Fig. 5 a, 5b illustrate the other chart of the characteristic quantity of the operating unit according to the present invention, are used to illustrate function of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
The aforementioned structure that is used for the brake actuating unit of operation " brake-by-wire " type motor vehicle braking systems is disclosed in described DE 102004011622 A1 of specification sheets the beginning part.Therefore only illustrate brake servo unit in the drawings with semi-sictional view, described servo-unit is preferably low pressure brake servo unit 1, the control cock 2 of this low pressure brake servo unit 1 can irrespectively be operated by means of electromagnet 10 with the intention of chaufeur on the other hand by means of brake pedal 3 by driver's operation on the one hand.The stroke of the movable wall of brake servo unit 1 is measured by means of displacement pickup (BWS), and the deceleration intention of chaufeur is obtained by means of sensor device (PAS).Because displacement pickup and sensor device are fully open in aforementioned open file, so do not illustrate in the accompanying drawings.Particularly in the mode of operation of " brake-by-wire ", with brake pedal 3 coefficient pedal stroke simulators 4 and electric liquid closing appliance 5 combineds action, described simulator 4 makes chaufeur obtain the brake pedal feel of custom, and described closing appliance 5 cuts out pedal stroke simulator 4 when the mode of operation of non-" brake-by-wire ".Shown in implement, pedal stroke simulator 4 is outside the power transmission stream/power bang path (Kraftfluss) between brake pedal 3 and the brake servo unit 1.
Be used for to be delivered to the control plunger 6 of control cock 2 at the operating effort of brake pedal 3 places introducing with brake pedal 3 bonded assembly piston rods 7, this piston rod 7 is designed to two-part, and comprise with valve piston 6 bonded assembly firsts 8 and with brake pedal 3 bonded assembly second portions 9.Between these two parts 8,9, be provided with endplay " a ", this gap " a " guaranteed in the mode of operation of " brake-by-wire " being connected of the power of between brake pedal 3 and brake servo unit 1, transmitting (can) throw off.
As further illustrating among the figure, the section that first 8 sets to brake pedal 3 is provided with stepped hole 13, and this stepped hole partly holds second portion 9 and is used to guide second portion 9.Here, on action effect, be provided with elastic element 11 between two parts 8,9 like this, that is, and when two parts 8,9 opposite to each other during relative motion or in the drawings when first 8 is moved to the left, described elastic element is compressed.Elastic element 11 is preferably designed to the compression spring 12 that radially surrounds second portion 9.
When the function of the mobility of checking hydraulic piston 52 or shutoff valve 55, the aforementioned electromagnet 10 of control starting.The control assembly that comprises the first 8 of piston rod 7 thus is moved to the left in the drawings, and wherein first 8 drives the second portion 9 of back and drives brake pedal 3 thus by backstop 14 in stroke " b " back of determining.The signal of displacement pickup BWS and the signal of sensor device PAS are compared.Failure-free function is shown in Fig. 2 a, the 2b, wherein Fig. 2 a illustrates the output signal of BWS and PAS, and Fig. 2 b is illustrated in the hydraulic pressure P (THZ) that introduces in the unshowned main brake cylinder that is connected to brake servo unit 1 back and act on operating effort F on the brake pedal 3
BetRelation with operational stroke s.When test process began, the power output of the voltage of BWS and the pressure of master cylinder or brake servo unit raise.Behind the skew LAP, insert the PAS signal, and brake pedal 3 moves with the application force that reduces.
If in detection, break down (piston 52 blocks, valve 55 obstructions, brake pedal 3 kaysers etc.), by having controlled the pre-tensioning spring 12 of motor magnet 10 pressings to aforementioned closing appliance 5.Corresponding characteristic curve is shown in Fig. 3 a, the 3b.
Among second embodiment of content of the present invention shown in Figure 4, the second portion 90 that sets to brake pedal 3 is provided with hole 130, and this bore portion ground is admitted first 80 and is used to guide first.The end away from brake pedal 3 at second portion 90 is provided with lockable mechanism 110, and this mechanics limit first 80 is with respect to the relative motion of second portion 90.In the embodiment shown, described lockable mechanism is made of latch elements 130 two arranged offset, that radially be directed in second portion 90 and the inclined-plane 140 that forms in first 80 at least, and wherein latch elements is designed to the spheroid by means of unshowned tensioned.
To the movability of hydraulic piston 52,60 in other words the function of shutoff valve 55 detection or at each glancing impact or only be before the vehicle entry into service, to carry out in other words in the braking procedure of determining.Here, the control cock 6 of brake servo unit 1 is by means of the 10 control startings of aforementioned electric magnet, thereby the first 80 of control lever 7 is at first to being moved to the left in the drawings.Move through stroke " b " afterwards in first 80, drive second portion 90 and brake pedal 3 by Locking Device 110.After power on acting on brake pedal 30, opposite with direction of operating had increase slightly, first 80 was disengaged with second portion 90, thereby can the danger of pushing not take place owing to carrying mobile brake pedal 3.
When brake system according to the invention is moved, when brake snub or full application of brake under the situation that is moved beyond default stroke in advance of the moving end-wall of brake servo unit 1, be to exist gas or hydraulic efficiency pressure system to have under the situation of leakage in the system, must guarantee that aforementioned safety distance " b " can not use up.In this case, because this pedal will remain on its current position when discharging brake pedal 3, so no longer can make system accept driver intention by discharging brake pedal 3; This means, can not release the brake, and the sensor device (PAS) that detects accelerator travel can not recognize the brake pedal return movement, thereby keep vehicle is braked constantly from its current location.Although the pin of chaufeur is taken away from brake pedal 3, because brake pedal 3 remains on current location by brake servo unit 1, brake pedal 3 can not return automatically.
, carry out credibility between the signal of displacement pickup (BWS) of stroke of moving end-wall of brake servo unit 1 and address inquires to (Plausibilit tsabfrage) obtaining the sensing system of driver intention (PAS) signal and obtain particularly in conjunction with as described in Fig. 3 a, the b as top.If two values that match each other in credibility is addressed inquires to differ very big each other, or above the threshold value of stipulating, the then measure of executive software technology, the effect of described measure is shown in Figure 5, and Fig. 5 shows the relation of the operational stroke s of car retardation V and brake pedal 3.Wherein use V
1Express the feature (curve) of trouble free system, and used V
2Expressed the feature (curve) that the system of aforementioned fault wherein occurred.Shown in the figure of figure tabular form among Fig. 5, can guarantee feature (curve) by " elongation " by suitable software approach, in other words, will distribute to identical deceleration value than long brake-pedal travel s.Therefore,, in normal brake system, only need the pedal stroke s of about 25mm for reaching for example 40% deceleration value, and the pedal stroke s of about 55mm that in having the system of fault, must pass by.Described measure is particularly suitable when occurring not jeopardizing safe fault.
When occurring in the system jeopardizing safe fault, then close pedal stroke simulator 4 in short time, promptly aforementioned valve 55 is opened, thereby under the situation that does not increase operating effort, the operational stroke of long brake pedal 3 that obtains realizing this moment.The performance of system is shown in Fig. 5 b.Wherein by F
1The feature of expression trouble free system, and by F
2The system of aforementioned fault wherein appears in expression.
When this phenomenon occurring, produce warning signal vision or sound, thus driver, braking function is in the improper state, and it can mean, exists too much air or this state to be caused by leakage in the system.
