Abstract
The invention relates to an electromechanical brake applying device, especially for a rail vehicle brake, comprising a) an operating brake unit for producing a load-corrected and/or a skid-controlled brake force, b) an accumulation brake unit having an energy accumulator for storing and supplying energy for applying the brake, and c) an unlockable locking device for the energy accumulator. According to the invention, at least one control and monitoring device is provided for monitoring the brake function of the brake applying device. When the brake applying device is intact, a signal for keeping the locking device locked can be produced by said control and monitoring device, and in the event of safety braking and/or park braking, the operating brake unit can be activated in order to apply the brake.
Claims14
An electromechanical brake application device for a rail vehicle brake, the device comprising:
- a) a service-type brake unit for generating a load-corrected and/or slip-controlled braking power;
- b) an accumulator-type brake unit having an energy accumulator for storing and supplying energy for the application of the brake;
- c) an unlockable locking device for the energy accumulator;
- and
- d) at least one control and monitoring device for monitoring the braking function of the brake application device;
- the control and monitoring device, when the brake application device is intact, generates a signal for keeping the locking device locked and, also in the event of a safety and/or parking braking, the service-type braking unit is activated for applying the brake.
