Definitions
- the present invention relates to hydraulic systems and, more specifically, to a piston pump and to a piston pump motor assembly particularly suitable to be used in the driving of working units.

- the hydraulic pumps presently known can be divided or classified in five main types or groups, according to its operative principle, namely reciprocating pumps, gear pumps, blade pumps, piston pumps and centrifugal pumps.
- the reciprocating or alternating movement hydraulic pumps have a major disadvantage in that the same do not produce a continuous flow of hydraulic energy, which prevents their utilization in hydraulic systems where a continuous flow is needed.
- the gear type hydraulic pumps are capable of producing a continuous flow, with flow rates of approximately 280 1/min at pressures of 120 kg/cm2 ( ⁇ 120 bar).
- the main problem with this type of pump is their low efficiency, since a major part of the received power is used to move its gears and only a small portion of that power is used to generate energy.
- the blade type pumps while being capable of producing flow rates similar to those of the gear pumps with a better efficiency, present the problem of being of complex construction, with the blades being radially displaceable within a rotor which, in turn, is eccentrically mounted in a housing, turning these pumps fragile and, therefore, more susceptible of failure.

- These pumps can be of the axial type, where the pistons move parallel to the rotor shaft, or of the radial piston type, in which the pistons move inwardly and outwardly with regard to a piston eccentrically mounted within a housing, in an operation similar to those of the blade type pumps.
- the piston pumps are capable of providing flow rates up to 1200 1/min of pressures in the range of 700 kg/cm2 ( ⁇ 700 bar), without prejudice to the safety requirements.

- Hydraulic motors using hydraulic energy developed by the pumps are also widely known from the state of the art.
- the rotary hydraulic motors are rarely used mainly because they can be easily replaced by electric motors.
- the piston motors have an operating principle similar to those of the piston pumps, that is to say, the displacement of a piston causes the displacement of a given volume of hydraulic fluid.
- Both the pumps and the piston motors can be of the single action type, when the piston produces work only in a single direction of its stroke, or of the double action type, when the piston produces work in both directions of its stroke.

Description
- The present invention relates to hydraulic systems and, more specifically, to a piston pump and to a piston pump motor assembly particularly suitable to be used in the driving of working units.
- Several types and models of hydraulic pumps are widely known from the state of the art, which are used in any and all types of hydraulic systems.
- Generally speaking, the pumps can be defined as being one of the basic elements of the hydraulic systems, together with valves, motors, connections, tubings and others, and their main objective is to convert electrical, mechanical or even hydraulic energy received from a motor into dynamic hydraulic energy.
- The hydraulic pumps presently known can be divided or classified in five main types or groups, according to its operative principle, namely reciprocating pumps, gear pumps, blade pumps, piston pumps and centrifugal pumps.
- The reciprocating or alternating movement hydraulic pumps have a major disadvantage in that the same do not produce a continuous flow of hydraulic energy, which prevents their utilization in hydraulic systems where a continuous flow is needed.
- The gear type hydraulic pumps are capable of producing a continuous flow, with flow rates of approximately 280 1/min at pressures of 120 kg/cm² (∼120 bar). However, the main problem with this type of pump is their low efficiency, since a major part of the received power is used to move its gears and only a small portion of that power is used to generate energy.
- The blade type pumps, while being capable of producing flow rates similar to those of the gear pumps with a better efficiency, present the problem of being of complex construction, with the blades being radially displaceable within a rotor which, in turn, is eccentrically mounted in a housing, turning these pumps fragile and, therefore, more susceptible of failure.
- The piston type hydraulic pumps are, up to now, the most resistant and they present the best efficiency, when the relationship between the power supplied thereto and the amount of dynamic hydraulic energy produced is considered.
- These pumps can be of the axial type, where the pistons move parallel to the rotor shaft, or of the radial piston type, in which the pistons move inwardly and outwardly with regard to a piston eccentrically mounted within a housing, in an operation similar to those of the blade type pumps.
- Due to their rugged construction, the piston pumps are capable of providing flow rates up to 1200 1/min of pressures in the range of 700 kg/cm² (∼700 bar), without prejudice to the safety requirements.
- Finally, the centrifugal pumps are mainly used in hydraulic systems where great volumes of hydraulic fluid need to be displaced at medium or low pressures, due to its low resistance to backup pressures, which makes its control more difficult.
- Hydraulic motors using hydraulic energy developed by the pumps, both of the rotary and piston types, are also widely known from the state of the art.
- The rotary hydraulic motors are rarely used mainly because they can be easily replaced by electric motors. The piston motors, in turn, have an operating principle similar to those of the piston pumps, that is to say, the displacement of a piston causes the displacement of a given volume of hydraulic fluid.
- Both the pumps and the piston motors can be of the single action type, when the piston produces work only in a single direction of its stroke, or of the double action type, when the piston produces work in both directions of its stroke.
- The objective of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic pump and motor assembly, more particularly a piston pump and motor, connected in a closed hydraulic circuit, in which the power developed by the said pump unit is sufficient for driving the said motor, which generates an output power for driving an independent working unit.
- According to the present invention, this objective is achieved by the provision of a piston pump of the type comprising at least a double action piston, the pump having driving means for receiving an input power, a first pair of crank arms rotatively driven by the driving means, a second pair of crank arms coupled to a movable driven shaft, a pair of connecting rods coupling, in an intercrossed manner, the first and second pairs of crank arms and connecting means coupling the movable driven shaft to the piston, whereby upon each revolution of the driving means the piston carries out four strokes of hydraulic fluid volumetric displacement.
- Still in accordance with the present invention, this objective is achieved by the provision of a piston pump and motor assembly of the type comprising at least a double action piston, the assembly having a pump unit with driving means for receiving an input power, a first pair of crank arms rotatively driven by the driving means, a second pair of crank arms coupled to a movable driven shaft, a pair of connecting rods coupling in an intercrossed manner the crank arms of the first and second pairs of arms, connecting means coupling the movable driven shaft to the piston of said pump, whereby upon each revolution of the driving means, the pump piston carries out four strokes of hydraulic fluid volumetric displacement, means for directing the hydraulic fluid displaced by the pump piston for driving the driving means and a motor unit having cam means integral with the driving means and cam follower means coupled to the pistons of the motor.

- Figure 9 is a cross-section view of the pump unit shown in figure 8; and
- Figure 10 is a schematic view of the basic hydraulic circuit of the piston pump and motor assembly of the present invention.
- Making reference to the drawings, a piston pump and a piston pump and motor assembly which embody the present invention are illustrated in the attached drawings, which are intended to illustrate the presently preferred embodiments of the invention and are not intended to limit its scope.
- Figure 1 is a cross-section view of a piston pump and motor assembly which embodies the present invention comprising a box or housing 1 having a suitable shape, driven by a
pulley 2 fixed to a drivingshaft 3 by means of akey 4 or the like. - The driving
shaft 3 freely rotates within the box 1 supported onball bearings 5 and a retainer 6 is placed in a housing 7 of the box 1, adjacent to thepulley 2, so as to prevent any hydraulic fluid leakage therefrom. Additionally, the shaft is also provided with acounterbalance wheel 8 near to one of its ends. - The
counterbalance wheel 8 and twocams driving pistons driving shaft 3 by means of thekeys 4, as can be seen from the cross-section illustration showing details of its connecting portions to theshaft 3 and also from figures 2 and 3. - The rotational movement of the
cams pistons cam follower rollers 13 fixed to the lower ends of thepistons fixing elements 14, which legs are formed with transpassing rolls within which are received thecentral shafts 16 of theball bearings 17, around which therollers 13 freely rotate. - The
cams pistons - Referring now more particularly to figure 4, the hydraulic pump unit for fluids of the pump and motor assembly is shown driven by the
driving shaft 3 through agear 18 connected thereto by akey 4, which engages anothergear 19 fixed to a drivenshaft 20 having twocrank arms 21 connected thereto by means ofkeys 4. - The driven
shaft 20 freely rotates supported byball bearings 22 received insupport columns 23 and each one of thecrank arms 21 is provided with a ball bearing 24 in its distal end for rotational coupling with a pair of intercrossed connectingrods 25 which transmit the rotary movement of the drivenshaft 20 to an upper drivenshaft 26 movable by means of a similar assembly ofball bearings 27 provided in the distal ends of thecrank arms 28 secured to the movable drivenshaft 26 by means ofkeys 4. - The movable upper driven
shaft 26 freely rotates supported bybearings 29 secured to afixing element 30. An anti-backup mechanism 31 such as a sprocket is coupled to the movable upper drivenshaft 26, so as to prevent rotation thereof in a direction contrary to a desired one. - The inter-crossed disposition of the connecting
rods 25 causes each revolution of thedriving shaft 3, or of the lower drivenshaft 20, to be transformed into two vertical displacements of the movable drivenshaft 26, and accordingly, of theshaft 32 to which thefixing element 30 is secured and which has apiston 33 secured at its end, whereby thispiston 33 moves four times within thecylinder 34 upon each revolution of thedriving shaft 3, while in a normal crank arm system this piston would only move twice. - This allows the
piston 33 to carry out a hydraulic fluid volumetric displacement within thecylinder 34 allowing the piston pump and motor assembly to generate an output power for a separate operating unit. - Since this
piston 33 is of the double action type,unidirectional valves cylinder 34, connecting thefluid supply lines 39 and thefluid discharge line 40 thereto. - Referring again to figure 1, the piston pump and motor assembly has a rotary
directional valve 41, of high flow rate and speed, having abox 42 provided with inlet/outlet openings forhydraulic fluid 43 within which is a conversion anddistribution bushing 44 formed with fouropenings 45, which area corresponds to the area of each inlet/outlet opening 43, so as to prevent interruption of the hydraulic fluid flow due to clogging. - A
distribution rotor 46 is disposed within thebushing 44 so as to control the distribution of the hydraulic fluid in the system, which rotor is driven by means of agear 47 coupled thereto through afine adjust means 48, which will not be described herein in greater details since it is not part of the present invention. - Two
bearings 49 support thedistribution rotor 46 within thebushing 44, so that the rotor can freely rotate when driven by thegear 47 which, in turn, is directly driven by agear 50 secured to the drivingshaft 3 by means of akey 4. - In this manner, the rotary
directional valve 41 permits the circulation of the hydraulic fluid from apressure accumulator 51 to a pressurizedreservoir 52 in a closed hydraulic circuit as represented by figure 10. - Figures 5, 6 and 7 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the piston pump and motor assembly is shown having pairs of pistons.
- A
box 53, having a suitable shape receives adriving shaft 54 which freely rotates onbearings 55 secured to the box, with aretainer 56 being disposed in ahousing 57 of the box to prevent any hydraulic fluid leakage. Again, apulley 58 is secured by means of akey 59 to the end of theshaft 54, for transmitting/receiving a torque. - A
gear 60 and acounterbalance wheel 61 are fixed to theshaft 54 by means of akey 59, whichgear 60 engages asecond gear 62 connected to asecond shaft 63 parallel to thedriving shaft 54 by means of akey 59, which simultaneously fixes asecond counterbalance wheel 64. - The
second shaft 63 freely rotates within thebox 53 supported onbearings 65 and projects into the pump compartment of the assembly, for driving the pump mechanism as it will be described in greater details below. - Each one of the
shafts cam disc 66 attached thereto by means ofkeys 67. - As above mentioned, the
cams 66 have profiles defined according to the Archimedes spiral curve, so that the transformation of the rotational movement of the shafts in an alternate movement of the pistons results in a uniform and constant displacement for avoiding pressure peaks of the hydraulic fluid. - Two
cam follower rollers 68 interconnected by arocker arm 69 are coupled to afirst piston 70 by means of alink shaft 71 for the rocker arm, while theopposed piston 74 is also driven by twocam follower rollers 72 interconnected by arocker arm 73 secured to thepiston 74 by means of alink pin 75. - This constructive disposition of the present invention allows a perfect balance of all the force components, while still providing a greater volumetric displacement due to the utilization of pairs of pistons.
- Within the pump compartment, the
second shaft 63 has agear 76 attached thereto by means of akey 59, which cooperates with asecond gear 77 integral with anintermediate shaft 78 for transmitting a rotational movement to thegears 79 which cause the pumping system to rotate. - The
gears 79 are fixed toshafts 80, respectively, and each shaft has a first pair ofcrank arms 81 attached thereto by means ofkeys 59. Similar to the preceding embodiment, theshafts 81 rotate onbearings 82 disposed insupports 83. - The distal ends of the
crank arms 81 are connected to the distal ends of a second pair of crankarms 84 by means of intercrossed connectingrods 85, whereby theshafts 86, which freely rotate onbearings 87 having asprocket system 88 coupled to each one thereof, are vertically displaced upon rotational movement of theshafts 81. - The vertical displacement of the
shafts 86 causes a displacement of thepistons 89 coupled thereto by connectingmembers 90. Thus, thepistons 89 move four times upon each rotation of theshafts 81. - Again, in order that the pistons function as double action pistons,
admission 91 anddischarge 92 unidirectional valves are coupled to the ends of thecylinders 93 within which the pistons move. - Figures 8 and 9 illustrate a second embodiment of the composite pump unit disclosed in figure 7, particularly suitable for direct coupling to a motor assembly. Due to the similarity between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in figure 7, similar reference numbers were given to the same component parts.
-
Shaft 63 having agear 76 attached thereto by means of a key 59 within thehousing 94, supported bybearings 95 and aretainer 96, received in ahousing 97 of thebox 94, serve to prevent any hydraulic fluid leakage out of the box. -
Gear 76 directly engagesgear 79, without theintermediate gear 77 andrespective shaft 78, whereby the rotation of theshaft 63 is transmitted to theshafts 80 by thegears shafts 80 rotating in opposite directions. - As already explained with regard to figures 5, 6 and 7, the
shafts 80 rotate onbearings 82 incolumns 83, thus defining a synchronized stationary dual assembly by means of gears. - The crank
arms 81 fixed to each one of therespective shafts 80 have their distal ends connected to the distal ends of the similar crankarms 84 by means of the respective pairs of intercrossed connectingrods 85, whereby the rotational movement of thelower shafts 80 is transformed into a vertical displacement movement of theshafts 86 to which the crankarms 84 are attached. - These
shafts 86, in turn, rotate onbearings 87, with agear mechanism 88 being used for preventing its displacement in a direction contrary to the desired one, and its alternate movement is transmitted to thecylinders 89 by means of connectingmembers 90. - According to the present invention there are provided a piston pump and a piston pump and motor assembly which are capable of producing an output power for driving an independent separate operating unit.
