Bevorzugte Ausführungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der hydraulischen Servolenkung ist die einen Druckmittel-Förderstrom zur Beeinflussung oder Übersteuerung der Lenktätigkeit des Fahrers vorgesehene zweite Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung als Geberzylinder, bevorzugt als doppelt-wirkender Geberzylinder gebildet. Ein Kolben in dem hydraulischen Geberzylinder verdrängt dazu in Abhängigkeit von seiner Verschieberichtung zu beiden Seiten in Arbeitsräumen des Geberzylinders . befindliches Druckmittel. Der Kolben wird bevorzugt direkt von einer Spindel, die ein Abtriebsglied des elektrischen Stellmotors bildet, durchragt und bei Rotation der Spindel axial in deren Längsrichtung verschoben. Auf diese Weise beeinflusst die Drehzahl und das Drehmoment des elektrischen Stellmotors direkt den Druckmittel- Druck der solchermaßen gebildeten zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung. Das Gewinde der Spindel bildet mit dem Kolben des Geberzylinders eine nicht selbsthemmende Bewegungsschraube. Es sind Einrichtungen vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die zweite Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung zu Kompensationszwecken mit dem Lenkaktuator synchronisiert werden kann. Der Druck in dem Lenkaktuator und der Verschiebeweg des Lenkaktuators entspricht dem Verhältnis der Stirnflächen des Kolbens in dem Geberzylinder und den Stirnflächen eines Kolbens in dem Lenkmomentstellmotor. Durch die Spindel, welche den Kolben in dem Geberzylinder dichtend durchragt, ist das Drehmoment des elektrischen Stellmotors proportional zu dem erzeugten Druck in dem Geberzylinder. Die Stromaufnahme des elektrischen Stellmotors ist damit proportional zu dem Druck in dem Lenkmomentstellmotor.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the hydraulic power steering system, the second pressure medium delivery device, which is provided with a pressure medium delivery flow for influencing or overriding the steering activity of the driver, is designed as a master cylinder, preferably as a double-acting master cylinder. For this purpose, a piston in the hydraulic master cylinder displaces on both sides in working spaces of the master cylinder depending on its direction of displacement. located pressure medium. The piston is preferably directly penetrated by a spindle, which forms an output member of the electric servomotor, and axially displaced in the longitudinal direction when the spindle rotates. In this way, the speed and the torque of the electric servomotor directly influence the pressure medium pressure of the second pressure medium delivery device formed in this way. The thread of the spindle forms a non-self-locking motion screw with the piston of the master cylinder. Devices are provided by means of which the second pressure medium delivery device can be synchronized with the steering actuator for compensation purposes. The pressure in the steering actuator and the Displacement of the steering actuator corresponds to the ratio of the end faces of the piston in the master cylinder and the end faces of a piston in the steering torque actuator. Due to the spindle, which sealingly projects through the piston in the master cylinder, the torque of the electric servomotor is proportional to the pressure generated in the master cylinder. The current consumption of the electric servomotor is therefore proportional to the pressure in the steering torque servomotor.

Die Drehzahl und das Drehmoment des vorzugsweise direkt mit der Druckmittel-Pumpe getrieblich verbunden elektrischen Stellmotors bestimmt auf diese Weise die Ansteuern ng des Lenkaktuators. Es kann zweckmäßig sein die Druckmittel-Pumpe als einseitig fördernde Druckmittel-Pumpe zu bilden und die Förderrichtung in Arbeitsräume des Lenkmomentstellmotors durch ein Wegeventil zu bestimmen.Instead of the master cylinder, it can be expedient to provide a pressure medium pump which delivers on both sides in the second pressure medium delivery device and is driven by the electric servomotor. In this way, the speed and the torque of the electric servomotor, which is preferably connected directly to the pressure medium pump, determines the control of the steering actuator. It can be expedient to form the pressure medium pump as a pressure medium pump that delivers on one side and to determine the direction of delivery in working spaces of the steering torque servomotor by a directional control valve.
Das Drehmoment des elektrischen Stellmotors der zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung ist proportional zu dem Druckmittel-Druck in dem Lenkmomentstellmotor des Lenkventils.The torque of the electric servomotor of the second pressure medium delivery device is proportional to the pressure medium pressure in the steering torque servomotor of the steering valve.
Es kann zweckmäßig sein, insbesondere um Lufteinschlüsse aus dem Druckmittel in der zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung zu entfernen, wenn die Arbeitsräume der zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung und insbesondere die Arbeitsräume des Lenkmomentstellmotors in dem Lenkventil über Blenden fluidisch mit einem Druckmittelbehälter in Verbindung stehen.It may be expedient, in particular in order to remove air pockets from the pressure medium in the second pressure medium delivery device, if the work spaces of the second pressure medium delivery device and in particular the work spaces of the steering torque servomotor in the steering valve are fluidly connected to a pressure medium container via orifices.
Der Systemdruck in dem hydraulischen Kreislauf an der zweiten Druckmittel- Fördereinrichtung läßt sich indirekt durch die elektrische Stromaufnahme des elektrischen Stellmotors ermitteln, da der Druck in dem betreffenden hydraulischen Kreislauf proportional zu dem Strom es elektrischen Stellmotors ist. Die erfindungsgemäße hydraulische Servolenkung eignet sich zur Fahrzeug- und Fahrtparameter-abhängigen Steuerung der zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung und damit des an dem Lenkaktuator und in den Arbeitsräumen eines hydraulischen Stellers des Lenkatuators anliegenden Druckes. Die hydraulische Servolenkung kann sowohl als Hilfskraft- als auch als Fremdkraftlenkung in der Art einer steer-by-wire - Lenkung ausgebildet sein.The system pressure in the hydraulic circuit on the second pressure medium delivery device can be determined indirectly by the electrical current consumption of the electric servomotor, since the pressure in the hydraulic circuit in question is proportional to the current of the electric servomotor.

Das Lenkventil 17 besitzt einen Druckanschluß 23, der von einer ersten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung 2 mit Druckmittel aus einem Behälter 24 beaufschlagt ist. Ferner weist das Lenkventil 17 einen Niederdruckanschluß 25 auf, der ebenfalls mit dem Behälter 24 fluidisch verbunden ist.

Die Arbeitsräume 14, 14' sind zu beiden Seiten eines Kolbens des als Servozylinder ausgebildeten hydraulischen Lenkaktuators 3 angeordnet. Das Lenkventils 17 weist eine offenen Mitte auf, wobei alle genannten Druckmittelleitungsanschlüsse an dem Lenkventil 17 miteinander kommunizieren, wenn die Drehschieberbuchse 21 und der Drehschieber 22 relativ zueinander eine Mittellage einnehmen. Der Drehschieber 22 ist mit der Drehschieberbuchse 21 durch einen axial durch diese Bauteile des Lenkventils 17 verlaufenden Drehstab 28 miteinander und begrenzt zueinander verdrehbar verbunden.FIG. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section through essential components of a hydraulic power steering system 1, which is designed as an auxiliary power steering system for a motor vehicle. In a cylindrical housing 20 of a steering valve 17 designed as a rotary slide valve 17, a rotary slide valve 22 is arranged coaxially in a rotary slide valve bushing 21. The steering valve 17 has a pressure connection 23 which is acted upon by a first pressure medium delivery device 2 with pressure medium from a container 24. Furthermore, the steering valve 17 has a low-pressure connection 25, which is also fluidly connected to the container 24. On the steering valve 17, two pressure medium lines 26, 27 are arranged diametrically to the low pressure connection 25 and pressure connection 23, each of which is fluidly connected to a working space 14, 14 'of a hydraulic steering actuator 3.

The steering valve 17 has an open center, with all of the pressure medium line connections mentioned on the steering valve 17 communicating with one another when the rotary slide bushing 21 and the rotary slide valve 22 assume a central position relative to one another.

Der Rotor 30 und ein Stator 31 des elektrischen Stellmotors 6 sind in dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 1 koaxial zu der Längsachse 32 des Geberzylinders 7 angeordnet. Es kann auch eine andere Anordnung etwa mit zwischen der Spindel 8 und dem elektrischen Stellmotor 6 angeordneten Getriebe vorgesehen werden. Die Spindel 8 weist ein nicht selbsthemmendes Gewinde 10 auf, sodaß der Geberzylinder 7 und der elektrische Stellmotor 6 von dem Lenkmomentstellmotor 16 übersteuerbar bleibt und auch synchronisierbar mit dem Lenkventil 17 und dem Lenkaktuator 3 ist. Ein Wegeventil 33 vermag den Geberzylinder 7 und den zweiten Druckmittel-Förderstrom fluidisch von den übrigen Komponenten der hydraulischen Servolenkung 1 zu trennen. In der Stellung des Wegeventils 33 wie in Fig. 1 entspricht der Druck in den Arbeitsräumen 15,15' des Lenkmomentstellmotors 16 dem Verhältnis der Flächen zwischen den Kolben 9 und 34 des Geberzylinders 7 und des Lenkmomentstellmotors 16. Das Drehmoment des elektrischen Stellmotors 6 ist proportional zu dem Druck in den Arbeitsräumen 14, 14' des Geberzylinders 7. Wird der eine oder andere Arbeitsraum 15,15' des hydraulischen Lenkmomentstellmotors 16 in dem Lenkventil 17 mit Druckmittel beaufschlagt - in Abhängigkeit von der Richtung und der Länge des Verschiebeweges des Kolbens 9 in dem Geberzylinder 7 - wird an den Anschlüssen der Druckmittelleitungen 26,27 des Lenkaktuators 3 an dem Lenkventil 17 eine mehr oder weniger große Druckdifferenz eingestellt und der Lenkaktuator 3 führt einen Stellhub unabhängig von der Sollwerteingabe an der Lenkhandhabe 4 aus. Dies kann durch ein Stellsignal einer Steuerungs- und/oder Regelungseinrichtung der hydraulischen Servolenkung 1 erfolgen, das eine Änderung der zugeführten Leistung etwa durch Änderung des Stromes oder der Spannung oder der Frequenz des Stromes, feldorientiert, bewirkt.In the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pressure medium delivery flow of the second pressure medium delivery device 5 is indirectly superimposed on the pressure medium delivery flow of the first pressure medium delivery device 2 by feeding it to a steering torque servomotor 16 in the steering valve 17. In order to generate a pressure medium flow of the second pressure medium delivery device 5 controlled in the direction and pressure in a simple manner according to the invention, a direct drive of a master cylinder 7 by the electric servomotor 6 is provided in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, so that it depends on the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions of a rotor 30 of the electric servomotor 6 drives a piston 9 with a spindle 8 connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the rotor 30. The rotor 30 and a stator 31 of the electric servomotor 6 are in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 arranged coaxially to the longitudinal axis 32 of the master cylinder 7. Another arrangement can also be provided, for example with a gear arranged between the spindle 8 and the electric servomotor 6. The spindle 8 has a non-self-locking thread 10, so that the master cylinder 7 and the electric servomotor 6 remain controllable by the steering torque servomotor 16 and can also be synchronized with the steering valve 17 and the steering actuator 3. A directional control valve 33 is able to fluidly separate the master cylinder 7 and the second pressure medium flow from the other components of the hydraulic power steering 1. In the position of the directional control valve 33 as in FIG. 1, the pressure in the working spaces 15, 15 'of the steering torque servomotor 16 corresponds to the ratio of the areas between the pistons 9 and 34 of the master cylinder 7 and the steering torque servomotor 16. The torque of the electric servomotor 6 is proportional to the pressure in the working spaces 14, 14 'of the master cylinder 7. If one or the other working space 15, 15' of the hydraulic steering torque servomotor 16 in the steering valve 17 is pressurized - depending on the direction and length of the displacement path of the piston 9 in the master cylinder 7 - a more or less large pressure difference is set at the connections of the pressure medium lines 26, 27 of the steering actuator 3 to the steering valve 17 and the steering actuator 3 carries out an actuating stroke independently of the setpoint input on the steering handle 4. This can be done by an actuating signal from a control and / or regulating device of the hydraulic power steering 1, which causes a change in the power supplied, for example by changing the current or the voltage or the frequency of the current, in a field-oriented manner.
In Figur 2 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer hydraulischen Servolenkung 1 gezeigt, mit dem Unterschied zu der Servolenkung in Figur 1 , dass die zweite Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung 5 von einer zweiseitig fördernden Druckmittel-Pumpe 11 gebildet ist, deren Druck und Förderrichtung direkt proportional zu der Drehzahl und der Drehrichtung des sie antreibenden elektrischen Stellmotors 6 ist. Für gleiche Bauteile gelten dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Figur 1.FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a hydraulic power steering system 1, with the difference from the power steering system in FIG. 1 that the second pressure medium delivery device 5 is formed by a pressure medium pump 11 which delivers on both sides and whose pressure and delivery direction are directly proportional to the speed and the direction of rotation of the electric servomotor 6 driving them. The same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 apply to the same components.
In Figur 3 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung 5 gezeigt, die eine einseitig fördernde Druckmittel-Pumpe 12 aufweist, die von dem elektrischen Stellmotor 6 angetrieben wird. Der Druckmittel-Förderstrom der Druckmittel-Pumpe 12 wird von einem 3/2 Wegeventil 13 das von der Steuerungs- und/oder Regelungseinrichtung des Fahrzeugs angesteuert ist, wahlweise den Arbeitsräumen 15,15' des Lenkmomentstellmotors 16 zugemessen.FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of a second pressure medium delivery device 5 which has a pressure medium pump 12 which delivers on one side and is driven by the electric servomotor 6. The pressure medium flow of the pressure medium pump 12 is from a 3/2-way valve 13 that the control and / or control device of the vehicle is controlled, optionally metered to the working spaces 15, 15 'of the steering torque servomotor 16.
In Fig. 2 sind die Verdrängungsräume der jeweiligen zweiten Druckmittel- Fördereinrichtung 5 über Blenden 18,18' mit einem Druckmittelbehälter 19 fluidisch verbunden, wodurch ein offener Druckmittel-Kreislauf gebildet ist, der den Abtransport von Gaseinschlüssen in dem Druckmittel ermöglicht.In FIG. 2, the displacement spaces of the respective second pressure medium delivery device 5 are fluidly connected to a pressure medium container 19 via orifices 18, 18 ', whereby an open pressure medium circuit is formed which enables gas inclusions in the pressure medium to be removed.
Der Druck des Druckmittels der zweiten Druckmittel-Fördereinrichtung 5 läßt sich indirekt durch die Stromaufnahme des elektrischen Stellmotors 6 ermitteln. The pressure of the pressure medium of the second pressure medium delivery device 5 can be determined indirectly by the current consumption of the electric servomotor 6.
