ABSTRACT:
A brake pressure control apparatus for automotive vehicles with an anti-locking control system (ABS) and/or with a traction slip control system (TSS) is presented. In the inlet line to the wheel cylinder an inlet valve is provided which affords a change-over from an orifice function into a flow limiting valve function at a predetermined wheel cylinder pressure. Flow is initially through an orifice (6) in a control slide valve piston (20), held in its initial position by a prestressing spring (23) acting through an auxiliary piston in engagement with control slide valve piston (20). An increase in pressure in the wheel cylinder (13), also exerted in the wheel cylinder pressure chamber (9), to a predetermined level, causes the auxiliary piston (27) to disengage from the control slide valve piston (20), preventing the force of the prestressing spring (23) from acting on the control slide valve piston (20). As a result, the control slide valve piston (20) is free to reach an equilibrium position corresponding to the magnitude of the remaining forces acting upon the piston (20 ). A control edge (33) on the piston (20) establishes a flow-cross-sectional area (34) which, upon the filling of the wheel cylinder (13), leads to a constant nominal flow rate within the lines (19, 11, 12) to the wheel cylinder (13).
