In the meantime, a hydraulic control valve for controlling the supply and discharge of the hydraulic pressure according to the direction and magnitude of the steering torque applied to the steering wheel is interposed. As this hydraulic control valve, a rotary hydraulic control valve that directly uses the rotation of a steering wheel is generally used. This is a method in which an input shaft connected to a steering wheel and an output shaft connected to a steering mechanism are connected by a torsion. Coaxially connected via a bar,
When a valve body integrally formed at one connection end is fitted to a cylindrical valve body engaged with the other connection end so as to be relatively rotatable coaxially and a steering torque is applied to the steering wheel. ,
The structure is such that relative angular displacement is generated between the valve body and the valve element with the torsion of the torsion bar.

る。The valve body and the valve body are positioned so that a plurality of lands equally arranged on the inner circumference of the former and the outer circumference of the latter are staggered in the circumferential direction. It is located between the oil supply chamber and the oil discharge chamber respectively connected to the oil pressure source and the oil discharge destination, and the oil discharge chamber on both sides of the oil supply chamber. A pair of oil supply chambers communicated with each other are provided side by side.
These chambers communicate with each other via throttles formed between the corners of the lands opposite each other on both sides, and the areas change in these throttles according to the relative angular displacement. feed hydraulic pressure to the feed oil destination are controlled.

相当する油圧力を発生する。That is, when there is no relative angular displacement between the valve body and the valve body, the oil pressure supplied to the oil supply chamber is equally distributed to the pair of oil supply chambers via the throttle portions on both sides of the oil supply chamber. The oil is introduced into the oil discharge chamber through the throttle section on the other side of the oil supply chamber, and is returned to the oil tank. On the other hand, relative angular displacement occurs between the valve body and the valve body, and the throttles on both sides of the oil supply chamber are restricted. If the throttle areas of the parts are different, the oil pressure supplied to the oil supply chamber is mainly introduced into one oil supply chamber via one throttle part (the side with the increased throttle area), and the oil supply chamber and the other Between the oil chamber,
And a pressure difference occurs between the two cylinder chambers of the power cylinder communicating with each other, and the power cylinder generates an oil pressure corresponding to the pressure difference.

になり、これらは共に油タンクに排出される。[0006] The pressure difference generated at this time depends on the degree of reduction of the throttle area at the throttle portion on the other side (the side where the throttle area is reduced) of the oil supply chamber, and the degree of this reduction is the magnitude of the relative angular displacement, That is, since the steering torque corresponds to the magnitude of the steering torque applied to the steering wheel, a steering assist force corresponding to the magnitude of the steering torque in the operation direction of the steering wheel is obtained by the hydraulic pressure generated by the power cylinder. In addition, the oil pushed out from the other cylinder chamber with the operation of such a power cylinder flows back to the other oil feed chamber of the hydraulic control valve, and a throttle portion having an increased throttle area on one side of the oil control chamber. A part of the oil introduced into the adjacent oil discharge chamber through the oil supply chamber through the oil supply chamber through the oil supply chamber also has a reflux restriction with a reduced throttle area on the other side of the oil supply chamber. After that, they are introduced into the adjacent oil discharge chambers, and these are both discharged to the oil tank.

As shown in FIG. 6, a general increasing characteristic of the steering assist force with an increase in the steering torque applied to the steering wheel has a certain region where a substantially constant small steering assist force can be obtained in a small steering torque range. This is a characteristic that shifts to an increase region in which the steering assist force increases with respect to a steering torque exceeding a predetermined value.

すことにより達成される。A power cylinder that generates a steering assist force is
It operates by the hydraulic pressure supplied from the hydraulic control valve, and as described above, the hydraulic pressure depends on the reduction of the throttle area in the throttle portion inside the hydraulic control valve. This is achieved by causing the throttle area of each throttle portion to have a region exhibiting a gradual decrease following the initial rapid decrease with respect to the relative angular displacement between the valve body and the valve body that occurs.

This is realized by providing a notch 42 as shown in FIG. 7 at the corner of the land 22 on the valve body 2 side, which faces the corner of the land 10 on the side of the valve body 2 and forms the throttle portion 4 between the corner and the corner. I can do it. That is, in this case, the valve body 2 relatively moves (relative angular displacement) with respect to the valve body 1 from the neutral state shown in (a), and the side wall of the land 10 and the side wall of the land 22 move as shown in (b). The aperture area of the aperture portion 4 rapidly decreases until approaching the direction, but the aperture area of the aperture portion 4 is reduced by the corner on the land 10 side until the close state shown in FIG. The gap in the radial direction between the notch and the notch 42, in other words, depends on the variation of the cut depth of the notch 42, by making the notch 42 tapered as shown,
It shows a gradual decrease with respect to the relative movement.

However, it is easy to work and easy to manage the dimensions. Because of the superiority in processing, a notch 42 having a simple tapered shape as shown in FIG. 7 is generally employed.

When the amount of oil supplied to the oil supply chamber is large and the amount of oil passing through the throttle unit 4 is large, that is, during high-speed running when the driving speed of the hydraulic pump as the hydraulic pressure source is large, the steering assist force changes from a constant region to an increasing region. 6 is not smoothly performed, and FIG.
As shown by the broken line in the middle, there is a case where unstable characteristics are obtained in which a sudden increase at the end of a certain area is followed by a transition to a normal increase state, and a sudden change in the steering sensation during this transition causes the driver to feel uncomfortable. There were difficulties to give.

However, this configuration has a problem in that the processing for forming the notch is complicated, and it is extremely difficult to realize a particularly small hydraulic control valve.

A part of the lands 10, 10... On the valve body 1 side is overlapped with the lands 22 on the valve body 2 facing each other, and the relative angular displacement between the valve body and the valve body exceeds a predetermined value. A configuration is disclosed in which the opening is started occasionally, and the above-mentioned unstable characteristics are eliminated by the synergistic action of these and the original throttle portion. However, in these configurations, in the neutral state, the large oil flow resistance in the overlap portion causes an increase in the load on the hydraulic pump as the hydraulic pressure source, and there is a disadvantage that the drive load of the hydraulic pump constantly increases.

4B is a graph showing an area change state in 4b. As described above, the transition point from the rapidly decreasing region to the gradually decreasing region in the narrowing portions 4a, 4a is as follows.
Since the displacement angle is shifted to the side where the displacement angle is larger than the transition point at the throttle portions 4b, 4b, the sudden decrease between the two transition points occurs during the reduction of the throttle area of the entire hydraulic control valve indicated by the solid line in the drawing. An intermediate region having an average reduction rate between the region and the gradually decreasing region appears, and the transition from the rapid decreasing region to the gradually decreasing region is performed slowly. By this gentle transition, the transition of the steering assist force from the constant region to the increasing region is surely performed, and there is little possibility that the unstable characteristic shown by the broken line in FIG. 6 occurs.

Both sides of the land with different widths
The amount of underlap in the throttle section of one
Land with larger width than width
A simple configuration in which notches are provided at the corners of each land including these so that the throttles formed by these are closed at substantially the same displacement angle, the entire throttles of the valve body and the valve body are provided. In this case, the transition from the rapid reduction area to the gradual reduction area of the throttle area can be made gradual, and the unstable characteristic generated at the oil supply destination at this transition is effectively eliminated. The risk of giving the driver a sense of discomfort due to a sudden change in sense is reduced. Also it is not necessary to form the notch portion with a complicated shape, it is possible to diameter of the valve body and the valve body, further, each of the diaphragm portions A
The present invention has an excellent effect, for example, since it has an under wrap and there is no throttle portion which is always in a closed state, so that a steady load on a hydraulic power source can be kept low.
