Patent attributes
The invention relates to an electrohydraulic motor vehicle braking system and to a method for operating an electrohydraulic motor vehicle braking system. Said electrohydraulic braking system comprises a first brake circuit with at least one wheel brake, a second brake circuit with at least one wheel brake, a first cylinder-piston assembly being designed to be fluidically coupled to at least one of the first or second brake circuits and which is used to produce hydraulic pressure in at least one of the first or second brake circuits; the first cylinder-piston assembly comprises at least one first piston, a second piston-cylinder assembly comprises at least one second piston, and a electromechanical actuator which acts on the second piston of the second cylinder-piston assembly; the second cylinder-piston assembly is designed to be fluidically coupled to the first cylinder-piston assembly in order to provide hydraulic pressure for actuating the first piston-cylinder assembly and generated in the second piston-cylinder assembly when actuating the electromechanical actuator; and the second piston-cylinder assembly is designed to be fluidically coupled to the first brake circuit and/or to the second brake circuit such that when actuating the electromechanical actuator in the second piston-cylinder assembly, the first and/or the second brake circuit can be impinged upon with hydraulic pressure generated in the second piston-cylinder assembly.
