Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic piston pump technology, and specifically to a piston pump support structure. Background Technology

[0002] The swashplate is a crucial component in swashplate-type axial variable displacement piston pumps, playing a vital role in both open and closed piston pumps. Its main functions are twofold: firstly, to support the entire hydraulic cylinder and piston working mechanism; and secondly, to change the swashplate's angle within the pump by rotating around the common axis of its two semicircles, thereby altering the piston's stroke length within the hydraulic cylinder and ultimately varying the pump's output flow rate, thus achieving variable displacement.

[0003] Traditional plunger pumps have a swashplate structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pump body structure assembled with the swashplate is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the overall structure of the plunger pump is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, in a piston pump, the piston and slipper are connected together by a spherical clamping connection. The pressure in the hydraulic cylinder acts on the piston end face, pressing the slipper against the surface of the swashplate 1. The surface of the swashplate 1 supports the slipper. When the swing angle of the swashplate 1 changes, the stroke of the slipper pushing the piston in the hydraulic cylinder changes, thus achieving variable displacement of the piston pump. The traditional swashplate 1 is designed with two semicircular arcs 2. Therefore, the pump body 3, which is installed with it, must also be designed and machined with two semicircular arcs 2 with the same basic diameter as the semicircular arcs of the swashplate 1. This allows the swashplate 1 to rotate and swing flexibly around the center of the arcs 2 when installed in the pump body 3, thus achieving variable displacement of the piston pump.

[0004] To ensure the flexibility of the swashplate's rotation around its arc axis, higher requirements are placed on the smoothness of the swashplate's left and right sides, as well as the roundness and coaxiality of the left and right arcs within the pump body. For the swashplate, the high requirements for roundness and coaxiality of the left and right arcs can be solved in a single machining operation. However, for the pump body, due to the limitations of its complex internal shape, machining an arc with the required roundness, coaxiality, and appropriate diameter within the pump body is technically challenging. Currently, the only solution in the industry is to use a double-arc power groove cutter head. This cutter needs to be custom-made, and the diameter of the arc machined by the custom-made cutter is fixed and cannot be adjusted. This means that the custom-made cutter can only machine a pump body with a swashplate diameter matching only, resulting in low utilization and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the existing plunger pump swashplate is designed with a two-half-circular arc structure, which results in poor machinability of the pump body, high cost of custom cutting tools, and long development cycle.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is to provide a plunger pump support structure, including a swashplate and a pump body. Cylindrical platforms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the swashplate. The swashplate is located in the pump body. The pump body is provided with two bearing holes for mounting the cylindrical platforms. A needle roller bearing is provided between the cylindrical platforms and the bearing holes.

[0007] Optionally, one of the bearing holes is a blind hole located inside the pump body, and the other bearing hole is a second through hole penetrating the side wall of the pump body. A bearing seat is provided on the second through hole, and the needle roller bearing is disposed in the bearing seat.

[0008] Optionally, the bearing housing is connected to the pump body by screws, and an O-ring is provided between the bearing housing and the pump body.

[0009] Optionally, the swash plate has a recess in the middle, the bottom of the recess is a plane, and a first through hole is provided in the middle of the plane.

[0010] In summary, the plunger pump support structure provided by this utility model is simpler than the traditional swashplate structure, eliminating the two semi-circular arc structures and replacing them with two simple cylindrical surfaces, which greatly optimizes the processing difficulty and manufacturing cost. At the same time, it thoroughly improves the machinability of the pump body that is installed with it, reduces tooling costs, reduces R&D investment, and shortens the product development cycle, thus playing a positive role in promoting the application of plunger pumps.
