Pump device and hydraulic actuator
A first case accommodating a first check valve of a switching valve switching a flow of hydraulic fluid to one of a first chamber and a second chamber of a cylinder device, an inside of which is segmented into the first chamber and the second chamber by a piston, and a second case which is stacked on the first case and in which a first actuation valve of the switching valve is accommodated to be displaced in a direction of stacking the first case are provided. A first valve chamber, accommodating the first actuation valve, of the second case has a pressure receiving surface on which pressure of hydraulic fluid that acts on the first valve chamber acts toward the first case.
1. A pump device comprising:
a first case accommodating a check valve of a switching valve switching a flow of hydraulic fluid to one of a first chamber and a second chamber of a cylinder device, an inside of which is segmented into the first chamber and the second chamber by a piston; and
a second case that is stacked on the first case and has a valve chamber in which an actuation valve of the switching valve is accommodated to be slidingly displaced in a stacking direction of the first case and the second case, wherein
the valve chamber has a surface on which pressure of the hydraulic fluid that acts on the valve chamber acts toward the first case in a sliding direction of the actuation valve,
the valve chamber is open on an opposite side to the first case, and
a covering member is provided to cover an opened portion of the valve chamber from the opposite side to the first case and resist the pressure of the hydraulic fluid that acts on the valve chamber.
2. The pump device according to claim 1 , wherein the second case has a step section that protrudes toward an inner side of the valve chamber.
3. The pump device according to claim 2 , wherein the surface of the valve chamber is formed on the step section.
4. The pump device according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the valve chamber is formed in an annular shape parallel to an upper surface of the first case.
5. The pump device according to claim 1 , wherein
the actuation valve has a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface,
the first bottom surface faces only the first case, and
the second bottom surface faces the surface of the valve chamber.
6. The pump device according to claim 1 , wherein an uppermost surface of the first case lies entirely below a bottommost surface of the second case.
7. A pump device comprising:
a first case accommodating a check valve of a switching valve switching a flow of hydraulic fluid to one of a first chamber and a second chamber of a cylinder device, an inside of which is segmented into the first chamber and the second chamber by a piston; and
a second case which is stacked on the first case and has a valve chamber in which an actuation valve of the switching valve is accommodated to be displaced in a sliding direction of the first case, wherein
the second case has a first portion and a second portion that are defined by inner surfaces of the second case, which define the valve chamber,
the first portion has an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the second portion within which the actuation valve slides, and
the first portion is located between the second portion and the first case.
8. The pump device according to claim 7 , wherein
the valve chamber is open on an opposite side to the first case, and
a covering member is provided to cover an opened portion of the valve chamber from the opposite side to the first case and resist the pressure of the hydraulic fluid that acts on the valve chamber.
9. The pump device according to claim 7 , wherein the second case has a step section that protrudes toward an inner side of the valve chamber.
10. The pump device according to claim 9 , wherein
the actuation valve has a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface,
the first bottom surface faces only the first case, and
the second bottom surface faces the surface of the step section.
11. A hydraulic actuator comprising:
a cylinder device, an inside of which is segmented into a first chamber and a second chamber by a piston; and
a pump device which comprises a first case accommodating a check valve of a switching valve switching a flow of hydraulic fluid to one of the first chamber and the second chamber, and a second case which is stacked on the first case and has a valve chamber in which an actuation valve of the switching valve is accommodated to be slidingly displaced in a stacking direction of the first case and the second case, such that the valve chamber has a surface on which pressure of the hydraulic fluid that acts on the valve chamber acts toward the first case in a sliding direction of the actuation valve, wherein
the valve chamber is open on an opposite side to the first case, and
a covering member is provided to cover an opened portion of the valve chamber from the opposite side to the first case and resist the pressure of the hydraulic fluid that acts on the valve chamber.
12. A hydraulic actuator comprising:
a cylinder device, an inside of which is segmented into a first chamber and a second chamber by a piston; and
a pump device which comprises a first case accommodating a check valve of a switching valve switching a flow of hydraulic fluid to one of the first chamber and the second chamber, and a second case which is stacked on the first case and has a valve chamber in which an actuation valve of the switching valve is accommodated to be displaced in a stacking direction of the first case and the second case, wherein
the second case has a first portion and a second portion that are defined by inner surfaces of the second case, which define the valve chamber,
a first portion has an diameter smaller than an inner diameter of a second portion of the valve chamber within which the actuation valve slides, and
the first portion is located between the second portion and the first case.
