Introduce The Hydraulic Steering Unit

The invention relates to a hydraulic steering unit for automotive vehicles

. A main feature of the unit is that pressure relief means are provided for relieving excessively high pressures developed in the unit which are caused by the steered wheels encountering road obstacles.

The unit includes a pump, a drain tank and a working motor which is connectable to the wheels to be steered. The working motor has complementary expansible chamber means and a control valve is connected to the motor with a pair of supply and exhaust conduits which are selectively connectable to the pump and the tank by the control valve. A shunt line is provided between the pump and the tank and a pressure relief valve is in the shunt line.

A manually operated valve controlled by a steering wheel is connected to the pump and the drain tank. A pair of control lines are connected to the manually operated valve which are selectively connectable to the pump and the drain tank by the manually operated valve.

The control lines are connected to opposite sides of the working motor control valve and a pair of one way valves are between the pair of supply and exhaust conduits and the pair of control lines for connecting the working motor to the shunt line so that the relief valve can relieve excessive pressures in the working motor.

Hydraulic steering unit comprising a pump means, a drain tank, a working motor having complementary expansible chamber means, a control valve, a pair of parallel supply and exhaustconduits between said working motor and said control valve which are selectively connectable to said pump means and said tank by said control valve, said control valve having a neutral position relative to said conduits, a shunt line between said pumpmeans and said tank, a pressure relief valve in said shunt line, a manually operated valve connected to said pump means and said drain tank.

A pair of parallel control lines connected to said manually operated valve which are selectively connectable tosaid pump means and said drain tank by said manually operated valve, said control lines being connected to opposite sides of said control valve, a pair of one way valve means disposed respectively in parallel between said pair of supply and exhaustconduits and said pair of control lines for operating said control valve to connect said working motor to said shunt line so that said relief valve can relieve excessive pressures in said working motor.

Each of said one way valve means opening in thedirection permitting flow to said control lines for operating said control valve, pilot valve means connected to said pressure relief valve, said pilot valve means being connectable to said pump means through said control valve to a selected one of saidsupply and exhaust conduits, said pilot valve means having a closed position corresponding to neutral and partially opened positions of said control valve and an open position corresponding to a fully open position of said control valve, said pilot valvemeans permitting opening of said relief valve only when said pilot valve means is in an open position.

The invention relates to a hydraulic steering unit with a pump, a tank, a working motorwhich is connected over working lines and which adjusts the steering parts, and a control valve, which is adjustable in two working positions in which the working lines from the pump line and the tank line are separated by means of a pressure from aneutral position, supplied over control pressure lines and depending on the operation of a steering hand wheel or the like, in which working position one working line is connected with the pump line and the other working line is connected with the tankline over a short circuit path in which a relief valve is fitted which opens at a predetermined limit pressure.

The present invention seeks quickly to decompose the over-pressures which have been caused by external powers with the very lowest expenditure in a hydraulic steering unit of the above mentioned sort.
