PUMP DISCHARGE FLOW-RATE CONTROL DEVICE
A pump discharge flow-rate control device includes a constant capacity pump driven by a common driving source with a variable capacity pump, a resistor interposed in a signal pressure passage through which a working fluid discharged from the constant capacity pump flows, and a control pressure actuator configured to lower the control pressure by driving the regulator in accordance with a rise in a differential pressure before and after the resistor. The resistor includes a fixed throttle and a check valve interposed in the signal pressure passage in parallel with each other. The check valve includes a seat interposed in the signal pressure passage, a poppet arranged on a downstream side of the seat, and a spring configured to press the poppet to the seat.
1 . A pump discharge flow-rate control device for controlling a discharge flow rate of a variable capacity pump in accordance with a control pressure adjusted by a regulator, comprising:
a constant capacity pump driven by a common driving source with the variable capacity pump;
a resistor interposed in a signal pressure passage through which a working fluid discharged from the constant capacity pump flows; and
a control pressure actuator configured to lower the control pressure by driving the regulator in accordance with a rise in a differential pressure before and after the resistor, wherein
the resistor includes a fixed throttle and a check valve interposed in the signal pressure passage in parallel with each other; and
the check valve includes:
a seat interposed in the signal pressure passage;
a poppet arranged on a downstream side of the seat; and
a spring configured to press the poppet to the seat.
2 . The pump discharge flow-rate control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixed throttle is formed inside the poppet.
3 . The pump discharge flow-rate control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixed throttle has:
an upstream side throttle hole opened in the poppet and communicating with an upstream side of the seat in the signal pressure passage; and
a downstream side throttle hole connected to the upstream side throttle hole and communicating with a downstream side of the seat in the signal pressure passage; and
a sectional area of the upstream side throttle hole is formed smaller than a sectional area of the downstream side throttle hole.
4 . The pump discharge flow-rate control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the poppet has:
a valve body portion seated on a seat of the signal pressure passage; and
a shaft which supports the valve body portion; wherein
the pump discharge flow-rate control device further comprises:
an accommodating chamber which accommodates the spring configured to urge the shaft in an axial direction; and
a communication path having a downstream side of the seat in the signal pressure passage communicate with the accommodating chamber.
5 . The pump discharge flow-rate control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an adjuster rod configured to be displaced in an axial direction of the poppet and to adjust an urging force of the spring, wherein
the adjuster rod configured to move to a position where a valve opening of the poppet is regulated.
