Die Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2016 201 047 A1 offenbart eine hydraulische Fremdkraft-Fahrzeugbremsanlage mit einer Schlupfregelung, die einen elektrohydraulischen Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger in einem Druckerzeugungsmodul und ein Magnetventile und Rückförderpumpen aufweisendes Druckregelmodul zu einer Schlupfregelung aufweist, das an das Druckerzeugungsmodul angeschlossen ist. Für eine Muskelkraftbetätigung weist die bekannte Fahrzeugbremsanlage einen Hauptbremszylinder auf, der in das Druckerzeugungsmodul integriert ist. The published application DE 10 2016 201 047 A1 discloses a hydraulic externally powered vehicle brake system with slip control, which has an electrohydraulic externally powered brake pressure generator in a pressure generating module and a pressure control module having solenoid valves and return pumps for slip control, which is connected to the pressure generating module.

Die Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2018 212 850 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zur Prüfung einer Funktionsfähigkeit einer schlupfgeregelten hydraulischen Fremdkraft- Fahrzeugbremsanlage. Dabei wird in jedem Bremskreis separat Bremsflüssigkeit mit einem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger durch einen nicht betätigten Hauptbremszylinder in einen drucklosen Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter gefördert. Ein nicht öffnendes Trennventil, durch das ein Bremskreis an den Hauptbremszylinder angeschlossen ist und das bei einer als Fremdkraftbremsung durchgeführten Betriebsbremsung nicht unbedingt bemerkt wird, wird mit dem Verfahren zur Prüfung der Funktionsfähigkeit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage durch einen Druckanstieg festgestellt. Ein Nachteil des bekannten Verfahrens ist, dass Bremsflüssig-
keit aus dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger durch geöffnete Einlassventile in hydraulische Radbremsen der Fahrzeugbremsanlage strömt, was einen Druckaufbau verzögert und die Prüfung beeinträchtigt. Um diesen Volumenabfluss zu unterbinden, können während der Prüfung Einlassventile hydraulischer Radbremsen im jewiligen Bremskreis geschlossen werden.

In each brake circuit, brake fluid is pumped separately into an unpressurized brake fluid reservoir by an externally powered brake pressure generator through a non-actuated master brake cylinder. A non-opening separating valve, through which a brake circuit is connected to the master brake cylinder and which is not necessarily noticed when service braking is carried out as power braking, is detected by a pressure increase using the procedure for testing the functionality of the vehicle brake system.

Offenbarung der Erfindung Disclosure of Invention
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ist zu einer Durchführung eines Funktionstests in einem Druckerzeugungsmodul einer hydraulischen Fremdkraft-Fahrzeugbremsanlage vorgesehen, die vorzugsweise eine Schlupfregelung aufweist. Der Funktionstest dient einer Prüfung einer Funktionsfähigkeit des Druckerzeugungsmoduls oder von hydraulischen Komponenten, beispielsweise von Magnetventilen oder Rückschlagventilen des Druckerzeugungsmoduls. The method according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is provided for carrying out a function test in a pressure generation module of a hydraulic, externally powered vehicle brake system, which preferably has a slip control system. The function test is used to test the functionality of the pressure generation module or hydraulic components, for example solenoid valves or check valves of the pressure generation module.
Das Druckerzeugungsmodul weist einen insbesondere elektrohydraulischen Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger auf. Der Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger weist beispielsweise eine Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit auf, deren Kolben zur Erzeugung eines Bremsdrucks mit Fremdkraft mittels eines Elektromotors über ein Schraubgetriebe oder ein anderes Rotations-/? ranslations-Wandelgetriebe in einem Zylinder der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit verschiebbar ist. Eine andere Möglichkeit eines Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers ist eine mit einem Elektromotor antreibbaren Hydropumpe, beispielsweise eine Kolbenpumpe oder eine (Innen-) Zahnradpumpe. The pressure generation module has an in particular electrohydraulic externally powered brake pressure generator. The external force brake pressure generator has, for example, a piston-cylinder unit, the piston of which is used to generate a brake pressure with external force by means of an electric motor via a helical gear or another rotary /? ranslations-converter transmission is displaceable in a cylinder of the piston-cylinder unit. Another option for an externally powered brake pressure generator is a hydraulic pump that can be driven by an electric motor, for example a piston pump or an (internal) gear pump.
Durch ein Anschlussventil, das in das Druckerzeugungsmodul oder in ein Druckregelmodul integriert sein kann, ist das Druckregelmodul an das Druckerzeugungsmodul angeschlossen. Das Druckregelmodul dient einer Regelung des Bremsdrucks und vorzugsweise einer Schlupfregelung, es weist Ventile, insbesondere Magnetventile wie Einlassventile und Auslassventile für hydraulische Radbremsen, die an das Druckregelmodul angeschlossen sind, und gegebenenfalls weitere hydraulische Komponenten, beispielsweise Hydrospeicher und/oder Hydropumpen auf. Das Anschlussventil ist in Fremdkraft-Fahrzeugbremsanlagen mit einem Druckerzeugsmodul und einem Druckregelmodul normaler Weise vorhanden, weswegen das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren normaler Weise kein zu-
sätzliches Ventil und auch keine andere Modifikation der jeweiligen Fremdkraft- Fahrzeugbremsanlage erfordert. The pressure control module is connected to the pressure generation module by a connecting valve, which can be integrated into the pressure generation module or into a pressure control module. The pressure control module is used to control the brake pressure and preferably a slip control, it has valves, in particular solenoid valves such as inlet valves and outlet valves for hydraulic wheel brakes, which are connected to the pressure control module, and optionally other hydraulic components, such as hydraulic accumulators and / or hydraulic pumps. The connecting valve is normally present in third-party vehicle brake systems with a pressure generator module and a pressure control module, which is why the method according to the invention normally does not additional valve and no other modification of the respective power vehicle brake system required.
Die Schlupfregelung ist insbesondere eine Blockierschutz-, Antriebsschlupf- und/oder Fahrdynamikregelung, für die die Abkürzungen ABS, ASR und/oder FDR gebräuchlich sind. Solche Schlupfregelungen sind bekannt und werden hier nicht erläutert. The slip control is in particular an anti-lock, traction slip and/or driving dynamics control, for which the abbreviations ABS, ASR and/or FDR are used. Such slip regulations are known and are not explained here.
Zur Durchführung des Funktionstests wird ein Bremsdruck mit dem Fremdkraft- Bremsdruckerzeuger erzeugt und/oder es wird Bremsflüssigkeit mit dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger gefördert oder aus dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger verdrängt. Damit während des Funktionstests keine Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Druckerzeugungsmodul in das Druckregelmodul oder in die hydraulischen Radbremsen abfließt, was einen Druckverlauf während des Funktionstests beeinflussen und den Funktionstest beeinträchtigen würde, sieht die Erfindung vor, mit dem Fremdkraftbremsdruckerzeuger oder einer Hydropumpe des Druckregelmoduls einen Bremsdruck in dem Druckregelmodul und vorzugsweise auch in den Radbremsen zu erzeugen und anschließend wahlweise das Anschlussventil, durch das das Druckregelmodul an das Druckerzeugungsmodul angeschlossen ist, und/oder die Einlassventile der Radbremsen zu schließen. Das Druckregelmodul oder jedenfalls die Radbremsen werden dadurch hydraulisch vom Druckerzeugungsmodul getrennt und der Bremsdruck wird im Druckregelmodul oder jedenfalls in den Radbremsen eingeschlossen. Anschließend wird der Funktionstest in dem Druckerzeugungsmodul durchgeführt, wobei die Erzeugung des Bremsdrucks mit dem Fremdkraftbremsdruckerzeuger und das Einschließen des Bremsdrucks im Druckregelmodul oder in den Radbremsen als Bestandteile des Funktionstests oder als den Funktionstest vorbereitende Verfahrensschritte aufgefasst werden können. To carry out the function test, a brake pressure is generated with the externally-powered brake pressure generator and/or brake fluid is pumped with the externally-powered brake-pressure generator or displaced from the externally-powered brake pressure generator. So that no brake fluid flows out of the pressure generation module into the pressure control module or into the hydraulic wheel brakes during the function test, which would affect a pressure curve during the function test and impair the function test, the invention provides for brake pressure in the pressure control module with the power brake pressure generator or a hydraulic pump of the pressure control module and preferably also in the wheel brakes and then selectively to close the connection valve, through which the pressure control module is connected to the pressure generation module, and/or the inlet valves of the wheel brakes. The pressure control module or at least the wheel brakes are thereby hydraulically separated from the pressure generation module and the brake pressure is included in the pressure control module or at least in the wheel brakes. The function test is then carried out in the pressure generation module, whereby the generation of the brake pressure with the power brake pressure generator and the inclusion of the brake pressure in the pressure control module or in the wheel brakes can be regarded as components of the function test or as process steps that prepare the function test.
Es kann der hydraulische Bremsdruck in der Fahrzeugbremsanlage während der Durchführung des Funktionstests gemessen werden. Insbesondere wird eine Abhängigkeit des Druckverlaufs von einer mit dem Fremdkraft- Bremsdruckerzeuger geförderten Bremsflüssigkeitsmenge beurteilt werden, die bei funktionsfähiger Fahrzeugbremsanlage eine andere als bei beispielsweise nicht wie vorgesehen schaltenden Ventilen ist.
Die Erfindung vermeidet eine Beeinflussung des Funktionstests im Druckerzeugungsmodul durch das Druckregelmodul oder die hydraulischen Radbremsen.The hydraulic brake pressure in the vehicle brake system can be measured while the function test is being carried out. In particular, a dependency of the pressure profile on a quantity of brake fluid delivered by the externally powered brake pressure generator is assessed, which is different when the vehicle brake system is functional than when the valves are not switching as intended, for example. The invention avoids the function test in the pressure generation module being influenced by the pressure control module or the hydraulic wheel brakes.
Mit dem Funktionstest werden beispielsweise eine Funktionsfähigkeit von hydraulischen Komponenten des Druckerzeugungsmoduls geprüft. The function test is used, for example, to check the functionality of hydraulic components of the pressure-generating module.

The single figure shows a hydraulic circuit diagram of a vehicle brake system that is powered by an external vehicle for carrying out the method according to the invention.
Ausführungsform der Erfindung embodiment of the invention
Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte hydraulische Fremdkraft-Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ist eine Zweikreis-Fahrzeugbremsanlage mit einer Schlupfregelung. Die Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 weist ein Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 und ein Druckregelmodul 3 auf, das an das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 angeschlossen ist. An das Druckregelmodul 3 sind hydraulische Radbremsen 22 angeschlossen. The hydraulic externally powered vehicle brake system 1 shown in the drawing is a dual-circuit vehicle brake system with slip control. The vehicle brake system 1 has a pressure generation module 2 and a pressure control module 3 which is connected to the pressure generation module 2 . Hydraulic wheel brakes 22 are connected to the pressure control module 3 .
Das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 weist einen Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 mit einer Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 5 auf, deren Kolben 6 zur Erzeugung eines Bremsdrucks mit Fremdkraft mittels eines Elektromotors 7 über ein Schraubgetriebe 8 in einem Zylinder 9 der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 5 des Fremdkraft- Bremsdruckerzeugers 4 verschiebbar ist. Die Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 5 beziehungsweise der Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 insgesamt kann auch als Plunger-Einheit, ihr Kolben 6 als Plungerkolben und ihr Zylinder 9 als Plungerzylinder bezeichnet werden.
Zu einer Hilfsbremsung bei Ausfall des Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers 4 weist das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 einen Zweikreis-Hauptbremszylinder 10 auf, der- mittels eines Fußbremspedals 11 oder wahlweise mittels eines Handbremshebels (nicht dargestellt) mit Muskelkraft betätigbar ist. The pressure generation module 2 has an external power brake pressure generator 4 with a piston-cylinder unit 5, the piston 6 for generating a brake pressure with external power by means of an electric motor 7 via a helical gear 8 in a cylinder 9 of the piston-cylinder unit 5 of the external power Brake pressure generator 4 is displaceable. The piston-cylinder unit 5 or the power brake pressure generator 4 as a whole can also be referred to as a plunger unit, its piston 6 as a plunger piston and its cylinder 9 as a plunger cylinder. For auxiliary braking in the event of failure of the external brake pressure generator 4, the pressure generation module 2 has a dual-circuit master brake cylinder 10, which can be actuated with muscle power by means of a foot brake pedal 11 or optionally by means of a hand brake lever (not shown).
Bei einer Betriebsbremsung, bei der der Bremsdruck mit dem Fremdkraft- Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 erzeugt wird, dient der Hauptbremszylinder 10 als Sollwertgeber für den mit dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 zu erzeugenden Bremsdruck. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Drucksensor 12 an den Hauptbremszylinder 10 angeschlossen. During service braking, in which the brake pressure is generated by the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 , the master brake cylinder 10 serves as a setpoint generator for the brake pressure to be generated by the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 . A pressure sensor 12 is connected to the master brake cylinder 10 for this purpose.
Bei einer Betriebsbremsung wird der Hauptbremszylinder 10 durch Schließen von Trennventilen 18 hydraulisch von der übrigen Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 getrennt. Um während der Betriebsbremsung trotzdem Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Hauptbremszylinder 10 verdrängen und dadurch Hauptbremszylinderkolben und das Fußbremspedal 11 bewegen zu können, ist ein Pedalwegsimulator 13 über ein Simulatorventil 14 an den Hauptbremszylinder 10 angeschlossen. Der Pedalwegsimulator 13 ist eine Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit mit einem federbeaufschlagten Kolben, in deren Zylinder die Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Hauptbremszylinder 10 verdrängbar ist, wenn die Trennventile 18 geschlossen sind und das Simulatorventil 14 offen ist. During service braking, master brake cylinder 10 is hydraulically separated from the rest of the vehicle brake system 1 by closing isolating valves 18 . In order to be able to displace brake fluid from master brake cylinder 10 during service braking and thus be able to move master brake cylinder pistons and foot brake pedal 11 , a pedal travel simulator 13 is connected to master brake cylinder 10 via a simulator valve 14 . The pedal travel simulator 13 is a piston-cylinder unit with a spring-loaded piston into whose cylinder the brake fluid can be displaced from the master brake cylinder 10 when the isolating valves 18 are closed and the simulator valve 14 is open.
Der Hauptbremszylinder 10 und der Pedalwegsimulator 13 sind wie der Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 in das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 integriert. The master brake cylinder 10 and the pedal travel simulator 13 are integrated in the pressure generation module 2 like the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 .
Auf das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 ist ein druckloser Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter 15 aufgesetzt, an den der Hauptbremszylinder 10 und der Zylinder 9 des Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers 4, letzterer durch ein Fremdkraftventil 16, angeschlossen sind. On the pressure generation module 2, an unpressurized brake fluid reservoir 15 is placed, to which the master cylinder 10 and the cylinder 9 of the power brake pressure generator 4, the latter through a power valve 16, are connected.
Das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 weist in jedem Bremskreis sowohl für den Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 als auch für den Hauptbremszylinder 10 ein Trennventil 17, 18 auf, durch die das Druckregelmodul 3 an das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 ist beziehungsweise die Bremskreise des Druckregelmoduls 3 an die Bremskreise des Druckerzeugungsmoduls 2 angeschlossen sind. The pressure generation module 2 has in each brake circuit both for the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 and for the master brake cylinder 10 an isolating valve 17, 18, through which the pressure control module 3 is connected to the pressure generation module 2 or the brake circuits of the pressure control module 3 are connected to the brake circuits of the pressure generation module 2 are.
Außerdem sind Rückschlagventile 19 in das Druckerzeugungsmodul 3 integriert, die den Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter 15 mit dem Fremdkraft-
Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 und dem Hauptbremszylinder 10 abgewandten Seiten der Trennventile 17, 18 verbinden und die vom Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter 15 in Richtung der Trennventile 17, 18 und damit zum Druckregelmodul 3 durchströmbar sind. In addition, check valves 19 are integrated into the pressure generation module 3, the brake fluid reservoir 15 with the external power Connect brake pressure generator 4 and the master cylinder 10 facing away from the sides of the isolation valves 17, 18 and the brake fluid reservoir 15 in the direction of the isolation valves 17, 18 and thus to the pressure control module 3 can flow through.
Und das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 weist einen Drucksensor 20 auf, der an den Zylinder 9 des Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers 4 angeschlossen ist. And the pressure generation module 2 has a pressure sensor 20 which is connected to the cylinder 9 of the power brake pressure generator 4 .
Das Druckregelmodul 3 ist in jedem Bremskreis durch ein Anschlussventil 21 an das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 angeschlossen. The pressure control module 3 is connected to the pressure generation module 2 in each brake circuit by a connection valve 21 .
Die hydraulischen Radbremsen 22 sind durch je ein Einlassventil 23 an das Druckregelmodul 3 angeschlossen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 vier Radbremsen 22 auf, von denen jeweils zwei an einen Bremskreis angeschlossen sind. The hydraulic wheel brakes 22 are each connected to the pressure control module 3 by an inlet valve 23 . In the exemplary embodiment, the vehicle brake system 1 has four wheel brakes 22, two of which are connected to a brake circuit.
In jedem Bremskreis sind die Radbremsen 22 durch ein Auslassventil 24 je Radbremse 22 an eine Saugseite einer Hydropumpe 25 angeschlossen, die auch als Rückförderpumpe bezeichnet werden kann. Die Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 weist in jedem Bremskreis eine Hydropumpe 25 auf, die gemeinsam mit einem Elektromotor 26 antreibbar sind. Druckseiten der Hydropumpen 25 sind zwischen den Anschlussventilen 21 und den Einlassventilen 23 angeschlossen. In each brake circuit, the wheel brakes 22 are connected through an outlet valve 24 for each wheel brake 22 to a suction side of a hydraulic pump 25, which can also be referred to as a return pump. The vehicle brake system 1 has a hydraulic pump 25 in each brake circuit, which can be driven together with an electric motor 26 . Pressure sides of the hydraulic pumps 25 are connected between the connection valves 21 and the inlet valves 23 .
Hydraulisch parallel zu den Anschlussventilen 21 sind die Saugseiten der Hydropumpen 25 durch ein Ansaugventil 27 in jedem Bremskreis an das Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 angeschlossen, so dass die Hydropumpen 25 des Druckregelmoduls 3 für einen schnellen Bremsdruckaufbau Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter 15 durch die Rückschlagventile 19 im Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 und die Ansaugventile 27 im Druckregelmodul 3 ansaugen können. Hydraulically parallel to the connecting valves 21, the suction sides of the hydraulic pumps 25 are connected to the pressure generation module 2 by an intake valve 27 in each brake circuit, so that the hydraulic pumps 25 of the pressure control module 3 can pump brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir 15 through the check valves 19 in the pressure generation module 2 and the suction valves 27 in the pressure control module 3 can suck.
Die Anschlussventile 21, Einlassventile 23, Auslassventile 24 und die Ansaugventile und die Hydropumpen 25 sind in das Druckregelmodul 3 integriert. The connecting valves 21, inlet valves 23, outlet valves 24 and the intake valves and the hydraulic pumps 25 are integrated into the pressure control module 3.
Die Hydropumpen 25, Einlassventile 23 und Auslassventile 24 bilden Bremsdruckregelventilanordnungen, mit denen radindividuelle Schlupfregelungen wie Blockierschutzregelung, Antriebsschlupfregelung und Fahrdynamikregelung durchführbar sind. Diese Schlupfregelungen werden üblicherweise mit ABS, ASR
und FDR abgekürzt. Solche Schlupfregelungen sind bekannt und werden hier nicht erläutert. The hydraulic pumps 25, inlet valves 23 and outlet valves 24 form brake pressure control valve arrangements with which wheel-specific slip control such as anti-lock control, traction control and vehicle dynamics control can be carried out. These slip controls are usually associated with ABS, ASR and FDR abbreviated. Such slip regulations are known and are not explained here.
Das Simulatorventil 14, das Fremdkraftventil 16, die Trennventile 17, 18, die Anschlussventile 21 , die Einlassventile 23, die Auslassventile 24 und die Ansaugventile 27 sind 2/2-Wege-Magnetventile, wobei die Trennventile 18 des Hauptbremszylinders 10, die Anschlussventile 21 und die Einlassventile 23 in ihren stromlosen Grundstellungen offen und das Simulatorventil 14, das Fremdkraftventil 16, die Auslassventile 24 und die Ansaugventile 27 in ihren stromlosen Grundstellungen geschlossen sind. The simulator valve 14, the external power valve 16, the isolating valves 17, 18, the connection valves 21, the inlet valves 23, the outlet valves 24 and the intake valves 27 are 2/2-way solenoid valves, the isolating valves 18 of the master brake cylinder 10, the connection valves 21 and the inlet valves 23 are open in their currentless basic positions and the simulator valve 14, the power valve 16, the outlet valves 24 and the intake valves 27 are closed in their currentless basic positions.
Zur Durchführung eines Funktionstests des Druckerzeugungsmoduls 2 oder von hydraulischen Komponenten des Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 wird erfindungsgemäß ein Bremsdruck mit dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 erzeugt. Dabei sind oder werden die Trennventile 17 des Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers 4, die Anschlussventile 21 und die Einlassventile 24 geöffnet, so dass der mit dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4 erzeugte Bremsdruck das Druckregelmodul 3 und die Radbremsen 22 beaufschlagt. Die Trennventile 18 des Hauptbremszylinders 10 werden geschlossen, damit keine Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Zylinder 9 des Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeugers 4 in den Hauptbremszylinder 10 und durch den Hauptbremszylinder 10 in den Bremsflüssigkeitsvorratsbehälter 15 verdrängt wird. Die Auslassventile 24 bleiben geschlossen, damit keine Bremsflüssigkeit aus den Radbremsen 22 austritt. In order to carry out a functional test of the pressure generation module 2 or of hydraulic components of the pressure generation module 2, a brake pressure is generated with the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 according to the invention. The isolating valves 17 of the externally powered brake pressure generator 4, the connection valves 21 and the inlet valves 24 are or are opened, so that the brake pressure generated by the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 acts on the pressure control module 3 and the wheel brakes 22. The isolating valves 18 of the master brake cylinder 10 are closed so that no brake fluid is displaced from the cylinder 9 of the externally powered brake pressure generator 4 into the master brake cylinder 10 and through the master brake cylinder 10 into the brake fluid reservoir 15 . The outlet valves 24 remain closed so that no brake fluid escapes from the wheel brakes 22 .
Danach werden die Anschlussventile 21 geschlossen, so dass das Druckregelmodul 3 hydraulisch von dem Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 oder die Radbremsen 22 hydraulisch von dem Druckregelmodul 3 getrennt werden und der Bremsdruck sozusagen in dem Druckregelmodul 3 oder in den Radbremsen 22 „eingeschlossen“ wird. Anstelle der Anschlussventile 21 können auch die Einlassventilen 23 geschlossen werden, wenn ihnen kein Rückschlagventil hydraulische parallel geschaltet ist. The connection valves 21 are then closed so that the pressure control module 3 is hydraulically separated from the pressure generation module 2 or the wheel brakes 22 are hydraulically separated from the pressure control module 3 and the brake pressure is “locked in” in the pressure control module 3 or in the wheel brakes 22, so to speak. Instead of the connecting valves 21, the inlet valves 23 can also be closed if no hydraulic check valve is connected in parallel with them.
Jetzt kann der Funktionstest des Druckerzeugungsmoduls 2 durchgeführt werden, ohne dass Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 in das Druckregelmodul 3 oder jedenfalls in die Radbremsen 22 fließt, was eine Druckmessung im Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 während des Funktionstests beeinflussen und den Funktionstest stören oder sogar verhindern würde. Gemessen werden
kann beispielsweise ein Druckaufbau mit dem Fremdkraft-Bremsdruckerzeuger 4, ob der Bremsdruck gehalten wird, das heißt ob die Trennventile 17, 18 und die Rückschlagventile 19 dicht sind, und ob der Bremsdruck sinkt, wenn die Trennventile 17, 18 geöffnet werden, das heißt ob die Trennventile 17, 18 wie vorge- sehen öffnen. The function test of the pressure generation module 2 can now be carried out without brake fluid flowing from the pressure generation module 2 into the pressure control module 3 or at least into the wheel brakes 22, which would affect a pressure measurement in the pressure generation module 2 during the function test and disrupt the function test or even prevent it. be measured For example, a pressure build-up with the externally powered brake pressure generator 4, whether the brake pressure is maintained, i.e. whether the isolating valves 17, 18 and the check valves 19 are tight, and whether the brake pressure drops when the isolating valves 17, 18 are opened, i.e. whether open the isolating valves 17, 18 as intended.
Bei einer Undichtigkeit der geschlossenen Anschlussventile 21 oder der geschlossenen Einlassventile 23 verhindert der im Druckregelmodul 3 und/oder in den Radbremsen 22 einschschlossene Bremsdruck ein Ausströmen von Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Druckerzeugungsmodul 2 in das Druckregelmodul 3 oder in die Radbremsen 22. If the closed connection valves 21 or the closed inlet valves 23 leak, the brake pressure trapped in the pressure control module 3 and/or in the wheel brakes 22 prevents brake fluid from flowing out of the pressure generation module 2 into the pressure control module 3 or into the wheel brakes 22.
Während des Funktionstests sollte ein mit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ausgestattetes Fahrzeug stehen, weil die Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 während des Funktionstests mit Druck beaufschlagt wird und deswegen keine reguläre Betätigung der Radbremsen 22 möglich ist beziehungsweise eine Betätigung der Fahrzeug- bremsanlage 1 den Funktionstest abbrechen würde.
A vehicle equipped with the vehicle brake system 1 should be stationary during the function test because the vehicle brake system 1 is pressurized during the function test and therefore no regular actuation of the wheel brakes 22 is possible or an actuation of the vehicle brake system 1 would interrupt the function test.
