Abstract

An emergency energy store for a vehicle. Multiple electrical energy storage devices may feed electrical power in parallel into an electrical power supply network of a vehicle with the aid of separate voltage converters in each case. An electromechanical brake booster for a vehicle, a braking and/or steering system for a vehicle, and a power supply system for a vehicle, are also provided. A manufacturing method for an emergency energy store of a vehicle is also provided.

Claims (19)

1. An emergency energy store for a vehicle, comprising:

multiple electrical energy storage devices; and

multiple voltage converters, which each include a first terminal and a second terminal;

wherein each of the voltage converters is coupled at a first terminal to a respective one of the electrical energy storage devices; and

wherein each of the multiple voltage converters is electrically coupled to one another at the second terminals, wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a half-bridge including two semiconductor switch elements connected in series.

2. The emergency energy store as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the multiple electrical energy storage devices includes at least one storage capacitor.

3. The emergency energy store as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a step-up converter.

4. The emergency energy store as recited in claim 1 , wherein the emergency energy store includes two or three voltage converters, each of the two or three voltage converters encompassing a half-bridge including a B6 bridge.

5. The emergency energy store as recited in claim 1 , wherein each voltage converter of the multiple voltage converters is individually controllable and/or activatable.

6. An electromechanical brake booster for a vehicle, which is connectable or connected upstream from a brake master cylinder of the vehicle, the electromechanical brake booster including an emergency energy store comprising multiple electrical energy storage devices, and multiple voltage converters, which each include a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein each of the voltage converters is coupled at a first terminal to a respective one of the electrical energy storage devices, wherein each of the multiple voltage converters is electrically coupled to one another at the second terminals, and wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a half-bridge including two semiconductor switch elements connected in series.

7. A braking and/or steering system for a vehicle, comprising:

an emergency energy store including multiple electrical energy storage devices, and multiple voltage converters, which each include a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein each of the voltage converters is coupled at a first terminal to a respective one of the electrical energy storage devices, wherein each of the multiple voltage converters is electrically coupled to one another at the second terminals, and wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a half-bridge including two semiconductor switch elements connected in series.

8. A power supply system for a vehicle, comprising:

a vehicle battery; and

an emergency energy store including multiple electrical energy storage devices, and multiple voltage converters, which each include a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein each of the voltage converters is coupled at a first terminal to a respective one of the electrical energy storage devices, wherein each of the multiple voltage converters is electrically coupled to one another at the second terminals, and wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a half-bridge including two semiconductor switch elements connected in series.

9. A method for manufacturing an emergency energy store of a vehicle, comprising the following steps:

providing multiple electrical energy storage devices and multiple voltage converters;

electrically coupling each of the electrical energy storage devices to a first terminal of a respective one of the voltage converters; and

electrically coupling the multiple voltage converters to second terminals of the multiple voltage converters, wherein each of the multiple voltage converters includes a half-bridge including two semiconductor switch elements connected in series.
