A cylinder 25a is bored in the cylinder 2.
A piston 24 is slidably fitted into 5a. A shoe 23 is engaged with a spherical end 24a of the piston 24 that protrudes from a cylinder 25a. When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the cylinder block 25 also rotates together with the rotating shaft 21, and the piston 24 moves through the shoe 23. It reciprocates within the cylinder 25a while sliding on the swash plate 22. At this time, the pump motor 16 operates as a pump or a motor depending on the tilt angle of the swash plate 22.

Furthermore, when the pump/motor 16 operates as a motor, the high-pressure hydraulic oil stored in the accumulator 41 is supplied to the pump/motor 16 through a route opposite to that when the pump/motor 16 operates as a pump, and is supplied to the cylinder block 25 and The rotating shaft 21 is rotated. The tilt angle control mechanism for the swash plate 22, including the feedback mechanism, is conventionally known, so a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

7. The gear stage sensor 68, which is attached to the gear shift lever and detects the selected gear ratio of the transmission 3, and the main switch 78 of the deceleration energy recovery device are electrically connected, and each detection signal is
Supplied to ECU64. Further, a pressure sensor 69 is attached to the high pressure oil passage 40 between the shutoff valve 44 and the accumulator 41, and
A pressure detection signal P is supplied to the ECU 64. A level sensor 70 for detecting the oil level is attached to the drain tank 55, and the level sensor 70 detects whether the oil level in the drain tank 55 is above a predetermined value and supplies a level detection signal L to the ECU 64. Reference numeral 77 is a charge switch attached to the driver's seat of the vehicle, for example, and when the driver desires to accumulate pressure in the accumulator 41, the charge switch 77 is turned on to give a charge command signal to the ECU 64. Furthermore, a tilt angle neutral position sensor 71 detects whether or not the tilt angle control piston 32 is in a neutral position and supplies a tilt angle neutral position signal NP to the ECU 64, and the transmission 3

The engine 1 is equipped with a fuel injection pump 84 equipped with an electronic governor 83.
is electrically connected to an electronic governor control unit 86, and its operation is electronically controlled by the electronic governor control unit 86. Then, the electronic governor control unit 86 and the
They are electrically connected to the ECU64,
The ECU 64 supplies the electronic governor control unit 86 with an accelerator signal based on the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal detected by the accelerator sensor 65 (or a pseudo accelerator signal, which will be described later), and a charge request signal, which will be described later. For example, from ECU64,
An engine rotational speed signal Ne, which is the engine rotational speed detected from the rotational speed of the camshaft of the electronic governor 83, is supplied. Reference numeral 84 is a warning light, and when the oil pressure in the high pressure oil passage 40 is below a predetermined pressure (for example, 250 kgf/cm ² ) based on the pressure detection signal P input to the ECU 64, the ECU 64 lights up a warning light 87 to issue an alarm. emits. Further, reference numeral 88 is a brake light, and when the aforementioned brake sensor 66 detects a value in which the amount of depression of the brake pedal exceeds the amount of play (for example, 10% of the total amount of depression), the ECU 64 turns on the brake light 8.
Turn on 8. Next, the operation of the deceleration energy recovery device configured as described above will be explained. The ECU 64 controls the engine clutch 2, main and countershafts based on detection signals from the various sensors mentioned above.
A drive signal is supplied to each of the PTO gear synchronizers 9 and 11 and the electromagnetic clutch 14, and the electromagnetic valve 46 for pressurized air control, the electromagnetic valves A and B, and the electromagnetic switching valve 80
A drive signal is also supplied to each of the capacity control solenoid valves 30 to operate the deceleration energy recovery device as follows. First, the ECU 64 detects the on/off state of the main switch 78, and when the main switch 78 is in the on state, supplies a drive signal DI to the pressurized air control solenoid valve 46 to open the pipe 43a and release the high pressure accumulated in the air tank 45. After the air is regulated to a predetermined pressure by a pressure reducing valve 47, it is led to a pressurized oil tank 43. This makes it possible to pressurize the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 43 and prevent cavitation in the low-pressure oil passage 42. The oil tank can also be installed on the roof of a vehicle such as a bus and used as a head tank. The pressurized oil tank 43 can be installed at any position without the need to do so. Furthermore, when the deceleration energy recovery device is not operating (when the engine is stopped), the solenoid valve 46
is deenergized and switched to the normal position shown in FIG. The amount of oil that leaks and flows back into the drain tank 55 can be reduced or made zero, and the amount of oil that leaks back into the drain tank 55 can be reduced or eliminated.
capacity can be minimized. Note that the pressure reducing valve 47 disposed in the pipe line 43a is
The high pressure air from 5 is regulated to a predetermined pressure, and the air pressure in the pressurized oil tank 43 is kept constant. Next, the ECU 64 sets the electromagnetic valves A and B to the operating modes shown in Table 1 depending on the driving state of the vehicle.

[Table] When in operation stop mode, that is, pump motor 1
When valve 6 is not required to function as either a pump or a motor, ECU 64 de-energizes both solenoid valves A and B. At this time, the oil sucked up from the drain tank 55 by the pump 59 is returned to the drain tank 55 via the oil passage 54c, and no oil is pumped into the supply oil passage 54. or,
The oil in the supply oil passage 54 is returned to the drain tank 55 via the deenergized solenoid valves A and B oil passages 54d. In this way, unnecessary hydraulic pressure is prevented from being generated in the second pilot hydraulic pressure supply path 63 when the tilting angle of the swash plate 22 of the pump motor 16 is not controlled as will be described later. The oil replenishment mode shown in Table 1 is set when the oil level in the drain tank 55 is above a predetermined value by the level sensor 70, and at this time the ECU 64
turns on (energizes) both solenoid valves A and B. As a result, the pump 59 causes the supply oil passage 54 to
The hydraulic oil discharged into the high pressure oil passage 40 (or the low pressure circuit 42) is supplied through the opened solenoid valves A and B and the parallel circuit 56a (or 56b). When the hydraulic oil that was being supplied to the hydraulic circuit from the accumulator 41 to the pressurized oil tank 43 in FIG. Therefore, when the oil level in the drain tank 55 exceeds the predetermined value, the high pressure oil passage 40 (or the low pressure oil passage 42) is replenished with hydraulic oil by the amount that exceeds the predetermined value.
The amount of oil in the hydraulic circuits of the pressurized oil tanks 1 to 43 can always be kept at a constant value. Next, when the pump/motor 16 should operate as a pump or a motor, the ECU 64 controls solenoid valve A to be on (energized) and solenoid valve B to be off (deenergized) in the tilt angle control mode. . This results in
In the second pilot oil pressure supply path 63, the oil pressure in the supply oil path 54 downstream of the relief valve 57, that is, the pilot oil pressure regulated to a predetermined pressure, is generated. It is supplied to a tilting angle control piston 32 via a valve 30 and used to control the tilting angle of the pump motor 16. Since the pump 59 is constantly driven by the engine 1 or the electromagnetic motor, when the tilt angle control of the pump/motor 16 is to be started, the pilot oil pressure regulated to the required pressure is immediately applied to the tilt angle control piston 3.
2 can be supplied. Furthermore, unlike the model that uses a part of the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the high-pressure oil passage 40 as pilot oil, pilot oil pressure is generated by a separately provided pump 59, so loss of high-pressure hydraulic oil (accumulated pressure energy) can be suppressed. At the same time, there is no need to provide a high pressure switching valve for guiding the pilot oil pressure from the high pressure oil passage 40, which simplifies the configuration of the hydraulic circuit. When the vehicle is running normally, the engine clutch 2 is in contact, but the electromagnetic clutch 14, main and countershaft PTO gear synchronizers 9, 1
1 is a disconnection operation, and the rotation transmitted from the engine 1 to the countershaft 5 via the clutch 2 and the input shaft 19 of the transmission 3 is transmitted to the transmission gear 1.
8, 17, and is transmitted only to the wheels 12c, 12c via the main shaft 4 and propeller shaft 12a. When the vehicle decelerates by depressing the brake pedal during normal running, the ECU 64 executes pump tilt angle control. That is, the ECU 64 is the brake sensor 66
When it detects that the brake pedal has been depressed based on a signal from The gear synchronizer 11 is disconnected and the countershaft
The PTO gear 10 is released from the countershaft 5, and the rotation of the wheels 12c, 12c is transferred to the pump via the propeller shaft 12a, the main shaft PTO gear 6, the drive gears 7a, 7b, the PTO output shaft 8, the joint 13, and the electromagnetic clutch 14.・Transmit to motor 16. At this time, the ECU 64 controls the two solenoids 30a and 30b of the capacity control solenoid valve 30 so that the pump motor 16 operates as a pump and maximizes its ability as a pump.
The required drive signal D5 (or D
6) is applied to control the tilting angle of the swash plate 22 of the pump motor 16 to an optimum value, and the electromagnetic switching valve 80 of the cutoff valve 44 is energized by applying the drive signal D4, and the logic valve 81 is opened to start the pump. Pressure oil generated by the motor 16 is stored in an accumulator 41 via a first port 28 and a high pressure oil path 40. When the vehicle is stopped and the transmission 3 is in the neutral position, the driver turns on the warning light 87.
When the ECU 64 turns on the charge switch 77 after seeing the light on, the ECU 64 executes pressure charge control. This pressure charge control engages the clutch 2, disengages the main shaft PTO gear synchronizer 9, releases the main shaft PTO gear 6 with respect to the main shaft 4, and releases the main shaft PTO gear 6 from the main shaft 4.
The PTO gear synchronizer 11 is operated in contact, the countershaft PTO gear 10 is fixed to the countershaft 5, and the rotation transmitted from the engine 1 to the countershaft 5 via the clutch 2 and the input shaft 19 of the transmission is transmitted to the countershaft 5.
It is transmitted to the pump/motor 16 via the PTO gear 10, main shaft PTO gear 6, drive gears 7a, 7b, etc. At this time as well, the pump/motor 16 operates as a pump and stores pressure oil in the accumulator 41. This pressure charge control allows pressure oil to be stored in the accumulator 41, which has an insufficient amount of pressure oil, using the engine output in the idling state. Note that when pressure charge control is executed, the ECU 64 sends a charge request signal to the electronic control unit 86, and the electronic control unit 86 sends a charge request signal to the fuel injection pump 8.
4, the amount of fuel supplied to the engine 1 is controlled to increase the required amount, thereby coping with an increase in the load applied to the engine when pressure charge control is executed. When the amount of oil pumped to the accumulator 41 by the pump action of the pump motor 16 exceeds the storage capacity of the accumulator 41, the relief valve 50 opens.
The hydraulic oil is returned to the pressurized oil tank 43 via the relief oil passage 49. At this time, the hydraulic oil drives the hydraulic motor 51 disposed in the relief oil passage 49 to rotate the fan 53, and the hydraulic oil itself is also cooled as it passes through the cooler 52. Hydraulic motor 5
As described above, the fan 53 driven by the fan 53 blows air to the cooler 52 to enhance the oil cooling effect of the cooler 52. Next, when the accelerator pedal is depressed while the vehicle is stopped, the ECU 64 executes start control. This start control is performed by disengaging the main shaft PTO gear synchronizer 9 with the clutch 2 disengaged, releasing the main shaft PTO gear with respect to the main shaft 4, and engaging the countershaft PTO gear synchronizer 11. shaft
The PTO gear 10 is fixed to the countershaft 5 and the high pressure hydraulic oil stored in the accumulator 41 is guided to the pump motor 16 to drive it.
The rotation of the pump motor 16, which operates as a motor, is controlled by the electromagnetic clutch 14, the joint 13, the PTO output shaft 8,
The rotation of the main shaft 4 is transmitted to the drive gears 7b and 7a, the main shaft PTO gear 6, the countershaft PTO gear 10, the countershaft 5, the transmission gears 18 and 17, and the main shaft 4, and the rotation of the main shaft 4 is transmitted to the propeller shaft 12a and the differential gear 12b. The signal is transmitted to the wheels 12c, 12c via. In this start control, the ECU 64 uses the shutoff valve 44
The drive signal D4 is sent to the electromagnetic switching valve 80 to energize the electromagnetic switching valve 80, and the logic valve 81 is opened to supply pressure oil from the accumulator 41 to the pump motor 16. Valve 3
0, the drive signal D6 (or D5) is applied to the solenoid 30b (or 30a) different from the solenoid that applied the drive signal when the pump motor 16 is operated as a pump, and the swash plate 22 of the pump motor 16 is When operated as the pump, it is tilted in the opposite direction by an optimum tilt angle. Also, ECU
64 supplies a pseudo accelerator signal to the electronic governor control unit 86 in place of the accelerator signal from the accelerator sensor 65, and keeps the engine in an idling state even if the driver depresses the accelerator pedal while the start control is being executed. I try to keep it. Therefore, during start control, the vehicle is driven only by the driving force from the pump motor 16. The pressure oil that has driven the pump motor 16 is returned to the pressurized oil tank 43 via the second port 29 and the low pressure oil path 42. When the vehicle accelerates after starting, the ECU 64 engages the clutch 2, engages the main shaft PTO gear synchronizer 9 to fix the main shaft PTO gear 6 to the main shaft 4, and disengages the countershaft PTO gear synchronizer 11. ,
The countershaft PTO gear 10 is released from the countershaft 5, and the rotation transmitted from the engine 1 to the countershaft 5 via the clutch 2 and the input shaft 19 of the transmission 3 is transmitted to the countershaft 5 by the multi-stage transmission gears 18, 17 as usual. The rotation of the main shaft 4 is then transmitted to the propeller shaft 12a and the differential gear 12b.
The rotation of the pump motor 16, which operates as a motor, is transmitted to the wheels 12c, 12c through the electromagnetic clutch 14, the joint 13, the PTO output shaft 8, the drive gears 7b, 7a, the main shaft PTO gear 6,
It is transmitted to the wheels 12c, 12c via the main shaft 4, propeller shaft 12a, and differential gear 12b. Therefore, when the vehicle is accelerated, the vehicle is driven by the driving force of both the engine 1 and the pump/motor 16. In the above embodiment, the present invention was applied to a diesel engine.
It goes without saying that the present invention may be applied to gasoline engines. Further, although a variable displacement axial piston type pump/motor is used as the pump/motor 16 in the embodiment, it may be replaced with another type of pump/motor. (Effects of the Invention) As detailed above, according to the vehicle deceleration energy recovery device of the present invention, a swash plate type variable displacement pump/motor equipped with a swash plate is used as the pump motor, and the swash plate is , a pump operating inclination angle position corresponding to a pump operating state in which hydraulic oil is sucked in from the second port of the pump/motor and discharged from the first port; The swash plate can be tilted between a motor operating tilt angle position corresponding to the motor operating state and a neutral tilt angle position between the pump operating tilt position and the motor operating tilt angle position, and the swash plate is tilted at the neutral tilt angle position. When tilted to the position, hydraulic oil is not sucked in or discharged from either the first port or the second port, and the pressurized air supply source, high pressure, which is connected to the oil tank and pressurizes the hydraulic oil in the oil tank. A replenishment circuit that is connected to at least one of the oil circuit and the low-pressure oil circuit and supplies hydraulic oil to the one circuit, and is supplied to the high-pressure oil circuit from the pump motor when the oil pressure in the accumulator exceeds a predetermined value. A relief circuit that returns hydraulic oil to the oil tank, a control means that outputs a control signal that causes the pump/motor to function as either the pump or the motor depending on the operating state of the vehicle, and a control signal that responds to the control signal from the control means. Since the structure is equipped with a swash plate driving means that changes the tilt angle of the swash plate of the pump motor, there is no need for complicated devices or equipment to recover deceleration energy and use it as starting energy, and the structure is simple. In addition, when switching the pump/motor from the pump operating state to the motor operating state or vice versa, the pump/motor can be switched while it is still rotating, and high pressure oil circuits, etc. without causing any shock. Moreover, fuel efficiency can be improved by recovering deceleration energy and using it as starting energy.
