Definitions

  • the invention is based on an adjustable hydrostatic pump according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the noise level increases with the falling rigidity of the hydraulic clamping of the cam ring and is caused by the parts of the engine forces acting in the direction of the adjustment. Depending on the rigidity of the clamping, this leads to a more or less strong deflection of the entire engine in time with the pistons entering and exiting the pressure chamber of the pump. The noises that occur here can interfere in some applications where particularly quiet operation is desired.
  • Comparable conditions as with the radial piston pump exist with the axial piston pump, in which the adjusting element is designed as a swash plate, and with a vane pump, which also has a lifting ring as adjusting element.
  • Additional control device for active noise damping can be realized with purely hydromechanical functional elements, whereby a relatively simple, space-saving and inexpensive construction is possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a right-handed radial piston pump
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the radial piston pump according to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a diagram which shows the engine force in the adjustment direction as a function of the angle of rotation in a highly simplified representation
  • FIG -IV in Figure 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows in connection with FIG. 2 a radial piston pump 10, the housing 11 of which is closed on one side by a cover 12.
  • a central, continuous longitudinal bore 13 is formed in the housing 11 and an adjoining cylindrical recess 14.
  • a rotor 16 is slidably mounted, in which a plurality of radially extending cylinder bores 17 are formed, in which the working pistons 18 slide.
  • These working pistons 18 are connected in an articulated manner to slide shoes 19, which are supported with their slide shoe soles on the inner surface 21 of a cylindrical cam ring 22, which is adjustably arranged in the housing recess 14 is. Due to the eccentric position of the lifting ring 22 serving as the adjusting member, as can be seen in FIG. 1, the working pistons are given 18 lifting movements.
  • Retaining rings 23, 24 are provided for capturing the sliding shoes 19 on the lifting ring 22.
  • two control slots 25, 26 are formed in the plane of the piston bores 17, which have longitudinal channels 27, 28 and openings, also formed in the control pin 15, of which only the upper opening 29 is shown in FIG. 2, with radially extending in the housing 11 , outwardly penetrating channels are connected, which are designed here as suction channel 31 and pressure channel 32.
  • the webs located between the control slots 25, 26 are designated 33, 34, at which the dead centers for the rotary movement are located.
  • the radial piston pump 10 is designed with a hydraulic lifting ring adjustment, which has a purely hydromechanical adjusting device 35.
  • two different-sized actuating pistons are arranged in the housing 11, which act on the outer circumference of the cam ring 22 at two diametrically opposite points.
  • the smaller actuating piston 36 is always acted upon from the high pressure side 32 in a manner known per se via a channel 38.
  • the larger control piston 37 delimits a pressure chamber 39, which is shut off by a pressure regulator 41 flanged to the housing 11 from its regulating slide 42, connected to the high-pressure side 32 or for
  • Low pressure side 31 is relieved, as is known per se in radial piston pumps with hydraulic cam ring adjustment.
  • the rotor 16 designed here as a cylindrical star is driven via a universal joint coupling 43 by a drive shaft 44 which is mounted in the cover 12 in a double ball bearing 45.
  • the radial piston pump 10 has an additional control device 47 for active noise damping, which is connected in a control connection 48 which leads from the pressure chamber 39 of the large adjusting piston 37 to a return in the housing 11 is.
  • This control connection 48 is shown in FIG. 1 partially and in simplified form as line 49, which starts from the pressure chamber 39 of the adjusting piston 37 and leads to an axial channel 51 in the control pin 15.
  • This line 49 runs in a manner not shown in the housing 11 and is connected to the axial channel 51 via an annular groove 52 in the housing 11, as is shown in more detail in FIG.
  • this axial channel 51 is shown rotated in the drawing plane in FIG.
  • a radial throttle bore 53 runs from this axial channel 51 into the lateral surface of the control pin 15 in the section on which the cylindrical star 16 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 2 in connection with the partial section according to FIG. 4, there are in the cylindrical star 16 on its cylindrical inner wall 54
  • Control grooves 55 are formed, which cooperate with the throttle bore 53 and form the additional control device 47. These axially extending control grooves 55 are open towards an end face of the cylinder star 16 on the drive side, so that a connection to the return in the housing 11 is thus created. Each working piston 18 is assigned two of these control grooves 55, each of which is at the best angular distance from the working piston whose force jump is to be compensated for. Like the figure 4 shows in simplified form, the throttle bore 53 is closed outside the angular range of the control grooves 55 by the inner wall 54 of the cylindrical star 16. Corresponding to the seven working pistons 18 present in the cylinder star 16, a total of fourteen control grooves 55 are thus arranged in the inner wall 54.
  • the mode of operation of the adjustable radial piston pump 10 is explained as follows, its basic function with the adjustment of the lifting ring 22 by the hydromechanical adjusting device 35 being assumed to be known per se.
  • the stroke ring 22 is raised to the left via the adjusting device 35.
  • the cam ring 22 is supported on the large actuating piston 37 due to the centering engine forces. Every time one of the working pistons 18 dips into or emerges from the high-pressure side at the control slot 26, the supporting force F s on the large actuating piston 37 experiences a jump of one
  • Piston force down This can be illustrated with the aid of FIG. 1, when the working piston 18 'exceeds the dead center 56 during its clockwise rotation and thereby passes into its pressure stroke, a pressure or force increase occurs over the angle of rotation, which corresponds approximately to the pilot groove 57, which is supported by the sliding block on the lifting ring. A component of this support force when plunging the piston 18 'into the high-pressure side presses the cam ring 22 to the left in the drawing according to FIG. 1 and thereby relieves the large one
  • FIG. 3 shows a greatly simplified and purely schematic force curve in order to show the relationships in a previously known pump without the device according to the invention. If the first force jump 58 is assigned to the piston 18 'in FIG. 3, the subsequent force jump 59 in this characteristic curve arises from the fact that the working piston 18 "emerges from the high-pressure side of the control slot 26.
  • the additional control device 47 is integrated with the help of the throttle bore 53 in the control pin 15 and the control grooves 55 in the rotor 16, because in this way the required relative movement and synchronization are already provided. If the force jump when immersing the working piston 18 'in the high pressure side 26 58 occurs on the large actuating piston 37, this is counteracted by the fact that the additional control device 47 reduces the pressure in the pressure chamber 39 via the control connection 48 in time for the return flow, so as to reduce the effect of the force jump 58.
  • the additional control device 47 when the working piston 18 "emerges from the high-pressure side 26, the additional control device 47 also opens a control cross section for the return and the pressure in the actuating cylinder 39 is reduced, in order to reduce the effect of the force jump 59
  • the operation of the additional control device 47 is adapted to the hydraulic stroke adjustment in such a way that, despite the delays caused by the hydromechanical adjusting device, there is a temporal collision of the force jump from the engine and Counteraction on the actuating piston 37 is ensured.
  • the radial piston pump 10 can also be equipped with a combined pressure / current regulator instead of the pressure regulator 41. Furthermore, the radial piston pump 10 can also be equipped with a combined pressure / current regulator instead of the pressure regulator 41. Furthermore, the radial piston pump 10 can also be equipped with a combined pressure / current regulator instead of the pressure regulator 41. Furthermore, the radial piston pump 10 can also be equipped with a combined pressure / current regulator instead of the pressure regulator 41. Furthermore, the
  • the radial piston pump 10 Equip with other hydromechanical adjustment devices and operate with other directions of rotation. In other types of radial piston pump, it may be necessary that the Additional control device controls a pressure increase in the pressure chamber of the actuating piston, thus not connecting the control connection to the return, but to a high-pressure side.
  • this type of active noise damping can also be transferred to axial piston pumps with a swashplate design, the additional control device being integrated into the cylinder drum and the associated control disk.
  • the noise damping can also be used in a vane pump, in which there is a comparable cam ring adjustment as in the radial piston pump. In all of these cases, by incorporating already existing functional elements, a noticeable reduction in noise can be achieved with a relatively small additional effort.
