Analysis of axial force of double circular arc helical gear hydraulic pump and design of its balancing device

Abstract

In view of the axial force produced in the working process of double arc helical gear hydraulic pump, the theory of differential equation of curve and curved surface was utilized so that the calculation formula of axial force was obtained and the relationship between the axial force and structure parameters of gears was clarified. In order to balance the axial force, the pressure oil in the high pressure area was introduced into the end face of the plunger to press the plunger against the gear shaft, and the hydrostatic bearing whose type is plunger at the end of the shaft was designed. In order to verify the balance effect of axial force, the leakage owing to end clearance and volume efficiency of gear hydraulic pump before and after the balancing process was analyzed. This paper provides a new analysis idea and balance scheme for the axial force produced in the working process of the double arc helical gear hydraulic pump, which can reduce the leakage owing to end clearance caused by the axial force and improve the volume efficiency of the gear hydraulic pump.
