Abstract
This invention relates to a multidirectional valve, in particular for wheel-slip-controlled and/or automatic-brake-intervention-equipped hydraulic brake systems of automotive vehicles, which includes a seat valve member disposed axially movably within a valve housing as well as a valve slide movable relative to the seat valve member within the valve housing, with the valve slide connecting one or a plurality of pressure medium consumers (wheel brakes) alternatively to a pressure medium source (braking pressure generator) or to a pressure medium collector (low pressure reservoir) The valve slide is mechanically coupled with the seat valve member.
Claims10
A multidirectional valve for hydraulic brake control applications comprising:
- a seat valve member disposed axially movably within a valve housing,
- a valve slide movable within the valve housing and movable into a plurality of positions of which one said position is defined as a basic position, wherein the valve slide is adapted to connect at least one wheel-brake-side pressure medium consumers to a pressure medium source, wherein the valve slide is mechanically coupled with the seat valve member and wherein the valve slide is a hollow slide disposed movably relative to the seat valve member within the valve housing, wherein the valve slide is penetrated coaxially by a tappet which receives the seat valve member and which, on the seat valve member, includes a stop abutted by the valve slide under the action of a spring element and wherein the seat valve member is a one-piece component of the tappet.
