Abstract

The invention concerns a hydraulic steering ( 1 ) with a steering unit ( 2 ) with feedback behavior, a steering motor ( 8 ) connected to the steering unit ( 2 ) via working pipes (L, R), a steering member ( 6 ) and a feedback suppression device ( 9 ), which is located in at least one working pipe (L, R). It is endeavored to change the feedback behavior of such a steering in a simple manner. For this purpose, the feedback suppression device ( 9 ) has a valve arrangement ( 10 ) with hydraulic control inlet (C).

Claims (11)

1. A hydraulic steering with a steering unit with feedback behavior, a steering motor connected to the steering unit via working pipes, a steering member, and a feedback suppression device located in at least one working pipe,

wherein the feedback suppression device has a valve arrangement with hydraulic control inlet,

wherein for each working pipe the valve arrangement has a valve that interrupts the working pipe in a predetermined state; and

wherein a pressure relief valve is allocated to each valve that can be opened by both the pressure at the control inlet and the pressure in the respective other working pipe, and in the opened state connects a closing pressure side of the valve for each working pipe of the valve arrangement with the related working pipe.

2. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein the valve arrangement can also be opened by a pressure from the steering unit.

3. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein the control inlet is connected to an operation mode valve supplying the control inlet with a higher or a lower control pressure in dependence of activation of the operation mode valve.

4. The steering according to claim 3 , wherein the operation mode valve is arranged in series with a pressure control valve.

5. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein the valve arrangement has a pretensioning device, which acts against the pressure at the control inlet.

6. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein a series connection of two two-way valves is located between the two working pipes, the connecting point of said two-way valves being connected to the control inlet, each two-way valve having an outlet that is connected to the valve in the working pipe of the other two-way valve.

7. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein the steering unit has a load-sensing connection, whose pressure acts upon the valve arrangement against the pressure at the control inlet.

8. The steering according to claim 1 , wherein the steering unit has a working pressure connection, relieved in the neutral position of the steering unit to a low-pressure connection and carrying at a predetermined deflection of the steering unit the pressure ruling in the deflected working pipe, a pressure at the working pressure connection acting upon the valve arrangement against the pressure at the control inlet.
