Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hydraulic block for a hydraulic unit of a brake controller of a hydraulic vehicle brake system is configured to fit with hydraulic components such as solenoid valves of the brake controller. The hydraulic block is manufactured by 3D printing, which enables considerably more complex line routing than manufacture by machining.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A hydraulic block for a hydraulic unit of a brake controller of a hydraulic vehicle brake system, comprising: receptacles configured for hydraulic components of the brake controller; and lines configured to one or more of port and connect the components, wherein the hydraulic block is configured to be formed by casting. 2 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block is configured to be formed by 3D printing. 3 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block comprises curved or angled lines. 4 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block comprises a stub line. 5 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block comprises a line with at least one widening of the cross-section and at least one narrowing of the cross-section. 6 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein edges of the mouths of lines at intersections of lines and/or at the mouths of the lines in receptacles configured for hydraulic components comprise chamfers or curves instead of corners. 7 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block comprises a pump receptacle with a connected leakage reservoir, and wherein the leakage reservoir does not comprise an external opening. 8 . The hydraulic block according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block comprises receptacles configured for hydraulic components of the brake controller and/or lines with non-circular cross-sections.
