What is the Principle of the Steering Gear?
1 Answers
The working principle of the steering gear is that when the car is driving straight, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflowing from the steering oil pump with the oil tank, and the steering oil pump is in an unloading state; when the car needs to turn right, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflowing from the steering oil pump with the R chamber, and connects the L chamber with the oil tank, causing the left and right wheels to deflect to the right through the transmission structure to achieve right steering. The function of the steering gear: The function of the steering gear is to increase the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering transmission mechanism and to change the direction of force transmission. Types of steering gears: Steering gears can be classified according to the form of assistance into mechanical (non-assisted) and power-assisted (assisted); mechanical steering gears can be further classified according to their structural forms into rack and pinion, recirculating ball, worm and sector, recirculating ball and sector, and worm and roller types; power-assisted steering gears can be further divided into pneumatic and hydraulic types based on the medium of energy transmission.
