Swash plate type piston pump motor
View Patent ↗A swash plate type piston pump motor is configured such that: a plurality of pistons are arranged in a circumferential direction in a cylinder block configured to rotate with a rotating shaft; the pistons reciprocate such that tip end portions thereof are guided by a smooth surface of a swash plate; and the swash plate is slidably supported by a concave surface of a swash plate support of a convex surface to be able to tilt with respect to a rotating axis, and concave surfaces and of the swash plate support include quenched portions which are partially quenched by laser light.
1. A swash plate type piston pump motor in which: a plurality of pistons are arranged in a circumferential direction in a cylinder block configured to rotate with a rotating shaft; the pistons reciprocate such that tip end portions thereof are guided along a smooth surface of a swash plate; and the swash plate is slidably supported by a swash plate support so as to be able to tilt with respect to the rotating shaft, wherein:
a circular-arc smooth convex surface opposed to the swash plate support is formed on a surface of the swash plate, the surface being opposite to the smooth surface of the swash plate, and an oil film keeping groove portion extending in a slide direction is concavely formed on the convex surface;
the swash plate support closes one side-opening of a substantially tubular casing main body and constitutes a part of a casing, and a bearing for rotatably supporting the rotating shaft is internally fitted in the swash plate support and a holding member is attached on an outer side of the bearing;
a slide surface of the swash plate support is a circular-arc concave surface, the slide surface supporting the convex surface of the swash plate, and a pressure oil supply port which opens and faces the groove portion is formed on the concave surface;
the concave surface of the swash plate support includes a first quenched portion partially quenched by laser light; and
the concave surface including the first quenched portion further includes a second quenched portion which is formed along an outer periphery of the concave surface so as to entirely surround the first quenched portion and a non-quenched portion in a closed loop shape.
2. The swash plate type piston pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first quenched portion is formed in a stripe pattern.
3. The swash plate type piston pump motor according to claim 2 , wherein respective lines of the first quenched portion extend in a direction perpendicular to a slide direction in which the swash plate slides on the swash plate support.
4. The swash plate type piston pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first quenched portion is formed as a plurality of spots.
