Braking apparatus for work machines and method of actuating said braking apparatus

摘要

A braking apparatus for work machines has at least two brakes, each having at least one braking circuit. The braking circuits can each be actuated via at least one control valve, and the control valves can be controlled independently of one another. A processing unit, by which the control valves can be controlled or regulated, an operating circuit, via which the braking circuits can be controlled or regulated manually, and at least one pressure supply are provided, and the control valves can be controlled or regulated under predetermined conditions by the processing unit.

1. A braking apparatus for a work machine comprising:
at least two brakes, each having at least one braking circuit, each of the braking circuits being actuatable via either exactly one control valve in that braking circuit or exactly one control valve in that braking circuit and a further valve in that braking circuit connected upstream of the one control valve, the control valves being controlled independently of one another; a processing unit by which the control valves can be controlled or regulated; an operating circuit via which the braking circuits can be controlled or regulated manually; and at least one pressure supply; wherein the operating circuit and the control valves are coupled to the braking circuits via respective shuttle valves; and wherein the control valves are controllable or regulatable under predetermined conditions by the processing unit independently of the operating circuit.
