Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compressed air brake device for a rail vehicle with a direct, electropneumatic brake has a brake control unit which has a brake control device with connected brake actuators and a brake pilot control pressure sensor connected to the brake actuators. An independent monitoring control unit is arranged in parallel to the brake control unit. The monitoring control unit has a monitoring control device with connected monitoring actuators and a monitoring pilot control pressure sensor. A monitoring pilot control pressure at the output of the monitoring actuators is closed-loop controlled using the monitoring pilot control pressure sensor. The higher pressure of a brake pilot control pressure and the monitoring pilot control pressure or, in the case of a fault of the brake control unit, the monitoring pilot control pressure can be relayed to the brake cylinder.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A compressed air brake device for a rail vehicle with a direct electropneumatic brake, the device comprising: a brake control unit having a brake control device with connected brake actuators and a brake pilot control pressure sensor connected to the brake actuators; a pressure converter that is loaded with a brake pilot control pressure by the brake actuators and is connected to at least one downstream brake cylinder; an independent monitoring control unit connected in parallel with said brake control unit, said monitoring control unit having a monitoring control device with connected monitoring actuators and a monitoring pilot control pressure sensor connected to the monitoring actuators; said monitoring pilot control pressure sensor controlling a monitoring pilot control pressure at an output of said monitoring actuators, wherein in each case a higher pressure of the brake pilot control pressure and the monitoring pilot control pressure, or, if a fault is present in said brake control unit, the monitoring pilot control pressure, is relayed to the brake cylinder; and a pressure sensor having an input connected to said pressure converter and an output connected to said monitoring control device of said monitoring control unit. 2. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 , wherein said brake control device and said monitoring brake control device are configured to store brake characteristics. 3. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 , wherein said brake control device and said monitoring control device are loaded with a signal as a function of a braking power of a further electrical brake of the rail vehicle, wherein the signal controls a required pneumatic braking force. 4. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 , wherein said brake control unit and said monitoring control unit are embodied in diverse implementation. 5. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 , wherein said brake control device and said monitoring control device are embodied in diverse implementation. 6. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 configured as a quick-action brake. 7. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 configured as a service brake. 8. The compressed air brake device according to claim 1 , which comprises a quick-action braking loop and a valve arrangement connected to said quick-action braking loop, said valve arrangement being connected to load said pressure converter with a minimum pressure, which is lower than the brake pilot control pressure and the monitoring pilot control pressure.
