[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydraulic transmission, and in particular to a swash plate type variable displacement plunger pump or a swash plate type variable displacement plunger motor. Background Art

[0002] In hydraulic transmission and control technology, swash plate variable displacement piston pumps and motors are two important hydraulic components, widely used in engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, ships, aircraft, industrial automation and other fields. They achieve continuous adjustment of displacement by changing the inclination angle of the swash plate, thereby meeting the different flow and pressure requirements of the system.

[0003] In order to prevent the center position of the swash plate from being unexpectedly offset due to external force, a common practice is to set a circumferential limit structure between the servo cylinder and the housing to limit the rotation of the servo cylinder relative to the housing under the action of external force. However, the circumferential limit structure in the prior art is complicated to install, and the product processing technology is complicated and the cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] case;

[0010] The positioning structure comprises: a positioning piece extending from the outer side of the housing, and a positioning recess pressed out by the positioning piece on the servo oil cylinder, wherein the positioning piece is inserted into the positioning recess to prevent the servo oil cylinder from rotating.

[0011] Optionally, the servo cylinder is threadedly connected to the housing, and after the servo cylinder is screwed to set the middle position of the swash plate, the positioning member presses out of the positioning recess.

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a swash plate type variable displacement piston pump or a swash plate type variable displacement piston motor, including a housing 1, a swash plate 5, a servo mechanism and a positioning structure.

[0032] The servo mechanism includes a servo cylinder 2 and a servo piston 3. Two servo cylinders 2 are provided. The two servo cylinders 2 are located on opposite sides of the housing 1 and are connected to the housing 1 through a threaded structure. In the assembled state, the servo cylinder 2 extends into the interior of the housing 1. In addition, a cylinder hole is provided on the side of the servo cylinder 2 facing the inner cavity of the housing 1. The servo piston 3 includes a piston rod and two piston heads respectively located at both ends of the piston rod, wherein the two piston heads respectively extend into the cylinder holes of the two servo cylinders 2 and can reciprocate in the cylinder holes along the axial direction of the servo cylinder 2. A spring is provided between the piston heads, and the spring is pressed between the two piston heads through a spring base 4. When the swash plate is in the middle position on the test bench or during the installation process, the servo cylinder is screwed to a position where its end face fits the spring base 4. If a slight deviation is found in the middle position of the swash plate, it can be adjusted by screwing the servo cylinder 2.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 Taking the case where the middle swash plate 5 needs to be adjusted to the left as an example, the centering process of the swash plate 5 is explained as follows: the servo cylinder 2 on the right side of the figure is screwed into the housing 1, and the servo cylinder 2 on the right side of the figure is used to push the corresponding spring base 4 to move to the left, thereby separating the spring base 4 from the piston head, thereby destroying the force balance of the servo piston 3, and causing the servo piston 3 to move to the left until the right piston head abuts against the spring base 4 again. As the servo piston 3 moves to the left, the left spring head will separate from the spring base 4 (because the spring base 4 is held in place by the servo cylinder 4). At this time, the servo cylinder 2 on the left side needs to be screwed to the left as well, so that the end face of the servo cylinder 2 moves to the left the same distance as the left piston head, until the end faces of the servo cylinders 2 on both sides are in contact with the spring base 4. Since the swash plate 5 is connected to the servo piston 3, the swash plate 5 will move to the left as the servo piston 3 moves to the left, and the centering adjustment of the swash plate 5 is achieved by adjusting the servo cylinder 2.

[0034] After adjusting the middle position of the swash plate 5, since the pre-tightening torque of the servo cylinder is only within the set range, this torque is only to resist the friction force when the sealing ring is screwed in and the friction force of the thread pair, which is very small compared to the conventional thread pre-tightening torque, so it can be considered that the thread of the servo cylinder is in an unpre-tightened state, and additional thread anti-loosening means are required to ensure that the servo cylinder does not screw out of the hole when the pump is working. If the servo oil cylinder 2 rotates relative to the housing 1, it will directly affect the position of the swash plate 5, making it unable to maintain the middle position, resulting in output flow / outlet pressure difference when the pump motor is in the "middle position", causing the actuator (if the hydraulic device is a pump, the actuator can be a motor or oil cylinder; if the hydraulic device is a motor, the actuator can be an external actuator) to malfunction, unable to fully realize the stop function or cause a safety accident. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, a positioning structure is provided between the servo cylinder 2 and the housing 1, and the positioning structure includes a positioning member 7 and a positioning recess 8. A positioning hole 6 is provided on the housing 1, and the positioning member 7 is inserted into the positioning hole 6 and connected to the housing 1, and the positioning recess 8 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the servo cylinder 2. When the servo cylinder 2 needs to be adjusted to the middle position, while rotating the servo cylinder 2, the position of the positioning recess 8 is observed through the positioning hole 6, until the positions of the positioning hole 6 and the positioning recess 8 are aligned, and then the rotation of the servo cylinder 2 is stopped. At this time, the servo cylinder 2 and the swash plate 5 are in the middle position. When the servo cylinder 2 is in the middle position, the positioning member 7 extends from the outside of the housing 1 into the positioning hole 6 and is inserted into the positioning recess 8, thereby limiting the rotation of the servo cylinder 2 relative to the housing 1, and locking the middle position of the servo cylinder 2 and the swash plate 5. In this way, the servo cylinder 2 can be adjusted to the middle position through the positioning structure, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is conducive to cost saving.

[0035] It should be noted that the positioning recess 8 can be formed integrally with the servo cylinder 2, or can be a structure that is separately processed on the formed servo cylinder 2. Here, preferably, the positioning recess 8 is set as a pit pressed out by the positioning member 7 on the servo cylinder 2 during initial assembly. The depth of the positioning recess 8 is set to 0.1-1 mm, preferably 0.3-0.5 mm.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, the positioning member 7 includes a tip 71, a threaded portion 72 and an operating portion 73 in the axial direction, and the tip 71 and the operating portion 73 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the threaded portion 72. Among them, the cross-sectional area of ​​the tip 71 gradually decreases in the direction away from the operating portion 73. For example, the shape of the tip 71 is set to a hemispherical, truncated cone, conical or other structure, and the material hardness of the tip 71 is greater than the material hardness of the servo cylinder 2. For example, the servo cylinder 2 is set to QT-405 material (it can also be gray iron or steel material), and the tip 71 (i.e., the positioning member 7) is set to a steel material with higher hardness or other hard materials. The operating portion 73 can be screwed by a tool. For example, the end surface of the threaded portion 72 away from the tip 71 is provided with a groove (the shape of the groove can be set to be a straight or hexagonal shape) to form the above-mentioned operating portion 73. The positioning hole 6 on the housing 1 is set to a threaded hole and matches the threaded portion 72, so that the positioning member 7 can be screwed into the positioning hole 6. During the initial assembly and positioning, keep the servo cylinder 2 in the middle position, use a tool to screw the operating part 73, and then drive the entire positioning member 7 (the tip 71, the threaded part 72 and the operating part 73) to rotate in the positioning hole 6. Since the threaded part 72 and the positioning hole 6 are threadedly matched, the tip 71 can be close to and abut the outer peripheral surface of the servo cylinder 2; continue to screw the operating part 73, the tip 71 is gradually pressed into the surface of the servo cylinder 2, and a positioning recess 8 is pressed out on the outer peripheral surface of the servo cylinder 2. Later, during the maintenance process, the servo cylinder 2 can be adjusted to the middle position again through the pressed positioning recess 8.

[0037] The extending direction of the positioning hole 6 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the servo oil cylinder 2, so that the positioning member 7 can be gradually inserted into the positioning recess 8 along the radial direction of the servo oil cylinder 2, which can ensure the force balance of the servo oil cylinder 2. In addition, the outer diameter of the positioning member 7 is set to 4-12 mm, that is, the outer diameter of the positioning hole 6 is set to 4-12 mm, which can ensure both the connection strength of the positioning member 7 and the structural strength of the housing 1.

[0038] Based on the structure of the positioning member 7, as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the positioning member 7 in this solution is preferably set as a set screw, and the selection of the set screw is M4-M12, and M6 is preferred here. Since the set screw is an existing component, no additional processing is required, so that in this design, only a threaded hole needs to be processed at a corresponding position on the housing 1 to cooperate with the set screw, which is simple in structure and conducive to cost saving.

[0039] In another scheme, if Figure 7As shown, the positioning structure may also include a connector 9. When positioning, the connector 9 is connected to the positioning hole 6 on the housing 1. For example, the connector 9 is connected to the positioning hole 6 by a threaded structure. At the same time, the connector 9 limits the positioning member 7 in the positioning hole 6 and the positioning recess 8. Since the positioning member 7 is located in both the housing 1 and the servo cylinder 2, the rotation of the servo cylinder 2 relative to the housing 1 can be limited. The difference between this solution and the above-mentioned set screw solution is that the set screw is an integrated structure, which can be connected to the positioning hole 6 on the housing 1 and can be inserted into the positioning recess 8 of the servo cylinder 2, and has both connection and positioning functions; while in this solution, the connector 9 is only used to connect to the positioning hole 6 of the housing 1, and the positioning member 7 is only used to insert into the positioning hole 6 and the positioning recess 8. The connector 9 and the positioning member 7 have the two functions of connection and positioning, respectively.
