Method for adjusting brake pressures of a vehicle via control of a pressure control valve, brake system for carrying out the method and motor vehicle

1 . A method for adjusting brake pressures of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

actuating, by a control unit, while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of wheels that are to be braked, a pressure control valve with an inlet valve for ventilating and with an outlet valve for venting a brake pressure line that is controlled by the pressure control valve,

wherein control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on control of the inlet valve,

wherein, in an external braking mode provided for a case where an external braking demand is received that is independent of a driver's braking demand, the control unit adjusts the brake pressure in the brake pressure line according to the external braking demand by determining control times of the outlet valve depending on control of the inlet valve, and

wherein the control times of the outlet valve vary from control times of the inlet valve in terms of duration and/or start time.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve have varying start times and partially overlap.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of actuations of the inlet valve during a build-up of brake pressure are counted and the control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on a number of already completed actuations of the inlet valve.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a brake cylinder is vented or ventilated via the brake pressure line on a side of a pressure control valve lying on another side of a pressure reservoir.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control times of the outlet valve are determined as a function of control times of the inlet valve.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control times of the outlet valve vary from the control times of the inlet valve in terms of both duration and start time.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control times of the outlet valve occur immediately after control times of the inlet valve, and wherein a respective control time of the control times of the outlet valve depend on a past control time of the control times of the inlet valve.

9 . A method for adjusting brake pressures of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

actuating, by a control unit, while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of wheels that are to be braked, a pressure control valve with an inlet valve for ventilating and with an outlet valve for venting the brake pressure line that is controlled by the pressure control valve,

wherein control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on control of the inlet valve and as a function of control times of the inlet valve,

wherein during a braking process a correction factor is determined, with which the control times of the inlet valve are weighted for determining the control times of the outlet valve, and

wherein the control times of the outlet valve vary from the control times of the inlet valve in terms of duration and/or start time.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the correction factor is constantly determined as a function of a measured deceleration of the vehicle according to predetermined determination instructions.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the correction factor is determined according to a predetermined characteristic curve as a function of a sum of the control times of already completed actuations of the inlet valve and control times of the outlet valve that were previously determined in connection with a reduction of the brake pressure.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein a predetermined time constant is subtracted from the control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve that are to be summed.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a number of actuations of the inlet valve during a build-up of brake pressure are counted and the control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on a number of already completed actuations of the inlet valve.

15 . A method for adjusting brake pressures of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

actuating, by a control unit, while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of wheels that are to be braked, a pressure control valve with an inlet valve for ventilating and with an outlet valve for venting the brake pressure line that is controlled by the pressure control valve,

wherein control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on control of the inlet valve,

wherein a brake system of a trailer vehicle can be indirectly activated via a brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle and a pressure control valve disposed in the brake pressure line, and

wherein the control times of the outlet valve vary from control times of the inlet valve in terms of duration and/or start time.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a number of actuations of the inlet valve during a build-up of brake pressure are counted and the control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on a number of already completed actuations of the inlet valve.

18 . The brake system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the control unit is configured to receive an external braking demand that is independent of a driver's braking demand.

19 . The brake system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the brake pressure lines are connected to a brake cylinder on a side of a pressure control valve lying on a side of a pressure reservoir.

20 . The brake system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a brake pressure line for a trailer vehicle with a pressure control valve disposed in the brake pressure line is connected to a pneumatic coupling head, to which a brake system of the trailer vehicle can be coupled and can be activated via the brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle.
