Title: Piston pump
Inventor: KIHARA YOSHIMITSU
IPC: F04B1/30
Filed: 2019-12-20
Abstract: To provide a piston pump that avoids excessive pressure rise by releasing a pressure in a pump when a pressure on a pump discharging side becomes high, and can be decreased in size and simplify a fluid pressure circuit without any difficulty.SOLUTION: An elastically deformable moving control piece 17 is interposed between a cylinder block 20 and a rotary shaft 10 stored in a housing 50. When a pressure of working fluid sent out is excessively high, the moving control piece 17 is deformed by force applied from the working fluid through the cylinder block 20 to permit movement to a rotary shaft axis direction of the cylinder block 20. Since the cylinder block 20 is isolated from a valve plate portion 54 of the housing 50, a discharge port 54b of the valve plate portion 54 is communicated with a suction port 54a to obtain a state that the high pressure of the working fluid in the discharge port 54b releases to the suction port 54a. Even if actuation of a pump is continued, the pressure of the working fluid can be prevented from excessively rising by the pump alone, and a fluid pressure circuit can be simplified.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
