Abstract
An anti-lock hydraulic braking system has a wheel brake circuit with a main brake cylinder, wheel brake cylinder and switching valve, and an auxiliary pressure circuit, connected in parallel between the switching valve and wheel brake cylinder on the wheel brake circuit. With ABS control, the switching valve can be switched from a basic position, where it hydraulically connects the main brake cylinder and wheel brake cylinder, to a switched position where it prevents a build-up of braking pressure on the wheel brake cylinder via the main brake cylinder, while the braking pressure on the wheel brake cylinder can be modulated by the auxiliary pressure circuit.
Claims10
An anti-lock hydraulic braking system for two-wheel vehicles, comprising
- a wheel brake circuit which comprises a main brake cylinder, at least one wheel brake cylinder and a switching valve;
- and
- an auxiliary pressure circuit which is connected in parallel between the switching valve and the wheel brake cylinder on the wheel brake circuit and which comprises a hydraulic pump for producing a volume flow, a throttle device arranged downstream of the hydraulic pump, and a volume equalization device;
- the braking system is provided with a skid-controlled operating phase;
- the switching valve, for the skid-controlled operating phase of the braking system, has a basic position, in which it hydraulically connects the main brake cylinder and the wheel brake cylinder, and a switched position in which it prevents a build-up of a braking pressure on the wheel brake cylinder via the main brake cylinder, while the braking pressure on the wheel brake cylinder can be modulated by the auxiliary pressure circuit;
- the volume equalization device is connected between the hydraulic pump and the throttle device on the auxiliary pressure circuit;
- and
- the hydraulic pump is constructed to vary the volume flow in order to withdraw hydraulic fluid from the wheel brake circuit in a defined manner.
