The floating sleeve (315) is sleeved on the outside of the coupling sleeve (314) and the coupling sleeve (314) is clamped from the outside and installed in the hole of the support sleeve (308). The inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the floating sleeve form inner and outer sliding oil film support through clearance fit with the outer cylindrical surface of the semi-coupling sleeve and the hole of the support sleeve. The piston-cylinder module includes a piston (311), a cylinder (310), a left sealing ring (312), and a right sealing ring (309). A pump cover (102) is installed on the left side of the cylinder (310), and the pump cover (102) and the cylinder (310) are sealed at the end face by a first type of O-ring seal (110). The piston (311) is installed in the inner hole of the cylinder (310) and rotates and reciprocates axially with the cylinder (310). Three pin holes are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the left end face of the cylinder (310) and at the same position on the left inner hole of the first housing (103). Anti-rotation pins (112) are provided in the pin holes. The cylinder body (310) and the first housing (103) are sealed by a fifth type O-ring (321); the left sealing ring (312) is embedded in the left side of the cylinder body (310), and the left side of the left sealing ring (312) contacts the pump cover (102); the right sealing ring (309) is embedded in the right side of the cylinder body (310), and the right side of the right sealing ring (309) is axially fixed by the intermediate cover (313); the left sealing ring (312) and the inner hole of the cylinder body (310) and the right sealing ring (309) and the inner hole of the cylinder body (310) are sealed by a sixth type O-ring (322); During operation, the cam-roller drive module, the coupling between the camshaft and the piston, the support module, and the piston together form a two-dimensional motion component. External power is transmitted through the motor and the main gear and driven gear in the power distribution module to make the two-dimensional motion component rotate and reciprocate, ultimately causing the piston to rotate and reciprocate.
[0007] Furthermore, the double-end-face spatial cam (305) has a "three highs and three lows" structure, and its motion law is three equal accelerations and equal decelerations. Its end face is an equal acceleration and equal deceleration curved surface with axial undulations.
[0008] Furthermore, the double-end-face spatial cam (305) is either "two high and two low" or "four high and four low", which requires corresponding changes to the number of cylindrical rollers installed on the roller holder; a support sleeve is installed in the inner hole of the left roller holder; a needle roller bearing is installed in the inner hole of the right roller holder and connected to the follower gear.
[0009] Furthermore, the camshaft (301) has a central through hole, and a radial through groove is provided on the end face of the camshaft (301) connected to the piston (311). A radial through hole is provided on the half-coupling sleeve, and a shallow groove and a radial through hole are provided on the outer cylindrical surface of the floating sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the right sealing ring (309) divides the internal cavity of the housing module into two parts. The piston-cylinder module on the left contains the working medium, while the second and third housings on the right are filled with lubricating oil, so that the power distribution module and the cam-roller transmission module are both immersed in the lubricating oil. The interior of the third housing serves as the oil tank inside the pump body.
[0011] Furthermore, the cylinder body (310) is provided with two sets of obliquely opened distribution windows (31003) along the axial direction. The positions of the two sets of distribution windows (31003) correspond to the high-pressure flow channel and the low-pressure flow channel, respectively. Each set of distribution windows (31003) includes three distribution windows evenly distributed at 120°, and the two sets of distribution windows are staggered. The cylinder body (310) has two cutting grooves, called low-pressure groove (31001) and high-pressure groove (31002), which communicate with the suction port and discharge port of the first housing (103), respectively. The piston (311) has six uniformly arranged through grooves. The through grooves are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the cross-section is trapezoidal. The positions of the groove openings of the six through grooves are staggered. During operation, the groove openings on the piston communicate with the windows on the cylinder body. The sealed cavity is drawn in when the volume increases and discharged when the volume decreases.
[0012] Furthermore, the first housing (103) and the second housing (106) each have three coaxial flow channel holes, which are connected in series to form the seventh flow channel (507), the eighth flow channel (508), and the ninth flow channel (509) inside the first housing (103) and the tenth flow channel (510), the eleventh flow channel (511), and the twelfth flow channel (512) inside the second housing. The seventh flow channel (507) on the first housing (103) and the tenth flow channel (510) on the second housing (106) are sealed with a second type of O-ring (114); the eighth flow channel (508) on the first housing (103) and the eleventh flow channel (511) on the second housing (106) are sealed with a third type of O-ring (116).
[0013] Furthermore, the double-end-face spatial cam (305) is connected and fixed by two cam half-stop rings (306) mounted on the shoulder of the camshaft (301). The two cam half-stop rings (306) are connected and fixed by two cotter pins (320), so that the cam (305) and the camshaft (301) rotate and reciprocate synchronously.
[0014] Furthermore, the first shell (103) contains three axial flow channels communicating with the second shell (106): the seventh flow channel (507), the eighth flow channel (508), and the ninth flow channel (509). There are also two horizontal flow channels: the first flow channel (501) and the second flow channel (502), which connect to four vertical flow channels: the third flow channel (503), the fourth flow channel (504), the fifth flow channel (505), and the sixth flow channel (506), serving as suction and discharge ports communicating with the hydraulic cylinder. A one-way valve (115) and an overflow valve (116) are installed in the two axial flow channels, the seventh flow channel (507) and the ninth flow channel (509). 101) is used to allow excess working fluid to overflow or flow back into the third housing (201), and to connect the axial flow channels seventh flow channel (507) and ninth flow channel (509) of the overflow valve (101) through the thirteenth flow channel (513) in the vertical direction, and through the axial flow channel eighth flow channel (508) on the first housing (103) and the horizontal flow channel eleventh flow channel (511) on the second housing (106), so that excess working fluid squeezed out from any pressure port can be gathered and flow back into the third housing (201). Flow channels that are not connected to other components are sealed with first-type screw plugs (111) to prevent leakage.
[0015] Furthermore, the third housing (201) has a vertical flow channel, the fourteenth flow channel (514), which is sealed with a second type of screw plug (209).
[0016] Furthermore, the functional modules are set in two or four; when the functional modules are set in four, the fourth housing (601) and the fifth housing (603) are sealed by a third type of housing gasket (602); the fifth housing (603) and the sixth housing (605) are sealed by a fourth type of housing gasket (604).
[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the motor starts, the motor outputs torque, which is transmitted to the piston in the cylinder through gear transmission and a spatial cam-cylindrical roller mechanism. The distribution groove on the piston and the distribution window on the cylinder form a distribution mechanism. When the piston rotates, the volume of the left and right sealed piston chambers changes according to the piston's movement. The increase and decrease in the volume of the left and right sealed piston chambers realize the function of drawing in or discharging the working fluid into the hydraulic cylinder. During operation, the working fluid leaks into the pump casing, causing the pressure inside the pump casing to exceed the opening pressure of the one-way valve. The one-way valve opens, and the oil enters the low-pressure settling groove of the cylinder and is drawn back into the pump. When the pump outlet pressure exceeds the set pressure of the relief valve, the relief valve opens, and the oil flows directly from the high-pressure area back to the pump's suction chamber, realizing unloading protection.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in: 1. In this invention, the initial phases of the two pistons on the pump are complementary, that is, one piston is in its extreme position while the other is in its intermediate position, and the phase difference between the two pistons remains constant. The superposition of the output flow rates of the two pistons essentially eliminates the structural pulsations in pressure and flow. Because the direction of force on the piston is consistent with its direction of movement, its wear is small, resulting in high mechanical efficiency, long service life, and suitability for operation over a wide speed range.
[0019] 2. The piston structure used in the pump of this invention is a cylindrical surface seal, and the flow distribution is achieved by using the flow distribution groove on the piston and the flow distribution window on the cylinder body, resulting in low leakage and the pump can achieve high pressure. In addition, this pump structure can be expanded to four pistons in parallel, which can achieve a larger displacement.
[0020] 3. This invention designs a parallel combined two-dimensional electric hydraulic pump for EHA (Electronic Hydraulic Acid) systems. It utilizes the two-dimensional piston transmission principle to achieve oil suction and discharge functions, and distributes the flow through piston distribution channels. The structure is compact and easy to disassemble. Due to the good dynamic characteristics of the piston transmission mechanism over a wide speed range, the pump has good output performance, low heat generation, and a high power-to-weight ratio, enabling high-pressure output and providing effective power to the EHA. Changing the motor's rotation direction changes the suction and discharge ports, making it suitable for connecting to double-rod hydraulic cylinders. Attached Figure Description

The distribution groove on the piston 311 and the distribution window on the cylinder 310 form a distribution mechanism. When the piston 311 rotates, the volume of the left and right sealed piston chambers changes with the movement law of the piston 311. The volume of the left and right sealed piston chambers increases and decreases, realizing the function of sucking in or discharging the working fluid into the hydraulic cylinder. When the piston 311 stops moving, that is, the combined pump cannot pump the working fluid into the hydraulic cylinder. At this time, the pump is still working and continuously sucking in. The pumped working fluid flows through the seventh flow channel 507, the eighth flow channel 508, and the ninth flow channel 509, through the one-way valve 115 and the overflow valve 101, and returns to the pump's suction port, keeping the pump in working condition, protecting the pump and the motor, and realizing unloading protection.
