Brake Master Cylinder With Dual Check Valve Compensation Through Secondary Piston

View page
US Patent:
62761374, Aug 21, 2001
Filed:
Jan 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/483114
Inventors:
Daniel Lee Kottmyer - Fairborn OH
John Benjamin Hageman - Vandalia OH
Kenneth Richard Hous - Dayton OH
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F15B 700
F16D 3102
US Classification:
60591
Abstract:
A master cylinder provides separate flow paths through its secondary piston to provide greater fluid flow capacity from the reservoir to both the primary and secondary pressure chambers in response to the removal of brake fluid from the brake lines fed by the primary and secondary pressure chambers by a pump providing brake pressure for activation of one or more wheel brakes independently of the master cylinder. The secondary piston is provided with an axial fluid flow passage having check valves at each axial end permitting fluid flow only out of the axial fluid flow passage into the primary and secondary pressure chambers. A cross flow passage intersects the axial fluid flow passage between the primary and secondary check valves to communicate the axial fluid flow passage with the intermediate chamber and thus with the reservoir through the secondary compensation opening. The additional flow capacity to both pressure chambers provides improved reaction time for a traction control system at any wheel brake. Since the changes need only be made to the secondary piston, through standard parts and operations, costs are minimized.

US Patent:
50563130, Oct 15, 1991
Filed:
Nov 1, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/607124
Inventors:
Brad N. Venetos - Spring Valley OH
Tomas L. Shroyer - Centerville OH
Kenneth R. Hous - Beavercreek OH
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B60T 1128
F15B 708
US Classification:
60562
Abstract:
A dual brake circuit master cylinder with center compensation on the second circuit is provided. The master cylinder has a second piston mounted within a housing bore sealably separating a second reservoir passage from the second brake circuit passage when the pressure within the bore exposed to the second brake circuit passage exceeds the pressure within the bore exposed to the second reservoir passage. The second piston also has a compensating passage with an inclusive valve seat with an inserted compensating valve allowing fluid communication between the second reservoir and second brake circuit passages when the pressure in the second reservoir is greater than the pressure in the brake circuit. An auxiliary piston is provided to insure that the second compensating valve is retained to an open position when ever the second piston is in a retracted position and excessive pressure in the brake second circuit has acted to close the second compensating valve.
