EQUALIZING CONTAINER FOR A HYDRAULIC MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an equalizing container (40) for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, having a housing (47) comprising a housing upper part and a housing lower part, and having an apparatus for monitoring the container filling level of the equalizing container (40), comprising a switching unit (41) which is fastened to the housing (47) and has a plug connector (42) and a contact support (44) which protrudes with one section (49) into a guide tube (53) which extends into a container interior space, and to a sensor or switching element which is arranged on the contact support (44) in the region of the guide tube (53) and can be switched by means of a sensor (4) at a switching point S, at which the switching unit (41) generates a signal for an electronic control unit. In order to provide an equalizing container (40) which is improved with regard to switching behaviour, exchangeability of the switching unit, mounting and costs, it is proposed according to the invention that the contact support (44) has a cup-shaped section (46) which interacts with a complementary section (48) which is formed on the housing (47), in order to make a releasable connection of the switching unit (41) to the housing (47) possible, wherein that section (49) of the contact support (44) which carries the sensor or switching element extends centrally from a base (50) of the cup-shaped section (46) and a housing (43) of the plug connector (42) is arranged on the contact support (44) perpendicularly in relation to a longitudinal axis L of the switching unit (41).
