Description
- The present invention relates to a gear pump or motor having gears which engage each other with their external teeth.
- More particularly, it relates to a gear pump or motor with a cover and a mounting flange provided on both sides of a housing, the shafts protruding on both sides of the two gears and being supported by the bearings provided in the cover and the mounting flange, and with a seal block arranged on the high pressure side of the housing, to seal the tooth tops of the gears on the delivery side.
- In a gear pump or motor of this kind known hitherto, the seal block is supported by the side plates, and the side plates form curved surfaces to accurately fit the bearings as bushings protruding a little toward the chamber of the housing and contact the surface of the seal block which is in contact with the tooth tops on the side opposite to the bushings.
- When- the seal block is supported by the side plates in this way, the tooth top clearances between said seal block and the gears are kept in an optimum condition.
- Therefore, if any dimensional error exists in any of said side plates, the surface of the seal block in contact with the tooth tops may be deeply shaven off by the gears, so as to impair the sealing function.
- For this reason, the dimensions of said side plates and bushings are strictly controlled, to let the inside diameter of the curved surfaces of the side plates perfectly coincide with the outside diameter of the bushings.
- However, to attain perfect coincidence in these dimensions is difficult, and some dimensional errors occur actually.
- If any dimensional error occurs in spite of the effort to attain perfect dimensional coincidence, the respective components such as side plates interfere with one another when they are going to be assembled, so as not to allow assembling, which is a disadvantage.
- Objects-of the invention :
- A first object of the present invention is to provide a gear pump or motor, in which the inside diameter of said curved surfaces of said s.ide plates is made larger than the outside diameter of the bearings, so that said curved surfaces may contact the bearings at one point of each of said curved surfaces when they are assembled, to prevent the interference of the respective components during assembling, allowing the optimum control of the tooth top clearances.
- A second object of the present invention is to provide agear pump or motor, in which the inside diameter of said side plates is made larger beforehand than the outside diameter of the bearings, so that said side plates may contact the bearings with an optimum condition kept when the gear pump or motor is operated.
- A third object of the present invention is to provide a gear pump or motor, in which the tooth top clearances can be automatically corrected even if the housing expands or contracts due to temperatures during operation.
- To attain the above objects, in the present invention, the inside diameter of the curved surfaces of the side plates is made larger than the outside diameter of the bearings, to prevent the interference of the respective components during assembling, and to let said curved surfaces contact said bearings at one point of each of said curved surfaces, for controlling the radial positions of the side plates and the seal block.

- Detailed description of the invewntion:
- In Fig. 1 a
gear pump 10 according to the present invention has a housing 11 consisting of acasing 12, acover 13 and amounting flange 14. - Said
casing 12 is cylindrical, and is closed by thecover 13 on one side and by themounting flange 14 on the ather side. Thecover 13 and themounting flange 14 are connected with both the ends of thecasing 12 respectively throughseal members fitting joints bolts 17. In this joining, dowel pins as used in the ordinary gear pump are not required. - The
cover 13 and themounting flange 14 are made of aluminium alloy and thecasing 12 is made of steel. - The cover and the mounting flange are formed by die casting to enhance the dimensional accuracy, and to be suitable for die casting, aluminium alloy is used as the material. The use of aluminium alloy is intended also to reduce the weight.
- Steel is selected as the material of the casing to secure high strength.
- The
casing 12 contains a pair ofgears gears shafts 22 & 23, and 24 & 25 respectively on both sides. Theseshafts 22 to 25 are supported rotatably bybearings 28 & 27 and 28 & 29 as bushings fitted in thecover 13 and themounting flange 14. Thesebearings 26 to 29 are protruded at their inner ends to some extent from thecover 13 and themounting flange 14, to formprotrusions - The
shaft 25 on one side of saidgear 21 is protruded outward through themounting flange 14, and can be connected with a power source outside thegear pump 10. - In the portion of the
mounting flange 14 through which theshaft 25 is passed through, anoil seal 30 is fitted, to seal the clearance between theshaft 25 and themounting flange 14. - And as can be seen from Fig. 3 on the delivery side of the
gear pump 10, aseal block 31 is provided between the inside wall of thecasing 12 and the tooth tops of thegears - The outside curved surface of the
seal block 31 is formed to suit the inside wall surface of thecasing 12, and inwardly curved surfaces are formed inside to suit the outside contours of thegears - On the outside curved surface of the
seal block 31, there is ahigh pressure area 33 sectioned by aseal member 32, and thehigh pressure area 33 communicates to the delivery side of thegears pressure introducing hole 34 and an axialhigh prssure groove 35 formed in theseal block 31. - The other portions of the circumferential surfaces of the
gears seal block 31 have a space against the inside wall of thecasing 12, being open to the suction side of thegears - Said
seal block 31 is almost equal to the overall width of the chamber in thecasing 12 containing thegears seal block 31 is limited in its axial movement by the inside wall surfaces of thecover 13 and themounting flange 14, but is arranged to be able to move radeally to some extent in the range between the inside wall surface of thecasing 12 and the tooth tops of thegears - The
gears casing 12. Thus, clearances are formed between the side surfaces of the gears and thecover 13 and themounting flange 14, by narrowing the width of thegears side plates side plate 38 is positioned between thecover 13 and the side surfaces of thegears side plate 37 is positioned between themounting flange 14 and the side surfaces of thegears - Since the
side plates side plates 36 only will be described below. - The
side plate 36, as can be seen from Fig. 3, consists of a central portion 36a and branchingportions 36b and 36c. The central portion 38a is positioned between saidprotrusions bearings protrusions curved surfaces 36d and 36e formed by the inward curves of the central portion 38a and the branchingportions 36b and 36c is made a little larger thah the outside diameter of theprotrusions bearings curved surfaces 38d and 36e contact theprotrusions - Said points P and Q can be selected freely as far as they contact the circumferences of the
bearings bearings -
- The reason will be described later.
- The outwardly curved surfaces of said branching
portions 36b, 36c, 37b and 37c of the side plates are the same in form as the outside contours of thegears seal block 31. - In this case, the outwardly curved surfaces of the
side plates gears curved surfaces 38d, 36e, 37d and 37e of theside plates protrusions 26a to 29a of thebearings 26 to 29. - Since both the sides of the
gears 20 and.21 are sealed by theside plates pressure areas seal members cover 13 and themounting flange 14 respectively adjacent to theside plates - Thus, if the
gear pump 10 is operated, the pressure medium is sucked toward the suction side of the chamber in thecasing 12 through anaxial passage 43 from aninlet port 42 provided at-one side of the cover 13 (see Fig.1), and is carried toward the delivery side by thegears - The pressure medium carried as mentioned above is fed from the
high pressure groove 35 formed in theseal block 31 through an axial passage 44 formed in thecover 13 and anoutlet port 45 opening toward the other side of the cover 13(see Fig. 1), to an actuator not illustrated. - The high pressure generated in the delivery side of the
gears high pressure groove 35 of theseal block 31 onto thepressure areas side plates - This loads the side plates at the rear at-high pressure, causing them to adhere to both the sides of the
gears - At the same time, said high pressure acts also on the
pressure area 33 at the rear of theseal block 31 through the highpressure introducing hole 34, and theseal block 31, being loaded with the high pressure on the rear side, is pressed against the tooth tops of thegears - Thus, the
seal block 31 is shaved off on the inwardly curved surfaces by the tooth tops of thegears gears seal block 31, for good sealing of the tooth tops of thegears - The depth of bite by the tooth tops of the
gears seal block 31 is as far as the inwardly curved surfaces of theseal block 31 are supported in contact with the outwardly curved surfaces of theside plates - The above state is secured during the initial adaptation operation of the
gear pump 10. Therefore, in the ordinary state of operation of thegear pump 10, theseal block 31 is always supported through theside plates protrusions 26a to 29a of thebearings 26 to 29. - Therefore, if the
side plates seal block 31 cannot be positioned, and furthermore, the tooth tops of thegears - For this reason, the
side plates protrusions 26a to 29a of the bearings. - However, as mentioned above, if the
curved surfaces 36d, 36e, 37d and 37e of the side plates are designed, to let their inside diameter coincide with the outside diameter of saidprotrusions 26a to 29a, a slight dimensional error in saidcurved surfaces 36d, 36e, 37d and 37e causes the gears, etc. to interfere with each other, not allowing them to be assembled. - The-refore, to overcome the above disadvantage, in this example, the inside diameter of the
curved surfaces 36d, 36e, 37d and 37e of the seal blocks is made beforehand larger than the outside diameter of the protrusions of thebearings 26 to 29, and one point is selected at the position where each side plate does not play, for pressure contact with said protrusions only at the pressure contact point. - If the curved surfaces of the side plates are formed in this way, the severe dimensional control of the one each pressure contact point only can eliminate the mutual interference among the respective components even if there are some dimensional errors in the other portions.
- In this case, said pressure contact points of the curved surfaces 36d and 38e, for example, are most desirable to be so selected that the distance S between the pressure contact point P and Q satisfies the relation of ℓ2 < S <ℓ1 with the distance ℓ1 between the axial centers 0 1 and 0 2 of the
shafts bearings - If the basic dimensional relation is kept, the tangential lines passing through the pressure contact points P and Q form a wedge, as shown in Fig. 4 .
- If the
gear pump 10 composed as mentioned above is used, for example, at low temperatures, thecover 13 and the mountingflange 14 contract, and therefore the clearance ℓ2 between the bearings supported by them becomes shorter than that at room temperature. However, since the gears and side plates made of steel are smaller in the coefficient of contraction than the cover and the mounting flange made of aluminium alloy, the correlation between the gears and the side plates on one hand and the cover and the mounting flange on the other hand becomes irregular. - Thus, if the clearance ℓ2 becomes short, the pressure contact points P and Q move along said tangential lines, causing the side plate to be pressed out of the position between the
shafts - If the side plate is pressed out as mentioned above, the sealing clearance between the
seal block 31 and the tooth tops of thegears - On oily pressure medium becomes higher in viscosity at low temperatures as mentioned above. Therefore, even if the sealing clearance becomes large to some extent, the leak through the clearance does not increase.
- Furthermore, if the
gear pump 10 is operated with the pressure medium at a high viscosity as mentioned above, bubbles are generated in the spaces of thegears - However, since the side plates move to make the sealing clearance between the seal block and the tooth tops of the gears large as mentioned above, said gear tracks do not become deep even if the load to the seal block becomes large.
- On the other hand, at high temperatures, since said clearance J2.2 becomes wide, the side plate is pressed into the position between the
shafts - If the side plate is pressed into the position between the
shafts seal block 31, too, moves accordingly, to make said sealing clearance narrow. - However at high temperatures, since the viscosity of said oily pressure medium drops, the narrow sealing clearance reduces the leak, providing a good condition on the contrary.
- Inanotherexample shown in Fig. 5 , the inside diameter of the
curved surfaces side plate 50 is made larger than the outside diameter of the protrusions of thebearings 28 to 29, and saidcurved surfaces - Furthermore, on the outwardly curved surfaces of the
side plate 50 in both the branchingportions 50b and 50c, a sufficientlylarge constriction 50f is formed, to correspond to saidhigh pressure groove 35. - The formation of said
constriction 50f decreases the rigidity of the branchingportions 50b and 50c at the portion corresponding to the constriction. - Therefore, if the
gear pump 10 is operated as mentioned above, a high pressure acts on saidconstriction 50f, to bend theside plate 50, allowing the pressure contact points P and Q to be obtained as in said example. - If the pressure contact points P and Q are obtained like this, the tangential lines passing through the points P and Q are as shown in Fig. 4 , giving quite the same result as obtained in said example.
- In the example shown in Fig. 5 , since the
curved surfaces side plate 50 are arranged not to contact the bearings at all during assembling, the dimensional control is not required to be so severe as that for the example shown in Fig. 3.
