In the case of hydraulic power steering systems, it is advantageous both structurally and cost-effectively to use only one hydraulic actuating cylinder, that is, to have one piston rod extending from only one side of the piston. desirable.

A power steering device with unbalanced working cylinders is known, for example, from DE 1959 020 A1. This power steering device has the disadvantage that it is necessary to apply control force asymmetrically in opposing control directions, and that the return force and return speed from both steering directions are not very large and have different magnitudes. There is. Furthermore, in many cases the forces which are generated by the system pressure and which act on the actuating piston in the neutral position of the valve are very disadvantageous.

The differential pressure in the working chamber, matched to the system pressure and the area difference, creates a force balance on the working piston. This is often achieved by adjusting the central spring acting in the control valve in such a way that a correspondingly high pressure is generated on a small area of the piston surface, i.e. the control valve is kept eccentric from the hydraulic center.

With this measure, a satisfactory effect can only be achieved in power steering systems with control valves whose characteristic curve rises directly from the center. If this were not the case, for example, in a power steering system for a passenger car, the left and right steering forces would be significantly different.

The control valve 1 has a valve body 2 and two control valve spools 4a, 4b arranged laterally in the oil inlet chamber 3 and eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis. These control valve spools 4a, 4b each have one hole 5, 6, and in these holes 5, 6 there is a pin (not shown) used to drive the control valve spools 4a, 4b. is engaged. The valve body 2 has a hole 7 through which a torsion rod easily transmits the rotational movement of a steering wheel (not shown) via a pinion. In the event of a loss of fluid pressure, it is also possible to steer the motor vehicle purely manually via this mechanical coupling from the steering wheel to the steered wheel.

The working medium is sent to the control valve 1 via the pipe 8. The working medium is delivered to the working chambers 11, 11' of the unbalanced working cylinder 12 via an inlet control lip 9 on the control valve spool 4a, an inlet control lip 9' on the control valve spool 4b and lines 10, 10'. It will be done.
This working medium returns through the bore 15a of the valve body 2 via the branch points 13, 13', the return control lip 14 on the control valve spool 4b and the return control lip 14' on the control valve spool 4a. It flows into the pipe 15.

If the control lip and the oil line are arranged operatively symmetrically, the pressures at the branch points 13, 13' are the same, so that the working chamber 1 of the working cylinder 12
1 and 11' have the same pressure. By means of the throttle 16 between the branch point 13 and the return control edge 14, the working medium is blocked in front of the throttle 16, so that the pressure in the small-area working chamber 11 is reduced to the working chamber 11'.
higher than that of A pressure difference occurs across the throttle 16 that is related to the flow of the working medium. The pressure behind the throttle 16 is determined by the pressure in the return line 15, which is common to both working chambers 11, 11'. That is,
The pressure behind the throttle 16 corresponds approximately to the pressure in the working chamber 11'. The flow rate in line 10 is less than the flow rate in line 10' because the resistance in lines 10, 10' is now asymmetric. The reduced flow rate in the line 10 limits the action of the throttle 16. After reaching the optimum value, even if the cross-sectional area of the throttle 16 is made smaller, the pressure difference across the throttle 16 will hardly increase.

Piping 1 between the inlet control edge 9' and the branch point 13'
By providing a second throttle 16' with the same size as the throttle 16 at 0', a uniform flow distribution of the working medium is ensured, and the pressure increasing action of the throttle 16' affects the large area of the working chamber 11'. does not affect both apertures 1
By varying the dimensions of 6, 16', the desired pressure difference in the cylinder chamber in the neutral position of the control valve 1 is obtained, so that no forces act on the working piston 17. The throttles 16, 16' can also be formed, for example, by narrowing the pipes 10, 10'.
