Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an operating system having the features of the premise of claim 1. [Background technology]
[0002] The packaging, or structural volume, of a brake system is extremely important. Especially for SAD (semi-automatic) and FAD (fully automatic) systems, numerous variations must be considered, from Level 2 with a tandem master brake cylinder (THZ) or a single master brake cylinder (HZ) to Level 5 without a THZ or HZ. In particular, concepts 3-5 with two pressure supply units or pressure supply devices (DV) present implementation challenges in terms of small structural volume packaging. Examples of packaging are known from European Patent Application Publication No. 2744691, where the pressure supply unit (DV) is positioned perpendicular to the axis of the master brake cylinder (HZ), and German Patent Application Publication No. 20160321161604, where the pressure supply device is positioned parallel to the axis of the master brake cylinder (HZ); these examples require a reduced structural width. The redundant pressure supply units enable systems with only one master brake cylinder. This is because the possibility of failure in the two pressure supply devices is extremely low, and is practically limited to failures of the onboard electrical system. Such a system is described in German Patent Application Publication No. 102017222450. Here, the master brake cylinder HZ still allows for emergency driving with brakes, for example, on a towing vehicle.
[0003] German Patent Application Publication No. 102016105232 already discloses a packaging with a small structural volume, in which an integrated redundant pressure supply unit consisting of at least one pressure supply device is combined in one module with a valve, particularly a solenoid valve, at least one open-loop and closed-loop electronic control unit, at least one reservoir and a master brake cylinder, which are combined with a hydraulic unit.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide modular packaging for various systems having a small structural volume.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The above object is achieved by a system having the features of claim 1. Advantageous configurations of the system claimed in claim 1 are obtained from the features of the dependent claims.
[0006] There is proposed a packaging having a small structural volume, comprising an integrated redundant pressure supply unit DV composed of at least one pressure supply device, a valve combined with a hydraulic unit, in particular an electromagnetic valve, at least one electronic control unit of open-loop and closed-loop type, at least one reservoir, a single master brake cylinder having a piston, a pedal stroke sensor and a stroke simulator. The present invention provides various variants of a modular operating system for a brake system with as many identical components as possible for manufacturing and assembly.
[0007] Variants possible according to the present invention are preferably Variant a: A two-box solution having two modules, wherein the first module comprises a pressure supply device (DV1), a master brake cylinder (HZ) having a stroke simulator (WS), a valve device (HCU), an open-loop and closed-loop control unit (ECU), and a reservoir (VB), and the second module comprises ESP or ABS. Variant b: A one-box solution having only one module, the module comprising at least one pressure supply device (DV1, DV2), a valve device (HCU), an open-loop and a closed-loop control unit (ECU), and a reservoir (VB). Variant c: A one-box solution having only one module with a pressure supply device, at least one pressure supply device being redundantly configured, i.e., having, for example, a dual-mounted electrical system connection or redundant phase windings, and the valve device (HCU), the open-loop and closed-loop control unit (ECU), and the reservoir (VB) also being included in the same module. Variant d: The same module as variant c, but the open-loop and closed-loop control units are configured to be fully or partially redundant. Variant e: A two-box solution having two modules, the first module comprising a pressure supply device (DV1, DV2), a valve device (HCU), an open-loop and a closed-loop control unit (ECU), and a reservoir (VB), the open-loop and closed-loop control unit (ECU) being configured to be fully or partially redundant, and the second module comprising a master brake cylinder (HZ) having a selective stroke simulator (WS). Variant f: The first module is the same as in variant e, but in the second module, instead of the master brake cylinder, only an electronic brake pedal having a stroke simulator WS or a brake switch for level V is arranged. That is.
[0008] The housings described below are advantageously used in the present invention. These housings form sub-assemblies, and these sub-assemblies form a complete unit for incorporation into a vehicle when assembled: Housing A: comprises, for example, a valve unit (HCU) for pressure supply devices DV1, DV2 having a valve (V), a solenoid valve (MV), and one or more pressure transducers (DG). Housing B: comprises open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECUs with no redundancy having a main plug connector to the onboard electrical system, or open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECUs with partial or full redundancy having two plug connectors to the onboard electrical system. Housing C: for the master brake cylinder HZ having a pedal stroke sensor and a miniature sensor ECU, and for the reservoir VB in variant form e. The master brake cylinder HZ also includes a pedal interface (PI) to the brake pedal and a stroke simulator having a piston and spring.
[0009] Housing A (HCU) is preferably manufactured from an extruded part that is highly suitable for fastening and assembly using caulking technology. Here, the pressure supply unit DV1, which has a piston drive and a ball screw transmission KGT, will be integrated with the motor, as will the pressure supply unit DV2, which has a small piston pump of the ABS / ESP, and also valves and solenoid valves. Here, the pressure supply unit DV1 is positioned parallel to the axis of, for example, the master brake cylinder (HZ), and the piston pump of the pressure supply unit DV2 is positioned perpendicular to the pressure supply unit DV1. Apart from the pressure supply unit DV1, the pressure supply unit DV2 corresponds to the proven technology of the ABS / ESP and is therefore small in structural volume and inexpensive. Alternatively, a gear or vane pump with a continuous feeding action may be used. The interface to the open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECU is also the same as that of the ABS / ESP. A master brake cylinder HZ (housing C) having all of the above-described components may be screw-fastened to housing A, which applies to all variants except variants e and f. Here, housing C is mounted to the bulkhead as a separate subassembly from the unit, and the hydraulic line from the master brake cylinder HZ is connected to housing A. In variants a and d, the reservoir VB is located within housing A, along with two connections to the brake circuit or an additional connection to the pressure supply unit DV. The float in reservoir VB has a target with connections to sensor elements in open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECUs. The motor may be connected to housing A, preferably via an intermediate housing, preferably made of plastic. Sensors necessary for rectifying the position of the motor and piston may be mounted on the motor housing on the side opposite the piston along the motor axis and connected to open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECUs, where the sensors are located in an additional housing relative to the ECUs. As redundancy for the electrical connections of the magnetic coil of the solenoid valve, a small additional circuit board on the main circuit board PCB may be used for the second connection of the magnetic coil.Furthermore, housing A may be divided into housing A1 for a pressure supply unit DV2 having a small pump and valve MV, as well as a pressure transducer DG and other components, and housing A2 for a pressure supply unit DV1 having a motor and housing, a piston having a ball screw transmission KGT, and a valve having a connection to reservoir VB.
[0010] The illustrated packaging meets the requirements for a modular system and small structural volume, and is also very inexpensive in terms of cost and weight.
[0011] By providing a special sensor housing, it becomes possible to easily compensate for manufacturing tolerances related to the housing of the unit according to the present invention, thereby ensuring that the motor sensor is reliably positioned in the intended location.
[0012] Furthermore, the special design of the reservoir allows the filler neck or filler opening to be positioned, advantageously, adjacent to or in front of the front side of the housing of the electronic control unit or actuator, thereby making it easily accessible. The connection of the front filler neck, which passes laterally through the housing of the electronic control unit and continues to the rear side of the housing of the control unit, allows the reservoir itself to be conveniently positioned behind the control unit. The lateral or central region of the reservoir may be advantageously designed to be narrower, thereby ensuring that the actuator is no wider or only slightly wider than in the case of a conventional reservoir.
[0013] Various deformation forms will be examined in detail below based on the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0014] [Figure 1] This is a side view of an integrated unit according to the present invention, which includes housings A, B, and C, a reservoir VB, and a pedal interface (PI). [Figure 2] This diagram shows a cross-section passing through the HCU and ECU, viewed from the front V. [Figure 3] This figure shows a cross-section passing through the master brake cylinder HZ, the stroke simulator WS, and PI. [Figure 4] This is a diagram showing the pedal stroke sensor. [Figure 5] This diagram shows a system without a master cylinder, but with a separate configuration of so-called electric pedals. [Figure 6] This is a cross-sectional view through the motor housing, electronic control unit, and sensor housing. [Figure 7] This diagram shows a general space-saving configuration for the reservoir. [Figure 7a] This figure shows the reservoir of Figure 7, schematically illustrating the housing for the electronic control unit and the housing for the valve gear. [Figure 8] This figure shows the unit according to the present invention shown in Figure 1, together with the reservoir shown in Figure 7. [Figure 9] This diagram shows the unit in Figure 8 as seen from the front. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0015] Figure 1 is a side view of housing A of an integrated unit having a valve device HCU, which houses the components a solenoid valve MV, a pressure transducer DG, pistons for pressure supply devices DV1 and DV2, and the mounting parts for the motors of pressure supply devices DV1 and DV2. Alternatively, as already mentioned, this housing may be divided into housings A1 and A2. Components such as the valve, solenoid valve MV, and pressure transducer DG are preferably fixed to an extruded or continuously extruded block 24, for example, the solenoid valve MV is preferably fixed by caulking or clinching, including its sealing. In an alternative configuration, as described above, housing A1 would house the subblock 24. Housing A2 may be, for example, a die-cast portion without components to be caulked. The lower portion shows a piston 8 of a pressure supply unit DV1 having a return spring and a housing cover 7, which is preferably driven by a motor 2, for example, a spindle and ball screw drive KGT (not shown). In the case of housing A, the motor 2 is screw-fastened to the HCU block 24 via an intermediate housing 3 by fixing screws. In the case of housing A2, the motor is mounted without an intermediate housing. The reservoir VB is connected to brake circuits 1 and 2 by two connectors 9a and 9b. An extension of 9c, a suction valve SV for the pressure supply unit DV is located in the housing.
[0016] On the opposite side, a sensor housing 3 having a rotation angle sensor is connected to both the motor 2 and the ECU 18 via a preferably flexible circuit board (not shown) having an intermediate housing. A plug connector is mounted on the upper side of the ECU in the open-loop and closed-loop control units, and this plug connector is mounted twice in the case of a redundant ECU. In a variant having a separate master brake cylinder HZ, a corresponding connection line to the master brake cylinder HZ is provided on 11. The reservoir VB conventionally includes a level sensor (NS) with a float, and the target together with the sensor element is located in the open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECU, which is preferably a redundant configuration in the case of levels 4 and 5. In the fully integrated version, the master brake cylinder HZ is located behind the valve device block HCU, and this master brake cylinder is screwed to the HCU block 24 by fixing screws 13.
[0017] Figure 4 shows further details. The master brake cylinder HZ conventionally has a flange 12, which is for fastening to the bulkhead (shown by the dashed line) by corresponding screws 14. In variants without the master brake cylinder HZ, a simple flange may be used for fastening to the assembly or engine compartment. Here, the unit should be tilted approximately 15°, similar to the bulkhead, to improve ventilation. The pedal interface PI and pedal plunger 1 are connected to the master brake cylinder HZ. The connection of the valve unit HCU to the wheel brake RB may be realized on the motor side or the front side.
[0018] Here, the axis of pressure supply device DV1 is parallel to the axis of the master brake cylinder (HZ) or approximately perpendicular to the flange, and the axis of pressure supply device DV2 is perpendicular to the axis of pressure supply device DV1. The axis a of the piston of pressure supply device DV2. DV2 The axis a of the pressure supply device DV1 DV1It may be parallel to and offset by an angle α in the rotational direction, which advantageously shortens the structural length. As a further alternative to the arrangement described in DV2, a parallel to the vertical axis DV2 The following arrangement may be used. In this case, different entry points for the lower plug must be provided, for example, on the opposite side of the open-loop and closed-loop control unit (ECU).
[0019] Figure 2 shows a front view. Here, the outline contour is shown to be able to still be housed within a small 8-inch vacuum space vac, and is therefore suitable for introduction into a bulkhead. The main advantage is that the structural width is about 50% of the brake booster BKV described above, which is very favorable for both right-hand drive and left-hand drive vehicles. The structural length of the brake booster BKV described above has also been significantly reduced, thus forming the basis for the widespread use of the modular concept according to the present invention. Here again, different housings A(A1, A2), B, C, and VB must be provided. Housing B is located, for example, behind the HCU block 24 and is screwed and sealed to the HCU block 24, as in the case of ABS.
[0020] The motor of the pressure supply unit DV2 operates in conjunction with, for example, the eccentric part of a piston pump, as in the case of ABS / ESP. As is known, the structural space for this is very small. Alternatively, the motor may drive a gear pump with a short structure. On the left side is an ECU housed in a housing 18 with a main circuit board PCB 23, which is connected to a plug connector St located at the top.
[0021] The solenoid valve (MV) coil is connected to the circuit board PCB23 conventionally via a connecting web 21 and press-fit contacts. The connection of the connecting web 21 to the coil wire is considered fail-safe for automated production under process control, but this does not necessarily apply to the contact to the PCB. The solenoid valve MV has important functions, particularly at levels 4 and 5, and should be designed to have redundant control of the drive unit 20 / 20r, which also has an isolation switch. The contact to the circuit board PCB may also be redundant, with a second contact on the connecting web 21, which is connected to a miniature circuit board PCB22 having a second drive unit.
[0022] For cost reasons, it is advantageous to provide a single-element circuit board PCB. In the event of moisture intrusion, the circuit board PCB may be isolated by a web with a sealing portion within the housing of the open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECUs, which have two redundant circuits. Cracks that may occur in the conductor tracks are also advantageously compensated for and eliminated by the redundancy. The remaining electronic connections, including the electrical connection 15 between the motor 26 and the circuit board PCB 23, the electronic connection 16 between the motor 2 and the motor electrical connection of the pressure supply unit DV1, and the electronic connection between the motor 2 and the rotation angle sensor 6, are also important. An advantage of the parallel arrangement of the pressure supply unit DV1 is that the length of the electrical connections is short.
[0023] Figure 3 shows a master brake cylinder HZ with a housing, which incorporates a master brake cylinder (HZ) piston 33, a stroke sensor (WS) piston with a spring for applying a force in the opposite direction, and a pedal feature section. A stroke simulator piston may also be housed in block A or housing A. This piston similarly has a redundant sealing section 45 to the inside, together with a throttle Dr. If a failure occurs in the sealing section 45, this failure is identified by the leakage flow and therefore irrelevant. The failure of the first sealing section can be diagnosed by this throttle Dr with a small leakage flow. The stroke simulator piston is supported by a flange 12 and therefore does not require a separate closing component. The master brake cylinder (HZ) piston 23 with a return spring 50 is positioned parallel to the stroke simulator piston. This piston may be guided by a low-friction sliding ring 48, in which case the sealing function of the piston is also impaired to a lesser degree. Preferably, a separate support portion 49 supported by the flange and a retaining ring 28 are used for the sliding ring and sealing portion, and a retaining ring 28 is used for the piston 23. The force stroke sensor KWS30 may be positioned on the piston of the master brake cylinder (HZ) to diagnose the stroke simulator WS. Sensor rods 31 and 31a are connected to the piston 23 and the pedal plunger. These rods are connected to the piston and the pedal plunger, respectively, by retaining couplings 32-34. The coupling consists of a ball 34 with a spring 33 in a housing 22. This prevents the pedal plunger from being blocked if one of the sensor rods becomes immobile.
[0024] Figure 4 shows the configuration of two possible alternative embodiments of the pedal stroke sensor. A first variant, having a toothed rack 38, a toothed gear 37, a drive shaft 36 for a target 35, and a sensor element 34 on a PCB 23, has already been described in German Patent Application Publication No. 102015104246. This version requires little installation space and is inexpensive. In the lower variant, a guide portion 39 is pushed into the sensor rod, for example by a pin. This guide portion 39 is guided in the upper part of the guide strip 40 such that the angular rotation acting on the target 41 is small. This target acts on an inductive sensor 42 having an evaluation circuit, which is connected to the main PCB 23 and located within the ECU housing 14.
[0025] For the above-mentioned modified forms a to f, the following components may, advantageously, be of the same design. Pressure supply device DV1: For all modification forms a-f Pressure supply device DV2: For all variants with redundant pressure supply units. HCU / ECU: For two variant configurations without redundant pressure supply units. The master brake cylinder HZ and stroke sensor WS are separate from and integrated with the pedal sensor, and are used for five of the six variants, excluding variant f which lacks a master brake cylinder. The master brake cylinder HZ is separate but has an additional reservoir VB. Solenoid valve MV: For all transformation forms. Motor sensor: For all transformation modes.
[0026] Aside from the electric pedals corresponding to system f, all components are modular. Thus, manufacturers and users have a modular system (OEM) that is particularly excellent for minimizing costs.
[0027] Figure 5 shows pressure supply devices DV1 and DV2 with valve devices. Here, an electric brake pedal, so-called electric pedal, a stroke simulator (WS) pedal stroke sensor, a small sensor ECU, and a force stroke sensor KWS are combined into a single unit without a hydraulically operated master brake cylinder HZ. This is advantageous when the installation volume in the engine compartment is small or when noise requirements are stringent. Instead of a master brake cylinder HZ with a reservoir VB (not shown in Figure 5), a pedal-operated device with a stroke simulator WS, so-called electric pedal, may be used. The signal from the pedal stroke sensor is processed in the sensor ECU and supplied to the central ECU. For level 5, a brake switch may be used instead of the electric pedal.
[0028] The unit described above has a reservoir VB with two circuits, each having a float and a level sensor NS, and these circuits may be integrated into a central open-loop and closed-loop control unit ECU. The level sensor NS should also be configured redundantly to continuously measure the level, so that volume loss due to leakage can be detected quickly. In this case, the connection to the master brake cylinder HZ is omitted, and consequently, the backup level to the master brake cylinder HZ in case of failure of both the pressure supply devices DV1 and DV2 and / or the onboard electrical system is also omitted, so valves BP1 and BP2 are preferably designed to close when the power is cut off.
[0029] One important component of the electric drive system is the motor sensor 34 for the electronic rectification and control of the piston position. The motor may be combined with different types of drive systems, such as a transmission, a trapezoidal or spindle 57 with a ball screw drive system 58, as shown in Figure 6.
[0030] Different types of sensors may be used, such as segment sensors having inductive or magnetic field-sensitive sensors, or other sensors positioned along the axis of the motor or transmission. These sensors are particularly simple in structure and consist of a sensor target, for example, in the form of a two-pole or multi-pole magnet, and a magnetic field-sensitive sensor element, for example, in the form of a Hall sensor or GMR sensor. The sensor element 34 is electrically connected to an electronic control unit (ECU), which is either directly attached to the motor or attached to the motor via an intermediate housing. The sensor element 34 is preferably housed in a sensor housing consisting of an outer housing portion 52 and an inner housing portion 52a, both of which house, in particular, a circuit board 22, on which the sensor element 34 may be positioned.
[0031] According to the present invention, the elastic portion 61 is intended to accommodate various assembly tolerances between the housing 18 of the electronic control unit ECU, the motor housing 62, possibly an intermediate housing (not shown), and the sensor housing 52 / 52a. In extreme cases, it is necessary to compensate for tolerances in all three directions x, y, and z. According to the present invention, this is achieved by a corresponding structure and the fixing of the sensor housing to the housing 18 of the electronic control unit ECU and the motor housing. Here, the sensor housing is advantageously divided into two parts, namely an outer housing 52 and an inner housing 52a, and these housing portions 52, 52a are connected to each other by conventional connection techniques such as welding or adhesive bonding, and are preferably manufactured from plastic. The sensor housing is further preferably fixed to the motor housing 62 at two points. The sensor circuit board 22 is flexible in the upper portion facing the plug connector strip in order to accommodate the tolerances described above. For example, a flex PCB (flexible circuit board) is suitable for this purpose. The electrical connection 22a from this flexible circuit board 22 to the main circuit board 23 of the electronic control unit ECU is preferably realized by a particularly fail-safe plug connector 51 having press-fit contacts. For assembly with the main circuit board 23, the housing 18 of the electronic control unit ECU has a covered opening.
[0032] The sensor housings 52, 52a are connected to and fixed to the protrusions of the ECU housing 18. Between them is an elastic portion 61, which can be, for example, a flexible elastic seal or a sealing bellows. The elastic portion is preferably designed as a lip seal. This flexible and elastic seal 61 thus functions for tolerance compensation of the three axes. Electrical connection from the motor windings to the circuit board 23 is achieved by conventional plug-in contacts.
[0033] The sensor device shown in Figure 6 further enables the measurement of rotor eccentricity, which acts on the spindle and generates a transverse force on the piston 8. A measuring means 53, positioned on the rotor or spindle nut 56 and in the simplest case being a measuring flange or disc, is used to measure the rotor eccentricity. The rotor eccentricity also acts in the axial direction and can be measured using laser technology. For this purpose, the outer sensor housing portion 52a has an opening 152 in its lower region 52'', which is closed by a closing plug 54 after measurement. The surface of the measuring means 53 may have measuring markings on the side facing the outer sensor housing portion 52, may be coated, and / or may be irregularly shaped. The lower region 52'' is fixed to the motor housing 62 by fixing screws 55.
[0034] Figure 7 shows a schematic space-saving configuration of reservoir VB, where reservoir VB is located in the front region VB V And, the central area VB M And, rear region VB H It has the front area VB. V It has an upper filling opening 100 that can be closed by a cover 101. As shown in Figure 7a, the reservoir VB engages with the housing B of the electronic control unit ECU at three sides, namely its front ECU-V, its side wall ECU-S, and its rear or rear ECU-H. The rear of ECU-H faces the partition SW. Depending on the design of the unit, the reservoir VB shown in Figure 7a may abut against the rear wall of the housing of the valve device HCU, or engage behind the rear wall.
[0035] Figures 8 and 9 show a side view and a front view of the unit according to the present invention, and these figures correspond to the unit illustrated and described in Figures 1 and 2, apart from the design of the reservoir VB. As can be seen from Figure 8, the front region VB VThe reservoir VB is located in front of the ECU-V on the front side of the housing B of the electronic control unit ECU, making the filler opening more easily accessible. For space reasons, it is generally impractical to place the entire reservoir VB in front of or adjacent to the electronic control unit ECU. Therefore, the present invention realizes that only the narrow central region VBM extends laterally toward the ECU-H, which is adjacent to the housing B and behind the ECU. The central region VBM then widens to form the rear region VBH, which is much larger in volume and is located behind the housing B of the electronic control unit ECU. It is also obviously possible for the reservoir VB to overlap the housing B of the ECU. When the partition SW is positioned at an angle φ with respect to the perpendicular, the front region VBV of the reservoir VB should be designed so that the surface normal of the filling opening 100 is oriented perpendicularly.
