Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hydrostatic axial piston machine with at least one in a receiving bore of a cylinder barrel longitudinally displaceable piston, wherein the piston is articulated by means of a ball and a dome-shaped recess formed ball joint on a support element, wherein between the piston and the support member, a hydrostatic discharge is formed ,
  • Known hydrostatic axial piston machines use ball joint connections between a piston and a support element and thus between the power-converting components.
  • an axial piston machine designed as a swash plate machine such ball joint connections between the piston and a sliding block are used as the supporting element.
  • an axial piston machine designed as a bent-axis machine such ball joint connections between the piston and a drive flange are used as the support element.
  • the piston is arranged longitudinally displaceable in a receiving bore of the cylinder drum of the axial piston, wherein the piston and the receiving bore form a pressurized displacement.
  • the impressed by the pressure in the displacement chamber on the piston piston forces lead to high pressures and loads in the ball joint.
  • the piston is provided with a connecting bore which connects the displacement of the piston with the spherical gap between the ball and the dome-shaped recess of the ball joint, so that the pressure of the displacement chamber is passed into the spherical gap of the ball joint. Therefore, in the spherical gap of the ball joint, a hydrostatic relief pressure field builds up with a hydrostatic unloading force that compensates for the piston forces.
  • the ball and the dome-shaped recess are each made idealgeometrisch, i. the ball and the dome-shaped recess are each formed with a spherical surface, carries the ball only in the pole or on the line of contact between the bore tip of the connecting hole and the dome-shaped recess, which is formed due to manufacturing in the surface of the ball.
  • the spherical gap in the ball joint continuously increases, so that no appreciable hydrostatic relief pressure field for the hydrostatic relief of the piston forces in the ball joint connection can be constructed and high leakage losses occur at the spherical gap of the ball joint connection.
  • an ideal geometrically produced ball and dome-shaped recess thus results in a low hydrostatic discharge of the piston forces, which leads to high pressure at the bearing line of contact between the ball and the dome-shaped recess, resulting in high friction in the ball joint, high wear of the ball joint connection and high Losses of the axial piston machine result.
  • the contact line with which the ball is supported in the dome-shaped recess and with which carries the ball to move towards the equator of the dome-shaped recess and to adapt the shape of the dome-shaped recess accordingly by the AusNOungsradien the dome-shaped recess are laterally offset from the longitudinal axis of the dome-shaped recess.
  • the production and production of such a dome-shaped recess can be done on a lathe, when the laterally displaced AusNOungsradius is rotated relative to the longitudinal axis and thus the central axis of the dome-shaped recess.
  • the piston with its longitudinal axis to the longitudinal axis of the recess tends - which occurs during operation of the axial piston engine principle migrates from the pressure in the displacement piston normal force with increasing inclination angle from the direction of the hydrostatic discharge force of the relief pressure field, whereby the percentage relief of the piston normal forces reduces the hydrostatic discharge force.
  • a dome-shaped recess thus has the inclination and thus the misalignment of the piston to the longitudinal axis of the dome-shaped recess an influence on the degree of relief of the piston normal force by the hydrostatic discharge.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an axial piston machine of the type mentioned in which the ball joint connection can be made with little manufacturing effort and in which the inclination and thus the misalignment of the piston to the longitudinal axis of the dome-shaped recess has no effect on the degree of relief the piston has normal force by the hydrostatic discharge.
  • the dome-shaped recess is formed as a spherical recess with a AusNOungsradius and the ball is formed only in a contact region of the ball joint, which is disposed between the equator and the pole of the spherical recess, as a spherical cap with a spherical radius and the surface of the ball in the direction of the pole and the equator of the spherical recess is withdrawn relative to the spherical cap.
  • the dome-shaped recess is carried out idealgeometrisch and has a spherical, spherical surface with a AusNFungsradius on.
  • Adapted shape of the ball is thus by an adapted form the ball, the contact line with which the ball is supported in the dome-shaped recess and with which carries the ball, moved in the direction of the equator of the dome-shaped recess.
  • the ball is for this purpose according to the invention only in the contact region of the ball joint, which is arranged between the equator and the pole of the spherical recess formed as a spherical cap with a spherical radius and the surface of the ball in the direction of the pole and the equator of the spherical recess relative to the spherical cap retracted is.
  • the ball is thus carried out only idealgeometrisch in the contact area and has only in the contact area on a spherical, spherical surface with the ball radius.
  • the ball is thus designed only in the contact area as a spherical layer with a spherical surface.
  • the ball is retracted relative to the ideal geometric ball shape.
  • the ball joint connection according to the invention results in a lower manufacturing costs, since the dome-shaped recess, which is idealgeometrisch designed as a spherical surface, easy to manufacture and manufacture, and the displacement of the contact line can be produced by the special shape of the ball.
  • the special shape of the ball can in this case be produced and manufactured in a simple manner, for example by a turning operation, whereby the ball-and-socket joint according to the invention has a simple production with a low manufacturing outlay of the ball and socket joint.
  • the hydrostatic relief pressure field is also symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the piston. If the piston tilts with its longitudinal axis to the longitudinal axis of the recess - which basically occurs in axial piston machine during operation of the axial piston - is achieved that the inclination and thus the inclination of the piston to the longitudinal axis of the dome-shaped recess has no effect on the degree of relief of the piston normal force by the has hydrostatic discharge.
  • the ball is provided in the direction of the pole and the equator of the spherical recess with reduced ball radii and tangential transitions.
  • the shape of the ball in the region of the pole and of the equator can be easily withdrawn relative to the ideal geometrical spherical shape which is formed in the contact region.
