Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the consumed energy of an oil pump and improve steering stability during the high-speed travel with a simple structure by constituting a flow control valve so as to be operated at a high speed and decrease the pressure in feed oil paths to a power cylinder. CONSTITUTION:The valve body 43 of a flow control valve 41 invariably cuts off an oil path 62 and an oil path 61. A valve 81 is provided on an oil path 82 connecting a back pressure chamber 54 and an oil tank 2, and it is normally closed and is opened by a centrifugal force or a car speed signal at a high speed. The oil in the oil path 82 is released to the oil tank 2 to decrease the pressure in the back pressure chamber 54. Then, the valve body 43 is slided toward the back pressure chamber 54, and the oil in oil paths 7, 61 is fed to the intake port 1a of an oil pump 1 via the oil path 62. Therefore, the feed pressure to a power cylinder 4 is decreased, and a steering force is made heavy. Accordingly, the consumed energy of the oil pump at a high speed can be reduced, and steering stability at the high-speed travel can be maintained with a simple structure.
