Abstract

A hydraulic assembly of a traction control system of a hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a hydraulic block, a motor block, and a control device. The hydraulic block includes at least one electric hydraulic valve and at least one electric hydraulic pump arranged therein. The motor block includes an electric motor arranged therein. The electric motor is configured to drive the at least one hydraulic pump. The control device is configured to control the at least one hydraulic valve, the at least one hydraulic pump, and the electric motor. The control device has two structurally separate control units, which include a first control unit with signal components and a second control unit with power components.

Claims (18)

1. A hydraulic assembly of a traction control system of a hydraulic vehicle brake system of a vehicle, comprising:

a hydraulic block in which at least one electric hydraulic valve and at least one electric hydraulic pump are arranged;

a motor block in which an electric motor configured to drive the at least one hydraulic pump is arranged; and

a control apparatus configured to control the at least one hydraulic valve, the at least one hydraulic pump, and the electric motor, the control apparatus configured with two structurally separate control units, which include a first control unit with signal components and a second control unit with power components for powering the electric motor,

wherein the second control unit is arranged between the motor block and the hydraulic block, and

wherein a plug connection is arranged on the second control unit, the plug connection configured to externally electrically connect the second control unit to the vehicle on which the hydraulic assembly is installed.

2. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one brush of the electric motor is arranged in the second control unit.

3. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least one brush is arranged in the second control unit directly on a circuit board.

4. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one suppressor component of the electric motor is arranged in the second control unit.

5. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one suppressor component is arranged in the second control unit on a circuit board.

6. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cover of the motor block is simultaneously formed with the second control unit.

7. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second control unit is connected to the motor block to define a separately mountable structural unit.

8. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bearing of a motor shaft of the electric motor is arranged in the second control unit.

9. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one power component is coupled onto the hydraulic block in a directly heat-conducting manner in the second control unit.

10. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first control unit is arranged on a side of the hydraulic block that faces away from the motor block.

11. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug connection is configured to receive drive power for the electric motor.

12. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the plug connection is further configured for transmission of switch and sensor signals to and from the vehicle.

13. The hydraulic assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug connection is arranged externally on the hydraulic assembly.
