Abstract

A hydraulic pump motor includes: a cylinder block; a plurality of cylinder bores; a port block and a valve plate, the valve plate being provided with a high pressure port and a low pressure port, the port block being provided with a discharge oil passage and a suction oil passage, a piston disposed in each cylinder bore, and oil flowing through the discharge oil passage and the suction oil passage. Further, the valve plate is provided with a reproduction port at a bottom dead center side position, the port block is internally provided with a reproduction oil passage, and the reproduction oil passage passes through a first region on a side of the high pressure port of the virtual plane and passes through a second region on a side of the low pressure port of the virtual plane in the port block.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydraulic pump motor, comprising:
a cylinder block provided with a plurality of cylinder bores around a rotation axis; and
a port block on which an end surface of the cylinder block is rotatably and slidably in contact with the cylinder block via a valve plate,
the valve plate being provided with a high pressure port on one side of a virtual plane including the rotation axis and provided with a low pressure port on another side of the virtual plane on a circumference centered on a rotation axis of the cylinder block,
the port block being provided with a discharge oil passage that communicates with the high pressure port and a suction oil passage that communicates with the low pressure port, and
a piston disposed in each cylinder bore reciprocating with rotation of the cylinder block, oil flowing through the discharge oil passage and the suction oil passage,
wherein the valve plate is provided with a reproduction port at a bottom dead center side position that communicates with one of the plurality of cylinder bores between the low pressure port and the high pressure port,
the port block is internally provided with a reproduction oil passage that communicates directly between the reproduction port and the discharge oil passage, and
the reproduction oil passage passes through a first region on a side of the high pressure port of the virtual plane and passes through a second region on a side of the low pressure port of the virtual plane in the port block from the discharge oil passage to the reproduction port.

2. The hydraulic pump motor according to claim 1 ,
wherein a discharge port of the discharge oil passage opens at a first side surface that is located around the rotation axis on an outer surface of the port block,
a suction port of the suction oil passage opens at a second side surface that is located around the rotation axis on the outer surface of the port block and that is adjacent to the first side surface, and
the second region is provided in a portion surrounded by the discharge oil passage and the suction oil passage.

3. The hydraulic pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein continuous turn-back oil passage portions configured by connecting a plurality of linearly extending oil passage holes to each other are provided in at least one of the first region and the second region.

4. The hydraulic pump motor according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure accumulating hole that communicates with the reproduction oil passage is provided in at least one of the first region and the second region.
