Abstract

A control device housing for an electronic brake system includes a lid, a housing part closable by the lid, a component support member for electronic components, and a cooling element that is in direct or indirect thermal contact with at least part of the electronic components. The cooling element may be either a planar additional cooling plate or a lid that is at least partly made of metal. The cooling element and the component support member are spaced from each other, and thin heat conductive elements are arranged in the resulting intermediate space between the cooling element and the electronic components that are to be cooled or the component support member. The heat conductive elements are configured flexibly for tolerance compensation and inhere good heat conductivity in addition.

Dependent claims

A control device housing for an electronic brake system, comprising:

a lid;
a closable housing part;
a support member for electronic components;
and
a cooling element in direct or indirect thermal contact with at least a portion of the electronic components, said cooling element being a planar cooling plate or lid at least partly comprised of metal,
wherein the cooling element and electronic components are separated from each other by an intermediate space, a plurality of heat conductive elements being arranged in said intermediate space, said heat conductive elements being flexible for tolerance compensation,
wherein said closable housing part comprises a valve coil area for accommodating valve coils, wherein the housing part is connected to a metallic hydraulic block assembly that contains hydraulic valves that correspond with valve coils positioned within the valve coil area.
