[0002] At present, a steering control valve and its supporting structure are commonly seen in China. Its return oil circuit structure is simple, but its external axial and radial support accuracy is insufficient. The other two existing steering control valves and their supporting structures solve the shortcomings of the existing first steering control valve and its supporting structure. However, since the seat ring of the four-point contact ball bearing adopts a pressing structure, the return oil circuit of the existing first steering control valve is cut off and the return oil circuit needs to be redesigned. The internal return oil circuit of the existing second steering control valve is arranged in four circumferentially evenly distributed return oil holes on the upper part of the valve sleeve of the screw, with an inclined hole design. The external return oil circuit has a return oil groove arranged in the valve body and the lower seat ring of the four-point contact ball bearing. The bearing annular raceway on the outer circle of the valve sleeve protrudes from the outer circle of the valve sleeve, resulting in its structure being not compact and having a small scope of application.
