Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Axialkolbenmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an axial piston machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine derartige, beispielsweise aus der US 2,968,286 bekannte Axialkolbenmaschine hat eine Vielzahl von etwa in Axialrichtung angeordneten Kolben, die in einer Zylindertrommel geführt sind. Die Zylindertrommel ist stirnseitig an einer Schrägscheibe abgestützt, deren Neigungswinkel den Hub der Kolben bestimmt. Zur Minimierung der in Axialrichtung auftretenden Kräfte sind bei einer in der US 2,968,286 offenbarten Lösung zwei entgegengesetzt ausgerichtete Kolbenreihen vorgesehen, so dass die Axialkolbenmaschine entsprechend mit zwei Zylindertrommeln und zwei Schrägscheiben ausgebildet ist. Die Kolben sind mit einer Welle verbunden, die je nach Ausführung der Axialkolbenmaschine als Antriebs- oder Abtriebswelle wirkt. Aufgrund der Schrägstellung der Zylindertrommel kommt es bei der Rotation der Kolben um die Wellenachse und der entsprechenden Drehbewegung der Zylindertrommel zu einer Transversalbewegung zwischen Kolben und Zylindertrommel. Diese Transversalbewegung wird bei der bekannten Lösung dadurch ausgeglichen, dass die Kolben über ein Universalgelenk (Kugelgelenk) in einem drehfest mit der Welle verbundenen Antriebsflansch gelagert sind.Such, for example, from US 2,968,286 known axial piston machine has a plurality of approximately axially arranged pistons, which are guided in a cylinder drum. The cylinder drum is supported on the front side on a swash plate whose angle of inclination determines the stroke of the piston. In order to minimize the forces occurring in the axial direction, two oppositely oriented rows of pistons are provided in a solution disclosed in US Pat. No. 2,968,286, so that the axial piston machine is correspondingly formed with two cylindrical drums and two swash plates. The pistons are connected to a shaft which, depending on the design of the axial piston machine, acts as a drive or output shaft. Due to the inclination of the cylinder drum occurs during the rotation of the piston about the shaft axis and the corresponding rotational movement of the cylinder drum to a transverse movement between the piston and the cylinder drum. This transverse movement is compensated in the known solution in that the pistons are mounted via a universal joint (ball joint) in a rotatably connected to the shaft drive flange.

In der WO 81/03677 A1 ist eine ähnliche Lösung mit entgegengesetzt gerichteten Kolbenreihen offenbart, bei der die Kolben paarweise mittels einer Verbindungsstange verbunden sind. Diese Verbindungsstange ist über ein Kugelgelenk und mit Spiel im Antriebsflansch gelagert und erlaubt ebenfalls den Ausgleich der transversalen Bewegungen.In WO 81/03677 A1 a similar solution with oppositely directed rows of pistons is disclosed in which the pistons are connected in pairs by means of a connecting rod. This connecting rod is mounted via a ball joint and with play in the drive flange and also allows the compensation of transversal movements.

In der WO 94/10443 A1 ist eine gattungsgemäße Lösung offenbart, bei der die Kolben starr mit dem Antriebsflansch verbunden sind und sich parallel zur Axialrichtung (Welle) erstrecken. Der Ausgleich der Transversalbewegungen erfolgt durch eine Ausbildung der Zylinder mit gekrümmten Umfangsflächen. Eine ähnliche Lösung ist auch in der US 5,636,561 offenbart.In WO 94/10443 A1, a generic solution is disclosed in which the pistons are rigidly connected to the drive flange and extend parallel to the axial direction (shaft). The compensation of the transverse movements takes place by forming the cylinders with curved peripheral surfaces. A similar solution is also disclosed in US 5,636,561.

Die vorgeschriebenen Lösungen haben den Nachteil gemeinsam, dass ein erheblicher vorrichtungstechnischer Aufwand zum Ausgleich der Transversalbewegungen erforderlich ist.The prescribed solutions have the common disadvantage that a considerable device-technical effort to compensate for the transversal movements is required.

In der US 3,648,567 ist eine Axialkolbenmaschine mit nur einer Kolbenreihe offenbart, die drehfest mit dem Antriebsflansch verbunden ist. Die parallel zur Axialrichtung vorstehenden Kolben tauchen in Hülsen der Zylindertrommel ein, die gleitend auf der Schrägscheibe geführt sind.In US 3,648,567 an axial piston machine is disclosed with only one row of pistons, which is rotatably connected to the drive flange. The pistons protruding parallel to the axial direction dip into sleeves of the cylinder drum, which are slidably guided on the swash plate.

Der Nachteil einer derartigen Lösung besteht darin, dass die Anlageflächen zwischen den Hülsen und der Schrägscheibe äußerst exakt bearbeitet werden müssen. Des Weiteren kann es durch das Abgleiten der Hülsen bei ungünstigen Betriebsbedingungen zu der Ausbildung von Riefen in der Schrägscheibe oder in den Hülsen kommen. Insbesondere bei schnellen Lastwechseln können die Hülsen kippen, so dass die Gefahr einer Beschädigung besteht und so Leistungsverluste in Kauf genommen werden müssen.The disadvantage of such a solution is that the contact surfaces between the sleeves and the swash plate must be processed extremely accurately. Furthermore, the sliding of the sleeves in unfavorable operating conditions can lead to the formation of grooves in the swash plate or in the sleeves. In particular, during rapid load changes, the sleeves can tilt, so there is a risk of damage and so losses in performance must be accepted.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Axialkolbenmaschine zu schaffen, die den Ausgleich transversaler Bewegungen mit minimalem vorrichtungstechnischem Aufwand erlaubt.In contrast, the present invention seeks to provide an axial piston machine, the compensation transversal movements allowed with minimal device technical effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Axialkolbenmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an axial piston machine having the features of patent claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß hat die Axialkolbenmaschine eine Zylindertrommel mit einer Vielzahl von Zylinderhülsen, die direkt oder mittelbar an einer Schrägscheibe abgestützt sind. diese Abstützung erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mittels eines Gelenks, das derart ausgestaltet ist, dass die Transversalbewegungen durch eine Kippbewegung der Zylinderhülsen ausgeglichen werden. Durch die gelenkige Lagerung der Zylinderhülsen mit Bezug zur Schrägscheibe ist die Gefahr des Ausbildens von Riefen oder sonstiger Laufrillen minimal, so dass die Laufzeit der Axialkolbenmaschine gegenüber herkömmlichen Lösungen wesentlich verlängert ist.According to the invention, the axial piston machine has a cylinder drum with a plurality of cylinder sleeves, which are supported directly or indirectly on a swash plate. this support is carried out according to the invention by means of a joint which is designed such that the transverse movements are compensated by a tilting movement of the cylinder sleeves. Due to the articulated mounting of the cylinder sleeves with respect to the swash plate, the risk of the formation of grooves or other grooves is minimal, so that the term of the axial piston machine is significantly extended compared to conventional solutions.

Erfindungsgemäß wird es bevorzugt, wenn das Gelenk als Universal- oder Kugelgelenk ausgebildet ist, das eine allseitige Verschwenkung der Zylinderhülsen im gewünschten Bereich ermöglicht.According to the invention it is preferred if the joint is designed as a universal or ball joint, which allows an all-round pivoting of the cylinder sleeves in the desired range.

Bei einem besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel hat das Kugelgelenk einen Gelenkbolzen, der einen Boden der Zylinderhülse durchsetzt und mit einem Innenumfangsbereich der Zylinderhülse das Kugelgelenk ausbildet.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the ball joint has a hinge pin which passes through a bottom of the cylinder sleeve and forms the ball joint with an inner peripheral portion of the cylinder sleeve.

Bei einer besonders einfachen Variante ist dieser Gelenkbolzen als Kugelkalotte ausgeführt, an deren balligem Kopf eine an der Innenumfangswandung der Zylinderhülse anliegende Dichtung ausgebildet ist.In a particularly simple variant of this hinge pin is designed as a spherical cap, is formed on the crowned head of a voltage applied to the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder sleeve seal.

Bei einer alternativen Variante wird das Gelenk in kinematischer Umkehrung durch einen axial vom Boden der Zylinderhülse vorstehenden Zapfen gebildet, dessen freier Endabschnitt in eine Aufnahme der Schrägscheibe oder eines an der Schrägscheibe anliegenden Bauelementes, beispielsweise eines Mitnehmers eintaucht und dort dichtend gelagert ist.In an alternative variant, the joint is in kinematic reversal by an axially from the bottom of Cylinder sleeve protruding pin formed whose free end portion dips into a receptacle of the swash plate or a voltage applied to the swash plate component, such as a driver and is mounted there sealing.

Die Funktionssicherheit der erfindungsgemäßen Axialkolbenmaschine wird verbessert, wenn die Zylinderhülsen in Richtung zur Schrägscheibe vorgespannt sind.The reliability of the axial piston machine according to the invention is improved when the cylinder sleeves are biased in the direction of the swash plate.

Bei eines besonders einfach herstellbaren Variante der Erfindung erfolgt diese Federvorspannung mittels einer die Zylinderhülse umgreifenden Feder, die an einem fußseitigen, radial vorstehenden Stützrand der Zylinderhülse angreift.In a particularly easy to manufacture variant of the invention, this spring preload by means of a cylinder sleeve engaging spring, which engages a foot-side, radially projecting support edge of the cylinder sleeve.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Boden der Zylinderhülse ballig ausgeführt, so dass diese beim Kippen auf diesem balligen Bereich abrollt.In one embodiment, the bottom of the cylinder sleeve is designed to be spherical, so that it rolls when tilted on this crowned area.

Die Zylinderhülsen sind vorzugsweise an einem Mitnehmer der Zylindertrommel geführt, der mit einer Stirnfläche an der Schrägscheibe abgestützt ist und der drehfest mit der Antriebs- oder Abtriebswelle verbunden ist. Dabei wird es bevorzugt, wenn der Mitnehmer eine Mitnehmerscheibe mit einem Flanschteil hat, an dessen von der Schrägscheibe abgewandten Ringstirnfläche die Zylinderhülsen abgestützt sind.The cylinder sleeves are preferably guided on a driver of the cylinder drum, which is supported with an end face on the swash plate and is rotatably connected to the drive or output shaft. It is preferred if the driver has a drive plate with a flange, at the side remote from the swash plate annular end face, the cylinder sleeves are supported.

Für den Fall, dass die Zylinderhülsen mittels Gelenkbolzen gelagert sind, können im Flanschteil nierenförmige Durchbrüche vorgesehen werden, in die diese Gelenkbolzen eingesetzt werden. Der in die nierenförmigen Durchbrüche eintauchende Teil der Gelenkbolzen kann dann durch Umbördeln formschlüssig festgelegt werden.In the event that the cylinder sleeves are mounted by means of hinge pins, kidney-shaped openings can be provided in the flange, in which these hinge pins are used. The dipping into the kidney-shaped openings part of the hinge pin can then be determined by crimping form-fitting.

Die Gelenkbolzen oder die bei der kinematischen Umkehr verwendeten Zapfen werden vorzugsweise hohl ausgebildet, so dass durch diese Druckmittel geführt werden kann.The hinge pins or the pins used in the kinematic reversal are preferably hollow, so that it can be guided by these pressure medium.

Zur Minimierung der in Axialrichtung auftretenden Kräfte kann die Axialkolbenmaschine mit zwei entgegengesetzt ausgerichteten Kolbenreihen, zwei Zylindertrommeln und zwei Schrägscheiben ausgeführt sein.To minimize the forces occurring in the axial direction, the axial piston machine can be designed with two oppositely oriented rows of pistons, two cylinder drums and two swash plates.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird es bevorzugt, wenn die Kolben paarweise als Doppelkolben ausgeführt sind und drehfest mit einem Antriebsflansch der Welle verbunden sind. Die in die Zylinderhülse eintauchenden Abschnitte der Kolben sind konisch, sich zu Dichtungen hin vergrößernd ausgebildet.In a solution according to the invention, it is preferred if the pistons are designed in pairs as a double piston and are non-rotatably connected to a drive flange of the shaft. The dipping into the cylinder sleeve portions of the piston are conical, formed to gaskets towards enlarging.

Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion lässt sich besonders vorteilhaft bei Axialkolbenpumpen einsetzen, bei denen die Welle als Antriebswelle zum Antrieb der Kolben und der Zylindertrommeln dient.The construction according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in axial piston pumps in which the shaft serves as a drive shaft for driving the pistons and the cylinder drums.

Die Spannfeder 48 ist ihrerseits an einem Stützring 58 abgestützt, der den Außenumfang der Zylinderhülsen 23 und den nabenförmigen Vorsprung 38 umgreift und in Axialrichtung mittels einer Stützeinrichtung 52 abgestützt ist. Die Zylinderhülse 23 hat eine Zylinderbohrung 54, in die der den Endabschnitt des Doppelkolbens 28 ausbildende Kolben eintaucht.At the support edge 44 engages a tension spring 48, so that the cylinder sleeve 23 is biased in its abutment position against the annular end face 42. The tension spring 48 is in turn supported on a support ring 58 which engages around the outer circumference of the cylinder sleeves 23 and the hub-shaped projection 38 and is supported in the axial direction by means of a support means 52. The cylinder sleeve 23 has a cylinder bore 54 into which the piston forming the end portion of the double piston 28 dips.

Die radiale Abstützung der Zylinderhülse 23 erfolgt mittels einer als Gelenkbolzen ausgebildeten Kugelkalotte 56, die mit einem balligen Kopf 58 in die Zylinderbohrung 54 eintaucht und über eine Dichtung 60 dichtend an der Innenumfangswandung der Zylinderbohrung 54 anliegt. die Kugelkalotte 56 ist in eine im Folgenden, noch näher beschriebene Aufnahme 62 des Flanschteils 40 eingesetzt.The radial support of the cylinder sleeve 23 takes place by means of a ball stud 56 formed as a spherical cap 56, which dips into the cylinder bore 54 with a crowned head 58 and sealingly abuts on the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder bore 54 via a seal 60. the spherical cap 56 is inserted into a receptacle 62 of the flange part 40 described below in greater detail.
