ABSTRACT:
An overload protection and/or warning arragement for a vehicle brake which is activated by brake pressure so that overload protection and warning indication occurs essentially without any time-delay.
In one embodiment of the invention, it is proposed to compare, by means of a comparison apparatus, a design brake pressure P(design) determined on the basis of a regulated variable imparted to an activation apparatus of the vehicle brake and of operating data of the vehicle and/or of the design data of the brakes and of the brake application apparatus with the actual brake pressure P(actual), and to initiate a warning signal if P(actual) differs by a specified amount from P(design).
In another embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the warning signal be initiated if the actual brake pressure produced by the existing brake pressure differs by a specified amount from a design brake force which is determined from the brake pressure and the design data of the brake and the brake-actuating apparatus.
