Abstract
A redundant power supply system delivers the power required by an electro-mechanical braking system. This is achieved through at least two independent power supply circuits, each containing energy storage device modules, e.g. batteries, which are supplied from the vehicle's board network. Additionally, a partitioning of the energy storage device modules in each supply path is provided, such that in case of failure in one or two of the energy storage device modules there is still adequate power to supply the braking system as well as other safety critical components.
Claims11
A redundant power supply system for an electromechanical brake system for a vehicle, wherein the redundant power supply system comprises:
- at least two power supply paths supplied from a vehicle's board network,
- wherein each power supply path contains at least two energy storage device modules interconnected in a H-schematic 2×2 energy storage devices arrangement.
A redundant power supply system comprising a configuration in a second or any further circuit, which comprises a singular power path, where in an event of failure in said second or further circuit, a required braking performance is ensured by front wheel brake actuators.
