Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suction jet pump with amaschinestrahldüse, a mixing tube, a suction port, a suction line connected thereto and a pot in which at least a portion of the mixing tube is arranged.
  • the suction jet pump serves to convey fuel within a fuel tank or from a fuel tank in a surge pot disposed within the fuel tank.
  • fuel tanks have various shapes. With the adaptation of the fuel tank to the motor vehicle using the available space created fuel tank, which are divided into several chambers.
  • suction jet pumps are arranged at the bottom of the chambers or the areas of the fuel tank, from which the fuel is to be conveyed to the delivery unit. With the arrangement of the suction of the suction jet pump at the bottom of the fuel tank, the suction jet pump is always in the fuel and is therefore always ready for use. Such suction jet pumps are characterized by a good efficiency out.
  • the funding factor that is, the ratio of sum beam to propellant jet, is at least 7.
  • the disadvantage here is that with the fuel line to the suction jet pump and the sum of the suction jet pump line two lines are required, which must be installed and fixed in the fuel tank.
  • suction suction jet pumps which are arranged in the region of the conveyor unit. From the suction jet pump leads a suction line in the area from which the fuel is to be conveyed. To generate the necessary negative pressure in the suction line, the suction jet pump has a special jet nozzle.
  • the outlet opening of the propulsion jet nozzle is designed as a slot.
  • the propulsion jet is fanned out after emerging from the propulsion jet nozzle.
  • the fanned out propulsion jet closes the mixing tube, whereby the necessary negative pressure is generated in order to be able to suck in the fuel via the relatively long intake line.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is the low delivery factor of the suction suction jet pump, which is approximately at 2. This low conveying factor is due to the fanning of the propulsion jet after leaving themaschinedüse.
  • a suction jet pump see for example WO 2004/018864 A , which is arranged with the outlet end of the mixing tube in a pot, so that the conveying medium located in the pot seals the mixing tube end against the atmosphere.
  • a negative pressure will be generated at the mixing tube inlet, which contributes to the improvement of the suction power.
  • the suction power is not achieved, which suggests that the liquid closure of the Mischrohraustritts is not always guaranteed. This can be caused, for example, by the fact that there is too little amount of the pumped liquid in the pot.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a suction suction jet pump with an improved delivery factor, the suction power is ensured even under unfavorable circumstances.
  • the suction jet pump should also be simple and compact and easy to assemble.
  • the object is achieved in that the bottom of the pot has a deviating from a plane surface shape.
  • the conveyed medium emerging at high speed from the mixing tube is split or swirled.
  • This turbulence of the medium ensures a permanent and reliable liquid closure of the outlet opening of the mixing tube projecting into the pot, so that a sufficient negative pressure can form in the suction jet pump, which makes it possible to suck in the medium to be conveyed over a long distance.
  • the deviating from a plane surface shape is a depression in the form of a trough or pocket in the bottom region of the pot.
  • the pot bottom is given with arranged on the bottom of the pot ribs.
  • the ribs can be integrally formed on the bottom of the pot, when the pot is made by injection molding.
  • the costs for the production of the recess or the ribs can be reduced if they are arranged in the region of the outlet opening of the mixing tube.
  • the deviating from a plane surface shape is a funnel-shaped bottom surface which extends over the entire bottom portion.
  • the pot is connected in a further embodiment with the suction jet pump.
  • the pot can be integrally formed with the suction jet pump, preferably on the mixing tube.
  • the production of the suction jet pump according to the invention is particularly simple if the pot is connected by means of a latching or plug connection with the suction jet pump. In this way, the pot forms a unit with the suction jet pump.
  • the suction jet pump can thereby be used at any location.
  • pot and suction jet pump designed advantageous if both the suction jet pump and the pot latching or plug-in elements, which engage with each other, are present.
  • the pot and the suction jet pump can be connected in a particularly simple manner if the pot has a groove into which a spring formed on the mixing tube engages.
  • the suction jet pump can convey over the upper edge into the baffle, wherein it is advantageously arranged in the region of the upper edge.
  • the previously provided suction in the bottom of the swirl pot is no longer necessary. This also eliminates the valve in the bottom region of the baffle pot, which closes the opening caused by the suction jet pump when the suction jet pump is not in operation.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly simple if the pot is formed by another component or integrated in this component.
  • the pot can be arranged on the swirl pot.
  • the pot is here either formed on the swirl pot or it is attached to the swirl pot.
  • the swirl pot used in this case is particularly simple, if a part of the soil is divided, so that this divided area forming the pot.
  • the swirl pot can have on its outer wall an Anformung, which forms the pot for the suction jet pump.
  • the advantage of these embodiments is that only the suction jet pump must be mounted.
  • Fig. 1 is a two chambers 2, 3 existing fuel tank 1 is shown.
  • a delivery unit 4 consisting of a swirl pot 5 and a fuel pump 6 arranged therein, fixed. Via a feed line 7, the funded by the fuel pump 6 fuel is passed to an internal combustion engine, not shown.
  • a pot 8 is attached on the outer wall of the swirl pot 5, a pot 8 is attached.
  • a suction jet pump 9 is arranged to the pot 8, that the mixing tube 10 projects into the pot.
  • fuel is supplied to the suction jet pump 9 from the fuel pump 6.
  • Another line 12 extends from the suction jet pump 9 into the other chamber 2. Via the line 12, fuel is conveyed from the chamber 2 directly into the swirl pot 5.
  • suction jet pump 9 consists of a propulsion jet nozzle 13, a mixing tube 14, the suction pipe 12 and a pot 8, wherein the pot 8 formed as a lid on Upper edge of the surge pot 5 is arranged.
  • the pot 8 can also be arranged as a separate component on a capless swirl pot 5.
  • a propulsion jet of the suction jet pump 9 is supplied.
  • a check valve in the propulsion jet line seals it against an idling.
  • the propulsion jet exits through the propulsion jet nozzle 13 and into the mixing tube 14.
  • the intake line 11 opens into the suction jet pump 9.
  • the suction jet pump 9 is arranged vertically with respect to the axial extension of the mixing tube 14. Furthermore, the suction jet pump 9 is arranged to the pot 8, that the outlet opening 15 of the mixing tube 14 is immersed in the pot 8.
  • the propellant jet passes from the propulsion jet nozzle 13 via the mixing tube 14 into the pot 8.
  • the pot 8 has a bottom 16 with a pocket 17. Upon impact of the jet on the pocket 17, the jet is swirled, thereby sealing the outlet opening 15 and it to a liquid closure in the mixing tube 14 and thus in the suction jet pump 9 comes. Due to the now complete closure of the mixing tube 14 of the propellant jet generates a much greater negative pressure, which in turn is sufficient to promote a larger amount of fuel over a relatively large distance by means of the suction pipe 11 into the pot 8.
  • the suction jet pump 9 with the pot 8 in FIG. 3a differs from the execution FIG. 2 only in the bottom region of the pot 8.
  • the bottom portion has integrally formed on the pot 8 ribs 18. These ribs 18 have the same effect as the pocket 17 in FIG. 2 , Through them, the jet is so swirled that it comes to the liquid closure of the outlet opening 15 of the mixing tube 14.
  • Both the bag 17 in FIG. 2 as well as the ribs are each formed only in the area of the mixing tube 14 and not over the entire bottom area.
  • FIG. 3b shows FIG. 3b a pot 8 having a funnel-shaped bottom surface 19 which extends over the entire bottom region.
  • suction jet pump 9 is connected to the pot 8 via a plug connection.
  • a spring 20 is formed, while the inner wall of the pot 8 has a groove 21 at one point.
  • the spring 20 is inserted into the groove 21.
  • the suction jet pump 9 is positioned to the pot 8.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the attachments of the suction jet pump 9 on the pot 8.
  • locking elements in the form of locking hooks 22 are formed in the region of the outlet opening, which cooperate with correspondingly formed locking points 23 which are integrally formed on the pot 8. It is also conceivable to provide the latching hooks 22 on the pot 8, while the mixing tube 14 has the necessary latching points 23.
  • the pot 8 is not a separate component, but part of the baffle 5 of the conveyor unit 4.
  • a wall 25 is formed, which forms the pot 8 together with the wall 26 of the baffle 5.
  • the mixing tube 14 protrudes with its outlet opening 16 into the pot 8.
