Abstract

A hydraulic machine has a gear wheel ( 2 ) with outwardly extending teeth and a gear ring ( 4 ) with inwardly extending teeth formed by rollers each of which is supported in a pocket ( 8 ) in the gear ring, and pressurized spaces are formed between the gear wheel and the inwardly extending teeth. To keep the wear of the machine small, each pocket ( 8 ) has at least two different radii (R 1 , R 2 , Rn) whereby a radius (R 2 , Rn) at a smaller displacement from the edge ( 12 ) of the pocket is larger than a radius (R 1 ) at a larger displacement from the same edge ( 12 ) of the pocket ( 8 ).

Claims (7)

1. A hydraulic machine with a gear wheel having outwardly extending teeth and a gear ring having inwardly extending teeth,

wherein the inwardly extending teeth are formed by rollers each of which is supported in a pocket in the gear ring,

wherein the gear wheel forms pressure chambers with the inwardly extending teeth, and

wherein each pocket has a continuous surface having at least two different radii, whereby a first radius having a smaller spacing to an edge of the pocket is larger than a second radius having a larger spacing from the same edge of the pocket.

2. The hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein the pocket with respect to its middle plane in a circumferential direction has two mirror symmetrical identical halves.

3. The hydraulic machine according to claim 1 , wherein a middle circumferential section α of the pocket has a constant radius.

4. The hydraulic machine according to claim 3 , wherein the middle circumferential section α has an extent in the range of ±30° to 60°.
