A steering system for an agricultural vehicle with a hydraulic steering motor incorporates an internal pump, a distribution valve, an input shaft which in use is coupled for rotation by the steering shaft of a vehicle steering wheel, and connectors for hydraulic lines leading to a high pressure source of oil, to an oil reservoir and to hydraulic actuators connected to the steerable wheels of the vehicle. The steering motor is located remotely from the steering shaft and is coupled for rotation with shaft by hydraulic rotary actuators mounted on the steering shaft and the input shaft of the steering motor and arranged in a closed circuit with one another.

A fluid controller (15) for use with an unequal area cylinder (25) having a rod end area A and a head end area B. The controller valving (27) includes, in one embodiment, a flow amplification path (101) for only one direction of steering. In another embodiment, the controller valving (27) includes flow amplification in both directions of steering, but with the ratios being different. In either case, the ratio of flow to the head end to flow to the rod end equals the ratio B/A, whereby the fluid controller requires the same number of turns, lock-to-lock, for either direction of steering.

A fluid controller (17) having a housing (21) and valving including a spool (41) and a follow-up sleeve (43). The spool and sleeve define a central reference plane (RP) with the housing having two annular chambers (61, 62) receiving pressurized fluid from an inlet port (23). One of the annular chambers (61) communicates pressurized fluid to the main flow control orifice (A1) in a left turn, and to the flow amplification orifice (AQ) in a right turn, while the other annular chamber (62) communicates pressurized fluid to the main flow control orifice (A1) in a right turn, and to the flow amplification orifice (AQ) in a left turn. A check valve (103,105) is associated with each of the annular chambers, such that one check valve (103) is an inlet check in a right turn and a reverse flow prevention check while manually steering in a left turn, whereas the other check valve (105) is an inlet check in a left turn and a reverse flow prevention check while manually steering in a right turn. The disclosed arrangement makes it possible to combine wide angle steering architecture with flow amplification capability, without the need to close off the amplification orifice (AQ) during manual steering.

A torque generator steering device (10) is disclosed of the type including a gerotor displacement mechanism (19) and valving (9), by the rotation of an input shaft (1) results in a hydrostatic power assist to an output shaft (2). In parallel with the power assist path, the input shaft (1) is connected by a torsion bar (15) to a connecting shaft (3) which, in turn, is connected to the output shaft (2). The connections between the torsion bar (15) and the connecting shaft (3), and between the connecting shaft (3) and the output shaft (2) are substantially zero backlash mechanical connections, thus providing a main torque transmitting path in parallel with the power assist path. Below a predetermined level of input torque, rotation of the input shaft (1) results in an immediate and corresponding rotation of the output shaft (2), thus providing a manual steering mode.
摘要:
An improved fluid controller (15) is provided having both rotary valving (47) actuated by the steering wheel (17), and axial valving (49) controlled by an electro-hydraulic valve (113) in response to a correction signal (31). In one embodiment, both the rotary valving and the axial valving are achieved by a primary valve member (63) and a follow-up valve member (65), and both the rotary and axial valving can be actuated simultaneously. Also disclosed is a logic control system for closed-loop control of the electro-hydraulic valve, whereby performance problems such as self-steering, wander, drift, and others are substantially eliminated.
摘要:
A fluid controller (15) is provided of the type having a primary valve member (53) and a follow-up valve member (55). The controller includes a housing (41) defining main fluid ports (27,29) connected to a steering cylinder (19), and also defines auxiliary fluid ports (31,33), connected to an auxiliary fluid motor (21). The spool and sleeve cooperate with the housing to provide main control valving (35) controlling the flow of fluid to the steering cylinder in response to relative rotation of the spool and sleeve, and auxiliary control valving (35), controlling the flow to the auxiliary motor in response to axial motion of the sleeve, relative to the spool and housing. By performing both the main and auxiliary valving in the spool and sleeve, the main valving (35) is automatically given priority over the auxiliary valving (37), without the need for any expensive, complicated controls or interface between the two types of valving.
摘要:
A fluid controller (15) is disclosed of the type including a primary, spool valve (41) and a rotatable follow-up valve member (43). The controller includes a housing (23) defining an inlet port (31), a return port (33), and control fluid ports (35 and 37). The return port is in communication with an interior chamber (33c) disposed within the spool valve (41). The controller is of the type including a fluid meter (21) through which the fluid flows as part of the main fluid path, imparting the follow-up movement to the follow-up valve member (43). Anti-cavitation check valves (95L, 95R) are disposed in the spool valve, and permit direct communication from the interior chamber of the spool into the main fluid path when the valving returns to neutral (FIGS. 3 and 5) after cavitation occurs. In addition, manual steering check valves (97L, 97R) are disposed in the spool valve, and are operable to communicate fluid from the interior chamber to the inlet side of the fluid meter when the valving is at maximum displacement, in a manual steering operation (FIGS. 4 and 6).
