    摘要: A hydraulic power steering system (10) for turning steerable wheels of a vehicle. The system (10) comprises a steering gear (12) including a hydraulic motor and a steering valve. The steering gear is susceptible to pressure fluctuations that cause noise during steering. The system (10) further comprises a pressure relief valve (14) having an unactuated condition and actuated conditions. The pressure relief valve (14), in the unactuated condition, restricts fluid flow through the pressure relief valve (14). In an actuated condition, the pressure relief valve (14) permits fluid flow through the pressure relief valve (14). The pressure relief valve (14) progressively is operable from the unactuated condition to an actuated condition as a pressure differential between the inlet (38) and the outlet (40) of the steering gear (12) increases.

    摘要: A valve (10) for controlling flow of hydraulic fluid. The valve (10) has first and second valve members (80, 82) which have a plurality of lands and grooves. The valve members (80, 82) are relatively movable from a neutral position to a displaced position in which surface segments (202, 226, 208, 218) of respective pairs of lands overlap to form flow gaps (232, 234) for restricting flow of fluid between respective pairs of grooves. At least one (234) of the flow gaps is divergent by having a cross-sectional flow area which increases along a direction of fluid flow and at least one (232) of the flow gaps is convergent by having a cross-sectional flow area which decreases along a direction of fluid flow. The flow gaps (232, 234) have minimum cross-sectional flow areas (A, B) defined by the surface segments. The flow gaps (232, 234) are sized such that the minimum cross-sectional flow area (A) of the convergent flow gap (232) is larger than the minimum cross-sectional flow area (B) of the divergent flow gap (234) for suppressing valve noise.

    摘要: A vehicle steering for turning the steerable wheels of a vehicle having a fluid motor with a housing defining a fluid chamber and a piston in the chamber dividing the chamber into first and second chamber portions. A rotatable steering input member is supported by the housing. A rotatable follow-up member is associated with the piston and rotatable upon movement of the piston in the chamber. A valve controls pressurized fluid flow to the first and second chamber portions. The valve comprises first and second relatively movable valve parts. One of the valve parts is connected with the input member and the other of the valve parts is connected with the follow-up member forming a unit therewith. The unit has a surface against which fluid pressure in the first and second chamber portions acts tending to create an axial force on the unit. Pressure is applied to another surface area of the unit to balance the axial force acting on the unit.

    摘要: A valve for controlling flow of hydraulic fluid. The valve includes first and second relatively movable valve members (60 and 62). The valve members (60 and 62) include cooperating surfaces (112, 142, 144) which define first and second orifices for metering fluid from a pressurized fluid source (44) toward first and second locations (22 and 24) in a fluid utilization device (12). The valve members (60 and 62) have a displaced position in which the first orifice is increased in size and the second orifice is decreased in size. The increased size of the first orifice reduces a pressure drop across the first orifice. The decreased size of the second orifices increases a pressure drop across the second orifice. The valve members (60 and 62) include means (114 and 146) for increasing a pressure on a downstream side of the second orifice to reduce the pressure drop for controlling valve noise.

    摘要: A power steering assembly (10) includes a rotatable valve core (40) which is encircled by a rotatable valve sleeve (41). The valve core (40) and valve sleeve (41) have surfaces which cooperate to direct a flow of power steering fluid during relative rotation between the valve core (40) and valve sleeve (41). A bearing assembly (100) is disposed between the valve core (40) and the valve sleeve (41) at a location adjacent to an axially outer end portion of the valve core (40). The bearing assembly (100) includes a plurality of rotatable bearing elements (124) which transmit sidewise loads between the valve core (40) and the valve sleeve (41). A bearing surface (102) is disposed on an axially inner end portion of the valve core (40). The bearing surface (102) is slidable along an inner surface area (104) on the valve sleeve (41) to transmit a sidewise load during relative rotation between the valve core (40) and the valve sleeve (41).

    摘要: A hydraulic power steering gear (10) for a vehicle comprises first and second valve members (40 and 42) which are disposed coaxial to one another and which are relatively rotatable about a first axis (38) to selectively port hydraulic fluid. The first valve member (40) has an associated axial bore (170). The axial bore (170) has a second axis (174) which extends parallel to the first axis (38). The second valve member (42) includes a cam surface (128). A plunger (200) is disposed in the axial bore (170) for movement along the second axis (174). The plunger has a detent surface (208). Springs (240) bias the plunger (200) axially toward the second valve member (42). A detent roller (220) acts between the first and second valve members (40 and 42). The detent roller (220) is located in the cam surface (128) and in the detent surface (208) in a neutral condition to provide a physically perceptible indication to a driver of the vehicle of operation between the neutral condition and an actuated condition.
