Abstract

The invention concerns a fully hydraulic steering with a steering member, a steering unit that can be activated by the steering member, said steering unit comprising a supply connection arrangement (P, T) with a pressure connection (P) and a tank connection (T), and a working connection arrangement (L, R) with two working connections (L, R), and a steering motor, which is connected with the working connection arrangement (L, R). It is endeavored to increase the possibilities of steering. For this purpose, it is ensured that an auxiliary force operated steering valve is arranged in parallel to the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R).

Claims (9)

1. A fully hydraulic steering with a steering member, a steering unit that can be activated by the steering member, said steering unit comprising a supply connection arrangement with a pressure connection and a tank connection, and a working connection arrangement with two working connections, and a steering motor, which is connected with the working connection arrangement, wherein an auxiliary force operated steering valve is arranged in parallel to the steering unit between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (L, R), said auxiliary force operated steering valve being configured to supply said steering motor with hydraulic fluid.

2. A steering according to claim 1 , wherein the steering member acts upon a sensor, whose outlet is connected with a steering valve control device.

3. A steering according to claim 2 , wherein the sensor produces a proportional steering signal.

4. A steering according to claim 1 , wherein a share of the fluid supplied to the steering motor, originating from the steering valve, can be changed.

5. A steering according to claim 1 , wherein the steering valve is put together with the steering unit.

6. A steering according to claim 5 , wherein the steering valve is flanged onto the steering unit.

7. A steering according to claim 5 , wherein the steering valve is built into the steering unit.

8. A steering according to claim 1 , wherein at least parts of a control electronics are arranged on the outside of the steering unit.

9. A steering according to claim 1 , wherein a steering motor sensor is arranged on the steering motor, a leakage compensation device being provided, which contains the steering valve.
