Abstract

A hydraulic assembly for modulating a brake pressure of a wheel brake of a motor vehicle brake system with electronic slip control includes a housing block through which a brake fluid is configured to flow and which is equipped with an electronically controllable member for setting the brake pressure. The hydraulic assembly also includes at least one particle-filtering device that is fitted with the housing block and forms a magnetic field. Using the particle-filtering device, particles of ferromagnetic material are configured to be filtered out of the brake fluid without reducing a cross-section of a fluid-conducting channel and thereby choking the throughflow of the housing block or hindering the fluid throughflow.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic assembly for modulating a brake pressure of a wheel brake of a motor vehicle brake system with electronic slip control, the wheel brake configured to be coupled fluidically to the hydraulic assembly, the hydraulic assembly comprising:
a housing block through which a brake fluid is configured to flow and which is equipped with an electronically controllable device configured to set the brake pressure; and
a particle-filtering device configured to filter particles out of the brake fluid, the particle-filtering device including a magnet that produces a magnetic field, the magnet being annularly shaped and defining a ring opening through which brake fluid is conducted,
wherein the particle-filtering device includes a fluid-connection element that is attached to the hydraulic block, the fluid-connection element being configured to mechanically connect to a line that supplies the brake fluid to the hydraulic block in such a way that the brake fluid is conducted through the ring opening before entering the housing block.

2. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the housing block defines pressure medium ports and channels that conduct the brake fluid, and wherein at least one of the pressure medium ports and channels is arranged inside the magnetic field.

3. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one of the pressure medium ports and channels runs through the ring opening.

4. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 3 , wherein a diameter of the ring opening is equal to a diameter of the at least one of the pressure medium ports and channels.

5. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the magnet is a permanent magnet.

6. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the a fluid-connection element is formed of a magnetized ferromagnetic material that forms the magnet.

7. The hydraulic assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the particle-filtering device is arranged on the housing block separately from the electronically controllable device.
