Detailed Description
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. For ease of understanding, elements shown in the drawings may include elements whose dimensions, scales, and the like are different from actual dimensions, scales, and the like.
The swash plate pump 10 described below is a so-called variable displacement swash plate type piston pump. The swash plate pump 10 pumps working oil into a cylinder chamber 21 to be discussed later and discharges the working oil from the cylinder chamber 21. More specifically, the shaft member 18 is rotated by power from a power source such as an engine, the cylinder block 20 coupled to the shaft member 18 by spline coupling or the like is rotated, and the piston 25 is reciprocated by the rotation of the cylinder block 20. By the reciprocating operation of the piston 25, the working oil is sucked into a partial cylinder chamber 21 and the working oil is discharged from the other cylinder chamber 21.
Typically, the swash plate pump 10 of the present embodiment can be used as a hydraulic circuit or a drive device provided in a construction machine, but may be applied to other applications, and the application is not particularly limited. Fig. 1 shows a
In general, the
Next, the swash plate pump 10 will be described.
The swash plate pump 10 includes a housing 15, a shaft member 18, a cylinder block 20, pistons 25, a valve plate 30, a tilt adjustment mechanism 35, and a
As shown in fig. 2, the housing 15 has a 1 st housing component 15a and a 2 nd housing component 15b fixed to the 1 st housing component 15 a. The 1 st housing component 15a and the 2 nd housing component 15b are fixed to each other using a fastener such as a bolt. The housing 15 has a housing space S formed therein. The cylinder block 20, the piston 25, the valve plate 30, the yaw adjusting mechanism 35, and the
In the illustrated example, the valve plate 30 is disposed inside the 1 st housing assembly 15 a. The 1 st housing assembly 15a is formed with a 1 st oil passage 11 and a 2 nd oil passage 12 that communicate with the cylinder chamber 21 of the cylinder block 20 via the valve plate 30. In the drawings, the 1 st oil passage 11 and the 2 nd oil passage 12 are represented by lines for convenience of explanation, but actually have appropriate inner dimensions (inner diameters) corresponding to supply and discharge of the hydraulic oil to and from the cylinder chamber 21 of the cylinder block 20. The 1 st oil passage 11 and the 2 nd oil passage 12 are provided so as to penetrate the casing 15 from inside the casing 15 to outside the casing 15. The 1 st oil passage 11 and the 2 nd oil passage 12 each communicate with an actuator, a hydraulic pressure source, and the like provided outside the swash plate pump 10.
The shaft member 18 is rotatably supported by the housing 15 via bearings 19a and 19 b. The shaft member 18 is rotatable about its central axis line as a rotation axis RA. One end of the shaft member 18 is rotatably supported by the 1 st housing component 15a via a bearing 19 b. The other end of the shaft member 18 is rotatably supported by the 2 nd housing assembly 15b via a bearing 19a, and the other end of the shaft member 18 extends out of the housing 15 through a through hole provided in the 2 nd housing assembly 15 b. A seal member is provided between the housing 15 and the shaft member 18 at a portion where the shaft member 18 penetrates the housing 15, and prevents the working oil from flowing out of the housing 15. A portion of the shaft member 18 extending from the housing 15 is connected to an input member such as a motor, an engine, or the like.
The cylinder 20 has a cylindrical or cylindrical shape disposed around the rotation axis RA. The cylinder block 20 is penetrated by the shaft member 18. The cylinder block 20 is coupled to the shaft member 18 by, for example, spline coupling. The cylinder block 20 is rotatable about the rotation axis RA in synchronization with the shaft member 18.
Further, in the case of spline coupling between the shaft member 18 and the cylinder block 20, the shaft member 18 has spline teeth on its surface extending in an axial direction DA parallel to the rotation axis RA. Further, a part of the spline teeth may be exposed to the housing space S in the housing 15 without being covered by the cylinder block 20. The spline teeth exposed inside the housing 15 can promote the discharge of air (air bubbles) remaining inside the housing 15 as discussed later. It is particularly preferred that the spline teeth exposed in the housing 15 extend into the
The cylinder block 20 has a plurality of cylinder chambers 21 formed therein. The plurality of cylinder chambers 21 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis RA. Each cylinder chamber 21 opens on the
A piston 25 is provided corresponding to each cylinder chamber 21. A part of each piston 25 is disposed in the cylinder chamber 21. Each piston 25 extends in the axial direction DA from the corresponding cylinder chamber 21 toward the
The
As shown in fig. 2, the shoe 26 is provided on the contact surface portion CS of the
The swash plate pump 10 further includes a holding plate 27 disposed in the housing 15. The holding plate 27 is an annular and plate-shaped member. The holding plate 27 is inserted through the shaft member 18 and supported by the shaft member 18. The support portion 18a of the shaft member 18 that supports the retaining plate 27 is formed in a curved surface shape. Therefore, the holding plate 27 can change its orientation in a state of being supported by the shaft member 18. As shown in fig. 2, the plate-like holding plate 27 is inclined along the contact surface portion CS of the
Further, a piston pressing member 28 including a spring and the like is provided between the shaft member 18 and the holding plate 27. The retainer plate 27 is pressed against the
The valve plate 30 is fixed to the 1 st housing assembly 15 a. That is, the valve plate 30 is stationary while the cylinder block 20 rotates together with the shaft member 18. The valve plate 30 has two or more ports, not shown. Each port communicates with the 1 st oil passage 11 or the 2 nd oil passage 12. The ports are formed, for example, along an arc centered on the rotation axis RA, and face the connection ports 22 corresponding to the respective cylinder chambers 21 in sequence as the cylinder block 20 rotates. As a result, the connection between the cylinder chambers 21 and the 1 st oil passage 11 and the 2 nd oil passage 12 is switched according to the rotation state of the cylinder block 20.
Here, the operation of the swash plate pump 10 will be described. The shaft member 18 rotates about the rotation axis line RA by a rotational driving force from an input member such as a motor or an engine, not shown. At this time, the piston 25 advances so as to protrude from the cylinder 20 and retreats into the cylinder 20 as the cylinder 20 rotates. The volume of the cylinder chamber 21 changes due to the forward and backward movements of the piston 25.
During a period in which the piston 25 retreats from a position (top dead center) at which it extends out to the maximum extent from the cylinder chamber 21 to a position (bottom dead center) at which it enters into the cylinder chamber 21 to the maximum extent, the capacity of the cylinder chamber 21 in which the piston 25 is housed decreases. During at least a part of this period, the cylinder chamber 21 housing the piston 25 that is moving backward is connected to, for example, the 1 st oil passage 11 via a port, not shown, of the valve plate 30, and the working oil is discharged from the cylinder chamber 21. The 1 st oil passage 11 is connected to an external actuator or the like as a high-pressure side flow passage.
On the other hand, the capacity of the cylinder chamber 21 in which the piston 25 is accommodated increases while the piston 25 advances from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. During at least a part of this period, the cylinder chamber 21 housing the advancing piston 25 is connected to, for example, the 2 nd oil passage 12 via a port, not shown, of the valve plate 30, and the working oil is sucked into the cylinder chamber 21. The 2 nd oil passage 12 is connected as a low-pressure side flow passage to a tank or the like for storing hydraulic oil.

In the illustrated example, the flow path P communicates with the high-pressure side cylinder chamber 21. Therefore, the working oil in the cylinder chamber 21 on the high pressure side is supplied to the chamber CA. As shown in fig. 3, one end of the flow path P opens at a position facing the high-pressure side cylinder chamber of the contact surface portion CS. The other end of the flow path P communicates with a chamber CA provided between the 1 st supported portion 53A and the 1 st swash plate supporting portion 73A of the
In the swash plate pump 10 having the above-described configuration, the housing space S in the housing 15 is filled with the working oil. When the swash plate pump 10 is used while air remains in the housing space S, there is a possibility that abnormal noise may be generated, operation failure may occur, and the pump may be damaged. Therefore, the air is removed from the casing 15 before the swash plate pump 10 is used after manufacture, before the swash plate pump 10 is used after disassembly and maintenance, or before the swash plate pump 10 is used after replacement of the working oil. Conventionally, this air discharge is performed through a discharge port 13 (see fig. 2) formed in the casing 15.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a work load for discharging air from the housing 15 is considered to be reduced. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the
In particular, in the illustrated example, the 2
In the housing 15, when the shaft member 18 rotates, the hydraulic oil having a higher specific gravity than that of air moves outward in the radial direction due to the centrifugal force. Conversely, when the shaft member 18 rotates, air having a smaller specific gravity than the working oil moves radially inward. Here, the radial direction refers to a direction orthogonal to the central axis RA. Further, the radially outer side refers to a side radially distant from the central axis RA, and the radially inner side refers to a side radially close to the central axis RA. Therefore, when the swash plate pump 10 starts to operate and the shaft member 18 rotates, air in the housing 15 is likely to collect around the shaft member 18.
The 1
In particular, in the illustrated example, the
The shoe 26 has an outer contour covering the entire 2
Further, in the case where the shaft member 18 is spline-coupled with the cylinder block 20, the shaft member 18 has spline teeth extending in an axial direction DA parallel to the rotation axis RA on its surface. Further, since the part of the spline teeth is exposed to the housing space S in the housing 15 without being covered by the cylinder block 20, the centrifugal force can be efficiently applied to the hydraulic oil in the housing space S. This can facilitate the movement of the hydraulic oil in the housing space S to the radially outer side. At the same time, the movement of the air in the housing space S to the radially inner side can be promoted, and the air can be efficiently discharged. When the spline teeth exposed in the housing 15 extend into the
However, the movement of the air radially inward is not limited to the movement by the exposed spline teeth, and may be performed by a convex portion or the like provided on the rotating shaft member 18. The movement of the air into the
When the change per unit time in the volume of the cylinder chamber 21 becomes large, the suction force from the cylinder chamber 21 on the low pressure side becomes large. Therefore, when the cylinder chamber 21 passes through an intermediate position PM between a bottom dead center position PY at which the piston 25 positioned at the bottom dead center and retreating to the maximum extent into the cylinder chamber 21 is accommodated and a top dead center position PX at which the piston 25 positioned at the top dead center and projecting from the cylinder chamber 21 to the maximum extent, in the circumferential direction DC centered on the rotation axis RA of the shaft member 18, the suction force becomes maximum in the plan view of the contact surface portion CS shown in fig. 5. Further, the 2
According to the embodiment described above, the swash plate pump 10 includes: a shaft member 18; a cylinder 20 held by the shaft member 18; a piston 25 disposed movably in the cylinder chamber 21 of the cylinder block 20; a slipper 26 connected to an end of the piston 25; a
While one embodiment has been described with reference to a plurality of specific examples, these specific examples are not intended to limit the embodiment. The above-described embodiment can be implemented in various other specific examples, and various omissions, substitutions, changes, additions, and the like can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
An example of the modification will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, the same reference numerals as those used for corresponding portions of the above-described specific example are used for portions that can be configured in the same manner as the above-described specific example, and overlapping description is omitted.
First, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the flow path P provided in the
In the example shown in fig. 6, the flow path P includes a high-pressure side flow path PA, a low-pressure side flow path PB, a 1 st relay flow path PC, and a 2 nd relay flow path PD. The high-pressure side passage PA extends linearly between the high-pressure side chamber CA and a position of the contact surface portion CS facing the high-pressure side cylinder chamber 21. The high-pressure side flow path PA can be the same as the flow path P of the example shown in fig. 5. The low-pressure side flow passage PB extends linearly and communicates with the low-pressure side chamber CB. The 1 st relay flow path PC extends linearly and communicates with the high-pressure side flow path PA. In particular, in the illustrated example, the 1 st relay flow path PC intersects the high-pressure side flow path PA. The 2 nd relay flow path PD extends linearly and communicates with the low-pressure side flow path PB. In particular, in the illustrated example, the 2 nd relay flow passage PD intersects the low-pressure side flow passage PB. In addition, the 1 st relay flow path PC and the 2 nd relay flow path PD communicate with each other.
These high-pressure side flow passage PA, low-pressure side flow passage PB, 1 st relay flow passage PC, and 2 nd relay flow passage PD can be easily formed by machining such as drilling, as an example. In the illustrated example, the high-pressure side flow passage PA penetrates the
The flow path P includes the four high-pressure side flow paths PA, the low-pressure side flow paths PB, the 1 st relay flow path PC, and the 2 nd relay flow path PD extending linearly, and thus the flow path P can be easily produced without interfering with the
In the example shown in fig. 6, the high-pressure side chamber CA may be formed by a recess formed in the supported surface 55 of the 1 st supported portion 53A, a recess formed in the support surface 75 of the 1 st swash plate support portion 73A, or a combination of a recess formed in the supported surface 55 of the 1 st supported portion 53A and a recess formed in the support surface 75 of the 1 st swash plate support portion 73A. The low pressure side chamber CB may be formed by a recess formed in the supported surface 55 of the 2 nd supported portion 53B, a recess formed in the supporting surface 75 of the 2 nd swash plate supporting portion 73B, or a combination of a recess formed in the supported surface 55 of the 2 nd supported portion 53B and a recess formed in the supporting surface 75 of the 2 nd swash plate supporting portion 73B.
