Definitions
- the present invention relates to displacements pumps and especially a control ring for a displacement pump.
- the port plate is provided with a first and a second opening, which is adapted to correspond to a first and a second pressure chamber of a displacement pump. By turning the port plate, the displacement of the displacement pump can be controlled.
- a problem with the port plate according to the prior art is that the port plate becomes a large diameter due to its pressure balance areas outside the control openings. Another problem is to seal the port plate sufficiently to avoid leakage in the control interface.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an inventive control for displacement pumps, with which previously mentioned problems are avoided. This object is achieved by a control ring according as defined by claim 1.
- the inventive control ring is provided for controlling the flow of a pressure medium in a displacement pump.
- the control ring is centred about a rotational axis about which it extends.
- the control ring is further provided with a first and a second axial surface, an inner and an outer diameter and thereby an inner and outer radial surface.
- the first axial surface is provided with an interface section having at least a first and a second opening.
- the first and second openings are separated by a first and a second intermediate section, also called land.
- one of the openings is a high pressure opening.
- the high pressure opening can be any of the two openings, and can also change depending on if the displacement pump is driven as a motor or as a pump.
- the first and second opening is mouthing to a corresponding mouthing area provided at the outer radial surface.
- An advantaged of the radial placement of the mouthing of the openings is that it permits pressure equilibrium around the axial surfaces of the control ring.
- first and the second openings are diverted about 90 degrees to a radial surface, an easy connection of input and output conduits are facilitated.
- control ring is provided with at least a first balance area at said second radial surface.
- the balance area is supposed to balance the pressure forces between the first and the second axial surfaces, whereby the balance area is arranged opposite the opening it balances.
- the balance area is interconnected with at one of said first and second opening via pressure conduits, wherein the opening the balance area is connected to is the high pressure opening. Due to the connection between the opening and the balance area, the axial surface of the opening and the balance area will be subjected to the same pressure.
- control ring is provided with at least a first and a second balance area at its second axial surface.
- the first and the second balance area are connected to one of the first and second opening of the first axial surface area correspondently, wherein the pressure upon the balance areas corresponds to the pressure upon the surfaces in the openings.
- An axial surface area of the at least first and second balance area corresponds at least to an exposed axial area of said first and second opening, such that the axial force upon the first and second balance area corresponds to the axial force upon the exposed radial areas of the first and second opening.
- the balance areas facilitate an easy control of the control ring, due to the pressure equilibrium that is achieved between the exposed radial areas and the balance area.
- a control ring having only one balance area interconnected with one of the first and the second opening, are preferably used just in one direction, in which the opening connected with the balance area is the high pressure opening.
- a control ring having two balance areas each interconnected with one of the first and second opening correspondently, will have pressure equilibrium when operated either of the rotational directions.
- the area of the pressure areas is slightly larger than the corresponding axial area of the opening it is interconnected with.
- the first axial surface area will be pressed against a corresponding area of the pump (i.e. the rear plate or the rotor set or piston housing) it is arranged against, wherein the control ring can be sealed more efficiently.
- control ring not covered by the claims can be designed such that the first opening is mouthing to the inner radial surface and the second opening is mouthing to the outer radial surface.
- An easy connection of the first and second opening can thereby be facilitated.
- the connection conduits can easily be separated from each other and there are no risk for leakage between the input and the output connection.
- a configuration of the control ring such that the first opening is mouthing to the inner radial surface and the second opening is mouthing to the outer radial surface achieves an axial compact control ring, because both the openings can mouth at the same axial distances from the first axial surface.
- first and the second opening are mouthing to the inner radial surface, wherein the first and the second opening are mouthing to the inner radial surface at different axial distances from the first axial surface.
- the first and second opening are mouthing to said outer radial surface, wherein said first and second opening are mouthing to said outer radial surface at different axial distances from said first axial surface.
- seal rings are arranged such upon said outer radial surface, that the seal rings defines two separate axial areas in which said first and second opening mouth respectively.
- the seal rings are annular and coaxial with the control ring, whereby a seal ring can seal off one radial area from each other.
- the first and/or the second opening comprises a plurality of channels.
- first and second openings are circular arc shaped, in order to adapted to a rotating displacement pump.
- balance valves are arranged in said first and second intermediate section, said balance valves connects said first and second intermediate section with a mouthing area of said first and/or second opening respectively, wherein said balance valves are adapted to open if a pressure at said first or second intermediate area raises above a predetermined threshold value.
- the inventive control ring is adapted to be used in a displacement pump comprising a pumping unit arranged within a housing, with fix pressure sections and therewith connected supply chambers, wherein the control ring) is provided between said pressure sections and said supply chambers, wherein an interface section is arranged directed towards said pressure chamber such that said control ring can be turned in order to control the flow of pressure medium.
