Publication number: 20230193886Abstract: One object is to provide a hydraulic pump that allows a drive source to be started with a small torque. The hydraulic pump includes: a cylinder block having a plurality of cylinder bores and disposed so as to be rotatable; pistons each retained in associated one of the cylinder bores so as to be movable; a swash plate for controlling the amount of movement of the pistons in accordance with the size of the tilt angle; a first pressing unit for pressing the swash plate in such a direction as to reduce the tilt angle of the swash plate; and a second pressing unit for pressing the swash plate in such a direction as to increase the tilt angle of the swash plate by the pressure supplied from the outside.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventor: Toshiya AKAMI

Patent number: 11603830Abstract: A hydraulic pump includes a cylinder block, a plurality of pistons, a swash plate, a first pressing unit, and a second pressing unit. The cylinder block has a plurality of cylinder bores and is disposed so as to be rotatable. Each of the plurality of pistons is retained in associated one of the cylinder bores so as to be movable. The swash plate is configured for controlling the amount of movement of the plurality of pistons in accordance with the size of the tilt angle. The first pressing unit is configured for pressing the swash plate in such a direction as to reduce the tilt angle of the swash plate. The second pressing unit is configured for pressing the swash plate in such a direction as to increase the tilt angle of the swash plate by a pressure supplied from the outside of the hydraulic pump.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: NABTESCO CORPORATIONInventor: Toshiya Akami

Patent number: 11346082Abstract: A hydraulic drive device according to an embodiment includes a main pump and a single pressure gauge. The main pump controls discharge flow rates of a first hydraulic oil and a second hydraulic oil discharged into two or more first pressure oil supply passage and second pressure oil supply passage with a single swash plate. The main pump is a swash plate variable displacement type split flow hydraulic pump. The pressure gauge measures an intermediate pressure of the discharged fluid at a merging point between the first pressure oil supply passage and the second pressure oil supply passage. The discharge flow passage is controlled based on a pressure value obtained by the pressure gauge.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: NABTESCO CORPORATIONInventor: Toshiya Akami

Patent number: 11002136Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a piston, a swash plate opposed to the piston, and a swash plate supporting member supporting the swash plate so that a tilt of the swash plate is variable. An oil reservoir portion is provided between the swash plate and the swash plate supporting member, the oil reservoir portion communicating with a pressure oil introducing passage. An area of the oil reservoir portion between the swash plate and the swash plate supporting member varies with the tilt of the swash plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: NABTESCO CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiya Akami, Sho Yamaguchi

Patent number: 9435399Abstract: Provided is a reduction gear with which allowable output can be further increased and a reduction in size can be achieved. A reduction gear (1) has a case (2), a speed reduction mechanism (3) accommodated within the case (2), a shaft portion (51) to which output of the speed reduction mechanism (3) is transmitted, and a pinion (52) coupled to the shaft portion (51). The speed reduction mechanism (3) has an external tooth gear (15) to which output of an electric motor (100) is transmitted, and a carrier (17) holding the external tooth gear (15). The pinion (52) and the shaft portion (51) are integrally formed, and the shaft portion (51) and the carrier (17) are spline-coupled to each other. A pair of main bearings (32, 33) are held by the case (2), and rotatably support the carrier (17).Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: NABTESCO CORPORATIONInventor: Toshiya Akami

Patent number: 8337355Abstract: There is provided an eccentric speed reducer that achieves improved output torque without increasing the outer radial dimension of a casing. The strut includes, at the basal portion of a peripheral side surface where the strut is continuous with the base carrier, first curved portions and second curved portions that are in a form of a curved surface having a different radius of curvature. The first curved portions are provided at the supporting hole-facing sides of the strut that are disposed facing the rotation supporting holes. The second curved portions are provided between an outer side located in the strut at an outer position in the radial direction of the casing and on the side facing the inner circumference of the casing, and supporting hole-facing sides. The second curved portions have a larger radius of curvature than the first curved portions.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Nabtesco CorporationInventor: Toshiya Akami

Patent number: 8308599Abstract: An eccentric speed reducer is provided with which it is possible to achieve improved output torque without increasing the outer radial dimension of the casing. A tapered side is formed on at least part of a peripheral side surface of struts 18, with the tapered side extending in a tapered manner in the longitudinal direction of the struts 18 in a direction that is oblique to a direction parallel to a center line P passing through a casing 14 so as to connect inner circumferential centers of the casing 14 and in which the struts 18 narrow toward an end carrier 17. A tapered side gradient that is the angle of a direction in which the tapered side extends relative to the direction parallel to the center line P is formed to be at least 3 degrees and at most 6 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Nabtesco CorporationInventor: Toshiya Akami
