The invention discloses a digital axial
plunger pump / motor, and belongs to the field of hydraulic elements. The device comprises a fixed cylinder body, a transmission shaft, an inner ring
swash plate, an outer ring
swash plate and a
plunger assembly, the cylinder body is provided with double rows of
plunger cavities, and the transmission shaft is supported in the center of the cylinder body through a bearing. The inner ring
swash plate and the outer ring swash plate are rigidly connected with the shaft, working face contours of the swash plates are symmetrical curved surfaces and provided with guide grooves, the plungers are arranged in plunger cavities, reset springs are arranged at the front ends of the plungers, guide balls are arranged at the
tail ends of the plungers, and the guide balls are in rolling contact with the swash plate guide grooves. When the pump is used, the transmission shaft drives the swash plate to rotate, the plunger moves linearly in a reciprocating mode through the curved surface profile, and the single plunger completes two times of oil
discharge and two times of oil suction every time the swash plate rotates by a circle. When used as a motor, the digital valve
system controls high-pressure oil to enter the plunger cavities to push the plungers, the balls roll along the curved surface of the swash plate to convert
linear motion into
continuous rotation of the swash plate and the transmission shaft, the single plunger completes two times of oil inlet and two times of oil return every time the single plunger rotates, and efficient conversion is achieved.
