Definitions

  • the pumping chambers are required to connect and disconnect from the suction and discharge ports of the pump at the appropriate times to provide flow of the fluid. There is typically a relatively large difference in pressure between these ports. Metering grooves, orifices, or slots are often used to provide a small amount of flow to the oncoming piston to aid in the transition of pressure. During this transition of pressure, there can be very large differences in pressure which result in very high fluid velocities. When the fluid velocities are high, the static pressure drops and the dynamic pressure increases per Bernoulli's equation. Typical hydraulic fluids will have dissolved gasses that can come out of solution, or can be vaporized at sufficiently low pressures. When the gas comes out of solution, or the fluid is vaporized, the voids can be collapsed when subject to high pressures, leading to erosion damage of the valve plate, barrel, and pistons.
  • aspects of the present disclosure relate to a metering feature used in the valve plate of an axial piston device such as an axial piston pump or an axial piston motor. Certain aspects are adapted for reducing the fluid velocity through a port in the valve plate as a piston chamber of a piston chamber block of a rotating group transitions from a first pressure to a second pressure (e.g., from inlet pressure to outlet pressure or from outlet pressure to inlet pressure) as the piston chamber block rotates relative to the valve plate.
  • a first pressure e.g., from inlet pressure to outlet pressure or from outlet pressure to inlet pressure
  • separate flow restrictions in series are provided to reduce the fluid velocity flowing through the valve port and to keep the static pressure higher in the restrictions when there are large differences in pressure between the pressure in the valve port and the pressure in the piston chamber as the piston chamber transitions from inlet pressure to outlet pressure or from outlet pressure to inlet pressure during rotation of the rotating group of the axial piston device.
  • the fluid velocity can be reduced by dropping the pressure in multiple stages using the restrictions in series.
  • the differential pressure across each restriction is lower so the velocity through each restriction is lower. Reducing the fluid velocity helps to avoid the creation of voids and the resulting cavitation damage to the pump.
  • the axial piston device having a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side.
  • the axial piston device includes a pressure transition passage that transitions the pressure in piston chambers of the axial piston device as the piston chambers transition from one of the low and high pressure sides of the axial piston device to the other of the low and high pressure sides of the axial piston device.
  • the pressure transition passage includes first and second restrictions separated by a pressure recovery chamber.
  • aspects can relate to individual features and to combinations of features.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a hydraulic pump in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the hydraulic pump of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of a valve plate of the hydraulic pump of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 4 shows the valve plate of FIG. 3 mounted adjacent to and end cover of the hydraulic pump of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 5 is an end view of the end cover of the hydraulic pump of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing a portion of the end cover of FIG. 5 depicting a portion of a pressure transition passage defined in part by the end cover.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view cut through the portion of the pressure transition passage defined by the end cover.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view cut through the end plate and the valve plate of the hydraulic pump of FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross-sectional view depicts the pressure transition passage of the hydraulic pump which is defined in part by the end cover and in part by the valve plate of the hydraulic pump.
  • FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view depicting an alternative configuration for a pressure transition passage in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure.
  • aspects of the present disclosure relate to an axial displacement device (e.g., a hydraulic pump or hydraulic motor) that uses a multi-step pressure drop to reduce the velocity of the fluid entering the piston chambers of the rotating group during initiation of pressure transitions between low and high pressure sides of the device. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the fact that the velocity through an orifice can be described by the pressure differential exclusive of the area as shown in Eq. (1)
  • the pressure is preferably recovered between each stage for the resistances to function appropriately. This requires that the fluid kinetic energy represented by the velocity is largely converted into potential energy represented by the pressure. This is accomplished by reducing the velocity of the fluid after the restriction to a minimal value.
  • Reducing the velocity of the fluid through each restriction provides multiple benefits.
  • a series of restrictions of a given size will flow the equivalent amount of a smaller singular restriction without the manufacturing difficulties or sensitivity to contaminants in the fluid.
  • Another benefit of the series of restrictions is that the static pressure in the fluid stream passing through the restriction remains higher due to the lower velocity. Keeping the static pressure of the fluid flowing through the restriction higher reduces the amount of cavitation that occurs in the fluid stream. Avoiding the creation of entrained gas in the fluid helps to reduce the cavitation erosion damage that may occur on the nearby surfaces within the pump.
  • the volume(s) between the restrictions is expected to drop to a fraction of the pressure difference. If the pressure in this volume remains substantially high, the effect of the restrictions will not be present as the potential energy in the chamber will be sufficient to raise the piston pressure without a significant drop.
  • the various figures included in this disclosure depict an axial piston pump having a pressure transition feature for reducing the velocity of flow into the piston chambers of the axial piston pump during pressure transitions in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure.
  • the pressure transition feature is at the location where the piston chambers of the axial piston pump transition from a low-pressure side of the pump to a high-pressure side of the pump.
  • pressure transition features in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure can also be used to reduce the velocity of flow out of the piston chambers as the axial piston pump transitions from a high-pressure side to a low pressure side of the axial piston pump.
