Definitions

  • the auxiliary unit is a [51] Int. Cl. .,F04b 23/08, gear pump, both pump units are located in the same housing F04b 23/ l 2, F04b U07 and one of the gears of the gear pump is directly mounted on a [50] Field of Search l03/l02; rotating element of the high-pressure unit, for example on a rotating cylinder or other rotating element thereof.
  • the present invention relates to hydraulic machines, which, for purposes of this application, are defined as hydraulic apparatus which can act both as a pump or as a hydraulic motor unit.
  • the application is directed to hydraulic machines having a cylinder and piston assembly, in which a plurality of cylinder bores are located around an axial shaft, and the pistons are slidable therein and connected to a wobble plate.
  • a low-pressure gear pump is in driving connection with the high-pressure hydraulic machine unit, so that a compound machine is obtained.
  • Rotary hydraulic machines, and in particular rotary hydraulic pumps of the multiple parallel piston type are frequently operated at-such speeds that the hydraulic fluid can no longer be completely sucked into the cylinders at the low-pressure side of the pump, to completely fill the cylinder. Additionally, upon interruption of flow, the well-known under-pressure effects and noise due to cavitation will result. Pumps of this type are usually, therefore, supplied with fluid at an initial pressure of a few atmospheres at their low pressure side. The pressure for this low-pressure supply is usually obtained by means of gear pumps or similar displacement pumps, combined in a suitable manner with the hydraulic apparatus. Usually, such an auxiliary pump, also referred to as a supply, or feed pump, is located outside of the housing of the main pump and secured thereto.
  • a supply, or feed pump is located outside of the housing of the main pump and secured thereto.
  • the feed pump will be entirely separate of the hydraulic machine.
  • the drive'to the feed pump is usually on the same power shaft as that of the main or highpressure hydraulic machine (operating either as a pump, or as a motor). It may be driven directly from the same shaft, or from a branch drive connected to the power shaft. Such additional drive arrangements require additional material and adjustment costs, thus making the entire unit more expensive.
  • the auxiliary low-pressure unit is a gear pump, having at least one gear directly mounted, internally of the high-pressure machine, on a rotating element of the high-pressure unit, for example on a rotating element of the machine unit itself, or on the drive shaft therefor; both the gear pump unit and the high-pressure unit are located in the same housing to avoid additional special fluid conduit connections.

  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view at right angles to FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a different embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view, at right angles to the view of FIG. 3;

  • the bore 9 in the front of housing 3 is closed off by means of a cover 10, supplied with the usual elastic seals to close off the shaft 6 from the interior of the housing.
  • Such seals are not shown nor further described in detail since they are well known in the art.
  • Each one of the hydraulic machines themselves, includes a control plate 11, having notches or grooves therein which communicate with control bores 12 of a rotating cylinder 13.
  • Cylinder 13 has a group of parallel, axially extending bores arranged therein, circumferential around shaft 6 (as best seen in FIG. 2) in which pistons 14 are slidable.
  • the pistons 14 engage, by means of a ball joint and glide track 15 a wobble plate 16.
  • the track 15, or the entire wobble plate l 6 is inclined with respect to the axis of the shaft so that the pistons, upon rotation of the cylinder, will move back and forth in the cylinder bores.
  • Each of the two cylinders has a gear 17, 18,-secured thereto, the gears of the two cylinders being in meshing engagement.
  • Gears i7, 18 are partly closed off by a pump body unit 19, located within the housing of the compound machine.
  • housing 19 may either by a single unitary element or consist of a central part 20 and sidewalls 21, 22
  • Body 19 is so made that one section thereof just covers the teeth of gears 17, 18, and a portion of the sidewalls 21,22 closes off the gears at their side faces (see FIG. 1).
  • a space 24 is formed by the gears 17, 18 and housing 19, to which a duct 25 is connected which terminates in a duct formed in the end plate 4..
  • the two gears 17, 18 must be exactly aligned, and at least one of the hydraulic machine units therefore is preferably axially adjustable or the location of cover plate 10 is so arranged that the two gears mesh exactly and are in exact side alignment.
  • Body 19 itself is secured within the housing of the compound hydraulic machine by means of a bolt 26, and is slidable axially (that is, in FIG. 1 left and right) thereon for self-alignment with the gears.
  • bolt 26 may be replaced by a hollow bolt, and a connection formed from chamber 24 to the interior of the hollow bolt. in this case, the hollow bolt will supply, or conduct off fluid similar to duct 25.
  • FIG. 4a illustrates the alternative construction, wherein a hollow bolt 56, having a slit formed therein, communicates by means of a channel 55 with chamber 24.
  • the other end of the bolt 56 may likewise be slit, or communicate directly with a duct in end plate 4 through the axial opening.
  • Gears l7 and l8,and body unit. 19 together form a gear pump.
  • the two hydraulic machines When the housing is filled with hydraulic fluid, the two hydraulic machines will rotate in the-direction of arrows 27, 28 (FIG. 2) and fluid will be conducted into the space formed by chamber 24, and from then on through duct 25 in the end plate 4. From end plate 4 the fluid, undersome pressure, can
  • end plate 4 may itself serve for interconnecting channels formed or cut therein to supply the various cylinders in the hydraulic machines.
  • gears 17, 18, then transfer power to the hydraulic machine unit which is not driven (or does not supply rotary power to a utilization device), so that gears l7, 18 will have a dual function of drive and hydraulic pump.
  • the two units of the hydraulic machines may form a hydraulic drive, in which the speed of the unit operating as a pump may be different from the speed of the unit operating as a hydraulic motor.
  • the two gears 17, 18 may no longer be fixed to the cylinder units and restrained from relative rotation with respect thereto. If, for example, gear 18 surrounds the cylinder unit which operates as a hydraulic motor, then gear 18 will be fixed over cylinder unit 13 so as to be rotatable therewith.
  • the pump unit that is the unit with gear 17
  • the gear 17 will drive gear 18 with the speed determined by the ratio of the gears themselves.
  • the speed of the hydraulic motor will depend on the volume of hydraulic fluid supplied by the unit forming the pump and, if the volume of supply is changeable (for example by changing the inclination of the slide track 15 or the wobble plate 16), then the speed of the motor may itself change correspondingly, for example between zero and a maximum value depending on design.
  • the absolute speed between gear 18 and the cylinder element of the unit functioning as a hydraulic motor will then be the difference or, respectively, the sum (depending on direction of rotation) of the speed of the gear 18 as determined by the driving speed of the pump unit and the speed of the hydraulic unit functioning as a motor.

  • the ducts are located coaxial with retaining unit 38, connection to the supply ducts (not shown) being over the duct 39 shown in broken lines.
  • Gear 40 is secured, in driving engagement, to shaft 32, to rotate therewith, and to mesh with a second gear 41, journaled within gear body 42.
  • Gear body 42 (FIG. 4) comprises a central portion 43, as well as a pair of sidewalls 44, 45, snugly surrounding the faces of gears 40, 41.
  • Body 42 is secured between walls 29 and 33 by a bolt 46, to be axially movable for self-alignment.
  • Gears 4t), 41 together with body 42 form a space or chamber 47 (FIG. 4) to which a hydraulic line 48 is connected.
  • Space 47 forms the pressure chamber of the gear pump formed by gears 40, 41 and body 42, when the gears rotate in the direction of the arrows 49, 50.
  • Fluid under pressure is conducted over line 48 to the high-speed, high-pressure main hydraulic unit, or provides an additional, low-pressure removal of hydraulic fluid when the main unit is operating as a motor.
