    摘要: A hydraulic power steering system includes a pump, a flow control valve, and a bypass control valve. The flow control valve responds to a pressure drop across a metering orifice disposed in a fluid supply passage so as to control the flow rate of operating fluid by bypassing a part of the operating fluid to a reservoir. A spring chamber of the flow control valve is connected to the supply passage through a control orifice. The bypass control valve is disposed between the spring chamber and the reservoir so as to increase the amount of bypassed fluid by controlling the pressure in the spring chamber. The bypass control valve has a control spool, a load pressure introduction port connected to the upstream side of the control orifice for leading the load pressure to a first end of the control spool and a pilot port connected to the downstream side of the control orifice for leading the pressure in the spring chamber of the flow control valve to a second end of the control spool. Moreover, a pressure receiving area of the second end of the control spool is smaller than that of the first end of the control spool. Accordingly, a spring having a small spring constant can be used in the bypass control valve, even when the control spool is controlled within a short stroke. Further, the control spool, the load pressure introduction port, and the pilot port are formed in a sleeve.

    摘要: A power steering apparatus for a motor vehicle is provided with a metering orifice arranged on a supply passage and a flow control device in parallel relation with the metering orifice. The flow control valve includes a spool and a spring and moves the spool against the force of the spring in response to the pressure difference across the metering orifice for returning an excess part of operating fluid discharged from an engine-driven pump to an intake side of the pump so as to keep the flow rate towards a power assist gear unit almost constant regardless of changes in rotational speed of the pump. A drooping device cooperating with the flow control valve is provided comprising a control orifice at the upstream of the metering orifice and a bypass valve in communication with a spring chamber of the flow control valve retaining the spring. When the pressure difference across the control orifice exceeds a predetermined value with the increase in the pump rotational speed to a predetermined speed, the bypass valve operates to drain the pressure in the spring chamber. The load acting on the pump is thereby relieved. A bypass control valve is responsive to the pressure at the downstream of the metering orifice so as to restrict the draining of the pressure in the spring chamber when the power assist gear unit is brought into operation.

    摘要: In a hydraulic pump, a cam ring is provided in a cylindrical adaptor for movement in a radial direction, and a differential pressure control valve is provided to control internal pressure and load pressure at the front and back sides of a variable orifice to be introduced into action chambers and formed at the opposite sides of the cam ring for controlling a discharge amount of the pump in accordance with the rotation speed of the pump. The differential pressure control valve is operated under the internal pressure and load pressure respectively introduced into action chambers and the load of a thrust spring biasing the differential pressure control valve toward the internal pressure chamber. The load of the thrust spring is increased or decreased in accordance with an increase or a decrease of the load pressure. The increase or decrease of the load pressure is effected by a load pressure responsive piston loaded by a thrust spring and engaged with the differential pressure control valve at one end thereof in the internal pressure chamber.

    摘要: A hydraulic power steering apparatus includes a motor-driven pump which discharges pressurized working fluid at a flow rate proportional to the rotational speed. A load-pressure responsive valve is connected to a discharge passage to which the pressurized fluid is discharged from the pump. The load-pressure responsive valve bypasses the pressurized fluid to a reservoir when the control valve is in a neutral state, thereby reducing the amount of the pressurized fluid supplied to the control valve, and increases the amount of the pressurized fluid supplied to the control valve when the load pressure of the pump increases upon operation of the control valve. With this control, the energy consumed by the pump can be reduced.

    摘要: A variable-displacement vane pump apparatus is composed of a pump part and a switching valve. The pump part is comprised of a housing, a cam ring, a rotor, plural vanes, side plates, two pairs of intake and exhaust ports formed on the side plates, discharge pressure chambers connecting with the discharge ports, and an intake chamber connected with the intake ports. The pump part is divided into first and second pump portions, and only one of the pump portions is activated by the operation of the switching valve when the load pressure is low. Under such condition, the fluid discharged from the particular pump portion is returned to its intake port. Also, the flow rate of the operation fluid discharged from the pump is adjusted by the flow control valve by returning part of pressurized fluid into the inlet ports. A fluid supplied from a reservoir is energized two times by supercharge effect utilizing the returned fluid from the switching valve and the returned fluid from the flow control valve. The vane pump is further provided with a special arrangement to lower the pressure at the bottoms of slits receiving the vanes at the time period when the slits located in the particular pump portion, thereby reducing the energy loss.

    摘要: In a flow control device for vehicles and like, a union 17 of a pump receives a load pressure responsive valve 24. The union 17 is provided with outlet port to supply operating fluid regulated by a flow control valve to a control valve. The load pressure responsive valve, received in the union, has a variable orifice. The load pressure responsive valve brings the spring chamber into communication with the reservoir when road pressure, caused by operation of a steering wheel, is relatively low and the load pressure responsive valve shuts the communication between the spring chamber and the reservoir in response to rising of the road pressure. Therefore, the flow control device provides the power saving caused by decreasing the flow rate supplied from the pump to the control valve at low load pressure without substantial improvement of a pump housing.
