- Each of the springs 27 is inserted into each of the spool holes 12b in a compressed state. More specifically, the spring 27 is disposed on one side of the spool 26 in the axial direction in the spool hole 12b. The spring 27 urges the spool 26 toward a swash plate rotating shaft 28, which will be described later.
- the swash plate rotating shaft 28 rotates in conjunction with the rotating swash plate 13. Further, the swash plate rotating shaft 28 causes each of the spools 26 to reciprocate by rotating. Thereby, the swash plate rotating shaft 28 causes the spool 26 to open and close between the cylinder bore 12a and the tank 30. Here, the swash plate rotating shaft 28 causes the spool 26 to open and close the communication path 12d. Further, the swash plate rotating shaft 28 can change the opening and closing positions of each of the spools 26. The opening and closing positions of the spool 26 are a position where the spool 26 begins to open the communication path 12d and a position where the spool 26 closes the communication path 12d.
- the swash plate rotation shaft 28 has a swash plate rotation shaft side inclined surface 28a.
- the swash plate rotating shaft 28 is inserted into the shaft insertion hole 12e of the cylinder block 12 and extends along the axis L1.
- One axial end side portion of the swash plate rotating shaft 28 protrudes toward the rotating swash plate 13 from the shaft insertion hole 12e.
- One axial end portion of the swash plate rotating shaft 28 is connected to the rotating swash plate 13 so as not to be relatively rotatable. Therefore, the swash plate rotating shaft 28 rotates around the axis L1 in conjunction with the rotating swash plate 13.

- the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a is inclined about a second orthogonal axis L3 parallel to the first orthogonal axis L2.
- the second orthogonal axis L3 is also an axis orthogonal to the axis L1.
- the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a is inclined in the same direction as the rotating swash plate side inclined surface 13a, and the tilt angle is fixed.
- the other end of the spool 26 in the axial direction, which is biased by the spring 27, is in contact with the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a.
- the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a slides and rotates with respect to the spool 26. Therefore, when the swash plate rotation shaft 28 rotates, the spool 26 reciprocates in the spool hole 12b with a stroke corresponding to the inclination angle of the swash plate rotation shaft side inclined surface 28a.
- the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a can move forward and backward in the axial direction.

- the dead center position (more specifically, the axial position of the dead center) of the spool 26 in the cylinder bore 12a can be changed.
- the dead center position of the spool 26 in the cylinder bore 12a shifts to one side in the axial direction.
- the dead center position of the spool 26 in the cylinder bore 12a shifts to the other axial direction. Therefore, the opening/closing position of the spool 26 in the cylinder bore 12a can be shifted in the axial direction.
- the effective stroke length S of the piston 21 is a stroke range that allows the hydraulic fluid to be discharged from the cylinder bore 12a. Therefore, by shifting the opening/closing position of the spool 26 in the axial direction, the effective stroke length S of the piston 21 can be changed. Therefore, by moving the swash plate rotating shaft side inclined surface 28a back and forth in the axial direction, the discharge capacity in the cylinder bore 12a can be changed.

- the valve body 16b has an umbrella portion 16f and a valve stem portion 16g.
- the valve body 16b is a poppet type valve body.
- the valve body 16b is seated on the valve seat 16d, and is separated from the valve seat 16d toward the piston 21. Thereby, the valve body 16b opens and closes between the suction passage 19 and the cylinder bore 12a.
- the valve body 16b protrudes from the suction side port 12j in the other axial direction.
- the umbrella portion 16f is formed on the cylinder bore 12a side of the valve body 16b.

- the valve stem portion 16g is inserted through the sleeve 16a and extends in the other axial direction from the umbrella portion 16f.
- the spring 16c biases the valve body 16b so that the valve body 16b is seated on the valve seat 16d. More specifically, the spring 16c urges the valve body 16b to resist the pressure of the hydraulic fluid introduced from the suction passage 19 into the suction check valve 16 (more specifically, the sleeve 16a). Therefore, the suction check valve 16 opens between the cylinder bore 12a and the suction passage 19 during the suction stroke when the piston 21 moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, and opens the gap between the cylinder bore 12a and the suction passage 19 during the discharge stroke. close.
- the spring 16c is arranged upstream of the valve seat 16d. To explain in more detail, the spring 16c is disposed on the other side of the valve body 16b in the axial direction (the part protruding from the suction side port 12j).
- Each of the discharge check valves 17 shown in FIG. 1 allows hydraulic fluid to flow in one direction from the cylinder bore 12a to the discharge port 20c, and prevents flow in the opposite direction.
- Each discharge check valve 17 is provided for each cylinder bore 12a. That is, in this embodiment, the number of discharge check valves 17 is the same as that of the cylinder bores 12a, that is, there are nine discharge check valves.
- the discharge check valve 17 is arranged radially outward of the suction check valve 16 when viewed in the axial direction. More specifically, the radially outermost portion of the valve body 17a of the discharge check valve 17 is located outside the radially outermost portion of the valve body 16b of the suction check valve 16.

- the discharge passage 20 can be opened and closed with the discharge check valve 17 at a position away from the annular portion 20b. Therefore, the opening/closing operation of the discharge check valve 17 is suppressed from being influenced by the hydraulic fluid introduced into the annular portion 20b from another cylinder bore 12a.
- the discharge check valve 17 has a valve body 17a as shown in FIG.
- the valve body 17a is seated on a valve seat 20d located at the branch portion 20a.

- the valve body 17a has an inner passage 17b.
- the valve body 17a guides the downstream pressure of the valve body 17a to the back pressure chamber 17d through the inner passage 17b. Thereby, the longitudinal pressure of the valve body 17a acts on the valve body 17a. Therefore, the valve body 17a separates from the valve seat 20d during the discharge process. Then, the discharge passage 20 (more specifically, the branch portion 20a) is opened.
- each piston 21 reciprocates in the cylinder bore 12a accordingly. Thereby, each piston 21 sucks the working fluid from the suction passage 19 into the cylinder bore 12a via the suction check valve 16 during the suction stroke.
- each piston 21 discharges the hydraulic fluid from the cylinder bore 12a through the discharge check valve 17 and the discharge passage 20 during the discharge process. More specifically, when the hydraulic fluid in the cylinder bore 12a is pressurized by the piston 21 during the discharge process, the discharge passage 20 is eventually opened by the discharge check valve 17. As a result, the hydraulic fluid is guided from the cylinder bore 12a to the annular portion 20b via the branch portion 20a. Thereafter, the hydraulic fluid is discharged from the discharge port 20c.
- the swash plate rotating shaft 28 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating swash plate 13, so that each of the spools 26 reciprocates in synchronization with the corresponding piston 21 in the spool hole 12b.
- the communication passage 12d is opened during the suction stroke of each piston 21, and the communication passage 12d is closed during the discharge stroke of each piston 21.
- the cylinder bore 12a and the communication passage 12d communicate with each other until the communication passage 12d is closed in the discharge process (that is, until the piston 21 moves by the opening stroke length S2).
- the discharge of the hydraulic fluid from the cylinder bore 12a to the discharge port 20c is restricted.
- the effective stroke length S of each piston 21 is shorter than the actual stroke length S1 by the opening stroke length S2, and the pump 1 discharges a discharge volume of hydraulic fluid according to the effective stroke length S.

- the effective stroke length S of each piston 21 is changed, so that the discharge capacity of the pump 1 is increased or decreased.
- variable displacement mechanism 15 includes a spool 26 that changes the effective stroke length S of the piston 21. Therefore, the discharge capacity of the pump 1 can be changed.
- the cylinder block 12 includes spool holes 12b into which each of the spools 26 is reciprocably inserted. Therefore, the spool hole 12b can be arranged more compactly than in the case where the spool hole 12b is arranged in the casing 11 outside the cylinder block 12, so the pump 1 can be formed compactly. Thereby, the pump 1 whose discharge capacity can be changed can be formed compactly.
- the spool hole 12b is arranged inside the cylinder bore 12a. Therefore, the pump 1 can be made more compact.
- the accommodation hole 12c is arranged between the spool hole 12b and the cylinder bore 12a in the radial direction. Therefore, since there is no need to secure a separate space to form the housing hole 12c in the cylinder block 12, the pump 1 can be made more compact.
- the suction check valve 16 is inserted into the other axial end of the cylinder bore 12a.
- the suction check valve 16 connects the cylinder bore 12a and the suction passage 19, so that the cylinder port that connects the cylinder bore 12a and the suction passage 19 can be eliminated. Therefore, the pump 1 can be made more compact.
- the suction check valve 16 is arranged to face the piston 21 on the other side in the axial direction. Therefore, the space of the pump 1 can be effectively utilized.
- the discharge check valve 17 is arranged radially outside the suction check valve 16 when viewed in the axial direction. This allows the discharge check valve 17 and the suction check valve 16 to be arranged close to each other in the axial direction. Therefore, the pump 1 can be formed compactly in the axial direction.
- the discharge check valve 17 extends radially outward. Therefore, the pump 1 can be formed compactly in the axial direction.
- the valve body 16b of the suction check valve 16 protrudes from the suction passage 19 in the other axial direction, and the spring 16c is disposed at the other axially side portion of the valve body 16b. Therefore, the structure of the intake check valve 16 can be arranged outside the cylinder bore 12a. Thereby, the cylinder bore 12a can be prevented from becoming long, so the pump 1 can be formed compactly in the axial direction.
- the suction check valve 16 is inserted into the other axial end of the cylinder bore 12a.
- the suction check valve 16 connects the cylinder bore 12a and the suction passage 19, so that a cylinder port can be eliminated.

ばね27の各々は、スプール孔12bの各々に圧縮された状態で挿入されている。より詳細に説明すると、ばね27は、スプール孔12bにおいてスプール26より軸線方向一方側に配置されている。ばね27は、スプール26を、後述する斜板回転軸28へ付勢している。
斜板回転軸28は、回転斜板13に連動するように回転する。また、斜板回転軸28は、回転することによってスプール26の各々を往復運動させる。これにより、斜板回転軸28は、スプール26にシリンダボア12aとタンク30との間を開閉させる。ここでは、斜板回転軸28は、スプール26に連通路12dを開閉させる。また、斜板回転軸28は、スプール26の各々の開閉位置を変えることができる。スプール26の開閉位置は、スプール26が連通路12dを開き始める位置及び閉じる位置である。
吸入チェック弁16の各々は、吸入通路19からシリンダボア12aへの一方向の作動液の流れを許容し、逆方向の流れを阻止する。吸入チェック弁16は、シリンダボア12aに設けられている。本実施形態において、吸入チェック弁16は、シリンダボア12aと同数、つまり9本ある。吸入チェック弁16は、シリンダボア12aの軸線方向他方側に挿入されている。本実施形態において、吸入チェック弁16は、図4に示すように一端側部分を吸入側口12jに挿入されている。吸入チェック弁16の他端側部分は、シリンダボア12aから吸入通路19に突き出ている。吸入チェック弁16は、ピストン21に軸線方向他方側に対向するように配置されている。吸入チェック弁16は、軸線方向から見てシリンダボア12aより小径に形成されている。吸入チェック弁16は、互いに軸線が一致するようにシリンダボア12aに配置されている。
図1に示す吐出チェック弁17の各々は、シリンダボア12aから吐出ポート20cへの一方向の作動液の流れを許容し、逆方向の流れを阻止する。吐出チェック弁17の各々は、シリンダボア12aの各々に対して設けられている。即ち、吐出チェック弁17は、本実施形態においてシリンダボア12aと同数、つまり9本ある。吐出チェック弁17は、軸線方向に見て吸入チェック弁16の径方向外側に配置されている。より詳細に説明すると、吐出チェック弁17の弁体17aの最も径方向外側の部分が、吸入チェック弁16の弁体16bの最も径方向外側の部分よりも外側にある。ここでは、吸入チェック弁16の軸心よりも、外側に吐出チェック弁17の弁座20dがある。吐出チェック弁17は、径方向外側に延在している。吐出チェック弁17は、吐出通路20の分岐部20aに設けられている。本実施形態において、吐出チェック弁17は、ケーシング11の外周面から分岐部20aの径方向に延在する部分に挿入されている。これにより、吐出チェック弁17を環状部20bから離れた位置で吐出通路20を開閉することができる。それ故、吐出チェック弁17の開閉動作に関して、他のシリンダボア12aから環状部20bに導入される作動液の影響を受けることが抑制される。
ここから、ポンプ1の動作が説明される。回転斜板13が駆動源により回転駆動されると、それに応じて各ピストン21がシリンダボア12aにおいて往復運動する。これにより、各ピストン21は、吸入工程において吸入通路19から吸入チェック弁16を介してシリンダボア12aに作動液を吸入する。他方、各ピストン21は、吐出工程においてシリンダボア12aから吐出チェック弁17及び吐出通路20を介して作動液を吐出する。より詳細に説明すると、吐出工程においてシリンダボア12aの作動液がピストン21によって加圧されると、やがて吐出チェック弁17によって吐出通路20が開かれる。これにより、作動液がシリンダボア12aから分岐部20aを介して環状部20bに導かれる。その後、作動液は、吐出ポート20cから吐出される。
本実施形態のポンプ1では、複数のシリンダボア12aの外側に複数のスプール孔12bが配置されてもよい。スプール孔12bの各々は、対応するシリンダボア12aに対して径方向内方から周方向にずれた位置に配置されてもよい。本実施形態のポンプ1では、必ずしも複数のシュー22と、押え板23と、球面ブッシュ24と、複数の付勢部材25とが必ずしも備わっている必要はなく、ピストン21が回転斜板13に直接当接してもよい。吸入チェック弁16は、シリンダボア12aの吸入側口12jに必ずしも挿入されている必要はなく、別途形成されるシリンダポート等に取り付けられてもよい。また、吐出通路20の形状も前述する形状に限定されない。例えば、分岐部20aが環状部20bから径方向内方に延在してシリンダボア12aに繋がってもよい。この場合、吐出チェック弁17の各々は、環状部20bを貫通するように分岐部20aに配置される。
