DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an electric hydraulic hybrid motor, a control device, and a control method for the same motor, and particularly to an electric hydraulic motor which houses a hydraulic pump, driven by an electric motor, and a hydraulic motor, which outputs torque by receiving pressurized oil from the hydraulic pump, located inwardly of the rotor of the electric motor.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, it is known that a hydraulic pump, driven by an electric motor, and a hydraulic motor, outputting torque by receiving pressurized oil from the hydraulic pump, can be provided integrally with the electric motor (for example, Japanese Patent Application Publication B1 53-37523). According to the Japanese Patent Application Publication B1 53-37523, the hydraulic variable speed electric motor is provided with a rotor which is located inwardly of the stator of the electric motor, and a hollow shaft, which is located inwardly of the rotor and which has both ends supported by bearings. The hollow shaft is electrically driven, integrally with the rotor, and is used as an input shaft for the power of the hydraulic pump. A projecting shaft, which is integral with the outside case for the stator and rotor of the electric motor, is fixedly provided at the hollow shaft. The hydraulic pump is provided in the direction of the outer diameter of the projecting shaft and axially adjacent to the stator and rotor of the electric motor. The hollow shaft and the projecting shaft, provided fixedly and integrally with the hollow shaft, are supported by the bearings at three points. The hydraulic motor is provided inside the hollow shaft so as to oppose the hydraulic pump. The pressurized oil from the hydraulic pump goes from the hydraulic pump through the rotating hollow shaft and the integrated projecting shaft, to the external case of the electric motor and is further sent from the external case to the hydraulic motor.
However, in the above-described conventional hydraulic variable speed electric motor, the hydraulic pump is placed axially adjacent to the stator and the rotor of the electric motor; therefore, the length of the hydraulic variable speed electric motor is great. In addition, the pressurized oil from the hydraulic pump is sent through the rotating hollow shaft and the integrated projecting shaft and is sent from the external case to the hydraulic motor; therefore, the hydraulic variable speed electric motor similarly has a great length. Further, the hollow shaft and the integrated projecting shaft are supported by the bearings at three points, making the center shaft core difficult to access and a large clearance between the external case and the rotating integrated projecting shaft is necessary. For this reason, the leakage of the pressurized oil from the clearance is increased. The charging circuit is positioned at the outside; therefore, the space is required, and the external shape and appearance become larger. In addition, as the horsepower control or the torque control is carried out by a controlling device from another machine or device, it is necessary to provide a space for installing the controlling device other than in the machine. In addition, it is necessary to connect the electric hydraulic hybrid motor and the controlling device, and there is a disadvantage of the structure being complicated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is made in order to eliminate the disadvantages of the above-described conventional art, and its object is to provide an electric hydraulic hybrid motor, a control device, and a control method for the same motor, which is designed to be small in size by housing a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor in the stator of the electric motor and which has excellent performance and controllability.
The electric hydraulic hybrid motor relating to the present invention is an electric hydraulic hybrid motor provided with a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor to the interior of a rotor of an electric motor, and is characterized by including: an
