Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brake actuation device for a parking brake for motor vehicles, with a hand brake lever, which acts on two wheel brakes via two brake cables.
  • actuation is often perceived as uncomfortable, since a high actuating force for actuating the handbrake lever must be manually applied by the driver, in particular to lock the vehicle on a downhill road.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a more comfortable brake actuation device for a parking brake, in which in particular the force for actuating the hand brake lever is low.
  • the solution to the problem results from the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • the solution according to the invention essentially consists in additionally providing an electric motor for actuating the handbrake lever, which applies at least part of the actuating force.
  • the driver need only exert little or no actuating force.
  • the brake actuation device could be actuated simply by an electrical switch.
  • the swivel bearing axis of the handbrake lever is provided with a large gearwheel in which a small pinion of the electric motor engages.
  • the arrangement mentioned represents a reduction gear in order to multiply the relatively low force of the electric motor for actuating the parking brakes.
  • a particularly space-saving arrangement results from arranging the motor axis next to the hand brake lever and perpendicular to the pivot bearing axis. Such an arrangement can easily be accommodated in the center console of a vehicle.
  • a particularly convenient adjustment of the amplification force of the electric motor is obtained by arranging a potentiometer which detects the position of the handbrake lever and controls the desired amplification force by means of the associated motor current.
  • a mechanical locking of the hand brake lever in the braking position can be unlocked by means of an electromechanical lifting magnet.
  • an electromechanical lifting magnet Such an arrangement makes the parking brake fully electrically controllable by remote control. This results in additional application possibilities of the parking brake actuation, for example an automatically controlled release when starting the vehicle on the mountain or an automatic application of the brake when the vehicle threatens to roll backwards.
  • the hand brake lever is additionally rotatable about its longitudinal axis, whereby one of the two cable pulls is tensioned depending on the direction of rotation.
  • the handbrake is then actuated, only one wheel brake is selectively actuated. In this way a spinning drive wheel can be braked selectively in order to increase the driving force on the other drive wheel.
  • the handbrake acts as a differential lock.
  • the wear of the friction linings in the wheel brakes can be determined from the actuation path of the brake actuation device by measuring the motor current in relation to the angle of rotation about the pivot bearing axis.
  • the motor current is essentially proportional to the actuation force, while the angle of rotation is essentially proportional to the actuation path.
  • the actuation path until the brakes fully respond increases with increasing wear of the friction linings.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a brake actuation device according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the same device.
  • the brake actuation device has a hand brake lever 1 which is connected to a pivot bearing axis 2 and is pivotably mounted by means of this.
  • the pivot bearing axis 2 has a bolt section 3 to which the hand brake lever 1 and two brake cables 4, 5 are fastened.
  • the brake cables 4,5 are partially wrapped around the bolt section 3.
  • a large gear 6 is attached to the pivot bearing axis 2 to the side of the hand brake lever 1.
  • An electric motor 7 is also attached laterally next to the hand brake lever 1, so that the motor axis 8 is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 9 of the handbrake lever 1 is arranged in the release position.
  • the motor axis 8 is perpendicular to the pivot bearing axis 2.
  • a small pinion 10 of the electric motor 7 engages in the gear 6.
  • the operation can be carried out fully manually without the support of the electric motor 7, in that the driver grips a handle 11 of the handbrake lever 1 and pulls it in the direction of actuation 12.
  • the pivot bearing axis 2 rotates and winds the two brake cables 4, 5 so that they move in the pulling direction 13.
  • the brake cables 4,5 lead to two wheel brakes which are actuated by the brake cables 4,5.
  • a mechanical lock not shown in more detail, then holds the hand brake lever 1 in the braking position, even if the manual actuating force decreases in the direction of actuation 12.
  • the driver can release the handbrake by pressing a release button 14 and then bringing the handbrake lever 1 back into the release position against the actuation direction 12.
  • the position of the hand brake lever 1 is detected by a potentiometer (not shown) and an associated motor current is controlled by the electric motor 7 depending on the desired boosting force.
  • the pinion 10 of the electric motor 7 rotates and transmits the rotary movement on the large gear 6, the engine power being multiplied.
  • the gear wheel 6 in turn rotates the pivot bearing axis 2 and thus applies part of the actuating force for tensioning the brake cables 4, 5 in the direction 13.
  • the actuation of the parking brake can, however, also be controlled completely electrically by supplying the motor with power through an electrical switch which is accommodated elsewhere. In this case, the brake cables 4, 5 are tensioned without the driver touching the hand brake lever 1.
  • the handbrake lever 1 can also be released done remotely electromechanically by unlocking the mechanical locking of the hand brake lever 1 by means of a lifting magnet 15.
  • the hand brake lever 1 is rotatable about its longitudinal axis 9.
  • one of the brake cables 4, 5 wound at point 16 around hand brake lever 1 is preferably pretensioned.
  • the handbrake lever 1 is subsequently actuated in the actuation direction 12, only one of the two brake cables 4, 5 is selectively actuated.
