Abstract
Abstract A brake force regulating system for motor vehicles has a brake pedal, a brake regulator and transducers for ascertaining driving-situation variables which act upon the brake regulator. A desired value (Z s ) of the deceleration (Z) of the motor vehicle is prespecified by the brake pedal; the actual value is ascertained; and the brake regulator is regulated by the deviation between the desired value and the actual value. Furthermore a regulation is provided in accordance with the slip between the road surface and the wheel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
301 words
A brake force regulating system including a fluid supply means for motor vehicles having at least one pair of axles comprising a brake pedal means (20,25), a brake regulator means (29,30) for establishing the braking moment (M B ) at the wheels of the motor vehicle, a plurality of transducers (24,33,34) for ascertaining driving-situation variables which act upon said brake regulator means, and comparing means (22,26,43) characterized in that a signal indicating a continuous desired value (Z s ) of a driving-situation variable can be prespecified by said brake pedal means, one (24) of said transducers ascertaining a driving-situation variable which represents an actual value (Z), and that the brake regulator means is controllable by said comparing means in accordance with the difference between the desired value (Z s ) and the actual deceleration value (Z), said comparing means (26) receives electrical signals from said one transducer (24) and said brake pedal means, other of said transducers (33,34) ascertaining forces (A, B, C) of the wheel suspension of said vehicle, means (42) for prespecifying a desired difference (Δμ s ) between adhesion forces (μ r , μ h ) at the axles, computing stages (35,36,37) operatively connected to said other transducers (33,34) for determining the horizontal and vertical forces (u,g) engaging the wheels as well as actual adhesion forces (μ r , μ h ) at the axles of the motor vehicle wherein said comparing means (22,43) is operatively connected to said computer stages for determining an actual difference value (Δμ) between the adhesion forces (μ r , μ h ) at the axles and to said means (42) prespecifying a desired difference for determining the deviation (Δμ) between said desired adhesion difference value (Δμ s ) and said actual difference adhesion value (Δμ) which serves to regulate brake pressure axle-by-axle.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A brake force regulating system as defined by claim 1, characterized in that a slip regulating loop desired value (S s ) is a slip value (S) for a slip between the road and at least one vehicle wheel (12).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
A brake force regulating system as defined by claim 2, characterized in that transducer means for the vehicle speed (v F ) and the wheel speed (v R ) are provided and that a wheel slip detector ascertains the actual value of the slip (S) by comparing a desired braking pressure with a measured braking pressure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
105 words
A brake force regulating system as defined by claim 1, characterized in that a testing stage for influencing axle-by-axle regulating stages of the brake regulator means is provided, in which the brake pressure value transducers (P v , P h ) of the fluid supply means for final control elements of the brake regulator means are compared and upon a drop in this brake pressure value transducer (P v , P h ) for one axle the braking moment (M B ) effective at the other axle at that time is increased and the dropping of the supply pressure is indicated by a display means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
A brake force regulating system as defined by claim 1, characterized in that transducer means (56, 57) are provided which ascertain driving speed and the rotational speed of the vehicle wheels, that in the brake regulator means temporal deceleration derivations of the rpm signal are formed and the braking moment is thereafter adjusted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A brake force regulating system as defined by claim 1, characterized in that a difference between a desired deceleration value (Z s ) and the deceleration (Z) of the motor vehicle is determined by said brake regulator means.
