Abstract: A kind of double-swashplate hydraulic axial piston electric motor pump with port valves is presented where cylinder is rotating along with the port valves, which is different from the conventional port-valving pump with the swashplate rotating and the cylinder mounted in the casing. The mathematic model of the pump flow distribution mechanism is established to study the effect of various structural parameters and operating parameters on the flow distribution characteristics, especially the effect of centrifugal force on the flow distribution characteristics of the poppet valve. Based on the simulation model and the pressure response curve and output flow curve of a single plunger chamber, the characteristics of the flow ripple and lateral force fluctuation of this type of pump are investigated. It turns out that large rotation speed of the pump will lead to the increase of flow pulsation and lateral force pulsation. The odevity of piston number has no obvious influence on the flow pulsation when piston number is large enough. And, even number of piston will produce larger lateral force pulsation than odd number of piston. A new principle of varying the displacement of axial piston pump with port valves is proposed, and regulating characteristics of the variable mode are studied. The experimental results of the prototype pump show that the operation principle of the pump is feasible and the application prospect of the double-swashplate hydraulic axial piston electric motor pump, or pump with port valves is forecast.
