Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、各種の建設機械および車輌用油圧機器として用いられる多連形の歯車ポンプ/モータに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
歯車ポンプは、ハウジングに接した駆動歯車と従動歯車のかみ合いによって作動液(通常は油)を圧送するものである。また、歯車モータとして機能させる場合は、両歯車がハウジングの中で噛み合い、入口より圧入された圧油によって歯車にトルクを与え回転力を出力するものである。このポンプおよびモータを総称して歯車ポンプ/モータと呼称する。
歯車ポンプ/モータは、本体内に互いにかみ合う一対の駆動歯車と従動歯車を配設し、両歯車の一回転動作により噛合部に臨む一対の出入口から歯車の歯溝に閉じ込めた流体を、他方の出入口まで移送するように構成したものである。ポンプとして利用する場合には、外部動力をこの構成に作用させて流体の移送を行い、モータとして利用する場合には、この構成により流体の流動のエネルギーを歯車軸の回転動力に変換する。
【0003】
歯車ポンプ/モータは、駆動軸を同期して回転するよう軸心方向に接続して多連で使用される場合が多い。図2に2連の歯車ポンプ/モータの外観を示す。ポンプとして使用する場合、左側に設けられたポンプ/モータ回転軸105を外部動力によって回転し、ボディ104bとフロントカバー104a内に設けられた第1ポンプ/モータ100aとリアカバー104c内に設けられた第2ポンプ/モータ100bを作動すると、吸入口/流入口106から油が吸入され、内部歯車によって吐出口107aおよび吐出口107bから油が吐出される。
【0004】
図3に、従来の2連式の歯車ポンプ/モータの断面を示す。第1ポンプ/モータ100aは、駆動軸受102aと従動軸受102bとを、フロントカバー104aおよびボディ104bに設け、第2ポンプ/モータ100bは、駆動軸受102cと従動軸受102dとを、ボディ104bとリアカバー104cに設け、かつ、ボディ104bにより第1ポンプ/モータ100aの駆動軸111aと第2ポンプ/モータ100bの駆動軸111cとが連結部131で連結され一体となって回転するように接続され、駆動軸111aに取り付けられた駆動歯車108aと、従動軸111bに取り付けられた従動歯車108b、および、駆動軸111cに取り付けられた駆動歯車108cと従動軸111dに取り付けられた従動歯車108dが噛み合い回転し、2連で作動し、歯車ポンプ/モータとして使用される。
そして、駆動軸受102a、102cおよび従動軸受102b、102dには、摩擦を少なくするよう、ブッシュ103a、103c、103b、103dがそれぞれはめ込まれ、軸負荷を支持している。
【0005】
しかし、上記の2連式の歯車ポンプ/モータにおいては、駆動軸111a、111cおよび従動軸111b、111dの軸方向の長寸化が顕著で大型化するため、搭載する装置のコンパクト化に影響し、また、部品点数も増加し、コストアップになるという問題があり、図4に示す歯車ポンプ/モータが開発された。
【0006】
図4において、第1ポンプ/モータ20aと第2ポンプ/モータ20bはほぼ同じ形状をしており、第1ポンプ/モータ20aの方が軸方向に大きく設計され、互いに噛み合う一対の駆動歯車21aと従動歯車21bとからなる。駆動歯車21aの駆動軸23aは従動歯車21bの従動軸23bと同一半径で、片側の軸端部をフロントカバー24aを貫通して外部に延長させ、もう片側の軸端部に、リアカバー24cの方向に雄スプライン部が形成された突出部23cを有する。
また、従動歯車21bの従動軸23bは、片側の軸端部がフロントカバー24a内に留められ、もう片側の軸端部に円柱状の突出部23dを有する。第2ポンプ/モータ20bはリアカバー24c内に配設され、互いに噛み合う一対の駆動歯車21cと従動歯車21dからなり、駆動歯車21cには、突出部23cに形成された雄スプライン部の連結部25aがはめ込まれる雌スプライン部が設けられ、従動歯車21dには、突出部23dが摺動可能に挿入される連結部25bが設けられている。
【0007】
このような構成で、連結部25aの雄スプライン部は駆動歯車21cの雌スプライン部に嵌合する。このような連結部25aによって、駆動軸23aと駆動歯車21cとは一体回転可能に結合され、また、従動歯車21cと噛み合う従動歯車21dは、従動軸23bの回転により突出部23dと同調して回転する(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
そして、駆動軸受22aと従動軸受22bとを、フロントカバー24aに設け、駆動軸受22cと従動軸受22dとを、ボディ24bに設け、それぞれの軸受には、摩擦を少なくするために、ブッシュ26a、26c、26b、26dがそれぞれはめ込まれ、軸負荷を支持している。
【0008】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−193671号公報 (第4頁、第1図)
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の歯車ポンプ/モータは以上のように構成されているが、図3に示す機器では、第1ポンプ/モータ100aの駆動軸111a、111cがそれぞれ2個の駆動軸受102a(ブッシュ103a付き)、駆動軸受102c(ブッシュ103c付き)に支持される構造に設計され、大型化しているので、機器の小型化と部品点数減少によるコスト低減のために、図4に示す機器が開発された。
【0010】
この機器では、第2ポンプ/モータ20bの駆動歯車21cが、スプライン結合による連結部25aで、第1ポンプ/モータ20aの駆動軸23aから伸長された突出部23cに挿入され、第1ポンプ/モータ20a側の駆動軸受22cで片持ち式となる。
そのため、第2ポンプ/モータ20bの突出部23cの軸にかかる荷重を、第1ポンプ/モータ20aの駆動軸受22c(ブッシュ26c付き)が請け負う構造になっている。第2ポンプ/モータ20b、第1ポンプ/モータ20aに圧力がかかった時に、他方のポンプが軸のたわみによる影響をうけ、流量低下をおこす可能性がある。
【0011】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、駆動軸を同期して多連の歯車ポンプ/モータを安定して回転し、小型で低コストで製作できる歯車ポンプ/モータを提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータは、ハウジング内に互いにかみ合う一対の駆動歯車と従動歯車を備えたポンプ/モータを軸心方向に複数個連接させ、隣接する双方のポンプ/モータの駆動軸と従動軸を連結した歯車ポンプ/モータにおいて、駆動軸を隣接するポンプ/モータの駆動軸内に挿入連結するとともに、この連結した駆動軸と従動軸をハウジングのフロントカバーと本体ボディ及びリアカバー軸受にて支持させるものである。
【0013】
本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータは上記のように構成されており、ハウジング内に互いに噛み合う一対の駆動歯車と従動歯車を備え、ポンプ/モータを軸心方向に複数個連接させるとき、駆動軸同士が同期回転するように連結部を介して、駆動軸および従動軸を隣接方向に延在させ、この駆動軸および従動軸にポンプ/モータの駆動歯車および従動歯車を支持させ、延在した駆動軸および従動軸を隣接するハウジング側に設けられた軸受で支持する。
【0014】
2連の歯車ポンプ/モータの場合、第1ポンプ/モータと第2ポンプモータの中間のハウジング側に設けられた軸受と、第1ポンプ/モータ側の他端のハウジング側に設けられた軸受と、第2ポンプ/モータ側の他端のハウジング側に設けられた軸受との3点で支持され、各負荷が均等に軸受にかかり安定して回転する。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータの一実施例を、図1を参照しながら説明する。図1は本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータの断面を示す図である。本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータは、フロントカバー4a、ボディ4b、リアカバー4cからなる外装のハウジングと、そのハウジング内で第1駆動軸受2a、第2駆動軸受2cと第1従動軸受2b、第2従動軸受2dとに支持され、互いに噛合する一対の駆動歯車1aと従動歯車1bとを備えた第1ポンプ/モータ10aと、第1ポンプ/モータ10aの駆動軸3aに連結され、第2駆動軸受2c、第3駆動軸受2eと第2従動軸受2d、第3従動軸受2fとに支持され、互いに噛合する一対の駆動歯車1cと従動歯車1dとを備えた第2ポンプ/モータ10bと、各軸受にはめ込まれたブッシュ6a、6b、6c、6d、6e、6fと、各部シール材とから構成される。
【0016】
本歯車ポンプ/モータと従来のポンプ/モータと異なるところは、従来のものは、図3に示すように、第1ポンプ/モータ100aの回転部が、両側の2個の駆動軸受102a、及び、2個の従動軸受102bで支持され、同様に、第2ポンプ/モータ100bの回転部が、両側の2個の駆動軸受102c、及び、2個の従動軸受102dで支持されるので、軸受部の部品点数が多く、軸方向に大きくなり、また、図4に示すように、第1ポンプ/モータ20aの回転部が、両側の2個の駆動軸受22a、22cで支持され、第2ポンプ/モータ20bの回転部が片持ち式の駆動軸受22cで支持されており、回転軸のたわみ等が生じる。
これに対し、本歯車ポンプ/モータは、第1ポンプ/モータ10aの回転部が、両側の2個の第1駆動軸受2aと第2駆動軸受2c、及び、2個の第1従動軸受2bと第2従動軸受2dで支持され、同様に、第2ポンプ/モータ10bの回転部が、両側の2個の第2駆動軸受2cと第3駆動軸受2e、及び、2個の第2従動軸受2dと第3従動軸受2fで支持されており、第2駆動軸受2c及び第2従動軸受2dが、第1ポンプ/モータ10aと第2ポンプ/モータ10bの両方の負荷を支持する構造であり、部品点数も少なく、構造も簡単になり、ケーシング側に設けられた軸受との3点で支持され、両モータ/ポンプの負荷が各軸受に均等にかかり、安定して回転することができる構造である。
【0017】
次に各構成部について説明する。外装のハウジングは、フロントカバー4a、ボディ4b、リアカバー4cで構成される。
フロントカバー4aは、鋳物(アルミダイキャストなど)を機械で精密加工したブロックからなり、駆動軸3aを回転支持する第1駆動軸受2a、及び従動軸3bを回転支持する第1従動軸受2bが設けられ、歯車ポンプ/モータをポンプとして使用する場合、外部動力によって駆動軸3aを回転させるための、図2に示すポンプ/モータ回転軸105が設けられ、また、これはモータとして使用する場合、出力回転軸として用いられる。そして、図2に示す油の吸入口/流入口106が設けられている。
ボディ4bは、鋳物を機械で精密加工したブロックからなり、駆動軸3aを回転支持する第2駆動軸受2c、及び従動軸3bを回転支持する第2従動軸受2dが設けられ、駆動歯車1a及び従動歯車1bが外接するハウジング面が内部に精密加工され、両歯車によって押し出される油を吐出する図2に示す吐出口107aが設けられている。そして、内部に第1ポンプ/モータ10aが組み立てられる。
リアカバー4cは、鋳物を機械で精密加工したブロックからなり、駆動軸3cを回転支持する第3駆動軸受2e、及び従動軸3dを回転支持する第3従動軸受2fが設けられ、駆動歯車1c及び従動歯車1dが外接するハウジング面が内部に精密加工され、両歯車によって押し出される油を吐出する図2に示す吐出口107bが設けられている。そして、内部に第2ポンプ/モータ10bが組み立てられる。
【0018】
第1ポンプ/モータ10aは、互いに噛合する一対の駆動歯車1aと従動歯車1bとを備えた駆動軸3aと従動軸3bが、それぞれ第1駆動軸受2a、第2駆動軸受2cと第1従動軸受2b、第2従動軸受2dにブッシュ6a、6b、6c、6dがはめ込まれて回転支持される。そのときフロントカバー4aとボディ4b間、及び、駆動歯車1a、従動歯車1bとその側面間を気密に構成するためにシール材が用いられる。
第2ポンプ/モータ10bは、互いに噛合する一対の駆動歯車1cと従動歯車1dとを備えた駆動軸3cと従動軸3dが、それぞれ第3駆動軸受2eと第3従動軸受2fにブッシュ6e、6fがはめ込まれて回転支持される。駆動軸3cは、駆動軸3aと連結部5aによって連結される。そして、リアカバー4cとボディ4b間、及び、駆動歯車1c、従動歯車1dとその側面間を気密に構成するためにシール材が用いられる。
【0019】
第1ポンプ/モータ10aの駆動軸3a及び従動軸3bと、第2ポンプ/モータ10bの駆動軸3c及び従動軸3dとの連結方法は次のように行われる。
駆動軸3cは、駆動軸3aの軸端部に、リアカバー4cの方向に雄スプライン部の突出部が形成され、駆動歯車1cには雌スプライン部が設けられ、スプライン結合されている。駆動軸3aと駆動軸3cは連結部5aを介して一体的になっている。
従動軸3dは、従動軸3bの軸端部に円柱状の従動軸3dが設けられ、従動歯車1dが従動軸3dに連結部5bによって摺動可能に挿入される。
このような構成で、連結部5aによって、駆動軸3aと駆動歯車1cとは一体回転可能に結合され、駆動歯車1cに従動歯車1dがかみ合う。
【0020】
ブッシュ6a、6b、6c、6d、6e、6fは、第1駆動軸受2a、第1従動軸受2b、第2駆動軸受2c、第2従動軸受2d、第3駆動軸受2e、第3従動軸受2fにはめ込まれ、駆動軸3a、従動軸3b、駆動軸3c、従動軸3dの回転時の摩擦を少なくし、磨耗を減少させる。
8は、内部の油が外部に漏れないように、組み立て部品間に挟み、機密にシールするためのパッキン材で、シールガスケットとして、特殊な耐熱性合成ゴムやニトルゴムが用いられる。フロントカバー4aとボディ4b間、リアカバー4cとボディ4b間を気密にするために用いられる。
【0021】
次に、本歯車ポンプ/モータの動作について説明する。外部動力によって図2に示すポンプ/モータ回転軸105の駆動軸3aを回転させる。駆動軸3aとそれに連結された駆動軸3cが、第1駆動軸受2a、第2駆動軸受2c、第3駆動軸受2eに支持されて回転する。そして駆動歯車1aと駆動歯車1cが回転し、それと噛み合った従動歯車1bと従動歯車1dが、従動軸3bと従動軸3dが、第1従動軸受2b、第2従動軸受2d、第3従動軸受2fに支持されて回転する。そして、駆動歯車1aと従動歯車1b、及び駆動歯車1cと従動歯車1dの噛み合いによって、両歯車の回転動作により噛合部に臨む一対の入口から歯車の歯溝に閉じ込められた油が、他方の出口まで移送され、図2に示す吐出口107a、107bから油が吐出される。このように駆動軸3a、3c、及び従動軸3b、3dは、それぞれ3箇所の軸受で支持されるので、負荷が均等に分散され、ブッシュ6a、6b、6c、6d、6e、6fでの摩擦が平均化し、安定した回転で油を吐出することができる。
【0022】
上記の実施例では、駆動軸3aから延在する部分に雄スプライン部を設け、駆動歯車1cに雌スプライン部を設けて、連結部5aでスプライン結合を用いているが、キーその他の連結方法でも可能である。
また、実施例では2連の歯車ポンプ/モータについて説明したが、2連に限らず、多連の歯車ポンプ/モータについても同様に適用することができる。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
本発明の歯車ポンプ/モータは上記のように構成されており、ポンプ/モータを軸心方向に複数個隣接させるとき、連結部を介して駆動軸および従動軸を連接方向に延在させ、その軸に駆動歯車および従動歯車を支持させ、延在した軸を隣接するハウジング側に設けられた軸受で支持させているので、各ポンプ/モータの歯車負荷が均等に軸受にかかり、駆動軸や従動軸のたわみ量が軽減し、隣接するポンプ/モータの負荷に影響することなく安定して作動し、吐出量の低下を招くような現象がなくなり、性能を向上させることができる。そして各軸受にはめ込まれたブッシュの磨耗も均等になり歯車ポンプ/モータの寿命を延ばすことができる。
また、簡単な構造であり、少ない部品で製作することができ、安価で小型の多連の歯車ポンプ/モータを提供することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a multiple gear pump / motor used as hydraulic equipment for various construction machines and vehicles.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The gear pump pumps hydraulic fluid (usually oil) by meshing a drive gear and a driven gear that are in contact with a housing. When functioning as a gear motor, both gears mesh with each other in the housing, and torque is given to the gears by pressurized oil press-fitted from the inlet to output a rotational force. The pump and the motor are collectively referred to as a gear pump / motor.
The gear pump / motor is provided with a pair of driving gears and driven gears meshing with each other in the main body, and the fluid confined in the tooth groove of the gears from the pair of entrances and exits facing the meshing portion by one rotation operation of both gears. It is configured to transfer to the entrance. When used as a pump, external power is applied to this configuration to transfer the fluid, and when used as a motor, this configuration converts the energy of the fluid flow into rotational power for the gear shaft.
[0003]
Gear pumps / motors are often used in multiple units connected in the axial direction so that the drive shafts rotate synchronously. FIG. 2 shows the appearance of a double gear pump / motor. When used as a pump, the pump / motor rotating shaft 105 provided on the left side is rotated by external power, and the first pump / motor 100a provided in the body 104b and the front cover 104a and the first pump / motor 100a provided in the rear cover 104c. When the two-pump / motor 100b is operated, oil is sucked from the suction port / inflow port 106, and oil is discharged from the discharge port 107a and the discharge port 107b by the internal gear.
[0004]
FIG. 3 shows a cross section of a conventional double gear pump / motor. The first pump / motor 100a has a drive bearing 102a and a driven bearing 102b provided on a front cover 104a and a body 104b, and the second pump / motor 100b has a drive bearing 102c and a driven bearing 102d, and a body 104b and a rear cover 104c. And a drive shaft 111a of the first pump / motor 100a and a drive shaft 111c of the second pump / motor 100b are connected by a connecting portion 131 by a body 104b and connected so as to rotate integrally with the drive shaft. The drive gear 108a attached to the drive shaft 111a, the driven gear 108b attached to the driven shaft 111b, and the drive gear 108c attached to the drive shaft 111c and the driven gear 108d attached to the driven shaft 111d mesh and rotate. Operates in series and is used as a gear pump / motor It is.
Bushes 103a, 103c, 103b, and 103d are fitted into the drive bearings 102a and 102c and the driven bearings 102b and 102d so as to reduce friction, and support an axial load.
[0005]
However, in the double gear pump / motor described above, the drive shafts 111a and 111c and the driven shafts 111b and 111d are remarkably elongated in the axial direction. Further, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the cost increases, and the gear pump / motor shown in FIG. 4 has been developed.
[0006]
In FIG. 4, the first pump / motor 20a and the second pump / motor 20b have substantially the same shape, the first pump / motor 20a is designed to be larger in the axial direction, and a pair of driving gears 21a meshing with each other. And a driven gear 21b. The drive shaft 23a of the drive gear 21a has the same radius as the driven shaft 23b of the driven gear 21b, and one shaft end extends through the front cover 24a to the outside, and the other shaft end has a direction toward the rear cover 24c. Has a protruding portion 23c formed with a male spline portion.
The driven shaft 23b of the driven gear 21b has one shaft end fixed to the inside of the front cover 24a, and has a cylindrical protrusion 23d at the other shaft end.
