Hydraulic motor
View Patent ↗A hydraulic motor is equipped with an output shaft ( 2 ), a cylinder ( 4 ) arranged around the output shaft and receiving a plurality of pistons ( 6 ) expanding with the fluid pressure, a diagonal plate ( 7 ) that contacts the plurality of the expanding pistons ( 6 ), thereby to exert rotational force to the cylinder ( 4 ), a brake disc ( 21 ) disposed outside the cylinder ( 4 ) to rotate together therewith, a motor casing ( 11, 12 ) receiving the cylinder ( 4 ) and the brake disc ( 21 ), a brake driving device ( 25 ) that presses an outer periphery of the brake disc ( 21 ) on an inner peripheral surface of the motor casing ( 11, 12 ) to brake the brake disc. A first chamber ( 14 ) and a second chamber ( 15 ) are defined in the motor casing ( 11, 12 ) by the brake disc ( 21 ) and a communicating passage ( 30 ) formed bypassing the brake disc ( 21 ) communicates the first chamber 814 ) with the second chamber ( 15 ). Since the pressure difference between the first chamber ( 14 ) and the second chamber ( 15 ) is prevented due to the communicating passage ( 30 ), the friction resistance does not occur at the brake disc ( 21 ) when the braking is released.
1. A hydraulic motor comprising:
an output shaft ( 2 );
a cylinder ( 4 ) arranged around the output shaft ( 2 ) and receiving a plurality of pistons ( 6 ) expanding by reason of hydraulic pressure;
a diagonal plate ( 7 ) that contacts the plurality of the expanding pistons ( 6 ), thereby to exert rotational force to the cylinder ( 4 );
a brake disc ( 21 ) disposed outside the cylinder ( 4 ) and rotating therewith;
a motor casing ( 11 , 12 ) receiving the cylinder ( 4 ) and the brake disc ( 21 );
a brake driving device ( 25 ) that presses an outer periphery of the brake disc ( 21 ) on an inner peripheral surface of the motor casing ( 11 , 12 ) to brake the brake disc ( 21 );
a first chamber ( 14 ) and a second chamber ( 15 ) in the motor casing ( 11 , 12 ) defined by the brake disc ( 21 ); and
a communicating passage ( 30 or 40 ) formed bypassing the brake disc ( 21 ) to communicate the first chamber ( 14 ) with the second chamber ( 15 ).
2. A hydraulic motor as defined in claim 1 , wherein
the communicating passage ( 30 ) is formed in the motor casing ( 11 , 12 ).
3. A hydraulic motor as defined in claim 1 , wherein
the communicating passage ( 40 ) is formed in the output shaft ( 2 ).
4. A hydraulic motor as defined in claim 1 , wherein the communicating passage ( 30 , 40 ) is formed in the motor casing ( 11 , 12 ), as well as the output shaft ( 2 ).
