Abstract

Provided is a hydraulic drive device configured not to be increased in length in an axial direction. The hydraulic drive device is provided with a body portion for converting energy of a supplied pressure oil into rotational power, the body portion including an output shaft configured to rotate along a rotational axis by the rotational power, a hydraulic block disposed in an extending direction of the output shaft of the body portion and having an oil passage for supplying the pressure oil to the body portion, and a rotation sensor for detecting rotation of the output shaft, at least part of the rotation sensor being disposed in the hydraulic block.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic drive device, comprising:
an output shaft;
a body portion for converting energy of a supplied pressure oil into rotational power, the body portion configured to rotate the output shaft along a rotation axis by the rotational power;
a hydraulic block disposed in an extending direction of the output shaft of the body portion and having an oil passage for supplying the pressure oil to the body portion; and
a rotation sensor for detecting rotation of the output shaft, at least part of the rotation sensor being disposed in the hydraulic block,
wherein the body portion is positioned on one side of the hydraulic block in the extending direction of the output shaft and is adjacent to the hydraulic block in the extending direction of the output shaft, while the rotation sensor is disposed next to the hydraulic block on an other side of the hydraulic block in the extending direction of the output shaft and is next to the hydraulic block in the extending direction of the output shaft.

2. The hydraulic drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation sensor includes:
a rotary portion; and
a detection portion for measuring a rotational speed of the rotary portion,
wherein the rotary portion is connected to the output shaft and axially rotates together with the output shaft, and
wherein the rotation sensor determines a rotational speed of the output shaft with the detection portion measuring the rotational speed of the rotary portion.

3. The hydraulic drive device according to claim 2 , wherein a connection part of the rotary portion at which the rotary portion is connected to the output shaft is disposed in a concave portion of the hydraulic block.

4. The hydraulic drive device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
an interposition member secured to the hydraulic block, at least part of the interposition member being disposed in a concave portion of the hydraulic block,
wherein the detection portion is secured to the hydraulic block via the interposition member.

5. The hydraulic drive device according to claim 1 , wherein one end portion of the output shaft is disposed in a concave portion of the hydraulic block.

6. The hydraulic drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the other side of the hydraulic block includes an end portion, and
wherein the end portion of the hydraulic block on the other side is configured to receive the at least part of the rotation sensor therein.

7. A hydraulic drive device comprising:
a body portion for converting energy of a supplied pressure oil into rotational power, the body portion including an output shaft configured to rotate along a rotation axis by the rotational power;
a hydraulic block disposed in an extending direction of the output shaft of the body portion and having an oil passage for supplying the pressure oil to the body portion; and
a rotation sensor for detecting rotation of the output shaft, at least part of the rotation sensor being disposed in the hydraulic block,
wherein, with respect to the extending direction of the output shaft, the body portion is disposed on one side of the hydraulic block, while the rotation sensor is disposed on an other side of the hydraulic block,
wherein an end portion of the hydraulic block on the other side has a concave portion, and
wherein at least part of the rotation sensor is disposed in the concave portion.

8. A hydraulic drive device comprising:
a body portion for converting energy of a supplied pressure oil into rotational power, the body portion including an output shaft configured to rotate along a rotation axis by the rotational power;
a hydraulic block disposed in an extending direction of the output shaft of the body portion and having an oil passage for supplying the pressure oil to the body portion; and
a rotation sensor for detecting rotation of the output shaft, at least part of the rotation sensor being disposed in the hydraulic block,
wherein the rotation sensor includes:
a rotary portion; and
a detection portion for measuring a rotational speed of the rotary portion,

wherein the rotary portion is connected to the output shaft and axially rotates together with the output shaft, and
wherein the rotation sensor determines a rotational speed of the output shaft with the detection portion measuring the rotational speed of the rotary portion,
wherein the output shaft includes a first connection shaft and a second connection shaft connected to each other,
wherein the second connection shaft is disposed more distantly than the first connection shaft from the body portion, and
wherein the rotary portion is connected to the second connection shaft.
