Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a valve core sleeve, in particular to a valve core sleeve with a pressure equalizing function, and belongs to the technical field of hydraulic transmission parts. Background Art
[0002] The valve core sleeve is composed of a valve core and a valve sleeve outside it. It is the core component of the full hydraulic steering gear (its typical structure can be found in the Chinese patent document with application number 201110195256.9 and the name "Full Hydraulic Steering Gear"). Its function is to switch the oil circuit as needed to achieve the required steering control. The driver turns the steering wheel to move the valve core in the valve core sleeve, thereby changing the hydraulic flow direction, allowing the hydraulic oil to enter the hydraulic cylinder to generate pressure, pushing the steering gear, and thus assisting the steering.
[0003] However, the inventors of the present application have discovered that the existing valve core and valve sleeve structure has at least the following technical problems: the oil flow area between the valve core and valve sleeve currently on the market is small, the power assist provided by the hydraulic power steering system is small, and the steering pressure of the wheel cannot be quickly fed back to the steering wheel, causing the valve core sleeve to become stuck and the pressure to be uneven, making it difficult for the driver to operate the vehicle when steering at low speed or when the vehicle is parked, which is very likely to cause the driver to make operational errors and lead to adverse consequences.

[0006] Preferably, one crescent groove is provided on both sides of the end of the flow channel, and the crescent grooves on both sides are symmetrically arranged.
