A seal apparatus includes at least one pair of gears; a side plate arranged adjacent to the pair of gears; and a housing sandwiching the side plate. At least one of the side plate and the housing includes a shoulder portion. The seal apparatus further includes a seal member arranged between the housing and the side plate and arranged at the shoulder portion. The seal member separates a low pressure area from a high pressure area in a radial direction of the gear. The shoulder portion is located in the low pressure area. At least a part of the seal member faces the high pressure area. The seal apparatus further includes a backup member reinforcing the seal member and facing a tip portion of the shoulder portion; and a containing portion formed between a root portion of the shoulder portion and the seal member to be capable of containing a part of the seal member at least when the seal member is elastically deformed.

In a power steering system which has a fluid pump and a hydraulic actuator, there is used a flow control device which comprises a spool unit slidably received in a spool receiving bore in a manner to partition the bore into first and second pressure chambers. The spool unit comprises a hollow cylindrical outer spool slidably received in the spool receiving bore. The outer spool has a bottom portion exposed to the second pressure chamber. The bottom portion has an aperture formed therethrough. A cylindrical inner spool is incorporated with the outer spool. The inner spool includes a larger diameter portion slidably received in a major part of the outer spool and a smaller diameter portion slidably received in the aperture of the bottom portion of the outer spool. The inner spool is engaged with a control spring to be biased toward the first pressure chamber. A spring member is employed for biasing the outer and inner spools toward the second and first pressure chambers respectively.

A flow control device or valve used in a power steering system of an automotive vehicle. The flow control device comprises a housing formed with an axially extending hole in which a spool valve is movably disposed. A first pressure chamber is defined in the hole, with one end of the spool valve. A drain passage is opened to the first pressure chamber and closable with the spool valve. A second pressure chamber is defined in the hole, with the other end of the spool valve. A restricting orifice is provided to be communicated with the first pressure chamber. An introduction passage is formed to be communicated through the restricting orifice with a discharge passage and opened to the first pressure chamber. The pressure in the discharge passage is introduced to the second pressure chamber. A first spring is disposed in the second pressure chamber to bias the spool valve in a direction to close the drain passage. A spring holding member is movably and coaxially disposed in the axially extending hole. The spring holding member has a first end face defining the second pressure chamber, and a second end face which is larger in pressure-receiving area than the first end face. The first spring is disposed between the spool valve and the first end face of the spring holding member. The second end face of the spring holding member defines a pressure control chamber communicated with the second pressure chamber. Additionally, a second spring is provided to bias the spring holding member in a direction to reduce a volume of the pressure control chamber.

A brake control apparatus including a reservoir tank, a housing, a pump within the housing, a suction port formed in the housing and communicated with a suction portion of the pump, a discharge port formed in the housing and communicating a discharge portion of the pump with wheel cylinders, a suction pipe connecting the suction port and the reservoir tank, and a reservoir chamber disposed within the housing between the suction portion of the pump and the suction port. The reservoir chamber has a volume capable of reserving at least a predetermined amount of the brake fluid which is required for one-time braking at a maximum fluid pressure.

A power steering device includes a hydraulic pump for discharging working fluid, an actuator for producing a steering assisting force by means of working fluid, a hydraulic passage for connecting the hydraulic pump and the actuator, a check valve arranged to the hydraulic passage to allow flow of working fluid from the hydraulic pump to the actuator and preventing flow thereof in the opposite direction, an accumulator connected to the hydraulic passage downstream of the check valve, a pressure switch for detecting a pressure within the hydraulic passage downstream of the check valve, a control unit for controlling the hydraulic pump in response to the pressure switch, and a display for showing an anomaly of the power steering device. When determining the anomaly of the power steering device, the control unit stops the hydraulic pump and/or makes the display show the anomaly.
摘要:
A power assisted steering apparatus for a vehicle having a driving source, such as an engine, has an actuator, a hydraulic pump, a working oil pressure passage, and a drive switch. The actuator, which is in the vehicle steering mechanism, receives a supply or exhaust of a working oil to assist the steering operation. The pump is selectively driven by an engine via a clutch mechanism. The working oil discharged from the pump is introduced into the actuator via the passage. The check valve is interposed within the passage to enable flow in one direction away from the pump. The drive switch structure is disposed within the passage, downstream from the check valve. With this arrangement, the drive switch structure can be activated by pressure in the passage downstream of the check valve to control the clutch mechanism.

A solenoid valve includes a solenoid coil, a yoke of magnetic material, an armature of magnetic material to move in an axial direction of the solenoid coil when the solenoid coil is energized, a plunger to be moved with the armature, a valve seat member including a seat portion formed with a valve hole to be closed and opened by a forward end portion of the plunger, and a coil spring which is disposed between a spring receiving portion of the plunger and the valve seat member, around the plunger. The plunger includes a pressure receiving portion (such as a flat portion) which extends in a radial direction of the plunger at a position between the forward end portion and the spring receiving portion of the plunger, and which faces to the seat portion.
摘要:
In a brake control apparatus with wheel-brake cylinders mounted on respective road wheels, a pump is provided to supply a fluid pressure to each of the wheel-brake cylinders by normal rotation of the pump. A control unit is provided to control rotational motion of the pump to bring an actual wheel-cylinder pressure of each of the wheel-brake cylinders closer to a target wheel-cylinder pressure. Also provided is a pump reverse-rotation suppression device that suppresses reverse rotation of the pump, only when the reverse rotation of the pump is detected.

In a gear pump equipped with a pump assembly formed from a driving gear supported by a driving shaft, a driven gear supported by a driven shaft, a pair of side plates disposed at both sides in an axial direction of driving and driven shafts, and a seal block that seals tips of the gears and forms a first fluid chamber by installation onto the side plates, and a casing that houses the pump assembly and forms a second fluid chamber therein, ribs are provided for at least one member of the side plates or the seal block, and fluid tightness between the first and second fluid chambers is secured by exerting pressure between the side plates and seal block and additionally plastically deforming the ribs. By this, it is possible to provide the gear pump which is capable of achieving improvement of the seal integrity while reducing the parts count.
