Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic steering device that hydraulically connects a steering cylinder to a supply system, whereby the supply system is hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a steering valve to form a main flow connection and the supply system is hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a flow regulation valve arrangement to form a branch flow connection that circumvents the main flow connection, whereby the flow regulation valve arrangement is triggerable by an electric control unit and the flow regulation valve arrangement comprises valve groups that are triggerable individually, which are respectively connected in the forward flow and return flow of the branch flow connection and a release-shutoff valve is assigned to the flow regulation valve arrangement. It is provided that the release-shutoff valve is connected between the flow regulation valve arrangement and the steering cylinder.

Claims (9)

1. A hydraulic steering device comprising:

a steering cylinder hydraulically connectable to a supply system,

wherein

the supply system is hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a steering valve to form a main flow connection and hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a flow regulation valve arrangement to form a branch flow connection that circumvents the main flow connection, and

the flow regulation valve arrangement is triggerable by an electric control unit and comprises valve groups that are triggerable individually, which are respectively connected in a forward flow of the branch flow connection and a return flow of the branch flow connection, and

a release-shutoff valve assigned to the flow regulation valve arrangement and connected between the flow regulation valve arrangement and the steering cylinder.

2. The hydraulic steering device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve groups comprise a first valve group and a second valve group, the first valve group comprises a first valve that is connectable to an inflow connection and a second valve that is connectable to a return flow connection, and the second valve group comprises a third valve that is connectable to the inflow connection and a fourth valve that is connectable to the return flow connection.

3. The hydraulic steering device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the release-shutoff valve is disposed in a through-flow position, a first cylinder connection assigned for the left steering is connected to the first valve and the forth valve and a second cylinder connection assigned for the right steering is connected to the second valve and the third valve.

4. The hydraulic steering device according to claim 1 , wherein, with an unrequested steering movement, the release-shutoff valve is disposed in the closed position and the second valve and the forth valve are disposed in the open position.
