Definitions

  • the electro-hydraulic pulse motor has a conventional arrangement in which the principal components thereof, consisting of an electric pulse motor, a rotary type four way pilot valve and an axial piston hydraulic motor, are operatively coupled to each other by a reduction gear and a screw-nut coupling having feedback operation and forming a feedback loop in the hydraulic line of the electro-hydraulic pulse motor.
  • a predetermined amount of rotation of the electric pulse motor shaft in response to application of an electric pulse or of electric pulse train to the input of the electric pulse motor, is transmitted to the valve spool of the four way pilot valve part by way of a reduction gear so as to cause rotation of the valve spool.
  • the rotation of the valve spool is transformed into an axial shift of the valve spool by the above-mentioned screw-nut coupling.
  • the axial shift of the valve spool from the initial neutral position opens an oil supply port provided in the four way pilot valve so as to introduce hydraulic fluid from a fluid power source into the hydraulic circuit for actuating the hydraulic motor.
  • This provides a large torque on the shaft of the hydraulic motor, which serves also as the output shaft of the electro-hydraluic pulse motor.
  • the output is used for driving a machine, for example on the one hand.
  • the output rotation of the hydraulic motor restores the valve spool of the four way pilot valve to the neutral position thereof whereupon the hydraulic circuit is blocked again by means of the screw-nut coupling, and one cycle of operation of the electro-hydraluic pulse motor is finished with respect to a pulse applied thereto.
  • the electro-hydraulic pulse motor having the above-mentioned arrangement is used as a control element in a control system
  • the electro-hydraulic pulse motor is required to have the best possible response characteristics with respect to incoming pulses, such as follow-up characteristics of the pilot valve, accuracy of the rotation of the output shaft thereof,and linearity of the output torque relative to change of the incoming inputs.
  • a rotatably fitted eccentric ring has conventionally been arranged in the prior art at the connecting portion between the electric pulse motor and the four way pilot valve so that the adjusting operation
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved electro-hydraulic pulse motor eliminating the above-mentioned defects.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view schematically showing a part of the conventional electro-hydraulic pulse motor
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view taken along line 22 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an over-all perspective view including a partially cut out portion of an electro-hydraluic pulse motor according to the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a schematical view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
  • an eccentric ring 14 is rotatably fitted to an electric pulse motor part 11, while the housing 13 of four way pilot valve part 12 is fitted to the periphery of the eccentric ring 14.
  • the eccentric ring 14 can be rotated by using a suitable tool through aperture 17 formed at a position in housing 13.
  • a slight rotation of the eccentric ring 14 causes radial displacement between the electric pulse motor part 11 and the four way pilot valve part 12, so that backlash present between gear 15 of the electric pulse motor part 11 and gear 16 of the four way pilot valve part 12 changes. Therefore, a properly adjusted rotation of eccentric ring 14 provides a properly adjusted backlash between the engagement of gears 15 and 16 which act as reduction gears.
  • aperture 17 has the defect that fine dust or other foreign material enters the interior of the four way pilot valve 12 through aperture 17 and the junction of eccentric ring 14 and housing 13.
  • a specific eccentric ring 20 is arranged so that the ring 20 is rotatably fitted to the periphery of one end 21a of the electric pulse motor part 21 and the periphery of one end 22a of the four way pilot valve part 22.
  • the eccentric ring 20 can be rotated by applying a slight turning force from outside so that the backlash of thereduction gears consisting of gears 15 and 16 may be adjusted.
  • this eccentric ring 20 is provided with one internal surface 200' which is fitted to the periphery of one end 21a of the electric pulse motor part 21 and another internal surface 20b which is fitted to the periphery of the end 220 of the four way pilot valve part 22, and these two internal surfaces 20a and 20b are formed so as to be eccentric to each other by a preselected amount, e.
  • the properly adjusted electro-hydraulic pulse motor has an excellent performance.
  • the interior of the electro-hydraulic pulse motor is completely shielded from the possibility Of contamination by fine dust or other foreign material.
  • An electro-hydraulic pulse motor comprising:
  • a housing for a hydraulic valve having one end disposed adjacent one end of said motor housing
  • a valve shaft within said valve housing and having a second gear disposed therein, aid gears being disposed to mesh with one another, and
  • a ring having two internal circular surfaces which are mutually eccentric, one of said surfaces being rotatably connected to an external peripheral surface of said end of said motor housing and the other internal surface being rotatably connected to an external peripheral surface of said end of said valve housing.
