Brake system for a motor vehicle and two methods for operating the brake system
A brake system for a motor vehicle having hydraulically actuatable wheel brakes. Each wheel an electrically actuatable inlet valve and electrically actuatable outlet valve for setting wheel-specific brake pressures. A first electrically controllable pressure provision device is connected to a brake supply line to which the wheel brakes are connected. A second electrically controllable pressure provision device is connected to the brake supply line. A first electrical device activates the first pressure provision device. A second electrical device activates the second pressure provision device. Electrically independent first and second electrical partitions are provided. The first pressure provision device and the first electrical device are assigned to the first electrical partition and the second pressure provision device, the second electrical device and the inlet and outlet valves are assigned to the second electrical partition. The inlet and outlet valves are activated by the second electrical device.
BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A BRAKE SYSTEM
A brake system may include a first pressure supply unit having an electromotive drive and arranged to supply pressure medium to first and second brake circuits; a motor-pump unit to supply pressure medium to at least one of the brake circuits; a second pressure supply unit, connected to the motor-pump unit via first and second hydraulic lines and arranged to supply pressure medium to at least one of the brake circuits; and a valve unit. The second pressure supply unit may be connected via a third hydraulic line to at least one of the brake circuits. The valve unit may include at least one feed valve via which the third hydraulic line may be at least partially reversibly shut off. An isolating valve may be disposed in at least one of the hydraulic lines to at least partially reversibly shut off the at least one hydraulic line.
Variable-torque emergency brake device
An emergency braking device including an actuator (2), a pressurizing circuit (3) supplying the actuator (2) via a control pressure and a discharge circuit (4).

Brake-by-wire system based on dual-motor configuration and operation methods thereof
A brake control system of a vehicle, including a first electric motor, a second electric motor, a first piston cylinder and a second piston cylinder. Each piston cylinder includes a hydraulic chamber and a piston, where the position of the piston defines the volume of the hydraulic chamber. The system includes a plurality of wheel cylinders and a hydraulic control unit which includes two sets of electromagnetic valves. Each of electric motors are mechanically connected to the piston of respective piston cylinder via a motion converter that converts rotational motion of the electric motor to linear motion of the piston, thus changing the pressure of the hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic chambers are hydraulically connected with the respective set of the electromagnetic valves, further connecting to corresponding wheel cylinders.
