Abstract

To provide an attachment structure of a swash plate support, that is, an attachment structure which suppresses an unstably fixed state of the swash plate support and realizes easy attachment and detachment of the swash plate support to and from a casing. A casing of a piston pump and a swash plate support which is attachable to the casing include a displacement preventing device and a rotation preventing device. In the swash plate support and the casing, since an engaging pawl portion of the displacement preventing device engages with an engaging portion, relative displacements in a first direction and a second direction along the rotational axis are prevented, and since a pin member of the rotation preventing device fits in the pin fit hole, relative rotations around the rotational axis are prevented.

Claims (14)

1. An attachment structure of a swash plate support, comprising:

a casing accommodating a cylinder block which is provided so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis and includes a plurality of piston chambers in which a plurality of pistons, which extend and retract in accordance with a rotation of the cylinder block, are fitted; and a swash plate which supports the pistons;

the swash plate support being provided on the casing so as to be rotatable around the rotational axis between an attachment preparing position and an attachment completing position, for supporting the swash plate at the attachment completing position; and

an axial direction displacement preventing device for, in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment preparing position, allowing the swash plate support to be displaced with respect to the casing in an axial direction along the rotational axis, and in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment completing position, preventing the swash plate support from being displaced with respect to the casing in the axial direction along the rotational axis.

2. The attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the axial direction displacement preventing device includes:

a first engaging portion provided on the casing; and

a second engaging portion which is provided on the swash plate support, does not engage with the first engaging portion in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment preparing position, and engages with the first engaging portion in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment completing position.

3. The attachment structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotation preventing device for, in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment completing position, preventing the swash plate support from rotating around the rotational axis with respect to the casing.

4. The attachment structure according to claim 3 , wherein the rotation preventing device includes:

an engagement hole provided on one of the casing and the swash plate support;

a pin member which is provided on the other of the casing and the swash plate support, and is displaceable between a non-engagement position where the pin member does not engage with the engagement hole and an engagement position where the pin member engages with the engagement hole in a state where the swash plate support is placed at the attachment completing position; and

a spring force generating device for elastically pressing the pin member in an engagement direction that is a direction from the non-engagement position to the engagement position.

5. A hydraulic apparatus, comprising:

the attachment structure according to claim 1 .
