Braking system for a vehicle with a master
brake cylinder (2), a
fluid control unit (3) and at least one wheel
brake (4.1, to 4.4), wherein the
fluid control unit (3) for
brake pressure modulation of the at least one wheel brake (4.1 to 4.4) in at least one brake circuit (10, 20) comprises a switching valve (12, 22), a control valve (50A, 50B) and a return pump (15, 25) for each brake circuit (10, 20), wherein the
control valves (50A, 50B) are each connected in a suction line between the corresponding return pump (15, 25) and the master brake cylinder (2) and limit the effective pressure at a suction side of the respective return pump (15, 25) to a predefinable
maximum pressure value, wherein a first fluid port (51A, 51B) of the respective control valve (50A, 50B) is connected to the The master brake cylinder (2) and a second fluid connection (52A, 52B) of the respective control valve (50A, 50B) are coupled to the respective return pump (15, 25), characterized in thatthat a pressure-relieved port (53A, 53B) of the respective control valve (50A, 50B) is coupled to a fluid accumulator (16, 26), wherein the respective control valve (50A, 50B) comprises a longitudinally movable control
piston (54) which is acted upon on the pressure-relieved side by an actuating spring (55) with a
spring force and in an initial position completely opens a fluid connection between the first fluid port (51A, 51B) and the second fluid port (52A, 52B) with a maximum flow cross-section, wherein a pressure building up at the first fluid port (52A, 52B) moves the control
piston (54) against the
spring force of the actuating spring (55) in the direction of the pressure-relieved port (53A, 53B), wherein the flow cross-section of the fluid connection between the first fluid port (51B) and the second fluid port (52B) 52B) can be reduced by the movement of the control
piston (54), wherein the fluid connection between the first fluid port (51A,51B) and the second fluid port (52A, 52B) is completely interrupted by a stop position at the specified
maximum pressure value at the second fluid port (52A, 52B), and wherein the
spring force of the actuating spring (55) moves the control piston (54) from the stop position back towards the starting position when the current pressure at the second fluid port (52A, 52B) falls below the
maximum pressure value.
