Abstract

Abstract A circuit configuration for a brake system including an anti-locking control system, wherein a balanced pressure course is attained in the rear wheel brakes through control according to the "select-low" principle. The circuit configuration is furnished with a supplemental circuit (8) comparing the rotating pattern of the rear wheels during the control and, upon detection of a brake moment difference (ΔM) causes a brake moment correction. This correction can be achieved, for example, by prolongating (T p , T' p ) of the pressure build-up pulses controlling the rise in pressure in the wheel exhibiting a lower brake moment.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
A method for providing an anti-locking control system for the brakes of an automotive vehicle wherein braking pressure is applied to the rear vehicle wheels and modulated by slip control using the select-low technique, said method comprising the steps of: detecting the rotating pattern of each rear wheel; determining the brake moment of each rear wheel respectively from the detected rotating patterns; comparing the determined brake moments; detecting a difference between the brake moments; and altering the brake pressure modulation pattern of one of the rear wheels in response to the detecting difference until the brake moments are approximately equal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 100 words
A method for providing an anti-locking control system for the brakes of an automotive vehicle wherein braking pressure is applied to the rear vehicle wheels and modulated by slip control using the select-low technique, said method comprising the steps of: detecting the rotating pattern of each rear wheel; determining the brake moment of each rear wheel respectively from the detected rotating patterns; comparing the determined brake moments; detecting a difference between the brake moments; and altering the brake pressure modulation pattern of one of the rear wheels in response to the detecting difference until the brake moments are approximately equal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method according to claim 1 including the step of delaying said altering step for a predetermined period after said difference is detected.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said altering step includes the step of delaying altering until a predetermined difference value is attained.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the brake pressure is applied to the rear vehicle wheels through control valves responsive to a controller.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method according to claim 4 wherein said control valves are electromagnetic valves responsive to electrical signals provided by said controller.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method according to claim 5 wherein during slip control said controller provides pulses of constant pulse duration.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 31 words
The method according to claim 6 including the step of prolonging the duration of the pulses applied to one of said electromagnetic valves after said brake moment difference has been detected.
