastener connecting arrangement at the second fastening side;
- and
- includes a fastening flange that has an opening therethrough aligned with the main brake cylinder bore and through which the piston rod is passable into the main brake cylinder bore from whichever of the first and second fastening sides to which the fastener is mechanically fastened.
A hydraulic block arrangement for a hydraulic unit of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system, the arrangement comprising:
- a fastener;
- a cuboidal hydraulic block that includes (a) a power cylinder bore in a motor side of the hydraulic block, (b) a receptacle that is in a control unit side of the cuboidal hydraulic block and is structured to accommodate therein a pedal travel simulator, (c) a first fastener connecting arrangement at a first fastening side of the hydraulic block, and (d) a second fastener connecting arrangement at a second fastening side of the hydraulic block that is opposite the first fastening side, wherein:
- the fastener is mechanically fastened to the first connecting arrangement such that the cuboidal hydraulic block is mechanically attachable to a splashboard of an engine compartment of a vehicle;
- the second connecting arrangement is structured for the fastener to also mechanically fasten to the second connecting arrangement when not mechanically fastened to the first connecting arrangement;
- and
- the motor side and the control unit side are opposite each other and are perpendicular to and extend between the first and second fastening sides;
- and
- an electric motor situated at the motor side covering an opening of the power cylinder bore.
