Abstract:
A hydraulic motor having radial pistons, and comprising a cam, a cylinder block and a distributor. The cylinders of the cylinder block are connected to communication orifices (32A) situated in a communication face of the cylinder block, while the distributor has a distribution face in which distribution orifices (21A, 23A) are provided that are suitable for communicating with the communication orifices for rotating the motor. The cam is provided with a plurality of lobes (50, 50′), each of which has two ramps (51, 52), each ramp corresponding to a distribution orifice (21A, 23A). The edge of each of at least certain communication orifices (32A) has at least one notch (54A, 54B) suitable for establishing a small section of communication with a distribution orifice. The invention applies in particular to hydraulic motors having radial pistons for which the ratio between the number of cylinders and the number of cam lobes is in the vicinity of 1.
Abstract:
A hydraulic motor (1) comprising a casing (2A, 2B) a reaction member having a reaction profile (4), a cylinder block (6), an internal fluid distributor (16) suitable for putting the cylinders (12) of the cylinder block (6) in communication with fluid feed and exhaust ducts, and a braking system which comprises first and second braking elements (42, 44), constrained to rotate respectively with the reaction member (4) and with the cylinder block (6). The braking system further comprises a brake piston (40) suitable for being displaced axially so as to urge the braking elements into braking contact or so as to enable braking to be released. The brake piston is constrained to rotate with the casing about the axis of rotation, and it has a substantially radial active face, a first brake member (42) belonging to the first braking means being integral with said active face.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pressurized fluid mechanism comprising a plurality of pistons (14) and a plurality of different cylinder capacities. A particular cylinder capacity is selected by means of two identical slide valves (17, 18) which serve selectively to neutralize either a first overall cylinder capacity (45a) or a second overall cylinder capacity (45c), or both or neither of said first and second cylinder capacities. One application of the invention is to providing an efficient and compact motor which is cheap to produce.
Abstract:
The circuit includes a main pump, a hydraulic motor, two main ducts, a selector for connecting the main ducts to the main pump or to a reservoir or for isolating them therefrom, a boost duct, and two pressure limiters disposed between the main ducts. A relief valve device that can take up a retention position and a relief position in which it connects one main duct (14, 16) to a relief enclosure can take up its relief position when, with the selector isolating the main ducts from the main pump and from the reservoir, the difference between the pressure in the main duct to which the control duct is connected and a relief pressure higher than the boost pressure changes sign.
Abstract:
A replenishing device for a closed circuit comprising at least one hydraulic motor and at least two main pipes which are connected to the pump to provide respectively the feed and the discharge for the motor. The device comprises a replenishing selector suitable for putting the main pipe that is at the lower pressure in communication with a valve which itself communicates with an atmospheric pressure reservoir. The replenishing selector and the valve are united in the same replenishing valve unit having an inlet suitable for being connected to the main pipe that is at the lower pressure, and an outlet which communicates continuously with the atmospheric pressure reservoir. The valve is suitable for causing the inlet to communicate with the outlet when the pressure in said main pipe reaches a given pressure threshold.
Abstract:
A hydraulic motor comprising a fixed case, a cam, a cylinder block having radial cylinders, an internal fluid distributor having distribution ducts, a braking device comprising a dog clutch, and a control piston. The motor is a slow motor having two distinct operating cylinder capacities. An annular space is formed in the case around the distributor beside the radial face of the cylinder block adjacent to the distributor, the first series of teeth of the dog clutch and the control piston are disposed in said annular space, the second series of teeth being secured to the radially-extending face of the cylinder block in the vicinity of the radially-outer periphery of said radially-extending face.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic motor having an undulating cam and at least one large and one small selectable operating cylinder capacity. In the motor, cylinder feed orifices (41a, 42a) are distributed around the circumference of a circle about the axis of rotation (5), and the small cylinder capacity corresponds to an irregular angular distribution of active cylinder orifices (41a) which continue to be fed. This configuration makes it possible to provide a constant velocity motor with at least two different cylinder capacities and which is mechanically long-lasting.

Abstract:
A hydraulic motor having radial pistons, and comprising a cam, a distributor, and a cylinder block whose cylinders are connected to communication orifices situated in a communication face of the cylinder block. The distributor has a distribution face in which distribution orifices open out that are suitable for communicating with the communication orifices while the cylinder block and the distributor are turning relative to each other. The cam is provided with a plurality of lobes, each of which has two ramps (50), each of which has a convex portion (51) and a concave portion (52). The edge of each distribution orifice has a leading portion (B1) via which communication between the distribution orifice and the communication orifices opens, and a trailing portion (B2) via which said communication closes. Each leading portion (B1) and each trailing portion (B2) of the edges of at least certain distribution orifices (21A, 23A) has an edge arrangement (53A; 53B) provided with at least one notch (54A; 54B), said edge arrangements of a distribution orifice being different depending on whether they are in angular correspondence with the convex region (51) or with the concave region (52) of the ramp of the cam.
