A hydraulic unit of an electronic control brake system is disclosed. The hydraulic unit of the electronic control brake system includes a modulator block having a plurality of accommodating bores in which a plurality of valves and pressure sensors coupled to a master cylinder to control braking hydraulic pressure supplied towards vehicle wheels are installed. Passages connecting between the accommodating bores are formed in the modulator block, and the passages are formed to be divided into two layers.

An electropneumatic pilot unit for controlling a pneumatic consumer is provided herein. The pilot unit comprises at least two electromagnetic pilot valves. Each of the electromagnetic pilot valves comprises a coil for producing a magnetic flux along a valve axis, an armature which can be moved in the axial direction of the valve axis, a valve seat which can be closed and opened by the armature, and a pneumatic inlet port and a pneumatic outlet port. At least two of the pilot valves lie next to each other with parallel valve axes. Each pilot valve has a port which protrudes towards a common underside for connection to a pilot chamber of the consumer controlled by the pilot valves.

An electronic control device is provided with a hydraulic control block made of an aluminum alloy, a synthetic-resin component holder configured to hold electronic components such as a pressure sensor, and a printed board for controlling driving of hydraulic control apparatus via the component holder. Electrode terminals of the pressure sensor are connected to the printed board, a terminal configuration part of an electroconductive member, which is inserted into an insertion hole of a body wall of the component holder, is connected to a negative electrode wiring of the printed board, and the outer end edge of an elastic contact part of the electroconductive member is brought into elastic-contact with the hydraulic control block, to establish conduction therebetween. Hence, the electric potential difference between the pressure sensor and the hydraulic control block can be canceled, thus reducing an electrical noise of the pressure sensor.

A printed circuit board comprises a board main body, a sensor, an external connection pad, and a hollow-structured electrical conductor. The board main body has a top face and a bottom face opposite the top face. The sensor is mounted on one of the top face and the bottom face of the board main body. The external connection pad is provided on the top face or the bottom face of the board main body opposite the sensor. The hollow-structured electrical conductor extends through the board main body and electrically connects the sensor to the external connection pad.

An electric component assembly includes a housing with which an electric component is fitted, and the electric component and the housing are fixed to one surface of a base body. The electric component includes a connection terminal press-fitted to a through-hole (201a) of a board provided in the housing, and an insertion direction of the connection terminal into the through-hole is a fitting direction of the electric component with the housing. The electric component assembly includes a rib which is protrudingly provided on either one of an outer surface of the electric component intersecting the fitting direction and an inner surface of the housing facing the outer surface, and a groove portion which is provided as a recess on another one of the surfaces and the rib is inserted into; and a protrusion that abuts onto the rib is provided on an inner surface of the groove portion.

An electro-pneumatic two-channel axle modulator (1) for utility vehicles has a first supply port (2) for connecting a first compressed air supply (3) and a second supply port (4) for connecting a second compressed air supply (5), a front axle channel port (6), a rear axle channel port (8), an electro-pneumatic front axle valve assembly (10) connected to the first supply port (2) for controlling a front axle brake pressure (pVA) at the front axle channel port (6), and an electro-pneumatic rear axle valve assembly (12) connected to the second supply port (4) for controlling a rear axle brake pressure (pHA) at the rear axle channel port (8). A first redundancy valve assembly (14) is connected to the second supply port (4) for controlling a redundant front axle brake pressure (pVAR) at the front axle channel port (6).

An electromagnetic valve device having a fluid inlet port (1), which is formed in a valve casing (10), for a fluid to be switched, in particular pneumatic fluid, a working port (2), which is realized in the valve casing, for the fluid and locking component(s) (14), which are moveably guided in the valve casing along an axial direction and which are realized for interacting with a valve seat (26) formed in the valve casing and opening a fluid flow path between the fluid inlet port and the working port and which are moveably realized via fluid switched by means of electromagnetic positioning means (32).

A modular EAB system that reduces the number of individualized modules but provides the desired functionality using a configuration module that is coupled to a plurality of brake system control modules and has a receptacle interface configured to engage a series of modular sections that can be selected from a variety of options to perform dedicated air brake functions. The dedicated air brake functions included comprise brake pipe cutout, equalizing reservoir backup, brake pipe emergency, automatic flow calibration, dead engine regulator, dynamic brake interlock, emergency limiting valve regulation, dynamic brake interlock and emergency limiting valve regulation, 20 pipe back up, and brake cylinder cutout.

The invention relates to a valve arrangement (10) comprising valves and coil arrangements (20), each coil arrangement (20) having two coils (110, 210) which are electrically connected to separate control units (100, 200). Each valve can be independently actuated by either the first coil (110) or the second coil (210) of the coil arrangement (20) associated therewith. The invention further relates to a brake system (400, 500) having such a valve arrangement (10).

A hydraulic power brake system (1) of a wheeled vehicle or for a vehicle unit has a main brake line (20, 21), in which a setpoint brake pressure can be controlled via a brake valve (4) that is operated via a brake pedal (7), and from which an axle brake line or a wheel brake line (46, 49, 50) branches off. Inlet valves and outlet valves and a pilot control valve of the ABS control system for the vehicle unit or for each vehicle axle are respectively disposed together in an ABS modulator block (69), which also includes a temperature sensor (70, 71, 72) for detecting the oil temperature (T) and a heating element (73, 74, 75) for locally heating the hydraulic oil are disposed in each ABS modulator block (69).
