Abstract

In order to prevent rotation of a piston of a hydraulic unit of a hydraulic vehicle braking system, a sleeve is provided having axially parallel cylindrical pins constituting rotation prevention elements on its inner circumference, the rear ends of which elements are pressed into axially parallel holes in an inwardly projecting flange of the sleeve, and the front ends of which are inserted into axially parallel blind holes in a diameter step in a mouth of the cylindrical hole in a hydraulic block of the hydraulic unit. A method for assembling the hydraulic unit thus configured is also described.

Claims (16)

1. A hydraulic unit for a hydraulic vehicle braking system, comprising:

a hydraulic block that has a cylindrical hole in which a piston is axially displaceably guided;

a sleeve disposed nonrotatably at a mouth of the cylindrical hole and surrounds the piston; and

a rotation prevention element that is disposed between the sleeve and the piston and extends in a displacement direction of the piston, and which holds the piston nonrotatably by positive engagement, wherein a rear end of the rotation prevention element is held in a first receptacle of the sleeve, and the rotation prevention element projects forward out of the sleeve toward the hydraulic block;

wherein the sleeve has an inwardly projecting flange having a hole constituting the first receptacle for the rear end of the rotation prevention element.

2. The hydraulic unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic block has a second receptacle for the rotation prevention element, into which a front end of the rotation prevention element is inserted.

3. The hydraulic unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve has axially parallel knurling or oblique knurling which is shaped into a circumference of the cylindrical hole at the mouth of the cylindrical hole.

4. The hydraulic unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic unit has a screw gear for displacement of the piston, and a rotationally driven drive part of the screw gear is mounted rotatably on the sleeve.

5. The hydraulic unit as recited in claim 4 , wherein the screw gear has a rotary bearing for a sun gear of a planetary gearset, and a planet carrier for the planetary gearset.

6. The hydraulic unit as recited in claim 4 , wherein the piston has a flange having a cutout into which the rotation prevention element engages so that the rotation prevention element holds the piston nonrotatably by positive engagement.

7. A method for assembling a hydraulic unit, the hydraulic unit including a hydraulic block that has a cylindrical hole in which a piston is axially displaceably guided, a sleeve disposed nonrotatably at a mouth of the cylindrical hole and surrounds the piston, and a rotation prevention element that is disposed between the sleeve and the piston and extends in a displacement direction of the piston, and which holds the piston nonrotatably by positive engagement, wherein a rear end of the rotation prevention element is held in a first receptacle of the sleeve, and the rotation prevention element projects forward out of the sleeve toward the hydraulic block, wherein the sleeve has an inwardly projecting flange having a hole constituting the first receptacle for the rear end of the rotation prevention element and wherein the hydraulic block has a second receptacle for the rotation prevention element, into which a front end of the rotation prevention element is inserted, the method comprising:

fastening the rear end of the rotation prevention element in the hole of the inwardly projecting flange of the sleeve;

disposing the piston in the sleeve;

disposing the sleeve at the mouth of the cylindrical hole in such a way that the front end of the rotation prevention element enters the second receptacle of the hydraulic block for the rotation prevention element, and the piston enters the cylindrical hole of the hydraulic block.

8. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the sleeve, the rotation prevention element, a screw gear for displacing the piston, and the piston constitute a subassembly that is preassembled and then attached to the hydraulic block.

9. The method as recited in claim 8 , wherein a planetary gearset for rotationally driving the screw gear is a constituent of the subassembly that is preassembled, and for preassembly of the subassembly, the planetary gearset is disposed on the screw gear and the subassembly is then attached to the hydraulic block.
