Abstract
An electronically slip-controllable power-assisted braking system for a motor vehicle. The power-assisted braking system is equipped with a hydraulically acting booster device that is inserted in a brake circuit downstream from an actuation device and has a piston unit movably guided in a cylinder housing. The piston unit is embodied in stepped fashion and divides an interior space of the cylinder housing into multiple booster chambers impinged upon by pressure medium. At least one of these booster chambers is capable of being impinged upon by pump pressure from a pump driven by external force.
Claims10
An electronically slip-controllable power-assisted braking system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an actuation device capable of being impinged upon by muscle force and a booster device interacting with the actuation device for generation of a circuit pressure in at least one brake circuit connected to the actuation device;
- a pressure modulation device capable of having control applied electronically to it and provided in the brake circuit, for converting the circuit pressure into a brake pressure as a function of slip conditions existing at a wheel of a vehicle equipped with the power-assisted braking system;
- and
- at least one wheel brake connected to the brake circuit, the at least one wheel brake being associated with the wheel of the vehicle and converting the brake pressure into a wheel braking force;
- the booster device inserted into the brake circuit downstream from the actuation device, and having a piston unit guided movably in an interior space of a cylinder housing, which divides the interior space into booster chambers sealed with respect to one another, at least one first one of the booster chambers being impinged upon, from a pump drivable by external power, by pressure medium under pump pressure.
