Definitions
- the invention relates to a vane pump, in particular a vacuum vane pump for brake booster systems in motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a vane pump in particular a vacuum vane pump for brake booster systems in motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a pump is known for example from the DE-A-3730685 ,
- Such vane pumps are known.
- a radial transverse bore is mounted in the rotor bearing portion, which brings the oil supply opening with a bearing pocket, which is opposite to the oil supply port in combination.
- the radial transverse bore in the rotor will establish an oil connection, which may lead to the oil throughput of a vacuum pump being too high.
- the transverse bore can only be produced reliably with not too small transverse bores (for example at least 3 mm in diameter).
- a vane pump in particular vane vacuum pump for brake booster systems in motor vehicles, with a housing, a rotor and at least one wing, wherein the rotor is mounted with a rotor bearing portion in the housing and the housing in the storage area has an example radial oil supply opening, wherein the rotor bearing portion in the Oil supply port of the housing a flattened in secant cut (see DE 37 30 685 ) or a bore in the secant direction or a radial blind bore, which is connected to a second angularly offset radial blind bore, or has a radial countersunk bore.
- a known vane pump is characterized in that the flattening can be formed as a rectangular notch or notch with V-section or notch with a semicircular cross section. This has the advantage that over the size and shape of the notch, the dosage of the amount of oil from the oil supply port to the storage bag can be determined without manufacturing problematic dimensions such as very fine holes are needed.
- the pamphlets WO 2004 083604 and DE 26 22 406 also show oil supply devices.
- a vane pump is shown in which at least one second flattening can be arranged at any angle offset to the first on the circumference of the rotor.
- This has the advantage that you can additionally arrange any second additional oil supply at any rotational angle distance to the first and is not dependent on the 180 degree offset oil supply over the prior art.
- the oil supply can thus be optimally adjusted to the corresponding desired blocking positions in the rotor.
- Another vane pump is characterized in that the flattening can be introduced into a sintering rotor or introduced into a plastic rotor. This has the advantage that without additional holes or thin-walled cores in the corresponding molds to be attached to a cylinder body flattening is very easy to produce in the original molding process.
- a vane pump is shown in which instead of the at least second flattening on the rotor, at least one second supply opening for the oil in the housing can be arranged at any desired angular offset from the first oil supply opening.
- the object is achieved by the features of claim 1, namely by a vane pump, wherein the flattening or the radial countersink hole connects the oil supply opening in the housing and the bearing pocket in the housing in the axial direction.
- the oil supply opening and the bearing pocket are arranged in different axial regions of the housing and can be connected to one another via an axially wide flattening or a correspondingly axially wide countersink bore. This has the advantage that, if necessary, the rotation angle for the oil supply can be severely limited.
- a pot-shaped housing component 1 is shown in three dimensions.
- the pot-shaped housing component 1 has a bearing portion region 3, in which the rotor is mounted.
- a lubricating oil supply port 5 is arranged within the bearing portion portion 3, a lubricating oil supply port 5 is arranged.
- an axially extending bearing pocket 7 is arranged by a certain angular range relative to the oil supply opening 5, which supplies the rotating here in the bearing rotor with lubricating oil and ensures the supply of oil into the pump room.
- FIG. 2 the rotor 9 is shown.
- the rotor 9 has a large cylindrical portion 11 with a slot 13 in which a wing, not shown here, is rotationally driven by the rotor.
- the rotor 9 furthermore has a smaller-diameter bearing section region 15, which is rotatably mounted in the housing bearing section region 3.
- a flattened secant in the slot 17 is arranged, in which a vent hole 19 opens.
- FIG. 2b It can be seen that the vent hole 19 opens on the end face 21 of the rotor bearing portion 15. Through the vent hole 19, the flattening 17 can be connected to the atmospheric pressure of the crankcase of an internal combustion engine.
- the rotor 9 is arranged in the housing part 1, so that the function of the flattening 17 is clearly visible.
- the flattening 17 connects the oil feed opening 5 with the bearing pocket 7, so that the bearing pocket 7 can be supplied with lubricating oil once per revolution via the oil feed opening 5 in this angular position.
- the duration of the oil supply and thus the dosage of the amount of oil can be made.
- the vent hole 19 ensures that the residual vacuum in the vacuum pump does not continue to suck lubricating oil through the bearing pocket 7 in the pump, but that degrades the vacuum through the vent 19.
- an oil overfilling is avoided at standstill and ensures accurate oil dosage during rotation of the rotor on the dimensioning of the flattening 17.
- FIGS. 4 to 8 continue to be presented ways to realize an oil supply in the lubricating oil groove of the rotor only once per revolution.
- FIG. 4 a cut rotor 22 is shown in a cut housing part 20.
- the housing 20 opens an oil supply line 24, wherein the direction of oil flow is represented by an arrow 26.
- a radial blind bore 30 which opens into a radial blind bore 32, which is mounted at an angle to the blind bore 30, a connection to a Schmierölnut 28 is shown.
- the blind bore 30 can be connected to a lubricating oil groove 34 via a right-angled blind bore 36.
- the shows FIG. 4 in that also by the arrangement of two angular offset blind bores in the rotor an oil supply can be limited to one revolution of the rotor.
- the dosage of the lubricating oil quantity can be realized via the diameter of the holes.
- FIG. 5 is another possibility of a once per revolution realizable oil supply shown.
- a secantially guided bore 42 is arranged, which connects a opening in a housing part 44 lubricating oil line 46 with a Schmierölnut 48.
- the oil dose can be determined by the diameter of the bore 42.
- FIG. 6 is in a rotor 50, a recessed bore 52 is introduced, which connects a lubricating oil bore 54 within a housing 56 with a Schmierölnut 58.
- the dimensioning of the oil supply takes place, for example, over the diameter of the countersink bore 52.
- FIG. 7 a connection between an oil supply hole 64 and a lubricating oil groove 68 is shown in the axial direction.
- a rotor 60 has a countersink bore 62, which connects an oil feed bore 64 within a housing 66 with a lubricating oil groove 68.
- the Schmierölnut 68 and the oil supply hole 64 are here separated from each other in the axial direction by a web 70 and are connected only once per revolution through the Ansenkbohrung 62.
- About the dosage of the oil supply by the dimensioning of the countersink 62 has already been spoken in the previous descriptions.
- FIG. 8 Another possibility of oil supply is shown once per revolution.
- the oil supply line is arranged here axially as a bore 80 in a rotor 82 and opens into a radial blind bore 84.
- the radial blind bore 84 opens into a Schmierölnut 86 of a housing portion 88.
- the oil metering over the dimension of the bore 84 can be realized.
- the duration of the oil supply over a certain range of angles can be influenced, as in FIG. 8a can be seen. Either the angular range in which the supply line 84 is connected to the Schmierölnut 86, determined by the width of the Schmierölnut 86 in the direction of rotation or by an additional counterbore 90 at the mouth of the lubricating oil bore 84.
- the intermittent lubrication of a vacuum pump is based on the idea of a passage and a blocking position.
- the design is realized as a continuous transverse bore in the rotor with an oil supply 2x per revolution.
- this design is only possible with reliable cross-bores (at least 3 mm in diameter).
- the idea of the invention is the transverse bore, which is continuous in the rotor represented in the prior art, for example, to replace by a lateral flattening on the rotor.
- this lateral flattening may be completely sintered. Due to the flattening, the oil supply can be reduced to once per revolution.
- the supplied amount of oil is controlled by the size of the flattening or the dimensioning of the other possibilities by means of special holes, as described above. If an oil quantity supplied once per revolution is too small, the feed is to be distributed flexibly around the circumference of the bearing and thus also possible several times. With the flexible distribution can be optimally responded to the locked positions of the rotor, with blocking position means that an oil supply from the engine to the pump room is not possible (should be at standstill of the internal combustion engine the case). Thus, the amount of residual oil in the pump can be reduced to a low volume.
- the targeted position of the blocking position can be reacted to the position of the wing, for example, when turning off the vacuum pump and thus to the oil distribution on the wing at a standstill so that the restart of the wing is not overloaded by displacing too large an amount of oil.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flügelzellenpumpe, insbesondere eine Vakuumflügelzellenpumpe für Bremskraftverstärkersysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen nach dem oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine solche Pumpe ist bekannt z.B. aus der
Derartige Flügelzellenpumpen sind bekannt. Dabei wird im Rotorlagerabschnitt eine radiale Querbohrung angebracht, welche die Ölzufuhröffnung mit einer Lagertasche, welche der Ölzufuhröffnung gegenüber liegt, in Verbindung bringt. Dadurch wird zweimal pro Umdrehung, also nach 180 Grad, die radiale Querbohrung im Rotor eine Ölverbindung herstellen, was dazu führen kann, dass der Öldurchsatz einer Vakuumpumpe zu hoch ist. Das führt zu dem Nachteil, dass die in der Pumpe befindliche Restölmenge zu hoch wird. Die Querbohrung ist aus Fertigungsgründen prozesssicher nur mit nicht zu kleinen Querbohrungen (beispielsweise mindestens 3 mm Durchmesser) herstellbar.Such vane pumps are known. In this case, a radial transverse bore is mounted in the rotor bearing portion, which brings the oil supply opening with a bearing pocket, which is opposite to the oil supply port in combination. As a result, twice a revolution, that is to say after 180 degrees, the radial transverse bore in the rotor will establish an oil connection, which may lead to the oil throughput of a vacuum pump being too high. This leads to the disadvantage that the amount of residual oil in the pump becomes too high. For reasons of production, the transverse bore can only be produced reliably with not too small transverse bores (for example at least 3 mm in diameter).
Bekannt ist eine Flügelzellenpumpe, insbesondere Flügelzellenvakuumpumpe für Bremskraftverstärkersysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen, mit einem Gehäuse, einem Rotor und mindestens einem Flügel, wobei der Rotor mit einem Rotorlagerabschnitt im Gehäuse gelagert ist und das Gehäuse im Lagerbereich eine beispielsweise radiale Ölzufuhröffnung aufweist, wobei der Rotorlagerabschnitt im Bereich der Ölzufuhröffnung des Gehäuses einen in Sekantenrichtung abgeflachten Einschnitt (siehe
Bekannt ist aus
Eine bekannte Flügelzellenpumpe zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Abflachung als Rechteckkerbe oder Kerbe mit V-Querschnitt oder Kerbe mit Halbkreisquerschnitt ausgebildet sein kann. Das hat den Vorteil, dass über Größe und Form der Kerbe die Dosierung der Ölmenge von der Ölzufuhröffnung zur Lagertasche bestimmt werden kann, ohne dass fertigungstechnisch problematische Dimensionen wie sehr feine Bohrungen benötigt werden.A known vane pump is characterized in that the flattening can be formed as a rectangular notch or notch with V-section or notch with a semicircular cross section. This has the advantage that over the size and shape of the notch, the dosage of the amount of oil from the oil supply port to the storage bag can be determined without manufacturing problematic dimensions such as very fine holes are needed.
Die Druckschriften
Weiterhin ist eine Flügelzellenpumpe dargestellt, bei welcher mindestens eine zweite Abflachung im beliebigen Winkelversatz zur ersten am Umfang des Rotors angeordnet sein kann. Das hat den Vorteil, dass man eine beliebige zweite zusätzliche Ölzufuhr in einem beliebigen Drehwinkelabstand zur ersten zusätzlich anordnen kann und nicht gegenüber dem Stand der Technik auf die 180 Grad versetzte Ölzufuhr angewiesen ist. Die Ölzufuhr kann damit optimal auf die entsprechend gewünschten Sperrstellungen im Rotor eingestellt werden.Furthermore, a vane pump is shown in which at least one second flattening can be arranged at any angle offset to the first on the circumference of the rotor. This has the advantage that you can additionally arrange any second additional oil supply at any rotational angle distance to the first and is not dependent on the 180 degree offset oil supply over the prior art. The oil supply can thus be optimally adjusted to the corresponding desired blocking positions in the rotor.
Auch ist aus
Eine weitere Flügelzellenpumpe zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Abflachung in einem Sinterrotor eingebracht oder in einem Kunststoffrotor eingebracht werden kann. Das hat den Vorteil, dass ohne zusätzliche Bohrungen oder dünnwandige Kerne in den entsprechenden Formwerkzeugen eine an einem Zylinderkörper anzubringende Abflachung sehr einfach im Urformverfahren herstellbar ist.Another vane pump is characterized in that the flattening can be introduced into a sintering rotor or introduced into a plastic rotor. This has the advantage that without additional holes or thin-walled cores in the corresponding molds to be attached to a cylinder body flattening is very easy to produce in the original molding process.
Weiterhin wird eine Flügelzellenpumpe dargestellt, bei welcher statt der mindestens zweiten Abflachung am Rotor mindestens eine zweite Zufuhröffnung für das Öl im Gehäuse im beliebigen Winkelversatz zur ersten Ölzufuhröffnung angeordnet sein kann. Das hat den Vorteil, dass über die zweite Ölzufuhrleitung ebenfalls noch mal eine zusätzliche Schmierung in die Lagertasche eingebracht werden kann, sobald die zweite Ölzufuhröffnung über die Abflachung mit der Lagertasche verbindbar ist.Furthermore, a vane pump is shown in which instead of the at least second flattening on the rotor, at least one second supply opening for the oil in the housing can be arranged at any desired angular offset from the first oil supply opening. This has the advantage that once again additional lubrication can be introduced into the bearing pocket via the second oil feed line as soon as the second oil feed opening can be connected to the bearing pocket via the flattening.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Flügelzellenpumpe darzustellen, die eine andersartige Ölzufuhr aufweist.It is an object of the invention to present a vane pump having a different type of oil supply.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1, nämlich durch eine Flügelzellenpumpe, bei welcher die Abflachung oder die radiale Ansenkbohrung die Ölzufuhröffnung im Gehäuse und die Lagertasche im Gehäuse in axialer Richtung verbindet. Das wird dadurch realisiert, dass die Ölzufuhröffnung und die Lagertasche in unterschiedlichen axialen Bereichen des Gehäuses angeordnet sind und über eine axial breite Abflachung oder eine entsprechend axial breite Ansenkungbohrung miteinander verbunden werden können. Das hat den Vorteil, dass gegebenenfalls der Drehwinkel für die Ölzufuhr stark eingeschränkt werden kann.The object is achieved by the features of

Die intermittierende Schmierung einer Vakuumpumpe geht von der Idee einer Durchgangs-und einer Sperrstellung aus. Im Stand der Technik ist die Auslegung als durchgehende Querbohrung im Rotor mit einer Ölversorgung 2x pro Umdrehung realisiert. Diese Auslegung ist aus Fertigungsgründen prozesssicher nur mit nicht zu kleinen Querbohrungen (mindestens 3 mm Durchmesser) möglich. Die Erfindungsidee ist, die Querbohrung, die durchgängig im Rotor im Stand der Technik dargestellt ist, beispielsweise durch eine seitliche Abflachung am Rotor zu ersetzten. Bei quergesinterten Rotoren ist diese seitliche Abflachung evtl. fertig gesintert beziehbar. Durch die Abflachung kann die Ölzufuhr auf einmal pro Umdrehung reduziert werden. Die zugeführte Menge an Öl wird durch die Größe der Abflachung oder die Dimensionierung der anderen Möglichkeiten mittels besonderer Bohrungen, wie vorab beschrieben, gesteuert. Sollte eine einmal pro Umdrehung zugeführte Ölmenge zu gering sein, ist die Zuführung flexibel am Umfang des Lagers zu verteilen und somit auch mehrfach möglich. Mit der flexiblen Verteilung kann optimal auf die Sperrstellungen des Rotors reagiert werden, wobei Sperrstellung bedeutet, dass eine Ölzufuhr vom Motor zum Pumpenraum nicht möglich ist (soll im Stillstand des Verbrennungsmotors der Fall sein). Damit kann die Restölmenge in der Pumpe auf ein geringes Volumen reduziert werden. Mit der gezielt angebrachten Position der Sperrstellung kann auch auf die Position des Flügels beispielsweise beim Abstellen der Vakuumpumpe und damit auf die Ölverteilung am Flügel bei Stillstand reagiert werden, damit beim Neustart der Flügel nicht durch Verdrängen einer zu großen Ölmenge überlastet wird.The intermittent lubrication of a vacuum pump is based on the idea of a passage and a blocking position. In the prior art, the design is realized as a continuous transverse bore in the rotor with an oil supply 2x per revolution. For reasons of production, this design is only possible with reliable cross-bores (at least 3 mm in diameter). The idea of the invention is the transverse bore, which is continuous in the rotor represented in the prior art, for example, to replace by a lateral flattening on the rotor. For transverse sintered rotors, this lateral flattening may be completely sintered. Due to the flattening, the oil supply can be reduced to once per revolution. The supplied amount of oil is controlled by the size of the flattening or the dimensioning of the other possibilities by means of special holes, as described above.
