Abstract
A housing for a hydraulic unit, in particular a master brake cylinder for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, has at least a first and a second separate formed elements which are arranged on at least one side of the housing for a spatially clearly defined mounting of the housing and introduction of clamping forces into an external holding device.
Claims13
A housing for a hydraulic unit for producing brake pressure for a hydraulic brake system, comprising:
- at least one elongated portion along a longitudinal axis of the housing and configured for machining in at least one region;
- at least a first formed element and a second formed element formed on a blank of the housing during the casting process arranged on at least one side of the housing wherein the first formed element and the second formed element are specifically intended to receive clamping forces during a machining process;
- wherein the first formed element has a rotationally symmetrical shape to define a neutral position along the longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein a rotational axis of the first formed element is directed orthogonally to the longitudinal axis;
- wherein the second formed element has a wedge-shape and tapers in a radial outward direction relative to the longitudinal axis and has two flanks which are oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis and run towards one another to establish a neutral position with respect to rolling about the longitudinal axis of the housing;
- a spatial transverse axis, a spatial vertical axis and the longitudinal axis, are defined such that they form an axis intersection of a Cartesian coordinate system;
- at least one separate clamping face formed during the casting process parallel to a plane oriented orthogonally to the vertical axis, the clamping face wherein the at least one separate clamping face is on a second side of the housing, opposite the at least first and second formed elements and relative to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of machining regions, wherein the first formed element, the second formed element and the at least one separate clamping surface are unmachined surfaces separate from the plurality of machining regions.
