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 pneumatically 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, the pressure control valve comprising:

an inlet valve for ventilating a pneumatic brake pressure line that connects the pressure control valve to a brake cylinder, and

a separately controllable outlet valve for venting the pneumatic brake pressure line,

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

wherein control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap such that opening times of the inlet valve and outlet valve overlap.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , 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 pneumatic brake pressure line according to the external braking demand by determining control times of the outlet valve depending on control of the inlet valve.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , 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.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the correction factor is constantly determined as a function of a measured deceleration of the vehicle according to predetermined determination instructions.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 , 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.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , 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.

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

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a brake system of a trailer vehicle indirectly activatable via a pneumatic brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle and a pressure control valve disposed in the pneumatic brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle.

11. A pneumatic brake system of a motor vehicle, the brake system comprising, for each wheel:

a brake cylinder; and

a pressure control valve, the pressure control valve comprising an inlet valve for ventilating a pneumatic brake pressure line that is directly or indirectly connected to the brake cylinder and an outlet valve for venting the pneumatic brake pressure line, the inlet valve and the outlet valve being separately controllable and configured to be actuated by a control unit while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of the wheels that are to be braked,

wherein the control unit is configured to determine control times of the outlet valve depending on control of the inlet valve, and

wherein control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap such that opening times of the inlet valve and outlet valve overlap.

12. The brake system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the control unit is configured to receive an external braking demand that is independent of the driver's braking demand.

13. The brake system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the brake pressure line is connected to a side of the pressure control valve lying on an other side of a pressure reservoir.

14. The brake system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a pneumatic brake pressure line for a trailer vehicle with a pressure control valve disposed in the pneumatic brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle is connected to a pneumatic coupling head, to which a brake system of the trailer vehicle is couplable and activatable via the pneumatic brake pressure line for the trailer vehicle.

15. A motor vehicle, comprising:

a pneumatic brake system, the brake system comprising, for each wheel:

a brake cylinder; and

a pressure control valve, the pressure control valve comprising an inlet valve for ventilating a pneumatic brake pressure line that is directly or indirectly connected to the brake cylinder and an outlet valve for venting the pneumatic brake pressure line, the inlet valve and the outlet valve being separately controllable and configured to be actuated by a control unit while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of the wheels that are to be braked,

wherein the control unit is configured to determine control times of the outlet valve depending on control of the inlet valve, and

wherein control times of the inlet valve and the control times of the outlet valve at least partly overlap such that opening times of the inlet valve and outlet valve overlap.
