Definitions
- This invention relates to a manifolded, multiple hydraulic pump structure which may be used wherever two or more rotary pumps may be driven by a single drive shaft. It is expressly disclosed herein as applied to a heavy vehicle having a hydraulic transmission and a hydraulic torque converter; but is not limited to such application.
- Typical of such hydraulic systems are those in heavy vehicles, such as crawler tractors, wheel loaders, and large capacity dump trucks. Such vehicles commonly have a hydraulic transmission and a hydraulic torque converter.
- the hydraulic system for such a vehicle requires a charging pump for the hydraulic transmission, a fluid conduit from the pump to the transmission, a charging pump for the torque converter, a fluid conduit from the torque converter charging pump to the torque converter, scavenging pumps, scavenging conduits from the transmission and the torque converter to the scavenging pumps, fluid delivery lines to both charging pumps, and return lines from the scavenging pumps to the sump.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
- an improved pump structure has a pump casing assembly consisting of a plurality of rotary pump casing elements disposed in face abutting relationship, with sealing means between the casing elements and means detachably securing the casing elements in assembled, face abutting relationship.

- the drive shaft segment 62 has an end portion 62b which extends through the drive shaft opening 56 in the drive end plate 23 which is adapted for operative connection to driving means through a drive pulley assembly, indicated generally at 64, by means of which a drive pulley 65 is mounted upon the drive shaft segment 62 through a splined connection 62c.
- the drive pulley assembly forms no part of the novel subject matter of the present invention, so it is not described in detail.
- idler shaft openings 66, 67 and 68 which are provided with respective sleeve bearings 66a-68a; and alongside the drive shaft openings 59, 60 and 61 in the subassembly 22 are idler shaft openings 69, 70 and 71 which are provided, respectively, with sleeve bearings 69a-71a.
- a charging pump idler shaft 72 is journalled in the sleeve bearings 66a-68a, while an idler shaft 73 is journalled in the sleeve bearings 69a-71a.
- meshing gear pump members 74 and 75 which form a rotary, gear type torque converter charging pump
- intermeshing gear pump members 76 and 77 which provide a rotary transmission charging pump
- intermeshing gear pump members 78 and 79 which provide a first rotary scavenging pump
- intermeshing gear pump members 80 and 81 in the scavenging pump cavity 55a provide a second rotary scavenging pump.
- the first rotary scavenging pump 78-79 scavenges fluid from a torque converter C
- the second rotary scavenging pump 80-81 scavenges fluid from a transmission T.
- the present hydraulic pump structure 20 is manifolded to provide a charging fluid inlet passage 82 (Figs. 1, 5, 6 and 8); a torque converter charging delivery passage 83 (Figs. 3, 5, 6 and 7); a transmission charging fluid delivery passage 84 (Figs. 2, 7 and 8); a torque converter scavenging inlet passage 85 (Figs. 1, 2, 9 and 10); a transmission scavenging fluid inlet passage 86 (Figs. 2 and 9); and a scavenging fluid outlet passage 87 (Figs. 2 and 9).
- the wall is provided with holes which are seen in Figs. 2 and 3 to be in register with the ports for the passages 83, 84, 86 and 87, and said holes are identified in Fig. 3 by the respective numerals H4, H5, H6 and H7.
- annular seals 88 which are mounted in grooves in certain of the casing element faces in abutment with the adjacent casing element faces and with the wall H, seal the entire structure against leakage from the pump cavities.
- leakage from the charging delivery passages 83 and 84 is minimized or provided by means of annular seals 89 (see Figs. 6 and 8) at the abutting faces between the casing elements through which those passages pass.
- the improved pump structure 20 of the present invention can be used in any hydraulic system having two rotary pumps that can be driven off the same shaft.
- a particularly advantageous use is illustrated in Fig. 11, where the pump structure 20 is mounted on a housing wall H of a gear housing G that is in direct communication with the housing for the hydraulic transmission T of a heavy vehicle.
- This permits a transmission charging conduit 90 to conduct fluid from the transmission charging delivery passage 84 to the transmission through the gear housing and also permits a transmission scavenging conduit 91 to extend through the gear housing. This protects such conduits from damage that could result from their being mounted in exposed locations, and also causes any leakage from the conduits to remain inside the housing.
- the entrance to the charging fluid inlet passage 82 is very close to, and directly in line with the outlet from a screen F which is also mounted upon the wall H, so that a charging fluid conduit 92 may be straight and only a few inches long.
- the torque converter charging fluid conduit 93 must go outside the gear housing, its connection to the pump through the hole H4 is inside the housing, and thus more protected than would otherwise be the case.
- a portion of the gear housing G provides a sump S to receive scavenged fluid from the passage 87 through the conduit 94, for return to the pump through the screen F.
- 95 is a scavenging fluid conduit which connects the torque converter to the scavenging inlet passage 85 of the scavenging pump subassembly 22.
