Abstract
A cuboidal housing block, particularly for a hydraulic modulator to generate, control or regulate a hydraulic pressure in a brake circuit of an electronically controllable power-brake system. Housing blocks have, inter alia, a mounting side which is provided for mounting an electronic control unit. To save on weight and material, a recess is provided on one long side of the housing block, the recess being in the form of a groove that is closed on the sides and otherwise open toward the surroundings of the housing block. The recess is bounded lengthwise by bars, an outer flank of these bars transitioning seamlessly into the mounting side and enlarging its area.
Claims6
A cuboidal housing block for a hydraulic modulator to generate or control or regulate a brake pressure in a brake circuit of an electronically controllable power-brake system, comprising:
- a first mounting side provided to mount a motor for driving a pressure generator;
- a second mounting side, situated opposite the first mounting side in plane-parallel fashion, provided to mount an electronic control unit able to be anchored on the housing block;
- a first transverse side, and a second transverse side situated opposite the first transverse side in plane-parallel fashion, each of the first transverse side and the second transverse side extends perpendicular to the first mounting side and to the second mounting side;
- and
- a first long side, and a second long side situated opposite the first long side in plane-parallel fashion,
- each of the first and second long sides being aligned perpendicular to the first mounting side and to the second mounting side as well as perpendicular to the first transverse side and to the second transverse side;
- wherein on one of the first and second long sides, the housing block has at least one recess which passes through from the first transverse side up to the second transverse side of the housing block and which is implemented in the form of a groove that is closed lengthwise and otherwise is open toward surroundings of the housing block,
- wherein the recess is disposed symmetrically relative to a center axis of the housing block running between the first and second mounting sides and extends continuously from the first transverse side to the second transverse side.
