Abstract

A hydraulics assembly, in particular for controlling the brake pressure of a wheel brake of an electronically slip-controllable brake system of a motor vehicle, includes a hydraulic block having a recess for receiving a pump element, a line connection for contacting the hydraulics assembly to the wheel brake, channels for providing the pump element with brake fluid, and a hydraulic cavity formed in the interior of the hydraulic block, which cavity is contacted with the recess for the pump element. The cavity includes a riser, which extends from the recess for the pump element in the direction toward the line connection of the hydraulic block and is contacted with the recess for the pump element. The suction line collects gas escaping from the pressure means due to temperature and/or pressure changes and improves the operating noise of the hydraulics assembly.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydraulics assembly comprising:
a hydraulic block comprising:
a recess configured to receive a pump element;
a line port on the hydraulic block configured to connect the hydraulics assembly to a wheel brake;
a duct that opens into the recess and is configured to supply the pump element inserted into the recess with brake fluid; and
a hydraulic cavity formed inside the hydraulic block and in contact with the recess,
wherein the line port is arranged in a region of an upper side of the hydraulics assembly, and
wherein the hydraulic cavity comprises a riser which runs from the recess in a direction toward the line port, the riser forming a blind bore that terminates inside the hydraulic block.

2. The hydraulics assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cavity has an opening facing an outer side of the hydraulic block, the opening configured to be sealed by a sealing element anchored on the hydraulic block.

3. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cavity is arranged in a region of the hydraulic block situated between the recess and the line port.

4. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a total volume of the hydraulic cavity corresponds to a volume of gas outgassed from the brake fluid when the brake fluid is heated to a maximum operating temperature.

5. The hydraulics assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic assembly is arranged in a motor vehicle, and is configured to control brake pressure in the wheel brake of an electronically slip-controllable brake system of the motor vehicle.

6. The hydraulics assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the recess includes a first portion has a first diameter and a second portion has a second diameter that is greater than the first portion, and
the duct and the riser both open into the first portion of the recess.

7. The hydraulics assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the line port is defined in a first surface of the hydraulic block, and the blind bore terminates between the recess and the first surface.

8. A hydraulics assembly comprising
a hydraulic block comprising:
a recess configured to receive a pump element;
a line port on the hydraulic block configured to connect the hydraulics assembly to a wheel brake;
a duct that opens into the recess and is configured to supply the pump element inserted into the recess with brake fluid;
a hydraulic cavity formed inside the hydraulic block and in contact with the recess; and
a storage device configured to hold the brake fluid, the storage device being in contact with the recess via the duct,

wherein the line port is arranged in a region of an upper side of the hydraulics assembly,
wherein the hydraulic cavity comprises a riser which runs from the recess in a direction toward the line port, and
wherein the riser is configured as a straight extension of the duct.

9. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the duct and the riser open out on opposite sides into the recess and run coaxially with respect to one another.

10. A hydraulics assembly comprising:
a hydraulic block comprising:
a recess configured to receive a pump element;
a line port on the hydraulic block configured to connect the hydraulics assembly to a wheel brake;
a duct that opens into the recess and is configured to supply the pump element inserted into the recess with brake fluid; and
a hydraulic cavity formed inside the hydraulic block and in contact with the recess,

wherein the line port is arranged in a region of an upper side of the hydraulics assembly,
wherein the hydraulic cavity comprises a riser which runs from the recess in a direction toward the line port, and
wherein a total volume of the hydraulic cavity corresponds to a pressure medium volume displaced by the pump element during a compression phase until an inlet valve of the pump element closes.
