Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method for controlling a hydraulic braking system, wherein the braking system includes a hydraulic pump that is driven by an electric motor so as to generate a volume of fluid flow for the hydraulic braking system. the electric motor is controlled in such a manner that fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system is counteracted by means of modulating a rotational speed of the electric motor. The modulation is generated by means of the control procedure. Furthermore, a device is designed and configured so as to perform the method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a hydraulic braking system comprising: controlling an electric motor, which drives a hydraulic pump so as to generate a volume of flow in the hydraulic braking system, in such a manner that fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system is counteracted by modulating a rotational speed of the electric motor in a sinusoidal manner, said modulation being generated by a control procedure. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational speed of the electric motor is modulated during one rotation. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational speed of the electric motor is modulated in dependence upon a rotor position. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational speed of the electric motor is modulated by taking into consideration an approach using Fourier modes. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control procedure is configured as a control procedure of a brushless DC motor. 6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of: determining a rotor position of the electric motor; determining a position of an outlet valve; defining a desired rotational speed of the electric motor so as to counteract fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system; and controlling the electric motor so as to set the desired rotational speed. 7. A control unit configured to execute program instructions stored in a non-transitory memory to: control an electric motor, which drives a hydraulic pump so as to generate a volume of flow in a hydraulic braking system, in such a manner that fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system is counteracted by modulating a rotational speed of the electric motor in a sinusoidal manner, said modulation being generated by a control procedure. 8. A hydraulic braking system comprising: an electric motor; a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor so as to generate a volume of flow in the hydraulic braking system; and a control unit that is configured to control the electric motor in such a manner that fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system is counteracted by modulating a rotational speed of the electric motor in a sinusoidal manner, said modulation being generated by a control procedure, wherein the braking system does not comprise a hydraulic damping component configured to counteract fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system. 9. The hydraulic braking system of claim 8 , wherein the braking system does not include a hydraulic low-pass filter configured to counteract the fluid pulsation in the hydraulic braking system.
