Abstract

The invention specifies a hydraulic vane-type machine ( 1 ) having a stator ( 2 ) and having a rotor ( 3 ) which has multiple vanes ( 4 ), each of which vanes is radially displaceable in a guide ( 5 ) in the rotor ( 3 ), bears against an inner circumference ( 6 ) of the stator ( 2 ), and, together with the rotor ( 3 ), the stator ( 2 ) and in each case one side wall ( 7 ) at each axial end of the rotor ( 3 ), delimits working chambers whose volumes vary in the event of a rotation of the rotor ( 3 ) relative to the stator ( 2 ). It is sought to obtain a certain degree of freedom for the design of the inner circumference. For this purpose, it is provided that each vane ( 4 ) has, on its radially inner side, an abutment surface ( 17 ) which bears radially at the outside against a cam disk ( 15 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic vane-type machine having a stator and having a rotor which has multiple vanes, each of which vanes is radially displaceable in a guide in the rotor, bears against an inner circumference of the stator, and, together with the rotor, the stator and in each case one side wall at each axial end of the rotor, delimits working chambers whose volumes vary in the event of a rotation of the rotor relative to the stator, wherein each vane has, on its radially inner side, an abutment surface which bears radially at the outside against a cam disk,
wherein the abutment surface is formed on at least one axial end of the vanes,
wherein the abutment surface is formed in a recess on the axial end of the vane, and
wherein the recess has a radial extent which is greater than a maximum stroke of the vane.

2. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the vanes protrude axially beyond the rotor.

3. The vane-type machine according to claim 2 , wherein the recess has a radial extent which is greater than a maximum stroke of the vane.

4. The vane-type machine according to claim 2 , wherein the recess has an axial extent which corresponds to an axial thickness of the cam disk.

5. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the recess has an axial extent which corresponds to an axial thickness of the cam disk.

6. A hydraulic vane-type machine having a stator and having a rotor which has multiple vanes, each of which vanes is radially displaceable in a guide in the rotor, bears against an inner circumference of the stator, and, together with the rotor, the stator and in each case one side wall at each axial end of the rotor, delimits working chambers whose volumes vary in the event of a rotation of the rotor relative to the stator, wherein each vane has, on its radially inner side, an abutment surface which bears radially at the outside against a cam disk,
wherein the abutment surface is formed on at least one axial end of the vanes,
wherein the abutment surface is formed in a recess on the axial end of the vane,
wherein the recess has a radial extent which is greater than a maximum stroke of the vane, and
wherein the cam disk corresponds to the inner circumference of the stator minus twice the radial extent of the vanes plus twice the radial extent of the recess.

7. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the abutment surface is rounded.

8. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor has a passage opening for receiving a shaft, which passage opening widens in an axially inward direction toward a cavity.

9. The vane-type machine according to claim 8 , wherein the vanes protrude by way of their radially inner side into the cavity during an inward stroke.

10. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein each vane has, in the region of the guide, a surface formed from a plastic that has a low-friction interaction with steel, and the abutment surface is at least partially formed from a steel, wherein the cam disk, at least in a region against which the vane bears, has a surface which is formed from a plastic that has a low-friction interaction with steel.

11. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the cam disk is formed in one piece with the side wall.

12. The vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the recess has an axial extent which corresponds to an axial thickness of the cam disk.

13. A hydraulic vane-type machine having a stator and having a rotor which has multiple vanes, each of which vanes is radially displaceable in a guide in the rotor, bears against an inner circumference of the stator, and, together with the rotor, the stator and in each case one side wall at each axial end of the rotor, delimits working chambers whose volumes vary in the event of a rotation of the rotor relative to the stator, wherein each vane has, on its radially inner side, an abutment surface which bears radially at the outside against a cam disk,
wherein the abutment surface is formed on at least one axial end of the vanes,
wherein the abutment surface is formed in a recess on the axial end of the vane,
wherein the recess has an axial extent which corresponds to an axial thickness of the cam disk, and
wherein the cam disk corresponds to the inner circumference of the stator minus twice the radial extent of the vanes plus twice the radial extent of the recess.

14. The-vane-type machine according to claim 1 , wherein the vanes have a core composed of steel and a lining composed of plastic, and
wherein the plastic interacts with a low friction with a steel material of the stator.
