Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of plunger pumps, and in particular to a swash plate support structure of a swash plate type plunger pump. Background Art

[0002] As an important device in the hydraulic system, the plunger pump is widely used in engineering machinery, aerospace and other fields. The swash plate is a key component in the plunger pump. Its supporting background involves many aspects such as the working principle of the plunger pump, the structure of the swash plate and its function.

[0003] The support mode of the swash plate is crucial to the performance and stability of the plunger pump. Common swash plate support modes include direct fixed support, sliding bearing support and rolling support. Direct fixed support is mainly used for constant inclination pumps. The swash plate can be directly fixed on the pump housing or pump cover, and cylindrical pins are used to prevent it from rotating. This support mode has a simple structure, but poor adjustment flexibility. The form of sliding bearing support is more commonly used in non-coaxial industrial swash plate pumps, but they require a large adjustment torque when the variable is variable, and are not suitable for occasions where the flow rate needs to be changed frequently. Rolling support has the advantages of compact structure and more sensitive response, small control dead zone and hysteresis, and can adapt to both horizontal and vertical arrangements of variable cylinders. This support mode has been most widely used in today's engineering machinery and aerospace fields, but its structure is usually non-standard special-shaped bearings, the positioning effect of the swash plate is not ideal, and the processing difficulty and processing cost are high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below according to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, and the purpose and effect of the present invention will become more clear. The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a swash plate support structure of a swash plate type piston pump includes: a housing 1, a retaining ring 2, an adjusting washer 3, and a rolling bearing 5.

[0033] The housing 1 includes: a bearing mounting hole 101, a retaining ring groove 102, a semicircular notch 103, and a bearing seat 104. Two coaxial bearing seats 104 are integrated on the mounting section of the housing 1 and the plunger pump. This integrated structural design reduces the assembly error of the parts on the one hand, and improves the working stability of the plunger pump on the other hand. A bearing mounting hole 101 is provided at the axis of the bearing seat 104, and a retaining ring groove 102 is provided in the bearing mounting hole 101 for installing a retaining ring 2; the retaining ring 2 is preferably an elastic retaining ring for a hole, and its structure is a notched ring. The rolling bearing 5 is installed in the bearing mounting hole 101, and the two are clearance-fitted, and the rolling bearing 5 is limited by the retaining ring 2. The outer cylindrical shaft 402 fixedly connected at both radial ends of the swash plate 4 is respectively installed in the inner ring holes of the two rolling bearings 5, and is fixedly connected with them by interference fit. The adjusting washer 3 is installed between the swash plate 4 and the rolling bearing 5 and is pressed and fixed by the two, and is used to adjust the play clearance between the swash plate 4 and the rolling bearing 5 to prevent the swash plate 4 from radial movement.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the rolling bearing 5 is a split structure, including a bearing outer ring 501, a cylindrical roller 502, and a bearing inner ring 503, which are coaxially arranged from outside to inside. There are multiple cylindrical rollers 502, which are arranged in full rows along the circumferential direction between the bearing outer ring 501 and the bearing inner ring 503, and no cage is provided to ensure that a large load can be borne.

[0035] An annular rib 50102 is provided on one side edge of the inner hole wall of the bearing outer ring 501 to limit the axial position of the cylindrical roller 502, and a tool withdrawal groove 50101 is provided at the angle between the rib 50102 and the inner hole of the bearing outer ring 501 to facilitate grinding of the inner hole of the bearing outer ring 501 during fine machining and avoid interference with the cylindrical roller 502 at the angle.

[0036] A second annular rib 50301 is provided on one side edge of the outer circumferential surface of the bearing inner ring 503 to limit the axial position of the cylindrical roller 502, and a second tool withdrawal groove 50302 is provided at the angle between the second rib 50301 and the outer circumferential surface of the bearing inner ring 503 to facilitate the grinding of the outer circle of the bearing inner ring 503 during fine machining and avoid interference with the cylindrical roller 502 at the angle.

[0037] During assembly, the side of the bearing outer ring 501 provided with the first rib 50102 and the side of the bearing inner ring 503 provided with the second rib 50301 are both located outside the rolling bearing 5, and the cylindrical roller 502 is axially limited from two directions.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the swash plate 4 includes, in addition to the outer cylindrical shaft 402 fixedly connected to the radial ends of the swash plate 4, a third undercut groove 401. The third undercut groove 401 is provided at the angle between the outer cylindrical shaft 402 and the end surface of the main structure of the swash plate 4 to facilitate grinding of the outer cylindrical shaft 402 during fine machining and avoid interference between the bearing inner ring 503 and the swash plate 4 at the angle.

[0039] The following describes the assembly process of the swash plate 4 and the swash plate support structure of the swash plate type plunger pump, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0040] (1) First, measure the distance H1 between the two retaining ring grooves 102 on the housing 1, the distance H2 between the outer cylindrical shafts 402 at both ends of the swash plate 4, and the sum of the thicknesses H3 and H4 of the corresponding retaining rings 2 of the two rolling bearings 5, and then calculate H max =(H1-H2-H3-H4-0.1) / 2, H min =(H1-H2-H3-H4-0.2) / 2, the thickness range of the adjusting gasket 3 is [H min ,H max ].

[0041] Two sets of adjusting washers 3 are respectively selected and arranged on the outer cylindrical shafts 402 at the left and right ends of the swash plate 4. Each set includes a plurality of adjusting washers 3. The number of superimposed washers is selected according to the actual situation to adapt to different clearances between the swash plate 4 and the rolling bearing 5. The thickness of the two sets is H m , H n , and satisfies H max ≥H m ≥H min , H max ≥H n ≥H min ; m = 1, 2, ..., M, n = 1, 2, ..., N, M is the total number of adjusting washers 3 included in one group, and N is the total number of adjusting washers 3 included in the other group. According to actual conditions, the total thickness difference of the adjusting washers 3 respectively superimposed on the outer cylindrical shafts 402 at both ends of the swash plate 4 cannot exceed 0.02 mm. In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the measured values ​​are H1 = 120 mm, H2 = 93 mm, H3 = H4 = 13.4 mm, and the calculated values ​​are H max =0.05mm, H min =0.

[0042] (2) First, the two selected sets of adjustment washers 3 are respectively mounted on the outer cylindrical shafts 402 at both ends of the swash plate 4, and then the two bearing inner rings 503 are respectively pressed onto the outer cylindrical shafts 402 of the swash plate 4 until the adjustment washers 3 are tightened and the retaining edge 50301 of the bearing inner ring 503 of the rolling bearing 5 is ensured to face the axial direction of the housing 1.

[0043] (3) The swash plate 4 equipped with the bearing inner ring 503 is fixed in the bearing mounting hole 101 using a tool, and then the bearing outer rings 501 and cylindrical rollers 502 of the two rolling bearings 5 ​​are respectively installed in the bearing mounting hole 101 from both ends of the bearing seat 104 to achieve interference fit.

[0044] (4) Install two retaining rings 2 in the retaining ring grooves 102 on the bearing seat 104 from both ends of the bearing seat 104 to limit the rolling bearing 5.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, after the swash plate 4 is assembled on the supporting structure, it is mainly subjected to three loads F, F1, and F2 from top to bottom (active loads), and the supporting forces F3 and F4 (passive loads) of the rolling bearing 3 on the swash plate 4 from bottom to top. It can be seen that the load position on the housing is mainly the lower semicircular arc on the bearing seat 104 corresponding to the semicircular notch 103. Based on this force analysis, a semicircular notch 103 can be milled on the upper end of the side of the bearing seat 104 close to the axis of the shaft housing 1 to facilitate the installation of the swash plate 4 and reduce the weight.

[0046] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above are only preferred examples of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Although the invention is described in detail with reference to the above examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above examples or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the invention shall be included in the protection scope of the invention.
