    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.

    摘要: A power assisted steering apparatus for a vehicle has a driving source and an actuator for the vehicle's steering mechanism, to power assist the steering operation. The driving source, such as an engine, continuously drives a pump. A working passage is arranged so that working oil discharged from the pump is introduced into the actuator. A check valve is disposed in the working passage, between the actuator and the pump so that the working oil flows only one way to the actuator. An accumulator is connected to the working passage, between the check valve and the actuator to maintain a predetermined pressure in the working passage. A regulator is connected to the working passage, between the pump and the check valve to regulate flow to the actuator. When the pressure within the working passage reaches the predetermined pressure, the working fluid is dumped to a reservoir, bypassing the check valve, the accumulator, and the actuator.

    摘要: A power steering system includes a fluid pump, a steering gear, a high-pressure passage connecting the fluid pump to the steering gear, and a flow control valve having a first chamber forming a part of the high-pressure passage. A metering orifice is disposed in the high-pressure passage between the first chamber and the steering gear. A feedback passage distributes feedback pressure developed in the high-pressure passage downstream of the metering orifice to a second chamber of the flow control valve. An exhaust port communicates with the first chamber. A movable valve spool is disposed in a valve bore and has one end exposed to the first chamber and opposite end exposed to the second chamber. A valve spring is disposed in the second chamber together with a slide coupled with an external actuator. One end of the valve spring is seated on the opposite end of the valve spool and opposite end thereof is seated on the slide. The actuator is responsive to a control signal to position the slide thereby varying force with which the valve spring urges the valve spool. A control unit develops the control signal in response to turning maneuvers.

    摘要: A steering system includes a hydraulic power cylinder 5 that assists a steering force of a rack-and-pinion mechanism 4, and a first hydraulic pressure supply mechanism 8 having a first trochoid pump 23 selectively supplying hydraulic pressure to two hydraulic pressure chambers 15a and 15b of the hydraulic power cylinder via first and second fluid passages 6 and 7, and a first electric motor 24 for the first trochoid pump. When the first hydraulic pressure supply mechanism becomes failed, a second hydraulic pressure supply mechanism 11 is operated responsively to a command signal from a control unit 14 to selectively supply hydraulic pressure via third and fourth fluid passages to either one of the hydraulic pressure chambers.Thus, it is possible to positively apply a steering assist force by means of the second hydraulic pressure supply mechanism 11, thereby reducing a driver's operating force applied to a steering wheel.
