 濾過装置の負圧が一定以上になると、液体の中に溶けていた空気が圧力の低下に伴って液の外に逃げ出し、液体の中に気泡が発生する(キャビテーション)。このキャビテーションは、液体の流動中に圧力の高いところへくると崩壊する。 (4) When the negative pressure of the filtration device exceeds a certain level, air dissolved in the liquid escapes out of the liquid as the pressure decreases, and bubbles are generated in the liquid (cavitation). This cavitation collapses when it comes to high pressure during the flow of the liquid.
 特許文献1に記載のサクションフィルタで濾過された後の作動油は、油圧ポンプに導かれる。しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の発明では、液体中のキャビテーションの発生を防止することができない。したがって、液体と共に気泡がポンプに導かれ、キャビテーションがポンプ内部で崩壊して高い衝撃が発生すると、ポンプ内部の固体表面上に壊食(エロージョン)と呼ばれる破壊現象を引き起し、ポンプの寿命を著しく低下させるという問題がある。 作 動 The hydraulic oil after being filtered by the suction filter described in Patent Document 1 is guided to a hydraulic pump. However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 cannot prevent cavitation in a liquid. Therefore, when air bubbles are guided to the pump together with the liquid, and cavitation collapses inside the pump and a high impact is generated, a phenomena called erosion (erosion) is caused on the solid surface inside the pump, thereby extending the life of the pump. There is a problem of remarkable reduction.
 本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、キャビテーションの発生を防止し、ポンプ内でのエロージョンの発生を防ぐことができるサクションフィルタを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide a suction filter capable of preventing occurrence of cavitation and occurrence of erosion in a pump.

The bar-shaped part provided And a resilient member provided at both ends of the first valve body and the rod-shaped member to push up the first valve body toward the cover. When the pressure inside the space formed by the first filtration unit, the cover, and the lower plate becomes a set pressure lower than the cavitation pressure at which air mixed in the liquid becomes bubbles, the first valve body Is configured to switch between a closed state in which the hole is closed and an open state in which the first valve body does not close the hole.

 作動油タンク100は、図示しない作業機械(例えば、油圧装置)に設置されるものであり、この油圧装置へ供給する作動油の油圧回路内に設けられた、作動油を貯留するためのタンクである。作動油タンク100は、例えば箱形のタンク本体101を備えており、このタンク本体101はその内部が空洞となっている。タンク本体101の内側には、主として、サクションフィルタ1と、リターンフィルタ110と、が設けられる。 The hydraulic oil tank 100 is installed in a working machine (for example, a hydraulic device) not shown, and is a tank for storing hydraulic oil provided in a hydraulic circuit of hydraulic oil supplied to the hydraulic device. is there. The hydraulic oil tank 100 includes, for example, a box-shaped tank main body 101, and the inside of the tank main body 101 is hollow. The suction filter 1 and the return filter 110 are mainly provided inside the tank main body 101.
 油圧回路において、作動油は、油圧装置を通って作動油タンク100へ導入される。タンク本体101の側面には、作動油をタンク本体101の内部へ流入させる流入口101aが形成される。流入口101aから流入した作動油は、リターンフィルタ110に導かれる。作動油は、リターンフィルタ110により濾過されて、作動油タンク100内に貯留される。 に お い て In the hydraulic circuit, hydraulic oil is introduced into the hydraulic oil tank 100 through a hydraulic device. An inflow port 101 a through which hydraulic oil flows into the tank body 101 is formed on a side surface of the tank body 101. The hydraulic oil flowing from the inflow port 101a is guided to the return filter 110. The hydraulic oil is filtered by the return filter 110 and stored in the hydraulic oil tank 100.
 タンク本体101の下端部近傍(本実施の形態では、タンク本体101の側面の、底面に近い位置)には、タンク本体101内の作動油をポンプ111へ流出させる流出部101dが形成される。流出部101dには、タンク本体101の外側から、ポンプ111の吸い込みポートへ繋がるサクションパイプ104が嵌挿されている。 流出 An outflow portion 101 d that allows hydraulic oil in the tank main body 101 to flow out to the pump 111 is formed near the lower end of the tank main body 101 (in the present embodiment, at a position near the bottom surface on the side surface of the tank main body 101). A suction pipe 104 connected to the suction port of the pump 111 is fitted into the outflow portion 101d from outside the tank body 101.
 流出部101dの上側(タンク本体101の内側)には、サクションパイプ104への異物の進入を防ぐため、サクションフィルタ1が設けられる。作動油タンク100内に貯留された作動油は、ポンプ111に吸引されて、サクションフィルタ1を通ってサクションパイプ104へ流出し、再度油圧装置へ供給される。 サ A suction filter 1 is provided above the outflow portion 101d (inside the tank body 101) to prevent foreign matter from entering the suction pipe 104. The hydraulic oil stored in the hydraulic oil tank 100 is sucked by the pump 111, flows out to the suction pipe 104 through the suction filter 1, and is again supplied to the hydraulic device.
 サクションフィルタ1には、上方向に延設されるセンタボルト30が設けられる。センタボルト30の下端部側及び上端部側には、それぞれ雄ネジ部(図1では図示省略)が形成されている。センタボルト30の下端部側の雄ネジ部30a(図2参照)は、サクションフィルタ1のカバー15(後に詳述)に形成された雌ネジ部(図示省略)と螺合している。また、サクションフィルタ1のカバー15に接するように雄ネジ部30aにはナット31(図2参照)が螺合している。 The suction filter 1 is provided with a center bolt 30 extending upward. Male screw portions (not shown in FIG. 1) are formed on the lower end side and the upper end side of the center bolt 30, respectively. The male screw portion 30a (see FIG. 2) on the lower end side of the center bolt 30 is screwed with a female screw portion (not shown) formed on the cover 15 (described in detail later) of the suction filter 1. A nut 31 (see FIG. 2) is screwed into the male screw portion 30a so as to be in contact with the cover 15 of the suction filter 1.
 また、タンク本体101の上端部には、サクションフィルタ1やリターンフィルタ110のメンテナンス等に利用する開口部101b、101cが形成される。開口部101bには、蓋体102が取り付けられ、開口部101cには、蓋体103が取り付けられる。 {Circle around (2)} At the upper end of the tank body 101, openings 101b and 101c used for maintenance of the suction filter 1 and the return filter 110 are formed. The lid 102 is attached to the opening 101b, and the lid 103 is attached to the opening 101c.
 蓋体102、103の周縁部には、ボルト挿通孔が形成される。ボルト挿通孔に挿通されたボルト105をタンク本体101のボルト孔(図示せず)に螺合することにより、蓋体102、103はタンク本体101に締結される。 ボ ル ト Bolt insertion holes are formed in the peripheral portions of the lids 102 and 103. By screwing a bolt 105 inserted through the bolt insertion hole into a bolt hole (not shown) of the tank main body 101, the lids 102 and 103 are fastened to the tank main body 101.
 一方、センタボルト30の上端部側の雄ネジ部には、上側に開口した有底略筒形状のガイド(図示省略)が設けられ、ガイドの内部には弾性部材(図示省略)が設けられている。ガイドは、蓋体103の下面に当接する。この結果、弾性部材の両端が蓋体103とガイドとに当接し、弾性部材がセンタボルト30、すなわちサクションフィルタ1を下向きに付勢し、サクションフィルタ1がタンク本体101の内部に保持される。蓋体103をタンク本体101から取り外し、センタボルト30の上端部を引っ張ることで、メンテナンス時等にサクションフィルタ1をタンク本体101から取り出すことができる。 On the other hand, a male guide (not shown) having a bottom and a substantially cylindrical shape and having an open upper end is provided on the male screw portion on the upper end side of the center bolt 30, and an elastic member (not shown) is provided inside the guide. I have. The guide contacts the lower surface of the lid 103. As a result, both ends of the elastic member come into contact with the lid 103 and the guide, and the elastic member urges the center bolt 30, that is, the suction filter 1 downward, so that the suction filter 1 is held inside the tank main body 101. By removing the lid 103 from the tank body 101 and pulling the upper end of the center bolt 30, the suction filter 1 can be taken out of the tank body 101 during maintenance or the like.
 なお、流出部101dは、タンク本体101の下端部近傍であれば、図1に示す位置に限定されない。例えば、流出部101dをタンク本体101の底面に設けてもよい。 The outflow part 101d is not limited to the position shown in FIG. 1 as long as it is near the lower end of the tank body 101. For example, the outflow portion 101d may be provided on the bottom surface of the tank main body 101.
 タンク本体101の底面には、サクションフィルタ1が設けられる空間と、リターンフィルタ110が設けられる空間と、を分割する仕切板101fが設けられる。なお、仕切板101fは必須ではない。 A partition plate 101f is provided on the bottom surface of the tank body 101 to divide the space in which the suction filter 1 is provided and the space in which the return filter 110 is provided. Note that the partition plate 101f is not essential.
 図2は、サクションフィルタ1の概略を示す図であり、(A)は平面図、(B)は側面視における断面図である。図2(A)では、説明のため、カバー15の一部を切断している。サクションフィルタ1は、主として、ストレーナ部10と、バルブ20とを有する。 FIG. 2 is a view schematically showing the suction filter 1, in which (A) is a plan view and (B) is a cross-sectional view in a side view. In FIG. 2 (A), a part of the cover 15 is cut for explanation. The suction filter 1 mainly has a strainer section 10 and a valve 20.
 ストレーナ部10は、略円筒形状の部材であり、流出部101dの上側に載置される。ストレーナ部10は、主として、第1濾過部11と、内筒12と、下プレート13、シール部材14と、カバー15と、第2濾過部16と、を有する。 The strainer section 10 is a substantially cylindrical member, and is placed above the outflow section 101d. The strainer unit 10 mainly includes a first filtration unit 11, an inner cylinder 12, a lower plate 13, a seal member 14, a cover 15, and a second filtration unit 16.
 第1濾過部11は作動油を濾過するためのものである。第1濾過部11は、縦糸と横糸とを交差させた網目状の薄板(シート)をプリーツ状に折り曲げ、薄板の両端を連結して円筒状に丸めることによって形成される。これにより、第1濾過部11は、径方向に厚みを有する略円筒形状となる。本実施の形態では、第1濾過部11には80~150メッシュの金網を用いる。ここでメッシュとは、縦、横各25.4mmの範囲内にある網目(開口)の数であり、メッシュの値が小さいほど網目が大きいことを示す。 The first filtration unit 11 is for filtering hydraulic oil. The first filtration unit 11 is formed by bending a mesh-like thin plate (sheet) in which warp yarns and weft yarns intersect with each other in a pleated shape, connecting both ends of the thin plate, and rounding them into a cylindrical shape. Thereby, the first filtration unit 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a thickness in the radial direction. In the present embodiment, a wire mesh of 80 to 150 mesh is used for the first filtration unit 11. Here, the mesh is the number of meshes (openings) within a range of 25.4 mm in each of the vertical and horizontal directions, and a smaller mesh value indicates a larger mesh.
 なお、本実施の形態では、第1濾過部11は、細線がメッシュ状に編みこまれた金属(例えば、ステンレス)製の金網により形成されているが、合成樹脂や紙等のろ紙を用いてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the first filtration unit 11 is formed of a metal mesh (for example, stainless steel) in which fine wires are woven in a mesh shape, but using a filter paper such as a synthetic resin or paper. Is also good.
 内筒12は、両端に開口を有する略中空円筒形状の部材であり、耐腐食性の高い材料(例えば、ステンレス、アルミニウム等の金属や樹脂)を用いて形成される。内筒12には、略全域に作動油が通過する孔が形成されている。内筒12の外側には、第1濾過部11が設けられる。第1濾過部11の高さは、内筒12の高さと略同じである。ただし、内筒12は必須ではない。 The inner cylinder 12 is a substantially hollow cylindrical member having openings at both ends, and is formed using a material having high corrosion resistance (for example, a metal or resin such as stainless steel or aluminum). In the inner cylinder 12, a hole through which hydraulic oil passes is formed in substantially the entire area. A first filtration unit 11 is provided outside the inner cylinder 12. The height of the first filtration unit 11 is substantially the same as the height of the inner cylinder 12. However, the inner cylinder 12 is not essential.
 第1濾過部11及び内筒12の下端面(-z側の端面)には下プレート13が設けられる。下プレート13は、略円板状の部材であり、樹脂又は金属を用いて形成される。下プレート13は、第1濾過部11及び内筒12の下側全体を覆う。下プレート13には、流出口13aが設けられる。流出口13aは、下プレート13の略中央に設けられており、流出部101dの上側に設けられた筒状部101eが挿入される。流出口13aの内側にはOリング等のシール部材14が設けられており、筒状部101eが流出口13aに挿入されるとシール部材14が筒状部101eと流出口13aとを液密に保持する。これにより、シール部材14と流出部101dとの間から、作動油がストレーナ部10内へ浸入するのが防止される。 下 A lower plate 13 is provided on the lower end surface (the end surface on the −z side) of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12. The lower plate 13 is a substantially disk-shaped member, and is formed using resin or metal. The lower plate 13 covers the entire lower side of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12. The lower plate 13 is provided with an outlet 13a. The outlet 13a is provided substantially at the center of the lower plate 13, and a cylindrical portion 101e provided above the outflow portion 101d is inserted. A seal member 14 such as an O-ring is provided inside the outlet 13a. When the tubular portion 101e is inserted into the outlet 13a, the seal member 14 makes the tubular portion 101e and the outlet 13a liquid-tight. Hold. This prevents the hydraulic oil from entering the strainer section 10 from between the seal member 14 and the outflow section 101d.
 第1濾過部11及び内筒12の上端面(+z側の端面)にはカバー15が設けられる。カバー15は、略円板状の部材であり、樹脂又は金属を用いて形成される。カバー15は、第1濾過部11及び内筒12の上側全体を覆う。 カ バ ー A cover 15 is provided on the upper end surface (the end surface on the + z side) of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12. The cover 15 is a substantially disk-shaped member, and is formed using resin or metal. The cover 15 covers the entire upper side of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12.
 このように、下プレート13及びカバー15は、第1濾過部11、内筒12の両側の開口を覆う。言い換えると、下プレート13及びカバー15は、第1濾過部11及び内筒12を挟持する。これにより、第1濾過部11を通過した作動油は、内筒12の中空部(空間S1)に流れ込み、下プレート13の流出口13aから流出する。 Thus, the lower plate 13 and the cover 15 cover the openings on both sides of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12. In other words, the lower plate 13 and the cover 15 sandwich the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12. Thereby, the hydraulic oil that has passed through the first filtration unit 11 flows into the hollow portion (space S1) of the inner cylinder 12, and flows out from the outlet 13a of the lower plate 13.
 カバー15の略中央には、孔15aが設けられている。孔15aは、サクションフィルタ1の内部空間(第1濾過部11、内筒12、下プレート13及びカバー15により形成された空間)である空間S1と、サクションフィルタ1の外部(ここでは、タンク本体101の内部空間である空間S2(図1参照))とを連通する。バルブ20のオーバーライド特性を小さくするため、孔15aをできるだけ大きくすることが望ましい。本実施の形態では、孔15aの外径φ1は、カバー15の外径φ2の略半分である(図2(A)参照)。 孔 A hole 15a is provided substantially at the center of the cover 15. The hole 15a has a space S1 that is an internal space of the suction filter 1 (a space formed by the first filtration unit 11, the inner cylinder 12, the lower plate 13, and the cover 15) and an outside of the suction filter 1 (here, the tank body). The space 101 communicates with a space S2 (refer to FIG. 1) which is an internal space of the space 101. In order to reduce the override characteristic of the valve 20, it is desirable to make the hole 15a as large as possible. In the present embodiment, the outer diameter φ1 of the hole 15a is substantially half of the outer diameter φ2 of the cover 15 (see FIG. 2A).
 また、カバー15の略中央には孔(図示省略)が形成されており、この孔にはセンタボルト30が挿入されている。センタボルト30は、ナット31によりカバー15に固定されている。 A hole (not shown) is formed substantially at the center of the cover 15, and a center bolt 30 is inserted into this hole. The center bolt 30 is fixed to the cover 15 by a nut 31.
 カバー15の下側(-z側)かつ第1濾過部11及び内筒12の中空部には、孔15aを覆うようにバルブ20が設けられている。バルブ20については後に詳述する。 バ ル ブ A valve 20 is provided below the cover 15 (−z side) and in a hollow portion of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12 so as to cover the hole 15a. The valve 20 will be described later in detail.
 カバー15の上側(+z側)には、孔15aを覆うように第2濾過部16が設けられている。第2濾過部16は、ナット32によりセンタボルト30に固定されている。なお、図2(A)では第2濾過部16及びナット32の図示を省略している。 A second filtering unit 16 is provided on the upper side (+ z side) of the cover 15 so as to cover the hole 15a. The second filtering section 16 is fixed to the center bolt 30 by a nut 32. In FIG. 2A, the illustration of the second filtration unit 16 and the nut 32 is omitted.
 圧力損失を防ぐため、第2濾過部16は、第1濾過部11より目が粗い。言い換えれば、第2濾過部16の網目の大きさは、第1濾過部11の網目の大きさより大きい。本実施の形態では、第2濾過部16には24メッシュの金網を用いる。 2The second filtration unit 16 is coarser than the first filtration unit 11 to prevent pressure loss. In other words, the size of the mesh of the second filtering unit 16 is larger than the size of the mesh of the first filtering unit 11. In the present embodiment, a 24-mesh wire mesh is used for the second filtration unit 16.
 第2濾過部16は傘状であり、第2濾過部16の略円環形状の下端面16aがカバー15と当接する。これにより、第2濾過部16で捕らえられた塵埃が第2濾過部16の表面にとどまらず、カバー15に向けて落下する。 2The second filtering portion 16 has an umbrella shape, and the substantially annular lower end surface 16a of the second filtering portion 16 is in contact with the cover 15. As a result, the dust caught by the second filtering unit 16 does not stay on the surface of the second filtering unit 16 but drops toward the cover 15.
 図3、4は、サクションフィルタ1の概略を示す断面図であり、一部を拡大表示した図である。図3は、バルブ20が閉じた状態(閉状態)を示し、図4はバルブが開いた状態(開状態)を示す。図3では、第1濾過部11の図示を省略している。バルブ20は、主として、スリーブ21と、第1弁体22と、弾性部材23と、を有する。 FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional views schematically showing the suction filter 1 and partially enlarged views. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the valve 20 is closed (closed state), and FIG. 4 shows a state in which the valve is opened (open state). In FIG. 3, the illustration of the first filtration unit 11 is omitted. The valve 20 mainly has a sleeve 21, a first valve body 22, and an elastic member 23.
 スリーブ21は、棒状の部材であり、センタボルト30に挿入される。スリーブ21は、ナット31、33により狭持され、位置決めされる。これにより、スリーブ21がカバー15に立設される。スリーブ21及びセンタボルト30のカバー15の下側に存在する部分を含めて本発明の棒状部材となる。スリーブ21は、センタボルト30の雄ネジ部30aを覆い、第1弁体22を摺動可能とする。スリーブ21の下端には、フランジ21aが設けられる。 The sleeve 21 is a rod-shaped member, and is inserted into the center bolt 30. The sleeve 21 is held and positioned by the nuts 31 and 33. Thereby, the sleeve 21 is erected on the cover 15. The rod-shaped member of the present invention includes a portion of the sleeve 21 and the center bolt 30 existing below the cover 15. The sleeve 21 covers the male screw portion 30a of the center bolt 30, and enables the first valve body 22 to slide. At the lower end of the sleeve 21, a flange 21a is provided.
 第1弁体22は、スリーブ21に設けられており、スリーブ21に沿って移動可能である。弾性部材23は、両端がそれぞれ第1弁体22とフランジ21aに設けられ、第1弁体22をカバー15に向けて押し上げる。 The first valve body 22 is provided on the sleeve 21 and is movable along the sleeve 21. Both ends of the elastic member 23 are provided on the first valve body 22 and the flange 21a, respectively, and push up the first valve body 22 toward the cover 15.
 作動油中に混入している空気が気泡となるキャビテーション圧より小さいセット圧になると、第1弁体22が移動し、バルブ20の開状態と閉状態とが切り替えられる。通常、バルブ20は図3に示す閉状態にある。閉状態では、第1弁体22がカバー15の下端面に当接し、第1弁体22が孔15aを塞いでいる。空間S1の内部の負圧が大きくなると、弾性部材23の付勢力に抗して第1弁体22がスリーブ21に沿って下方向(-z方向)に移動し、バルブ20が図4に示す開状態になる。開状態では、第1弁体22がカバー15の下端面に当接しないため、第1弁体22が孔15aを塞がず、作動油が空間S2から空間S1へと流入する(図4白抜き矢印参照)。 (4) When the air mixed in the hydraulic oil has a set pressure lower than the cavitation pressure at which bubbles are generated, the first valve body 22 moves, and the valve 20 is switched between the open state and the closed state. Normally, the valve 20 is in the closed state shown in FIG. In the closed state, the first valve body 22 is in contact with the lower end surface of the cover 15, and the first valve body 22 closes the hole 15a. When the negative pressure inside the space S1 increases, the first valve body 22 moves downward (-z direction) along the sleeve 21 against the urging force of the elastic member 23, and the valve 20 is shown in FIG. Become open. In the open state, the first valve body 22 does not contact the lower end surface of the cover 15, so that the first valve body 22 does not close the hole 15a, and the hydraulic oil flows from the space S2 into the space S1 (see FIG. 4 white). See the pullout arrow).
 キャビテーション圧力は、一般的に略10~略30kPa(略0.1kgf/cm~略0.3kgf/cm)といわれているため、本実施の形態ではセット圧を0.05kgf/cm又は0.025kgf/cmとする。弾性部材23のばね定数を適切な値とすることで、任意のセット圧とすることができる。 Since the cavitation pressure is generally said to be about 10 to about 30 kPa (about 0.1 kgf / cm 2 to about 0.3 kgf / cm 2 ), in this embodiment, the set pressure is 0.05 kgf / cm 2 or 0.025 kgf / cm 2 . By setting the spring constant of the elastic member 23 to an appropriate value, an arbitrary set pressure can be obtained.
 次に、このように構成されたサクションフィルタ1の機能について説明する。まず、図1に示すように、作動油が貯蔵されたタンク本体101に、サクションフィルタ1を取り付ける。下プレート13が下端に位置するようにセンタボルト30を保持し、サクションフィルタ1を下方(-z方向)へ押し下げる。 Next, the function of the suction filter 1 configured as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, a suction filter 1 is attached to a tank body 101 in which hydraulic oil is stored. The center bolt 30 is held so that the lower plate 13 is located at the lower end, and the suction filter 1 is pushed down (−z direction).
 タンク本体101に貯蔵された作動油は、ポンプ111に吸引されると、第1濾過部11の外側から、内筒12の内部へ吸い込まれる。内筒12の内部へ流出した油は、下方からサクションフィルタ1の外へ流出する。 (4) When the hydraulic oil stored in the tank body 101 is sucked by the pump 111, it is sucked into the inner cylinder 12 from outside the first filtration unit 11. The oil that has flowed into the inner cylinder 12 flows out of the suction filter 1 from below.
 作動油の流量が増加すると、空間S1の負圧が大きくなる。そして、負圧がセット圧となると、第1弁体22が移動し、閉状態にあったバルブ20が開状態になる。 (4) When the flow rate of the hydraulic oil increases, the negative pressure in the space S1 increases. Then, when the negative pressure becomes the set pressure, the first valve body 22 moves, and the valve 20 that has been closed is opened.
 図5は、バルブ20が設けられていない場合及びバルブ20が設けられている場合の作動油の流量と空間S1の負圧との関係を示すグラフである。ここでは、セット圧を0.05kgf/cm、0.025kgf/cmの2通りのバルブ20を用いて実験を行った。図5において、横軸は作動油の流量であり、縦軸は空間S1の負圧である。 FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the flow rate of hydraulic oil and the negative pressure in the space S1 when the valve 20 is not provided and when the valve 20 is provided. Here, 0.05 kgf / cm 2 to set pressure, an experiment was conducted using the valve 20 of the two types of 0.025kgf / cm 2. In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis represents the flow rate of the hydraulic oil, and the vertical axis represents the negative pressure in the space S1.
 図5に示すように、バルブ20が設けられていない場合には、作動油の流量の増加と共に空間S1の負圧が上昇し、0.08kgf/cmでキャビテーションが発生してしまった。そして、キャビテーション発生後も作動油の流量の増加と共に空間S1の負圧が上昇した。 As shown in FIG. 5, when the valve 20 was not provided, the negative pressure in the space S1 increased with an increase in the flow rate of the hydraulic oil, and cavitation occurred at 0.08 kgf / cm 2 . Then, even after the occurrence of cavitation, the negative pressure in the space S1 increased with an increase in the flow rate of the hydraulic oil.
 それに対し、バルブ20を設けた場合には、作動油の流量の増加と共に空間S1の負圧が上昇したが、空間S1の負圧はセット圧より大きくならず、キャビテーションは発生しなかった。 In contrast, when the valve 20 was provided, the negative pressure in the space S1 increased with an increase in the flow rate of the hydraulic oil, but the negative pressure in the space S1 did not become larger than the set pressure, and no cavitation occurred.
 図4に示すように、バルブ20が開くと、孔15aを介して未濾過の作動油が空間S2から空間S1に流入する。第2濾過部16が設けられていることで、大きな塵埃が空間S1に流入しないようにすることができる。 と As shown in FIG. 4, when the valve 20 is opened, the unfiltered hydraulic oil flows from the space S2 into the space S1 through the hole 15a. The provision of the second filtering unit 16 can prevent large dust from flowing into the space S1.
 本実施の形態によれば、サクションフィルタ1でのキャビテーションの発生を防止することができる。その結果、ポンプ内でのエロージョンの発生を防ぎ、ポンプの長寿命化に寄与することができる。また、弾性部材23を用いたバルブ20としたため、適切なセット圧にすることができる。 According to the present embodiment, the occurrence of cavitation in the suction filter 1 can be prevented. As a result, the occurrence of erosion in the pump can be prevented, and the life of the pump can be extended. Further, since the valve 20 uses the elastic member 23, an appropriate set pressure can be obtained.
 例えば、通常はフロートが油に浮いて孔15aを覆い、負圧が大きくなるとフロートが下がって孔15aが解放されるボール弁を採用する場合には、空間S1の負圧が小さい状態でバルブが開いてしまうという問題がある。その結果、必要以上に早い段階で未濾過の作動油が空間S1に流入し、サクションフィルタ1の役割が果たせなくなってしまう。それに対し、弾性部材23を用いて第1弁体22を移動させるバルブ20とすることで、セット圧を適切な値とし、キャビテーションを防ぎつつサクションフィルタ1の役割を果たすことができる。 For example, when adopting a ball valve in which the float normally floats on the oil and covers the hole 15a, and when the negative pressure increases, the float lowers and the hole 15a is released, the valve is operated in a state where the negative pressure in the space S1 is small. There is a problem of opening. As a result, unfiltered hydraulic oil flows into the space S1 at an earlier stage than necessary, and the role of the suction filter 1 cannot be fulfilled. On the other hand, by using the valve 20 that moves the first valve body 22 using the elastic member 23, the set pressure can be set to an appropriate value, and the function of the suction filter 1 can be achieved while preventing cavitation.
 なお、本実施の形態では、孔15aの上側に傘型の第2濾過部16を設けたが、第2濾過部の形状は傘型に限られない。例えば、略板状の金網を第2濾過部として孔15aを覆うように設けてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the umbrella-shaped second filtering portion 16 is provided above the hole 15a, but the shape of the second filtering portion is not limited to the umbrella shape. For example, a substantially plate-shaped wire net may be provided as the second filtering portion so as to cover the hole 15a.
 また、本実施の形態では、センタボルト30の下端近傍にバルブ20を設けたが、センタボルト30以外の棒状部材をカバー15に設け、その棒状部材を用いてバルブ20を設けてもよい。ただし、部品点数を減らし、簡単な構成にするためには、センタボルト30の下端近傍にバルブ20を設けることが望ましい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the valve 20 is provided near the lower end of the center bolt 30, but a rod-shaped member other than the center bolt 30 may be provided on the cover 15, and the valve 20 may be provided using the rod-shaped member. However, it is desirable to provide the valve 20 near the lower end of the center bolt 30 in order to reduce the number of parts and achieve a simple configuration.
 <第2の実施の形態>
 本発明の第1の実施の形態では、第1弁体22を有するバルブ20を用いたが、バルブの形態はこれに限られない。
<Second embodiment>
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the valve 20 having the first valve body 22 is used, but the form of the valve is not limited to this.
 本発明の第2の実施の形態は、空気を抜くための第2弁体をさらに有するバルブを用いる形態である。以下、第2の実施の形態にかかるサクションフィルタ2について説明する。なお、第1の実施の形態と同一の部分については、同一の符号を付し、説明を省略する。 2 The second embodiment of the present invention uses a valve further having a second valve body for bleeding air. Hereinafter, the suction filter 2 according to the second embodiment will be described. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.
 図6は、サクションフィルタ2の概略を示す図であり、(A)は平面図、(B)は側面視における断面図である。図6(A)では、説明のため、カバー15Aの一部を切断している。サクションフィルタ2は、主として、ストレーナ部10Aと、バルブ20Aとを有する。 FIG. 6 is a view schematically showing the suction filter 2, in which (A) is a plan view and (B) is a cross-sectional view in a side view. In FIG. 6A, a part of the cover 15A is cut for explanation. The suction filter 2 mainly has a strainer section 10A and a valve 20A.
 ストレーナ部10Aは、主として、第1濾過部11と、内筒12と、下プレート13と、シール部材14と、カバー15Aと、第2濾過部16と、を有する。カバー15Aは、略円板形状の板状部15hと、板状部15hに設けられた凸部15iと、を有する。凸部15iは、略円筒形状であり、板状部15hから上向き(+z向き)、つまり第1濾過部11と反対側に突出している。凸部15iは内部が空洞(空間S3)であり、この空洞の壁面は内壁面15kである。内壁面15kは、板状部15hの略中央に設けられた孔の壁面を兼用しており、空間S3はカバー15Aの下端面に開口している。 The strainer unit 10A mainly includes a first filtration unit 11, an inner cylinder 12, a lower plate 13, a seal member 14, a cover 15A, and a second filtration unit 16. The cover 15A has a substantially disk-shaped plate-like portion 15h and a protrusion 15i provided on the plate-like portion 15h. The convex portion 15i has a substantially cylindrical shape, and protrudes upward (+ z direction) from the plate-like portion 15h, that is, protrudes to the opposite side to the first filtering portion 11. The inside of the convex portion 15i is a cavity (space S3), and the wall surface of the cavity is an inner wall surface 15k. The inner wall surface 15k also serves as a wall surface of a hole provided substantially at the center of the plate-shaped portion 15h, and the space S3 is open at the lower end surface of the cover 15A.
 凸部15iは上端面15jを有し、上端面15jには孔15aが設けられている。孔15aは、空間S3と、空間S2とを連通する。また、上端面15jの略中央には孔(図示省略)が形成されており、この孔にはセンタボルト30が挿入されている。センタボルト30は、ナット31により上端面15jに固定されている。 The protrusion 15i has an upper end surface 15j, and a hole 15a is provided in the upper end surface 15j. The hole 15a communicates the space S3 with the space S2. A hole (not shown) is formed substantially at the center of the upper end surface 15j, and a center bolt 30 is inserted into this hole. The center bolt 30 is fixed to the upper end surface 15j by a nut 31.
 カバー15Aの下側(-z側)かつ第1濾過部11及び内筒12の中空部には、孔15aを覆うようにバルブ20Aが設けられる。 バ ル ブ A valve 20A is provided below the cover 15A (−z side) and in a hollow portion of the first filtration unit 11 and the inner cylinder 12 so as to cover the hole 15a.
 図7、8、9は、サクションフィルタ2の概略を示す断面図であり、一部を拡大表示した図である。図7~9では、第1濾過部11の図示を省略している。バルブ20Aは、主として、スリーブ21と、第1弁体22Aと、弾性部材23と、第2弁体24と、を有する。 FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 are cross-sectional views schematically showing the suction filter 2, and are partially enlarged views. 7 to 9, illustration of the first filtration unit 11 is omitted. The valve 20A mainly includes a sleeve 21, a first valve body 22A, an elastic member 23, and a second valve body 24.
 第1弁体22Aは、スリーブ21に設けられており、スリーブ21に沿って移動可能である。作動油中に混入している空気が気泡となるキャビテーション圧より小さいセット圧になると、第1弁体22Aが移動し、バルブ20の開状態と閉状態とが切り替えられる。 1The first valve body 22A is provided on the sleeve 21 and is movable along the sleeve 21. When the air mixed in the hydraulic oil has a set pressure lower than the cavitation pressure at which bubbles are generated, the first valve body 22A moves, and the valve 20 is switched between the open state and the closed state.
 第1弁体22Aには、複数の空気孔22aが形成される。第1弁体22Aの上側には、第2弁体24が設けられている。第2弁体24は、略板状であり、作動油に沈む材料を用いて形成されている。第2弁体24は、スリーブ21に設けられており、スリーブ21に沿って移動可能である。 複数 A plurality of air holes 22a are formed in the first valve body 22A. A second valve body 24 is provided above the first valve body 22A. The second valve body 24 is substantially plate-shaped, and is formed using a material that sinks in hydraulic oil. The second valve body 24 is provided on the sleeve 21 and is movable along the sleeve 21.
 図7は、バルブ20Aが閉じた状態(閉状態)を示す。バルブ20Aが閉状態のときには、第1弁体22Aは凸部15i内の空洞である空間S3を覆うようにカバー15Aの下端面に当接する。 FIG. 7 shows a state in which the valve 20A is closed (closed state). When the valve 20A is in the closed state, the first valve body 22A contacts the lower end surface of the cover 15A so as to cover the space S3 which is a cavity in the convex portion 15i.
 第2弁体24は、第1弁体22Aとカバー15Aとの間に設けられており、バルブ20Aが閉状態にあるときは、第2弁体24は凸部15i内、すなわち空間S3の内部に設けられる。 The second valve body 24 is provided between the first valve body 22A and the cover 15A. When the valve 20A is in the closed state, the second valve body 24 is in the convex portion 15i, that is, in the space S3. Is provided.
 サクションフィルタ2がタンク本体101の内部に設けられていない状態では、第2弁体24は空気孔22aを覆う位置に位置する。そして、サクションフィルタ2に空気が入った状態で、サクションフィルタ2はタンク本体101の内部に装着される。サクションフィルタ2をタンク本体101の内部に貯留された作動油に沈めると、空気がカバー15Aの下側に溜まり、カバー15Aの下側に溜まった空気が空気孔22aを介して第2弁体24を押し上げる。 で は When the suction filter 2 is not provided inside the tank main body 101, the second valve body 24 is located at a position covering the air hole 22a. Then, the suction filter 2 is mounted inside the tank main body 101 in a state where the air enters the suction filter 2. When the suction filter 2 is submerged in the hydraulic oil stored in the tank body 101, the air accumulates below the cover 15A, and the air accumulates below the cover 15A. Push up.
 図8は、第2弁体24が上方向(+z方向)に移動したエア抜き状態を示す。このように、第2弁体24が空気孔22aを覆わない位置まで押し上げられると、イニシャルエアが空気孔22a及び孔15aを通ってサクションフィルタ2の外部へ排出される(図8二点鎖線矢印参照)。 FIG. 8 shows an air-bleeding state in which the second valve body 24 has moved upward (+ z direction). When the second valve element 24 is pushed up to a position not covering the air hole 22a, the initial air is discharged to the outside of the suction filter 2 through the air hole 22a and the hole 15a (see the two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. 8). reference).
 なお、空気孔22aの位置、大きさ、及び形状は図7、8等に示す形態に限られない。ただし、第2弁体24を押し上げる空気圧を確保するためには、空気孔22aの直径は略5mm~略10mm以上とすることが望ましい。 The position, size, and shape of the air holes 22a are not limited to those shown in FIGS. However, in order to secure an air pressure that pushes up the second valve body 24, it is desirable that the diameter of the air hole 22a be approximately 5 mm to approximately 10 mm or more.
 図9は、バルブ20Aが開いた状態(開状態)を示す。空間S1の内部の負圧が大きくなり、作動油中に混入している空気が気泡となるキャビテーション圧より小さいセット圧になると、弾性部材23の付勢力に抗して第1弁体22Aがスリーブ21に沿って下方向に移動する。なお、第2弁体24は作動油に沈むため、第1弁体22Aと共に第2弁体24が下方向に移動する。 FIG. 9 shows a state in which the valve 20A is open (open state). When the negative pressure inside the space S1 increases and the set pressure is lower than the cavitation pressure at which the air mixed in the hydraulic oil becomes bubbles, the first valve body 22A is turned into a sleeve against the urging force of the elastic member 23. It moves downward along 21. Since the second valve body 24 sinks in the hydraulic oil, the second valve body 24 moves downward together with the first valve body 22A.
 この結果、第1弁体22Aがカバー15Aの下端面から離れ、空間S1と空間S3とが連通され、バルブ20Aが開状態になる。開状態では、孔15aを介して作動油が空間S2から空間S1、S3へと流入する(図9白抜き矢印参照)。 As a result, the first valve body 22A is separated from the lower end surface of the cover 15A, the space S1 and the space S3 are communicated, and the valve 20A is opened. In the open state, the hydraulic oil flows from the space S2 into the spaces S1 and S3 via the hole 15a (see the white arrows in FIG. 9).
 本実施の形態によれば、サクションフィルタ2でのキャビテーションの発生を防止することができる。また、第2弁体24を有するバルブ20Aを用いることで、サクションフィルタ2(空間S1)内の空気を空間S2へ排出することができる。そのため、作動油の流れに乗って空間S2内の空気がポンプへ流出しないようにすることができる。 According to the present embodiment, the occurrence of cavitation in the suction filter 2 can be prevented. Further, by using the valve 20A having the second valve body 24, the air in the suction filter 2 (the space S1) can be discharged to the space S2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the air in the space S2 from flowing out to the pump by riding the flow of the hydraulic oil.
 本実施の形態によれば、第1弁体22Aが略板状であるため、第1弁体22Aと内筒12との間に空気が溜まりにくい。そのため、サクションフィルタ2の稼働時間が長くなり、空間S1内に空気が溜まったとしても、その空気は第1弁体22Aの下側に溜まり、第2弁体24を押し上げることで、空気を空間S2へ排出することができる。 According to the present embodiment, since the first valve body 22A has a substantially plate shape, air does not easily accumulate between the first valve body 22A and the inner cylinder 12. Therefore, the operation time of the suction filter 2 is prolonged, and even if air accumulates in the space S1, the air accumulates below the first valve body 22A and pushes up the second valve body 24 to remove air. It can be discharged to S2.
 なお、本実施の形態では、板状部15hと凸部15iとが一部品となったカバー15Aを用いたが、板状部15hと凸部15iとを別部品とし、これらを組み立てることでカバーとしてもよい。 In this embodiment, the cover 15A in which the plate-shaped portion 15h and the projection 15i are formed as one component is used. However, the plate-shaped portion 15h and the projection 15i are formed as separate components, and the cover 15A is assembled by assembling these components. It may be.
 また、本実施の形態では、凸部15iを有するカバー15Aを用い、略板状の第1弁体22Aを有するバルブ20Aを用いたが、空気を抜きつつキャビテーションを防止するバルブの形態はこれに限られない。図10は、変形例にかかるサクションフィルタ2Aの概略を示す断面図であり、一部を拡大表示した図である。サクションフィルタ2Aは、略板状のカバー15と、バルブ20Bと、を用いる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the cover 15A having the convex portion 15i is used, and the valve 20A having the substantially plate-shaped first valve body 22A is used. Not limited. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a suction filter 2A according to a modified example, and is a partially enlarged view. The suction filter 2A uses a substantially plate-shaped cover 15 and a valve 20B.
 バルブ20Bは、主として、スリーブ21と、第1弁体22Bと、弾性部材23と、第2弁体24と、を有する。第1弁体22Bは、スリーブ21に設けられており、スリーブ21に沿って移動可能である。 The valve 20B mainly includes a sleeve 21, a first valve body 22B, an elastic member 23, and a second valve body 24. The first valve body 22B is provided on the sleeve 21 and is movable along the sleeve 21.
 第1弁体22Bは有底略円筒形状であり、底面には複数の空気孔22aが形成される。第2弁体24は、第1弁体22Bの上側に設けられており、スリーブ21に沿って移動可能である。 The first valve body 22B has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom, and has a plurality of air holes 22a formed in the bottom surface. The second valve body 24 is provided above the first valve body 22B, and is movable along the sleeve 21.
 空間S1の内部の負圧がセット圧になると、弾性部材23の付勢力に抗して第1弁体22Bがスリーブ21に沿って下方向に移動する。この結果、第1弁体22Bがカバー15Aの下端面から離れ、空間S1と空間S3とが連通され、バルブ20Bが開状態になる。また、空気が空気孔22aを介して第2弁体24を押し上げると、空間S1内の空気が空間S3を通って空間S2へ排出される。 When the negative pressure inside the space S1 becomes the set pressure, the first valve body 22B moves downward along the sleeve 21 against the urging force of the elastic member 23. As a result, the first valve body 22B separates from the lower end surface of the cover 15A, the space S1 and the space S3 communicate with each other, and the valve 20B is opened. When the air pushes up the second valve body 24 via the air hole 22a, the air in the space S1 is discharged to the space S2 through the space S3.
 ただし、サクションフィルタ2Aでは、空間S1の内部、特に第1弁体22Bと内筒12との間(図10の二点鎖線で囲まれた領域)に空気が溜まりやすいため、サクションフィルタ2のように、凸部15iを有するカバー15Aを用い、略板状の第1弁体22Aを有するバルブ20Aを用いることが望ましい。 However, in the suction filter 2A, since air tends to accumulate inside the space S1, particularly between the first valve body 22B and the inner cylinder 12 (the area surrounded by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10), the suction filter 2A It is preferable to use a cover 15A having a convex portion 15i and a valve 20A having a substantially plate-shaped first valve body 22A.
