Abstract
The hydraulic braking circuit is fitted with a master brake cylinder controlled by a brake pedal and with a wheel-antilock device, for a motor vehicle. This device comprises a pressure generator (20), which is started up at the beginning of an antilock-braking sequence, for selectively supplying at least one wheel brake (5, 6), and a member for automatically isolating the wheel brake (5, 6) from the master brake cylinder (1) when the pressure generator is started up by bringing the wheel brake into communication with means for storing the brake fluid, means are provided for limiting the pressure of the hydraulic fluid provided by the pressure generator to a value which is function of the jamming pressure.
Claims4
A hydraulic braking circuit including a master brake cylinder controlled by a brake pedal and with a wheel-antilock device, for a motor vehicle, the device comprising a pressure generator, which is started up at the beginning of an antilock-braking sequence, for selectively supplying at least one wheel brake, a member for automatically isolating the wheel brake from the master brake cylinder when the pressure generator is activated, a member bringing the wheel brake into communication with means for storing hydraulic fluid, means for limiting the pressure of the hydraulic fluid provided by the pressure generator to a value equal to a jamming pressure increased by a predetermined pressure, and a pressure-memorization device connected to the wheel brake, the limiting means comprising a slide distributor having a movable slide which can move between first and second pressure chambers which are connected to the pressure generator and to the pressure-memorization device, respectively, so that the movable slide is displaced between first and second positions under the influence of a differential pressure established between the first and second pressure chambers in order to establish communication between the pressure generator and the means for storing hydraulic fluid.
