METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INSTALLATION FOR VACUUM-PRESSURE FILLING, AND HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD
The invention relates to a method for operating an installation for the vacuum-pressure filling of systems with gaseous liquefied fuels, wherein the system to be filled is prefilled with an additive which is partially extracted from the filling process by flow effects while secondary processes are being carried out and is subsequently returned in a metered manner to the system to be filled, and also relates to a hydraulic circuit for carrying out such a method. The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a technical solution in this respect which is suitable in particular for filling an air-conditioning system of a vehicle with refrigerant in the production process on assembly lines of the automobile industry. This problem is solved by a combination of method- and device-related technical features which, by specific routing of lines in operative connection with valves and the structural integration of a separator in the flow path, allow the volumetric flows to be influenced direction-dependently, and so allow an additive that is separated out from the volumetric flow to be returned once again to the main process after the completion of the secondary processes.
The disclosure relates to a rotary driving tool for handling closure elements on vehicle containers for holding operating fluids, which are fed into the respective circuits and containers of the vehicles in the manufacturing process of the vehicles on assembly lines of the automotive industry by robot-based assemblies arranged on the assembly line from filling systems via connecting lines and adapters, wherein the robot-based assemblies are displaceable in operation between a home position and a filling position and have at least one robot arm. It is the problem of the disclosure to create such a rotary driving tool that enables automated handling of the closure elements even in confined or poorly accessible installation spaces. This problem is solved in that the rotary driving tool has a plate-shaped base body, a centric gripper, a drive motor, a first pneumatic compensating element for deviations in the XY plane and a second pneumatic compensating element for deviations in the Z direction, wherein specific designs and arrangements are proposed for these assemblies.

The invention relates to a method for testing brake systems of motor vehicles during the manufacturing process, in the assembly line of automobile manufacturers, in which method the brake pedal is actuated by means of an automatically controlled device and the pedal travel and pedal force are measured by means of associated measuring devices. The invention addresses the problem of modifying a brake pedal test which is known per se in such a way that the proportion of false NIO evaluation results regarding the residual air can be substantially reduced, and the proportion of false IO evaluation results can be reduced at least to an insignificant proportion. This problem is solved in that a travel-force curve is plotted on the basis of pedal travel and pedal force during pedal motion, and is evaluated by means of a physical brake system model which isolates the constructive influence of the individual components of the brake system. In addition, the travel difference between different fixed points of different vehicles is taken into account when calculating the pedal travel in order to compensate for the variable influence of wheel brake slack on pedal travel.
