Abstract

The present invention relates to a pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump, comprising: a block housing that has one end connected to the first hydraulic circuit and the other end connected to the second hydraulic circuit; a damper that is embedded in the block housing, absorbs pressure resulting from working fluid introduced to the first hydraulic circuit, assists with pressure increase of the second hydraulic circuit, and allows shape deformation; and viscosity damping units that are embedded in the block housing, are arranged between the first hydraulic circuit and the damper and between the second hydraulic circuit and the damper, and reduce viscosity of the working fluid introduced from the first and second hydraulic circuits, thereby reducing pressure pulsation and stably performing shock absorption and pressure increase at the same time with a relatively simple configuration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump, comprising:
a first hydraulic circuit that interconnects a master cylinder for forming hydraulic control pressure and wheel brakes provided in a pair of wheels according to operation of a brake pedal so as to control fluid pressure transmission;
a second hydraulic circuit that interconnects the master cylinder for forming hydraulic control pressure and wheel brakes provided in a pair of wheels according to the operation of the brake pedal so as to control fluid pressure transmission;
a block housing that has one end connected to the first hydraulic circuit and the other end connected to the second hydraulic circuit;
a damper that is embedded in the block housing, absorbs pressure resulting from working fluid introduced to the first hydraulic circuit, assists with pressure increase of the second hydraulic circuit, and allows shape deformation; and
viscosity damping units that are embedded in the block housing, are arranged between the first hydraulic circuit and the damper and between the second hydraulic circuit and the damper, and reduces viscosity of the working fluid introduced from the first and second hydraulic circuits,
wherein the viscosity damping units comprises:
a first damping plate that is embedded in the block housing to be in contact with one surface of the damper, faces the first hydraulic circuit, allows the working fluid to flow to a central portion of the one surface of the damper, and allows the working fluid to flow through an entire surface; and
a second damping plate that is embedded in the block housing to be in contact with the other surface of the damper, faces the second hydraulic circuit, allows the working fluid to flow to a central portion of the other surface of the damper, and allows the working fluid to flow through the entire surface.

2. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 1 , wherein the block housing comprises:
a housing body having an inner space formed therein in which the damper and the viscosity damping units are embedded;
a first orifice that is formed through one end of the housing body to communicate with the inner space and is connected to the first hydraulic circuit; and
a second orifice that is formed through the other end of the housing body to communicate with the inner space and is connected to the second hydraulic circuit,
wherein the viscosity damping units allow flow of the working fluid introduced from the first orifice and the second orifice.

3. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 1 , wherein the first and second damping plates respectively comprise:
circular plate-shaped first and second plate body, edges of which contact and are fixed on an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical inner space of the block housing;
first and second through-holes that are formed through central portions of the first and second plate bodies and allow the working fluid to flow to the central portion of the one surface of the damper; and
a plurality of first and second damping meshes that is formed through entire surface of the first and second plate bodies and reduce viscosity of the working fluid.

4. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 1 , wherein the damper comprises:
a damper body embedded in the block housing; and
first and second damping grooves formed on one surface and the other surface of the damper body to allow shape deformation.

5. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 4 , wherein the damper body is embedded in the block housing, is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is made of an elastic material to alleviate shock resulting from the introduction of the working fluid.

6. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 4 , wherein the first and second damping grooves are depressed on the one surface and the other surface of the damper body and face the viscosity damping units, and sectional surfaces of the first and second damping grooves have arc shapes.

7. The pulsation reduction apparatus of a hydraulic piston pump of claim 4 , wherein the damper body comprises a Shock-absorption ring groove depressed in a ring shape along a side surface of the damper body which interconnects edges of the one surface and the other surface.
