[0007] The motor is high-voltage permanent magnet synchronous motor.
[0008] The hydraulic valve steering gear 3, when vehicle does not carry out steering operation, hydraulic oil directly from the oil inlet P of hydraulic valve steering gear 3 to oil return port, when vehicle steering, hydraulic oil from the execution element oil inlet A of hydraulic valve steering gear 3 to the rod cavity of hydraulic cylinder 4 after passing through oil cylinder backflow to the execution element oil return port B of hydraulic valve steering gear, at this time, oil cylinder elongation, the included angle between the oil cylinder side front and rear frame is increased, and vehicle steering is realized.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses an electric power steering pump as the hydraulic power source for the steering system. When an articulated vehicle is steering, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder changes the angle between the front and rear axles to achieve the steering action of the vehicle.

[0011] Among them, 1 is the electric power steering pump; 2 is the hydraulic pipeline; 3 is the hydraulic valve steering gear; 4 is the hydraulic cylinder; 5 is the hydraulic oil tank; 6 is the front and rear frames and wheels; and 7 is the center hinge seat. Detailed Implementation
[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0013] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same technical meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, an articulated vehicle electro-hydraulic steering system includes front and rear frames and wheels 6, as well as an electric steering pump 1, hydraulic lines 2, a hydraulic valve steering gear 3, a hydraulic cylinder 4, and a hydraulic oil tank 5 mounted on the front and rear frames. The oil outlet of the hydraulic oil tank 5 is connected to the oil inlet of the electric steering pump 1. The oil outlet of the electric steering pump 1 is connected to the oil inlet P of the hydraulic valve steering gear 3 through the hydraulic lines 2. The system return port T of the hydraulic valve steering gear 3 is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 5 through the hydraulic lines 2. The actuator inlet A of the hydraulic valve steering gear 3 is connected to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the actuator return port B of the hydraulic valve steering gear 3 is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 4.
[0015] It also includes a center hinge 7, which is a pivot connecting the front and rear frames. The hydraulic cylinder 4 stretches and compresses to make the front and rear frames rotate around the center hinge axis.
[0016] The electric power steering pump 1 includes a controller, a motor, and a hydraulic pump connected to and driven by the motor. The control terminal of the motor is connected to the controller, which is connected to the vehicle's CAN bus. The controller is enabled by low voltage and is used to drive the motor to drive the hydraulic pump to generate high-pressure oil. The high-pressure oil provides hydraulic power to the system through the hydraulic pipeline 2.
[0017] The motor is a high-voltage permanent magnet synchronous motor.
[0018] When the vehicle is not steering, the hydraulic oil flows directly from the inlet P to the return port of the hydraulic valve steering device 3. When the vehicle turns left or right, the hydraulic oil flows from the inlet A of the actuator of the hydraulic valve steering device 3 to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 4, passes through the cylinder, and flows back to the return port B of the actuator of the hydraulic valve steering device. At this time, the cylinder extends, and the angle between the front and rear frames on the cylinder side increases, thus enabling the vehicle to turn left or right.
[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the vehicle starts and moves, the electric power steering pump drives the motor to drive the hydraulic pump to generate high-pressure oil. The high-pressure oil provides hydraulic power to the system through the hydraulic pipeline 2. If the controller of the electric power steering pump does not receive a steering signal, the hydraulic oil flows directly from the inlet P of the hydraulic valve steering device 3 to the return port. If the controller of the electric power steering pump receives a steering signal, the hydraulic oil flows from the inlet A of the actuator of the hydraulic valve steering device 3 to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 4, passes through the cylinder, and flows back to the return port B of the actuator of the hydraulic valve steering device. At this time, the cylinder extends, and the angle between the front and rear frames on the cylinder side increases, realizing the vehicle turning left or right.
[0020] This invention uses an electric power steering pump as the hydraulic power source for the steering system. When an articulated vehicle is steering, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder changes the angle between the front and rear axles to achieve the steering action. Based on the characteristics of pure electric vehicles and the current situation of articulated vehicles, this invention provides a safe and effective pure electric steering system solution.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
