Abstract
A method for ascertaining operating variables of a drum brake has the following steps: a) recording at least one supporting force of a brake shoe of the drum brake by means of a sensor, and b) ascertaining the operating variable based on the supporting force, the operating variable being selected from the brake lining friction value and the spreading force.
Claims14
A method for ascertaining operating variables of a drum brake comprising:
- recording at least one supporting force of a brake shoe of the drum brake with a sensor, and
- ascertaining at least one operating variable based on the supporting force, the operating variable being selected from the brake lining friction value and the spreading force.
A drum brake assembly comprising:
- at least one brake shoe;
- at least one supporting bearing;
- at least one force sensor on the supporting bearing for measuring a supporting force generated by the brake shoe in the supporting bearing;
- and
- an evaluation device, which is configured with instructions for;
- recording at least one supporting force of a brake shoe of the drum brake with a sensor, and
- ascertaining at least one operating variable based on the supporting force, the operating variable being selected from the brake lining friction value and the spreading force.
(canceled)
A non-volatile computer-readable storage medium which contains program codes, during the execution of which a processor performs said program codes having instructions for:
- recording at least one supporting force of a brake shoe of the drum brake with a sensor;
- and
- ascertaining at least one operating variable based on the supporting force, the operating variable being selected from the brake lining friction value and the spreading force.
