Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hydraulic piston pump, and more particularly, to a shaft-distributed double-acting roller piston pump.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hydraulic systems are widely used in important fields such as aviation, aerospace, and navigation. As an energy power component, hydraulic pumps play a decisive role in the performance, efficiency and application fields of hydraulic systems. Especially the axial piston pump, as a typical representative of hydraulic pump. It has the characteristics of high pressure, high speed and large flow, which meets the development and application requirements of high hydraulic power density. In recent years, with the rapid development of the industry, the requirements for hydraulic pumps are also increasing day by day. Due to the limitations of friction pairs, size and other factors, traditional piston pumps can no longer meet the needs of high speed, stability and light weight.


The structural principle of the traditional axial piston pump is that several (usually 5, 7 or 9) pistons rotate with the cylinder block, and one end of the pistons reciprocate relative to the cylinder block under the constraint of the swash plate or the inclined shaft-ball hinge. During the movement, a periodically changing working volume is formed in the cylinder block hole, and the oil is sucked and discharged through the channel at the bottom of the cylinder block and communicated with the high and low pressure waist-shaped grooves of the distribution plate.


In order to break through the constraints of sliding friction pairs on pump performance, Jian Ruan et al. proposed a two-dimensional(2D) piston pump. In the two-dimensional (2D) piston pump, the cylinder block and the piston adopt an axisymmetric structure, and the piston is always in a state of radial force balance during the process of rotation and axial reciprocation, so there is no cylinder-valve friction pair and piston-cylinder friction pair. In addition, the hydrostatic pressure on the piston during oil discharge is supported by the roller-saddle rail rolling pair on the same side, because the hydrostatic pressure generated by a single piston (equal to the annular piston area multiplied by the pump outlet pressure) is limited. Therefore, standard high-efficiency rolling bearings can be directly selected between the rollers and their shafts. Similarly, in the roller-fork coupling, rolling bearings can also be used between the rollers and shafts. Obviously, there is no sliding friction pair in the two-dimensional (2D) axial piston pump, so the restriction of the friction pair on the pump performance and other aspects is completely avoided. The two-dimensional piston pump is also a positive displacement pump in nature, so it also has problems such as cavitation, cylinder tilt, flow pulsation, and noise. In order to eliminate the influence of the gap between the guide rail and the roller on the efficiency of the piston pump and further increase its speed, a stacked-roll two-dimensional(2D) piston pump is proposed. However, the above-mentioned pumps cannot achieve the two performances of eliminating the structural flow pulsation of the pump and offsetting the axial inertial force at the same time, so that the two-dimensional pump still faces a series of challenges under high speed conditions.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to overcome the above problems of the current technology, the present invention provides a shaft-distributed double-acting roller piston pump that simultaneously realizes the elimination of the structural flow pulsation of the pump and the cancellation of the axial inertial force, which also retains the advantages of the two-dimensional piston pump using rolling support instead of sliding support.

Piston assemblies is arranged in the countersunk through holes between the left cylinder block and the right cylinder block. A piston assembly includes a piston, a cylindrical roller, a needle roller and a pin. A piston includes a truss and a piston body connected to the left and right ends of the truss. The truss is provided with pin holes symmetrically left and right, the axis of the pin hole is arranged along the radial direction of the pump casing, a pin shaft is installed in the pin hole, and a roller is installed on the pin shaft. The left and right rollers on the truss are respectively in contact with the space cam surfaces of the left guide rail and that of the right guide rail. The piston bodies at the left and right ends of the truss are respectively arranged in the countersunk through holes of the left cylinder block and that of the right cylinder block.


The plug of the left cylinder block, the countersunkthrough hole of the left cylinder block, and the piston body located at the left end of the piston form a left closed cavity. The plug of the right cylinder block, the countersunk through hole of the right cylinder block, and the piston body located at the right end of the piston form a right closed cavity. The volume of the left closed cavity and that of the right closed cavity changes with the reciprocating motion of the piston. When the piston moves axially from the leftmost end to the rightmost end, the volume of the left closed cavity gradually increases while the volume of the right closed cavity gradually decreases. On the contrary, when the piston moves axially from the rightmost end to the leftmost end, the volume of the right closed cavity gradually increases while the volume of the left closed cavity gradually decreases.


The number of countersunk through holes, oil passages, and rectangular grooves on the left cylinder block are respectively twice the sum of the number of crests and valleys in the constant acceleration and constant deceleration guide rail curve. The number of through-hole flow passages on the flow distribution shaft is equal to the sum of the number of crests and valleys in the constant acceleration and constant deceleration guide rail curve. The number of large windows in each group of rectangular distribution windows is equal to the number of crests in the constant acceleration and constant deceleration guide rail curve, and the number of small windows is equal to the number of valleys in the constant acceleration and constant deceleration guide rail curve.

Further, a plurality of needle rollers or balls are arranged between the pin shaft and the roller.


The advantages of the present invention are: (1) Adopting rolling support instead of sliding support. The transmission mechanism of the pump in the present invention adopts rolling support to replace the oil film support of the traditional axial piston pump. Compared with the traditional axial piston pump, it eliminates the formation of oil film during the starting process of the traditional axial piston pump, can realize fast forward and reverse rotation, and can start under load.


(2) Realizing the balance of axial inertia force of the whole pump. When the traditional axial piston pump rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force and inertial force of the rotating component cannot be ignored, because the centrifugal force and inertial force of the piston-slipper component increase with the quadratic of the rotation speed at this time, resulting in the tilting of the cylinder block. In the present invention, the whole pump is designed symmetrically in structure. Among the eight piston assemblies, two piston assemblies whose circumferential directions differ by 180° are a pair. The two pairs of piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 90° always maintain reverse reciprocating motion under the constraint of the guide rail, so as to achieve the balance of the axial inertial force.


(3) Eliminating the gap between the pump guide rail and the roller. In the present invention, under the action of high-pressure oil and centrifugal force, the wedge blocks press the plane ends and the inclined plane grooves of the left and right guide rails. It stretches the left and right guide rails in the axial direction to make them close to the rollers, thereby eliminating the gap between the guide rails and the rollers.


(4) Theoretically, the structural flow pulsation of the whole pump is eliminated. Traditional axial piston pumps can cause structural flow pulsations due to their limited number of pistons. In the present invention, among the 8 piston assemblies, two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair, and the movements of the two pairs of piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 45° make their corresponding flow phases different by 45°. And because the flow period corresponding to a single piston assembly is 90°, the structural flow pulsation is eliminated and the overall pulsation is reduced.

The backlash compensation between the guide rail and the roller can be realized by using disc spring or spring in addition to hydrostatic support. In addition to the use of guide rails, the transmission mechanism can also be implemented with a swash plate, as long as the number of crests and valleys is twice the number of pistons. In addition, the piston material can also use chromium copper or other composite materials, and the piston surface can also be directly surface treated with chrome plating, DLC, etc. in addition to surface hardening heat treatment.


The working principle of this embodiment:


During operation, the flow distribution shaft 43 rotates under the traction of the high-speed motor, and rotates clockwise when viewed from the right side to the left. The guide rail assembly is driven to rotate synchronously by the square key 44C on the guide rail assembly 44.


One end surface of the guide rail 44A is provided with a space cam curved surface constructed by constant acceleration and constant deceleration curves. The constant acceleration and constant deceleration guide curve has 2 peaks and 2 valleys. Under the constraint of the cylinder assembly 41 and the guide rail assembly 44, the piston assembly 42 performs axial reciprocating linear motion, and the cylindrical roller 42B always rolls on the curved surface of the guide rail 44A. The left and right sides of the piston 42A and the cylinder block 411 both form a closed cavity, and the piston assembly 42 performs an axial reciprocating motion.


The oil enters into the low-pressure flow channel 411A of the pump core assembly 4 from the low-pressure oil inlet 21. Due to the axial reciprocating motion of the piston assembly 42, the volume of the left and right closed cavities changes continuously. The closed cavity with the increased volume communicates with the circular low-pressure flow channel 411A through the oil passage 411E, and the circular low-pressure flow channel 411A communicates with the low-pressure oil inlet 21, and oil is inhaled by the negative pressure.


The oil passage 411E of the closed cavity with reduced volume communicates with the circular high-pressure flow channel to discharge the oil. The oil enters the third annular groove 24 of the pump casing 2 from the circular high-pressure flow channel, and then discharges the oil from the high-pressure oil outlet 22 of the pump casing 2. During one rotation of the motor, a piston assembly sucks and discharges oil 4 times. Among the 8 piston assemblies, two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair, and the motion laws of the two piston assemblies are completely consistent.


The flow distribution principle is shown in FIGS. 12-13(c). Taking 4 adjacent piston assemblies i, j, k and 1 for illustration; taking the left closed cavity for illustration.


Initially, the circumferential rotation angle of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block is 0 degrees. At this time, the piston assembly 1 is at the leftmost end of the stroke, and the volume of the closed cavity it corresponds is the smallest. The piston assembly j is at the far right end of the stroke, and the volume of the closed cavity it corresponds is the largest. At this time, the oil passage e corresponding to the piston assembly i and the oil passage g corresponding to the piston assembly k do not communicate with the distribution window on the flow distribution shaft at all. The oil passage f corresponding to the piston assembly j and the oil passage c corresponding to the piston assembly 1 are in complete communication with the distribution window on the flow distribution shaft.


During the rotation of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block from 0 degrees to 22.5 degrees, the flow distribution shaft and the guide rail assembly rotate clockwise. The piston assembly i moves axially to the right, the piston assembly j moves axially to the left, the piston assembly k moves axially to the left, and the piston assembly 1 moves axially to the right. Furthermore, the volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly i gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage e and the distribution window a gradually communicate until they are completely communicated, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly j gradually decreases, and the corresponding oil passage f and the distribution window d are always in a state of complete communication. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window d, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly k is gradually reduced, and the corresponding oil passage g and the distribution window d are gradually communicated until they are completely communicated. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window d, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly 1 gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage h and the distribution window c are always in a state of complete communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity.


During the rotation of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block from 22.5 degrees to 45 degrees, the piston assembly i continues to move axially to the right, the piston assembly j continues to move axially to the left, and the piston assembly k continues to move axially to the left, and the piston assembly 1 continues to move axially to the right. Furthermore, the volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly i continues to increase, and the corresponding oil passage e and the distribution window a continue to be in complete communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly j gradually decreases, and the communication area between the corresponding oil passage f and the distribution window d gradually decreases from a state of complete communication to a state of no communication at all. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window d, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly k gradually decreases, and the corresponding oil passage g and the distribution window d remain in a state of complete communication. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window d, enters the through-hole flow channel of the distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly lgradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage h and the distribution window c decrease from a state of complete communication to a state of complete non-communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. At this time, the piston assembly i is at the rightmost end of the stroke, and its corresponding closed cavity has the largest volume; the piston assembly k is at the leftmost end of the stroke, and its corresponding closed cavity has the smallest volume.


During the rotation of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block from 45 degrees to 67.5 degrees, the piston assembly i moves axially to the left, the piston assembly j moves axially to the left, the piston assembly k moves axially to the right, and the piston assembly 1 moves axially to the right. Furthermore, the volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly i decreases, and the corresponding oil passage e and the distribution window a maintain a state of complete communication. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window a, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly j gradually decreases, and the corresponding oil passage passage f and the distribution window a gradually begin to communicate until they are completely communicated. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window a, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly k gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage g and the distribution window d remain in a state of complete communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly 1 gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage h and the distribution window d gradually begin to communicate until they are completely communicated, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity.


In the process of rotating of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block from 67.5 degrees to 90 degrees, the piston assembly i continues to move axially to the left, the piston assembly j continues to move axially to the left, the piston assembly k continues to move axially to the right, and the piston assembly 1 continues to move axially to the right. Furthermore, the volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly i continues to decrease, and the corresponding oil passage e and the distribution window a gradually decrease from a state of complete communication to a state of no communication at all. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window a, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly j continues to decrease, and the corresponding oil passage f and the distribution window a maintain a state of complete communication. The oil is pressed out of the left closed cavity through the distribution window a, enters the through-hole flow channel of the flow distribution shaft, and is discharged from the large distribution window on the right side. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly k gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage g and the distribution window d decrease from a state of complete communication to a state of complete non-communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. The volume of the left closed cavity corresponding to the piston assembly 1 gradually increases, and the corresponding oil passage h and the distribution window d continue to be in complete communication, and the oil is sucked into the left closed cavity. At this time, the piston assembly 1 is at the rightmost end of the stroke, and its corresponding closed cavity has the largest volume. The piston assembly j is at the leftmost end of the stroke, and its corresponding closed cavity has the smallest volume.


When the rotation angle of the flow distribution shaft over the left cylinder block reaches 90 degrees, a piston assembly completes a cycle of oil suction and discharge process, and the corresponding working state of the right closed cavity is opposite to that of the left closed cavity. The left and right closed cavities of a piston assembly alternately suck and discharge oil. In a 90-degree cycle, one piston assembly completes one oil suction and discharge, and the whole pump has 8 piston assemblies, so it completes 8 oil suction and discharge. In the process of one rotation of the motor, the whole pump completes 32 times of oil suction and discharge.


Among the 8 piston assemblies, two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair, and the motion patterns of the two piston assemblies are completely consistent.


During the rotation of the motor, the piston assembly i and the piston assembly k always maintain the opposite axial reciprocating motion, and the piston assembly j and the piston assembly 1 always maintain the opposite axial reciprocating motion. In addition, among the eight piston assemblies, two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair, and the motion patterns of the two piston assemblies are completely consistent. Therefore, the two pairs of piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 90° always keep the reverse reciprocating motion under the constraint of the guide rail, thereby realizing the balance of the axial inertial force.


Among the 8 piston assemblies, two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair, and the motion laws of the two piston assemblies are completely consistent. As shown in FIG. 13), the piston assembly j is taken as an example, its circumferential direction differs by 45°, so the phase difference of its flow change curve is 45°. And because the flow change cycle of a single piston assembly is 90 degrees, the flow change curves of the two piston assemblies are superimposed to form a straight line. The whole pump includes 8 piston assemblies, and two piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 180° are a pair. The movement of the two pairs of piston assemblies with a circumferential difference of 45° makes their corresponding flow phases different by 45°. And because the flow period corresponding to a single piston assembly is 90°, the structural flow pulsation is eliminated and the overall pulsation is reduced.
