Definitions
- the invention is based on a hydraulic radial piston machine which has the features from the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such a hydraulic radial piston machine is known from DE 196 18 793 A1.
- the rotor is located within the cam ring and has a plurality of piston receptacles which are radially aligned with respect to its axis of rotation and which are open to the outside of the cam ring.
- each piston holder there is a piston, from which a cylindrical roller is carried in a bearing holder, which lies against a stroke curve of the stroke ring.
- a working space is connected radially on the inside of the piston to a pressure medium source if there is a roller on an outwardly falling flank of the cam ring, while the working space is relieved of pressure if the roller is on an inwardly rising flank of the Hubrings is located.
- the height of the maximum torque that can be generated depends on the pressure with which the pistons can be acted upon to a maximum and on the size of the piston surface at which the pressure acts.
- the aim is therefore to have a large cross section of the pistons.
- a piston can only have a large cross-section at a relatively large distance from the axis of rotation of the rotor, since otherwise there would be too little rotor material between the individual piston holders to reliably prevent the rotor from tearing. Assuming the piston cross-section remains the same over the entire length of the piston, the guide length for the piston would be very small.
- Each piston receptacle has a first partial receptacle, which is located radially on the outside in the rotor, and a second partial receptacle, which is closer to the axis of rotation than the first partial receptacle and whose cross section is smaller than the cross section of the first partial receptacle.
- Each piston has a first piston section which is slidably guided in the first partial receptacle and a second piston section which has a smaller cross section than the first piston section and is slidably guided in the second partial receptacle.
- the free spaces located radially further inward than the first piston section, namely an annular space which is delimited perpendicularly to the piston axis by the wall of the first partial holder and by the second piston section and axially by the steps on the piston and in the piston holder, and a fully cylindrical one Space behind the second piston section are fluidly connected to one another, so that the effective pressure area is given by the large cross section of the first piston section.
- a piston is guided in the first piston section and at the end of the second piston section, so that the guide length is long.
- the fluidic connection between the annular space and the space behind the second piston section can be achieved through bores within the second piston section, through a longitudinal groove in the second partial receptacle or, as is described in EP 0 607 069 B1 and in DE 196 18 793 A1 is shown to be produced by flattenings on the second piston section parallel to the piston axis or also conically to it.
- the first partial receptacle of a piston receptacle and the first piston section have a guide and sealing cross section that deviates from the circular shape.
- This cross section has two longitudinal sides running parallel to the axis of rotation of the roller and two semicircles which connect the longitudinal sides to one another.
- Piston receptacles and pistons with such a cross section elongated in the direction of the axes of rotation of the rotor and rollers make it possible to obtain a large piston area, without increasing the diameter of the rotor and thus the entire radial piston machine.
- an increase in the axial direction is necessary if the piston area is to be larger than in the case of a circular piston cross section.
- the semicircular sections in cross section also mean that the rollers are shorter in the direction of their axes of rotation than the piston seats and the pistons, and it is necessary to secure them in their axial position by rings rotating around the rotor.
- the invention has for its object to develop a hydraulic radial piston machine having the features from the preamble of claim 1 so that a larger stroke volume per piston is possible for a given size and thus a greater torque can be generated and that the rollers on are easily secured in their position in the axial direction.
- the desired aim can be achieved in a generic hydraulic radial piston machine according to the invention in that, as stated in the characterizing part of patent claim 1, the piston receptacles have two wall sections oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rollers and that the distance between the two end faces a roll is only slightly smaller than the distance between the two flat wall sections of the piston holders.
- the two flat wall sections are used to axially secure the rollers.
- the rollers are longer than with circular piston receptacles and circular pistons with the same extent in the axial direction and in the peripheral direction.
- Corresponding Their bearing surface in the piston and their contact line or contact surface on the cam ring can be made larger. As a result, the components are less loaded with the same necessary torque or are able to transmit a higher torque without damage.
- the two flat wall sections of a piston receptacle are preferably narrower than the diameter of a roller.
- the rollers are offset at both ends to form a collar with a smaller diameter, the diameter of which is at most as large as the width of a flat wall of a piston receptacle.
- This design makes it possible to produce the contour of the piston receptacles with a milling tool and with a grinding tool, the diameter of which is greater than half the difference between the peripheral extension of a piston receptacle and the diameter of a roller.
- a milling tool is more stable and works faster than a tool with a smaller diameter.
- a relatively large radius following the flat wall sections limits the notch load on the rotor.
- the width of a flat wall section of a piston holder is only about sixty percent of the diameter of a roll.
- each flat wall section of a piston receptacle is followed by a curved wall section having a constant radius, which preferably extends at least approximately over ninety degrees.
- the radius of this wall section corresponds to the radius of the tools with which the contour of the piston receptacles is produced, and can therefore be machined quickly.
- the radius of a curved wall section of the first partial holder adjoining a flat wall section and the radius of the second, circular partial holder of a piston holder are the same, so that both partial holders can be finished with the same milling and grinding tools.
- FIG. 1 shows the exemplary embodiment in a longitudinal section, the longitudinal section lying in a first plane in the upper half and in a second plane in the lower half and the visible radial piston being in its outer dead center,
- FIG. 2 shows a section of Figure 1 in the region of the visible radial piston, the However, it is now at its inner dead center, FIG. 3 shows a view from the outside radially of a piston receptacle and a radial piston located therein, and FIG. 4 shows a side view of the radial piston from FIG. 3 in the direction of the axis of rotation of the roller.
- the radial piston machine shown in whole or in part in FIGS. 1 and 2 is mainly used as a radial piston engine and has a housing 12 which is composed essentially of two housing pots 13 and 14 and a cam ring 15 arranged between them. The three parts mentioned are held together by screws 10 coaxially and in a fluid-tight manner.
- the inner surface of the cam ring 15 is designed as a cam 16 with a plurality of inwardly projecting cams 17.
- the rotor 18 has a central passage 20 provided with an internal toothing, in which an end section 21 of an output shaft 22, which is provided with an external toothing corresponding to the internal toothing of the passage 20, is received in an axially displaceable manner.
- the output shaft 22 is rotatably supported relative to the housing 12 via a bearing arrangement 30.
- the bearing arrangement comprises two tapered roller bearings 31 and 32, which are housed in the housing part 13 and can transmit high axial and radial forces.
- the second end section 33 of the output shaft 22 protrudes from the housing part 13 and, outside of this, has a shaft flange 34 for attachment to a drive element (not shown) of a device to be driven, for example to a wheel of a loader.
- a plurality of piston receptacles 35 which are radially aligned with respect to the axis of rotation 19 and are open toward the cam ring 15, are formed in the rotor 18.
- Two partial receptacles can be distinguished on a piston receptacle 35.
- a first partial receptacle 36 is located on the outside of the rotor 18 and has a large one which differs from the circular shape and is one
- the central axis 37 has a double symmetrical cross section, as can be seen in more detail in FIG. 3. Twice symmetrical means that the cross section only comes back to cover itself after a rotation of 180 degrees around the central axis.
- the second partial receptacle 38 which adjoins the partial receptacle 36 towards the inside, is circular-cylindrical in cross section, the diameter being considerably smaller than the extent of the first partial receptacle 36 in the direction of the axis of rotation 19 and in the peripheral direction of the rotor 18
- the axis of the partial receptacle 38 coincides with the central axis 37, which can be referred to as the axis of the entire piston receptacle 35.
- the two partial receptacles 36 and 38 merge into one another in an annular shoulder 39 which is perpendicular to the central axis 37.
- the cross section of the partial receptacle 36 remains the same from the shoulder 39 to the outside of the rotor 18.
- the first partial receptacle 36 of a piston receptacle 35 has a certain first maximum dimension in the direction of the axis of rotation 19 and a somewhat smaller second maximum dimension perpendicular to a plane 41 spanned by the axis of rotation 19 and the central axis 37.
- wall sections 43 and 44 lying opposite one another in the direction of the axis of rotation 19, i.e. parallel to a plane 42 perpendicular to the axis of rotation 19, each of which is symmetrical on both sides of the plane 41 and perpendicular to this plane 41 a little less than half as wide as is the maximum extension of the piston seat 35 in this direction.
- each flat wall section 43, 44 is adjoined by a wall section 45 which has a constant curvature, that is to say a constant radius, and extends over an angle of approximately 75 to 80 degrees.
- the radius is slightly larger than a quarter of the distance between the two flat wall sections 43 and 44 from one another.
- the transition between one end of a wall section 43, 44 and a wall section 45 is continuous.
- the transition between the second end of a wall section 45 and an adjoining wall section 46 extending between the two second ends of two wall sections 45 is also continuous, the two wall sections 46 being seen from the central axis 37. hen, are slightly bent outwards and have the greatest distance from each other in the plane 42.
- the first partial receptacle 36 of a piston receptacle 35 has a very rounded cross section that is similar to a rectangle.
- the second partial receptacle 38 of a piston receptacle 35 has a circular cross section, that is to say it has the shape of a circular cylinder.
- the radius of this circular cylinder is equal to the radius of the wall sections 45 of the first partial holder 36, so that both partial holders can be finished with the same tools having the radius of the second partial holder.
- each piston receptacle 35 there is a piston 50, by means of which, in accordance with the two partial receptacles 36 and 38 of a piston receptacle 35, two piston sections 51 and 52 can be seen one behind the other in the direction of the central axis 37 and can be distinguished from one another with regard to their circumferential outer surface.
- the first piston section 51 is slidably guided in the first partial receptacle 36 of a piston receptacle 35 and, taking into account the play provided for its mobility, has the same cross section as the first partial receptacle 36 of the piston receptacle 35.
- a piston runs in the vicinity of the lower end near the lower end radially open groove 53 around which there is a metallic sealing ring 54 which slides along the wall of the partial receptacle 36.
- the second piston section 52 is designed as a double and has only a guiding function. For its guiding function, it has a diameter at least over a certain distance from its lower end outside of the two flats 55, which corresponds to the diameter of the second partial receptacle 38 of a piston receptacle 35.
- the two flats 55 are perpendicular to the axis of rotation 19 of the rotor.
- the piston section 52 In the direction of the piston axis, which is equal to the central axis 37 of a piston receptacle, the piston section 52 is so long that it is still immersed in the partial receptacle 38 in each stroke position of the piston 50, so that the piston is always also in the part except in the partial receptacle 36 - Mount 38 is guided.
- the flats 55 are the free space that the piston leaves in the partial receptacle 38 and the free space that the piston 50 has. left below the sealing ring 54 in the partial receptacle 36 between it and the shoulder 39, fluidly connected to one another.
- the piston section 51 is designed in the manner of a half-pipe, through which a continuous bearing receptacle 56 is formed with a bearing shell 57 for a roller 58 which bears against the cam ring 15.
- the axes 59 of the rollers run parallel to the axis of rotation 19 of the rotor 18.
- a roller 58 is slightly shorter in the direction of its axis than the distance between the two flat wall sections 44 of a piston receptacle 35 and is opposite each of these wall sections with a flat end face 60.
- the rollers 58 are secured in their axial position in each stroke position of the pistons 50.
- the rollers are very long and therefore have a large contact line or contact surface on the lifting curve 16.
- the two flat wall sections 44 are narrower in a direction perpendicular to the plane 41 than the diameter of a roller 58. Therefore, each end face 60 is on a collar 61 formed, in which a roller 58 is offset at its end to a smaller diameter, corresponding approximately to the width of the wall sections 44.
- the diameter of the collars 61 is so large that the end faces 60 and the flat wall sections 44 of the piston receptacles also lie opposite one another in the outermost stroke position of a piston 50 and secure the rollers 58 in the axial direction.
- Each piston receptacle 35 is assigned an access bore 65 running in the rotor 18 parallel to its axis of rotation 19, starting from one end face of the rotor and opening into the partial receptacle 38, via which hydraulic fluid is supplied and discharged during operation of the radial piston motor. This is done via a commutator 66, which is arranged in the housing part 14 in a fluid-tight and rotationally fixed manner. be- see him and the housing part 14, two separate annular spaces 67 and 68 are formed, which are connected to an outwardly leading inflow channel 69 and outflow channel 70.
- axial channels 71 From the end face of the commutator 66 facing the rotor 18 a number of axial channels 71, which open into the annular space 67 and which correspond to the number of cams 17 of the lifting curve, extend uniformly. Between each two axial channels 71 also run from said end face of the commutator and at the same distance from the axis of rotation 19 as the axial channels 71, shorter axial channels 72, which are connected to the annular space 68. In operation, when a roller 58 runs onto a cam 17 of the stroke curve, hydraulic fluid is displaced without pressure from the working space of the corresponding piston receptacle 35 via the bore 65 of the rotor 18 and via one of the axial channels 71.
