[0020] The valve sleeve 111 right end surface center is equipped with one boss 117;The boss 117 right end surface center is equipped with one sealing hole 118;The sliding core 113 left end surface center is equipped with the sealing head 119 matched with sealing hole 118;Oil inlet hole 115 is arranged at the valve sleeve 111 left end surface center, and the bottom center of oil inlet hole 115 hole is penetrated with the opening and closing hole 120 with the bottom center of sealing hole 118, and the sealing head 119 blocks the right end hole of opening and closing hole 120 seal;The boss 117 outer wall is equipped with one drainage hole 121 that is penetrated with sealing hole 118;The boss 117 outer wall and the inner wall between mounting hole 110 have an oil passage gap 122, and oil outlet hole 116 and oil passage gap 122 are penetrated.
[0021] The diameter of the left end of sealing head 119 and the right end hole of opening and closing hole 120 gradually decreases from right to left.
[0022] The valve cover 106 center is equipped with one through hole 123, and armature 107 is located in through hole 123;The armature 107 center is equipped with the connection hole 124 matched with sliding core 113;When the drive coil 105 excitation magnetic field makes armature 107 left shift, armature 107 can synchronously drive sliding core 113 left shift.
[0023] The inner wall of the right end hole of the through hole 123 is provided with a ring-shaped clamping groove 125, and the outer edge of the compression spring sheet 114 is clamped in the clamping groove 125; the right inner wall of the rear cover 108 presses the compression spring sheet 114 on the left groove wall of the clamping groove 125.
[0024] The outer wall of the valve cover 106 is provided with a ring-shaped fixing portion 126, and the fixing portion 126 is attached to the right end surface of the valve seat 101; the left end surface of the valve cover 106 is attached to the right side wall of the signal input seat 103.
[0025] The upper surface of the valve seat 101 is provided with an opening 127 on the right side; the upper surface of the signal input seat 103 is provided with a signal input head 128 matched with the opening 127.
[0026] The fixing portion 126 and the valve seat 101, and the rear cover 108 and the valve cover 106 are fixed by a plurality of evenly distributed screws.
[0027] The use method of the utility model is as follows:
[0028] The signal input head 128 can be used for connecting a power steering control unit, when the automobile is driven at low speed, the current obtained by the electromagnetic valve 1 is large, and when the automobile is driven at high speed, the current obtained by the electromagnetic valve 1 is small.
[0029] When the automobile is driven at high speed, since the current delivered to the electromagnetic valve 1 is small, the magnetic field generated by the driving coil 105 is limited, and therefore the magnetic field has very limited suction force on the armature 107, the slide core 113 almost does not move to the left, and the right end hole of the opening and closing hole 120 is in a completely open state or a state of being largely opened, and at this time, the flow rate of the oil liquid flowing to the oil outlet hole through the opening and closing hole 120 is large.
[0030] When the automobile is driven at low speed, with the current delivered to the electromagnetic valve 1, the current flows through the driving coil 105, thereby exciting the magnetic field, and the greater the current, the greater the suction force of the magnetic field on the armature 107, when the armature 107 is attracted, the armature 107 moves to the left, thereby driving the slide core 113 to move to the left along the track of the sliding hole 112, when the slide core 113 moves to the left, the sealing head 119 arranged at the center of the left end surface of the slide core 113 constantly approaches the opening and closing hole 120, at this time, the flow rate of the oil liquid flowing to the oil outlet hole 116 through the opening and closing hole 120 constantly decreases, when the sealing head 119 blocks the right end hole of the opening and closing hole 120, the oil liquid is directly intercepted in the oil inlet hole 115 and cannot flow to the oil outlet hole 116, and at the same time, with the slide core 113 moving to the left, the middle part of the compression spring sheet 114 is pulled to the left and deformed to generate an elastic force, and this elastic force can make the slide core 113 and the armature 107 move to the right and reset after the current stops being delivered to the electromagnetic valve 1.
[0031] The oil outlet hole 116 is connected with the oil storage tank 2 through a bypass oil passage, so that when the oil flows into the oil outlet hole 116 through the oil inlet hole 115 and the opening and closing hole 120 in sequence, the oil can be returned to the oil storage tank 2 through the bypass oil passage.
[0032] As can be seen from the above, when the automobile is running at low speed and high speed, the current supplied to the electromagnetic valve 1 is different, thereby effectively controlling the flow of the oil through the oil inlet hole 115 of the electromagnetic valve 1 to the oil outlet hole 116 through the different currents. During the running of the automobile, the steering assist pump 3 sucks the oil from the oil storage tank 2, flows through the steering control valve 4 and returns to the oil storage tank 2, and is always in a constant flow state. At the same time, the oil sucked by the steering assist pump 3 from the oil storage tank 2 flows to the electromagnetic valve 1 and the steering power cylinder 5. Therefore, when the automobile is running at low speed, the greater the current supplied to the electromagnetic valve 1, the smaller the flow of the oil through the electromagnetic valve 1 and the bypass oil passage to the oil storage tank 2, and the greater the flow of the oil sucked by the steering assist pump 3 from the oil storage tank 2 to the steering power cylinder 5, so that the hydraulic force applied to the piston 501 of the steering power cylinder 5 becomes greater, thereby reducing the steering force. When the automobile is running at high speed, the smaller the current supplied to the electromagnetic valve 1, the greater the flow of the oil through the electromagnetic valve 1 and the bypass oil passage to the oil storage tank, and the smaller the flow of the oil sucked by the steering assist pump from the oil storage tank to the steering power cylinder, thereby achieving the effect of unloading the hydraulic force, reducing the hydraulic force applied to the piston of the steering power cylinder 5, and making the steering force become heavy, thereby automatically adjusting the assist force when the hydraulic force is too large during high-speed running of the automobile or the hydraulic force is too small during low-speed running of the automobile, and making the steering hand force stable, thereby precisely controlling the rotation of the steering wheel 6.
[0033] During the running of the automobile, the steering assist pump 3 sucks the oil from the oil storage tank 2, flows through the steering control valve 4 and returns to the oil storage tank 2, and is always in a constant flow state. The steering control valve 4 includes a steering valve core and a steering valve sleeve. When the two entities are angularly displaced, the oil is distributed to the corresponding end of the steering power cylinder 5 side, pushing the piston 501 to act, providing assist force for steering. When the steering wheel 6 rotates clockwise, the torsion bar torsion deformation linkage valve core rotates clockwise. The steering valve sleeve and the gear 7 are fixed together, the gear 7 is engaged with the rack 8 and moves to the left side, so that the steering valve core and the steering valve sleeve are angularly displaced, and the hydraulic oil flows through the aperture between the steering valve core and the steering valve sleeve of the steering control valve 4 to the right end of the steering power cylinder 5, pushing the piston 501 to move to the left, and the oil on the left side of the steering power cylinder 5 flows back to the oil storage tank through the oil hole of the steering valve core. When the steering wheel 6 rotates counterclockwise, the opposite is true.
[0034] The diameter of the left end of the sealing head 119 and the right end of the opening of the opening and closing hole 120 gradually decreases from right to left. This structure design makes the gap between the left end of the sealing head 119 and the right end of the opening of the opening and closing hole 120 become smaller, thereby effectively controlling the flow of oil. When the left end of the sealing head 119 is completely inserted into the right end of the opening of the opening and closing hole 120, the outer wall of the left end of the sealing head 119 is in close contact with the inner wall of the right end of the opening of the opening and closing hole 120, thereby completely sealing the right end of the opening of the opening and closing hole 120.
[0035] The inner wall of the right end of the through hole 123 is provided with a ring-shaped clamping groove 125, the outer edge of the compression spring piece 114 is clamped in the clamping groove 125, and the right inner wall of the rear cover 108 presses the compression spring piece 114 on the left groove wall of the clamping groove 125. This fixing method of the compression spring piece 114 is beneficial to the disassembly and assembly of the compression spring piece 114. When the compression spring piece 114 is fixed on the right end of the sliding core 113, a limiting head 129 can be arranged on the right end of the sliding core 113, and then a fastener 130 is arranged on the sliding core 113, the middle part of the compression spring piece 114 is clamped between the limiting head 129 and the fastener 130, thereby the compression spring piece 114 can be fixed on the right end of the sliding core 113.
[0036] The center of the armature 107 is provided with a connecting hole 124 matched with the sliding core 113. The connecting hole 124 and the sliding core 113 can be in interference fit, thereby the fixing between the sliding core 113 and the armature 107 can be realized, and the armature 107 can also be fixed on the sliding core 113 through a screw or other fixing component.
[0037] The outer wall of the valve cover 106 is provided with a ring-shaped fixing part 126, the fixing part 126 is in close contact with the right end surface of the valve seat 101, and the left end surface of the valve cover 106 is in close contact with the right side wall of the signal input seat 103. This fixing method can ensure the stability of the signal input seat 103.
[0038] The fixing part 126 and the valve seat 101, and the rear cover 108 and the valve cover 106 are fixed through a plurality of evenly distributed screws. This fixing method not only can ensure the stability between the fixing part 126 and the valve seat 101, and between the rear cover 108 and the valve cover 106, but also is beneficial to the disassembly and assembly of the valve cover 106 and the rear cover 108, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the signal input seat 103.
