IPC: F15B21/044
Filed: 2018-12-07
Abstract: A hydraulic valve block comprising a surface S with a drain bore opening 41, a motor connector bore opening 61 and a crankcase bore opening 31. A ventilation channel 211 is included on a surface S of the block, with a first extremity (end) of the channel opening to the drain bore 41 and a second extremity (end) of the channel opening to the motor connector bore 61, the channel running continuously between the two bore openings. The channel may bypass the crankcase bore 31 by running on a single side of it (as shown) or symmetrically on both sides. The dimensions of the channel, e.g. depth, width and curvature radius, may be determined based on the volume of air required to be ventilated. The channel allows air flow (see arrows, figure 5) of trapped air (a; fig. 2) in the crank case that would otherwise prevent drainage of the brake fluid from the crank case to the leakage reservoir and cause brake fluid to enter the motor. The valve block is for a hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU).
