Hydraulic control system for high flow applications in motor vehicles
View Patent ↗A hydraulic control system for high flow applications in motor vehicles, in particular for active wheel suspensions and active steering arrangements, includes at least one passive high flow valve which is controlled hydraulically by at least one low flow valve.
1. A hydraulic pressure regulating device for an active chassis regulating system comprising:
front and rear actuators for the vehicle chassis;
a hydraulic control system for actuating the front and rear actuators, the hydraulic control system including:
two low flow valves,
a direction control valve arrangement and a blocking valve arrangement coupled to the direction control valve arrangement, the direction control valve arrangement and the blocking valve arrangement being formed from passive high flow valves,
and two connections for each of the front and rear actuators;
wherein the two low flow valves hydraulically control the direction control valve arrangement and the blocking valve arrangement, respectively,
the connections of the front and rear actuators being coupled to the direction control valve arrangement for establishing a direction of an actuator movement for each actuator, and
the blocking valve arrangement being arranged between the connections for the front actuator and the direction control valve arrangement for blocking the front actuator.
