Definitions
- Hydraulic device including a face plate
- the invention is related to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such devices are known as a pump or hydraulic motor in which rotation of the face plate is used to adjust the swept volume, or as a hydraulic transformer wherein rotation of the face plate is used for adjusting the hydraulic transformer.
- the disadvantage of the known devices is that inter alia upon application in the hydraulic transformer it is necessary to rotate the face plate about a wide angle, which causes problems in respect of the connection of the face plate ports to the pipe ports in the housing. Furthermore, high friction occurs upon rotating the face plate such that driving of the face plate must be sufficiently powerful and which makes accurate and/or quickly adjusting difficult.
- An embodiment of the hydraulic device is according to claim 2. As a consequence, the relative movement between the pistons and cylinders and the face plate remains unchanged upon adjusting the face plate.
- An embodiment of the hydraulic device is according to claim 3.
- the face plate can be adjusted in a simple manner wherein the face plate port only has a small displacement with respect to the ports in the housing.

- An embodiment of the hydraulic device is according to claim 5. As a consequence, the angle of stroke can be limited in a simple manner.
- An embodiment of the hydraulic device is according to claim 6.
- rotation of the face plate about the face plate centre line is limited in a simple manner.
- An embodiment of the hydraulic device is according to claim 7.
- a force which has risen between the spherical surface of the face plate and the concave surface of the housing and which is directed perpendicular to the face plate centre line is compensated and reduces friction in the ball bearing.

- Fig. 3 shows a manner of adjusting a hydraulic device according to the invention.
- Fig. 4 shows a first embodiment of the manner of adjustment as shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of the manner of adjustment as shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of the face plate of Fig. 5.
- Fig. 7 shows schematically the forces on the face plate of Fig. 5.

- Figs. 1 and 2 are parts that are mounted in a housing (not shown) of a hydraulic transformer.
- a hydraulic transformer is described, for example, in the publications of the patent applications WO 9731185 and WO 9940318, which content is assumed to be known.
- Rotor bearings 1 are mounted in a known manner.
- a rotor 14 including rotor holes 15 is mounted on the rotor shaft 2.
- Bar-shaped parts are mounted in the rotor holes 15 and form pistons 12 at both sides of the rotor 14.
- the pistons 12 are provided with piston rings 10, wherein the outer surface of the piston rings 10 have a spherical shape and the centre of these spheres of all pistons lie within one plane at a side of the rotor 14.
- the left side and the right side of the rotor 14 are symmetrical with respect to the centre of the rotor 14.
- Each side of the rotor 14 cooperates with a drum plate 7 including drum bushes 11 which rotate about a drum plate centre line mi and drum plate centre line m 2 , wherein the rotor centre line 1 and drum plate centre line mi, and rotor centre line 1 and drum plate centre line ni2, respectively, intersect each other by an angle of stroke a in a point of intersection which lies in the plane extending perpendicular to the rotor centre line 1 and in which the centre points of the spherical outer surfaces of the piston rings 10 of the pistons 12 are located at that side.
- the angle of stroke a is about 8°.
- a centring surface 22 about which the drum plate 7 can swivel is formed on the rotor shaft 2.
- the centring surface 22 is spherical and the intersection M forms the centre of the sphere.
- the rotation of the drum plate 7 is coupled to a rotation of the rotor shaft 2 by means of a key 16 which engages in a key path.
- the key 16 has a radius of curvature in the plane of the surface of the shaft which is smaller than the radius of the centring surface 22, such that the key 16 does not clamp in the key path upon rotation of the drum plate 7. Possibly more than one key 16 is present. It is also possible that the key 16 is mounted in the rotor shaft 2 and the key path is provided in the drum plate 7.
- the drum plate 7 is provided with drum bushes 11 at the side which is directed to the pistons 12, which drum bushes 11 are clamped against the drum plate 7 by a bush holder 18.
- the drum bush 11 has a cylindrical wall 23 at its inner side.
- Each piston 12 is enveloped by a drum bush 11 wherein the piston ring 10 can move along the cylindrical wall 23 in a sealing manner.
- the piston 12 and the cylindrical bush 11 thus form a chamber 9 of which the volume changes upon rotation of the rotor shaft 2.
- oil flows into and out of the chamber 9 via a drum bush opening 24, a drum port 6, wherein each chamber 9 has its own drum bush opening 24 and drum port 6.
- the drum plate 7 including the drum ports 6 rotate along a face plate 4 which is at a stand still in the housing and the oil flows through the drum port 6 via one of the kidney-shaped face plate ports 3 to a pipe connection (not shown) in the housing.
- the face plate 4 has three kidney-shaped face plate ports 3 which together form a ring which is discontinuous between the different face plate ports 3.
- each face plate 4 may have two or four face plate ports 3.
- Each face plate port 3 has its own pipe connection wherein corresponding face plate ports 3 at both sides of the rotor 14 are connected to the same pipe connection, for example due to the fact that they are coupled to each other in the housing.
- the holder 18 is provided with openings which allow this sliding and serves to limit the gap between the drum plate 7 and drum bush 11 such that a pressure can arise in the chamber 9 upon starting.
- the face plate port 3 is a kidney-shaped opening in the face plate 4 which is supported by a surface of the housing. This surface does not extend perpendicular to the rotor centre line 1 but is angled to that rotor centre line and hence defines the direction of the drum plate centre line n ⁇ i or rt ⁇ 2 and also the rotational position where the volume in the chamber 9 is minimal or maximal.
- the face plate 4 is rotatably mounted in the housing and rotatable about the drum plate centre line mi or m 2 .
- the face plate 4 is provided with a tooth profile 5 on a part of its circumference which tooth profile meshes with a gear wheel which is driven by a driving means.
- the volume of the upper chamber 9 is the smallest and the volume of the lower chamber 9 is the largest.
- the upper chamber 9 can be designated as the top dead centre BDP.
- each face plate port 3 communicates with a port in the housing which communicates with a pipe connection and upon rotating the face plate 4 about a too large angle a face plate port 3 would possibly communicate with a different pipe connection. As a consequence, not all of the setting possibilities of the hydraulic transformer are applied .
- Fig. 3 shows schematically a different method for changing the settings of the hydraulic transformer wherein a face plate 25 which is similar to the face plate 4 as described hereinbefore, is not rotated only in its own plane about the drum plate centre line mi, m 2 .
- the rotor centre line 1 intersects the drum plate centre line mi in M.
- the face plate 25 has a centre line which coincides with the drum plate centre line mi.
- the face plate 25 comprises two and in case of a hydraulic transformer three face plate openings and one thereof has a central face plate opening 26 and an axis of symmetry s, the face plate openings 26 are similar to the face plate ports 3 as described hereinbefore.
- the drum plate centre line mi and the axis of symmetry s intersect in a centre C.
- the rotor centre line 1 and the drum plate centre line mi lie in a plane that intersects the face plate 25 in a plane V.
- the plane V is angled with respect to the axis of symmetry s about a setting angle ⁇ .
- the setting angle ⁇ of the device according to Fig. 1 and 2 is adjusted by rotating the face plate 4 or the corresponding face plate 25 about an axis of rotation Revi, which coincides with the drum plate centre line mi.
- the face plate 25 is adjusted by rotating the face plate 25 about a second axis of rotation Rev 2 and a third axis of rotation Rev 3 , which axes of rotation extend perpendicular to the first axis of rotation Revi.
- the face plate 25 is not rotated about the axis of rotation Revi, this rotation can be obstructed.
- the centre C of the face plate 25 follows a path p to a position C and the new position of the drum plate centre line mi is drawn as mi'.
- the plane through the drum plate centre line mi' and the rotor shaft 1 intersects the adjusted face plate 25' in a plane V.
- the plane V is angled with respect to the axis of symmetry s by a setting angle ⁇ ' .
- the setting angle ⁇ has been changed due to the fact that the plane in which the rotor shaft 1 and the drum plate centre line mi lie, rotates with respect to the face plate 25 whereas the face plate 25 itself does not rotate about the drum centre line mi.
- the first axis of rotation Revi, the second axis of rotation Rev 2 and the third axis of rotation Rev 3 intersect each other in the intersection M, in an alternative embodiment this may be at a different location such as the centre C. However, this will influence the relative movement of the pistons 12 with respect to the drum bush 11.
- the rotation about the second axis of rotation Rev 2 and the third axis of rotation Rev3 are limited and coupled such that the angle of stroke a has a constant or adjustable value.
- Fig. 3 illustrates on the face plate 25 that upon adjustment, the top dead centre BDP in the plane V in the new position BDP 1 in the plane V has a different angle with respect to the face plate opening 26.
- the top dead centre BDP remains at the same position with respect to the housing and the face plate 4 is turned with respect to the housing about the drum plate centre line mi.
- the face plate 25 is turned to a new tilting position such that the BDP displaces with respect to the housing.
- the adjustment according to Fig. 3 does not mean that only the face plate 25 is tilted, but that the drum plate 7 moves together with it. In fact the adjustment according to Fig.
- Fig. 4 shows the hydraulic device as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 including a face plate 29 which is adjusted in the manner as described in Fig. 3.
- the face plate 29 has an opening through which the rotor shaft extends and the rotor bearing 1 is located at the side of the face plate 29 which is facing away from the drum plate 6.

- a flexible connection is present between the housing and face plate 29, e.g. a flexible line or a tube.
- the cardan ring 27 is formed with cylindrical bearings, but other bearings are also possible, for example because of the occurrence of a small rotation cross spring pivots or knife bearings can be applied.
- an edge for limiting the tilting angle of the face plate 25 is present in the housing. This edge may form a flat plane and in that case the angle of stroke a is constant at each setting angle ⁇ . In an alternative embodiment the edge is corrugated such that the angle of stroke a is dependent on the setting angle ⁇ .
- Fig. 5 shows a hydraulic device as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 including a face plate 34 which is adjusted in the manner as described in Fig. 3.
- the face plate 29 has an opening through which the rotor shaft 2 extends and the rotor bearing 1 is located at the side of the face plate 29 which is facing away from the drum plate 6.
- the device through which the face plate 34 can be adjusted is not shown.
- the side of the face plate 34 which faces away from the pistons 12 is provided with a spherical surface having a radius, which spherical surface forms a ball pivot 32 including a concave surface having the same radius in the housing (not shown) .
- the centre of the concave surface in the housing is located on the rotor axis 1 in the intersection M and the centre of the ball is located on the drum plate centre line mi.
- the intersection M forms the centre of the ball pivot 32 and the face plate 34 could rotate about this point in three directions.
- the face plate 34 is provided with teeth 35 which mesh with teeth 37 in the housing (see Fig. 6) .
- the teeth 37 are in the plane that extends perpendicular to the axis of rotation 1 through the centre point M. In that case the teeth 35 and 37 have the same number of teeth.
- a pin in the ball pivot on the spherical surface of the face plate 34 a pin is provided and in the opposite concave surface of the housing a slit is provided in a plane through the rotor centre line 1.
- the pin limits one of the three possible rotations of the face plate 34 whereas the pin in the split can move and a rotation about the axis of the pin in the slit is possible such that the face plate 34 can rotate about two remaining axes of rotation.
- the face plate ports 3 communicate with openings in the housing via connection openings 33.
- Fig. 6 shows the face plate 34 in a perspective view wherein the face plate 34 is supported by an edge of the housing including teeth 37 which mesh with teeth 35 of the face plate 34.
- the face plate 34 is drawn in three positions, the first position is indicated by continuous lines and shows the position in which the face plate 34 is supported by the housing 36 in location A. In location A the teeth 35 and 37 contact each other and the top dead centre BDP is located at location A.
- the second position is indicated by dash-dotted lines wherein the face plate 34 is supported by the housing 36 in location B.
- the top dead centre BDP is then located at location B.
- the third position is indicated by broken lines wherein the face plate 34 is supported by the housing 36 in location C.
- connection openings 33 have only small displacements with respect to the housing, such that the ports in the housing (not shown) can be small whereas the setting angle ⁇ is large.
- a circular edge of the face plate 34 is rolled on a circular edge of the housing and this edge limits the angle of stroke a .
- the oil pressure is the same for each face plate port 3, and this oil pressure will be different for the different face plate ports 3.
- the oil pressure exerts a port force 38 on the face plate 34 which is directed to the intersection M, see Fig. 7.
- the oil pressure exerts a port force 41 in the direction of the drum plate centre line mi.
- the port force 38 and the port force 41 are proportional to the hydraulic pressure and proportional to the surface of the corresponding port.
- the value of these port forces 38, 41 are selected by dimensioning the surface of the connection port 33 carefully such that a port force component 39 of the port force 38 in the direction of the drum plate centre line mi is the same as and directed opposite to the port force 41. This results in that the port force 38 results in a port force component 40 which is directed perpendicular to the direction of the drum plate centre line mi and this could lead to high forces in the ball pivot 32 which could lead to a too high friction during adjusting.
- a piston 44 is mounted to the face plate 44 having a centre line in the direction of the port force component 40. The piston 44 can move within a bush 43 which is supported by a surface 45 in the housing.

- cylinder 4, 5 may comprise two hydraulic cylinders which are located diagonally with respect to the rotor shaft 1, which cylinders are controllable like adjustment devices or actuators, and which exert a force on the face plate 24, 34 in a direction of the rotor shaft 1 or parallel thereto. As a consequence the face plate can be adjusted to the desired tilting position.
- Figs. 9-11 show an illustration of a second embodiment of a face plate which is supported by a ball pivot, wherein hydraulic support cylinders are present for compensating hydrostatic pressure between the face plate 50 and the drum plate 7 at the face plate port 3 and between the face plate 50 and a cover 51 of the housing at the connection opening 33.
- a rotor shaft 46A, 46B includes two rotor flanges in which pistons 12 (not shown) having centre lines 49 are mounted.
- Bearings 47 are mounted between the rotor shaft 46A, 46B which is made of two parts, such that a face plate 50 is not provided as a ring but without central opening. This means that the face plate 50 is more rigid and deforms less under load.
- the bearings 47 are mounted in a central housing 48 and the covers 51 are mounted at the ends of the central housing 48.
- the inner side of the cover 51 forms a concave surface 53 along which the face plate 50 can move in the way as described in relation to Fig. 5.
- a drum plate and the pistons and drum bushes (not shown) are mounted in the way as described hereinbefore and/or mounted in a known manner.

- the support cylinder force 42 which exerts a force on the piston 58 is aligned with and directed opposite to the port force 40, which is the component of the port force 38 which extends perpendicular to the centre line mi, m 2 of the face plate 50.
- the piston 58 is sealed in the bush 56 by a spherical surface and the bush 56 is supported in a sealing manner by a cylindrical support surface 52, and the bush 56 has an opening 55 through which the contact between the bush 56 is lubricated by oil and the bush 56 can slide along the support surface 52.
- the support surface 52 is part of the support plate 54 which is disposed in the cover 51.
- the support surface 52 is cylindrical and has a radius 60 having a centre line which intersects the rotor centre line 1 in l c .
- a portion of the bush 56 which is supported by the support surface 52 has a radius which corresponds with the radius 60.
- the face plate port 3 communicates with the connection opening 33 via a channel 63.
- the channel 63 communicates with a chamber 57 via a channel 61 and a channel 59 through the piston 58, such that the port force 41, the port force 38 and the support cylinder force 42, which are generated by the same hydraulic pressure, are directed through a common intersection and hence neutralize each other.
- Fig. 10 shows a portion of the cover 51 including the concave inner surface 53 in which the spherical side of the face plate 50 is supported.
- the inner surface 53 is provided with openings (not shown) which are located at the connection opening 33 in order to release oil through channels in the cover 51 to the line connection.
- Three pistons 58 are mounted to the face plate 50, which is shown in a position above its mounted position for clarity reasons, which pistons are placed diametrically opposite to a face plate port 3.
- the pistons 58 including the bushes 56 which are mounted thereon extend through the openings in the concave inner surface 53 and the support plates 54 which are shown separately are mounted to the cover 51 such that each of the bushes 56 is supported by a cylindrical support surface 52.
- each of the three face plate ports 3 are provided with three channels 63.
- the three channels 63 communicate with the connection port 33 located at the opposite side of the face plate 50 through inner channels in the face plate 50.
- the channels 63 are separated bij ridges 64 which connect the outer ring of the face plate 50 with the centre portion such that deformation under influence of hydraulic pressure in the channels 63 is prevented or limited.
- the ridges 64 extend up to a small distance below the flat upper surface of the face plate 50 such that anywhere in the face plate port 3 the same pressure may be present.
- the ridges 64 are provided such that the largest dimension of the channels 63 is smaller than three times the width of the face plate port 3.
- the sealing surface of the face plate 50 against the drum plate 4 and the sealing ridges 62 keep their shape better and leakage is prevented or limited. Additionally at the spherical side of the face plate 50 the ridges 64 extend up to a small distance below the spherical surface of the sealing ridges 62 such that in the connection port 33 from all channels 63 oil can flow to the opening in the concave inner surface 62 without obstruction.
- a pin which is mounted to the face plate 50 and moves within a slit, wherein the face plate 50 can rotate about the rotation shaft of the pin, can serve to limit the rotation of the face plate 50 in one axis of rotation.
- a and setting angle ⁇ can be set by means of two actuators. It is possible for example to guide one of the pistons 58 in a slit 65 in the concave inner surface 53 of the face plate 50. Possibly the slit 65 can be oval and in that case the rotation is limited by guiding two pistons 58 within a slit 65. If the slit 65 lies in a plane in which the rotor shaft 1 lies, the face plate 50 will not rotate about the rotor shaft 1.
- the embodiments as described hereinbefore describe the adjustment of the face plate of a hydraulic transformer.
- the face plate of a pump of a hydraulic motor can be adjusted in a comparable manner, such that this obtains an adjustable swept volume in a simple way.
- the invention is described by means of a hydraulic device wherein the pistons move within bushes which are supported by a drum plate and wherein the drum plate rotates along the face plate. It may be clear that the invention can also be applied in hydraulic devices which do not have separate bushes but wherein a rotor in which pistons move rotates against the face plate or wherein the chambers that have varying volumes are formed with other components in another way.
