Patent number: 10533544Abstract: A swash plate type liquid-pressure rotating device includes a movement restricting mechanism configured to restrict a movement of a spherical bushing relative to a rotating shaft toward a first side in an axial direction. The movement restricting mechanism is a restricting member such that a portion of the spherical bushing which portion is located at the first side in the axial direction contacts the restricting member. The swash plate type liquid-pressure rotating device further includes: a stopper attached to the rotating shaft; and a gap adjusting member. The gap adjusting member is inserted into a gap G3 formed between the stopper and the bearing when the spherical bushing, the retainer plate, the shoe, and the swash plate tightly contact one another in the axial direction. The gap adjusting member restricts a movement of the rotating shaft relative to the casing toward the first side in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Arata Funasaka, Shinji Nishida, Masaki Ohnishi

Publication number: 20150000513Abstract: On an inner surface of a housing, a nozzle for jetting operation oil is provided at a position opposite to an outer circumferential surface of a cylinder block. With this configuration, by spraying the operation oil from the nozzle to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder block during rotation of the cylinder block, this operation oil can remove frictional heat generated by sliding between a piston and a cylinder, and seizure of the piston and seizure of the cylinder can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Arata Funasaka, Tsutomu Yamazaki

Patent number: 8282347Abstract: An example impeller includes: an impeller body in which an internal channel is formed, the internal channel extending inside the impeller body in a direction of a rotation axis spirally about the rotation axis to connect an inlet and an outlet; and at least one centrifugal vane provided in the impeller body. The internal channel including the inlet and the outlet has a predetermined passage diameter. An external channel is formed so as to continue to the outlet and go around the circumferential surface of the impeller body, the external channel being defined by the centrifugal vane and being recessed inward in the radial direction from the circumferential surface of the impeller body. At least a part in a flow direction of the external channel has a channel width in the direction of the rotation axis smaller than the width of the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2008Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Shinmaywa Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhide Okazaki, Akihiro Ando, Junya Enomoto, Arata Funasaka, Terumasa Okizoe, Motonobu Tarui, Yasuyuki Nishi

Publication number: 20110164968Abstract: A centrifugal pump impeller 11 includes an impeller body in which an inner channel 35 is formed, and a single centrifugal vane 37 provided in the impeller body so as to have a leading edge at an outlet and a trailing edge at a predetermined point of an outer periphery of the impeller body. The centrifugal vane 37 is designed so that the area of an outer channel 36, which is defined by the centrifugal vane 37, in an angle range of 270° in a peripheral direction from the trailing edge of the centrifugal vane 37 to the total area of the impeller body surrounded by the outer periphery of the impeller body is less than 0.3.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2009Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: SHINMAYWA INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Terumasa Okizoe, Yasuhide Okazaki, Junya Enomoto, Arata Funasaka, Hiromasa Shimizu, Akihiro Ando, Satoshi Mashita, Kazuki Takeuchi, Yasuyuki Nishi, Nobukazu Tanaka

Patent number: 7837431Abstract: In an impeller 11, an inlet portion and an outlet portion are provided at one end side and the other end side in the axial direction, respectively. An inlet 29 is formed in the lower part of the inlet portion, and an outlet is formed in the side face of the outlet portion. The inlet portion and the outlet portion are partitioned by a flange portion 40. The impeller 11 includes a primary vane 36 and a secondary vane 38. The primary vane 36 defines a spiral primary channel 35 that connects the inlet 29 and the outlet. The secondary vane 38 is formed in a shape that a part of the outer periphery of the outlet portion is gouged inward so as to define a secondary channel 37 connected to the primary channel 35 and extending circumferentially around the outer periphery.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Shinmaywa Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Yasuyuki Nishi, Chikara Takebe, Koichi Tamura, Yoichi Tamaki, Akihiro Ando, Arata Funasaka
