Abstract
A brake system, and a method for operating a brake system of a vehicle. To reduce a braking force, brake fluid is able to be discharged from the braking device via a cross-section adjusting member which connects a delivery device to the braking device, in a controlled and/or regulated manner, into an intermediate reservoir and is delivered to the main brake cylinder using the delivery device. The discharge of the brake fluid from the braking device of the brake system takes place, at least at times, at a discharge volume flow that is greater than the maximum delivery volume flow of the delivery device, and when a certain operating state of the braking system occurs, the discharge volume flow is reduced.
Claims16
A method for operating a brake system of a vehicle, the brake system having at least one braking device assigned to a wheel of the vehicle, which is provided for applying a braking force to the wheel and to which brake fluid from a main brake cylinder is able to be supplied, and having a delivery device connected to the braking device via a cross-section adjusting member and an intermediate reservoir, the method comprising:
- discharging brake fluid from the braking device via the cross-section adjusting member, in at least one of a controlled and regulated manner, into the intermediate reservoir and delivering the brake fluid to the main brake cylinder using the delivery device, the discharging of the brake fluid from the braking device of the brake system taking place, at least at times, at a discharge volume flow that is greater than a maximum delivery volume flow of the delivery device;
- and
- reducing the discharge volume flow when a certain operating state of the brake system occurs,
- wherein the cross-section adjusting member equalizes the pressure discharged from the at least one braking device using at least one valve.
A brake system of a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one braking device assigned to a wheel of the vehicle, which is provided for applying a braking force to the wheel and to which brake fluid from a main brake cylinder is able to be supplied;
- and
- a delivery device connected to the braking device via a cross-section adjusting member and an intermediate reservoir, wherein to reduce the braking force, brake fluid is discharged from the braking device via the cross-section adjusting member, in at least one of a controlled and regulated manner, into the intermediate reservoir and is delivered to the main brake cylinder using the delivery device;
- wherein the brake system is configured so that the discharge of the brake fluid from the braking device of the brake system takes place, at least at times, at a discharge volume flow that is greater than a maximum delivery volume flow of the delivery device, and when a certain operating state of the braking system occurs, the discharge volume flow is reduced, and wherein the cross-section adjusting member equalizes the pressure discharged from the at least one braking device using at least one valve.
