Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a gear pump according to the preamble of claim 1, a gear pump according to the preamble of
  • Claim 6 and a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, and / or an internal combustion engine for performing the method and / or with the gear pump according to claim 17.
  • the gear pump can be designed, for example, as an internal gear pump, in which at least one externally toothed gear meshes with at least one internally toothed gear.
  • Such an internal gear pump is usually driven via the internal gear.
  • a gear pump as an external gear pump, in which at least one externally toothed gear is in meshing engagement with at least one further externally toothed gear.
  • the external gear pump is driven by means of at least one of these external gear wheels.
  • the oil or the liquid to be pumped is conveyed by means of the tooth gaps between the individual teeth of the gear wheels. These tooth gaps form delivery chambers, by means of which the liquid to be delivered is conveyed in the direction of rotation of the respective gear wheel.
  • a gear machine with an engine results from at least two gear paths, the gear wheels of which are guided with their hubs on at least two shafts rotatably mounted in the housing.
  • the driven gearwheels of the at least two pairs of gearwheels are arranged together on one of the shafts and are non-rotatably coupled to this shaft via an external toothing formed on this shaft and an internal toothing formed in the hubs of the driven gearwheels.
  • the external toothing of the shaft here consists of at least two toothed parts which are spaced apart from one another and have a tooth offset, which are each assigned to one of the driven gearwheels. In this way, it is easily and reliably ensured that the gearwheels are fixed on the common shaft offset from one another by half a tooth pitch.
  • the publication GB 2 443 089 A which is considered to be the closest prior art, discloses a gear pump with two gearwheels arranged one behind the other, seen in the axial direction, inside a housing, the one gearwheel being displaceable relative to the first gearwheel by means of an eccentric arrangement.
  • Such a gear pump is also in the publications DE 1 231 563 A and GB 2 313 411 A disclosed.
  • a method for operating a gear pump, in particular for conveying oil in an oil circuit of a vehicle is proposed, a delivery device having at least two gear wheels arranged in a housing, in particular externally toothed or designed as spur gears, being provided, by means of the gear wheels a liquid to be pumped can be conveyed from at least one housing inlet to at least one housing outlet, and wherein the gearwheels, viewed in the axial direction, are arranged one behind the other.
  • an actuating device is provided by means of which the gearwheels are rotated relative to one another and / or displaced relative to one another depending on the pressure conditions in the interior of the housing, in particular depending on the suction vacuum at the housing inlet and / or depending on the liquid counterpressure at the housing outlet.
  • a fixing device by means of which at least one gear wheel, which forms an actuating gear wheel, is fixed on the housing such that it can be displaced and / or rotated relative to at least one other gear wheel.
  • the actuating device has at least one spring element as a prestressing element, by means of which the adjusting gear can be prestressed into a basic position.
  • the operation of the gear pump is optimized in a simple and effective manner, since the gear wheels are now rotated relative to one another and / or displaced relative to one another depending on the pressure conditions in the interior of the housing.
  • the pressure conditions inside the housing can be used to reliably determine whether a particularly high suction power of the gear pump and thus a particularly high delivery rate of the gear pump is currently required or not.
  • the gear wheels can then be rotated and / or displaced relative to one another in such a way, for example, that the delivery capacity of the gear pump is particularly high or the amplitudes of the pressure pulsations of the gear pump are as low as possible.
  • the gears can also be shifted to intermediate positions, which ensure sufficient delivery and at the same time reduced amplitudes of the pressure pulsations.
  • the gearwheels When viewed in the axial direction, the gearwheels can be arranged at a defined gap distance from one another in the housing. However, it is preferred if the gears arranged one behind the other are in contact with one another in order to realize a particularly compact construction.
  • the gearwheels are preferably arranged in the housing such that their axes of rotation are aligned essentially congruently or parallel to one another, in order to make the gearwheel pump particularly simple and effective.
  • the gearwheels are further preferably rotated axially relative to one another and / or displaced relative to one another in the radial direction by means of the adjusting device as a function of the pressure conditions in the interior of the housing. In this way, the absorbency and the amplitudes of the pressure pulsations of the gear pump can be easily and effectively adjusted.
  • the gearwheels have an essentially identical radial outer contour.
  • the gearwheels are then arranged in alignment with one another in a basic position, seen in the axial direction. If the liquid back pressure at the housing outlet falls below at least a defined minimum value, the gearwheels are shifted from a position not corresponding to the basic position into the basic position by means of the adjusting device. In this basic position, the absorbency or suction power of the gear pump is greatest. By shifting the gearwheels into the basic position, it is reliably ensured that the delivery capacity of the gearwheel pump is at a maximum.
  • this basic position of the gearwheels is advantageous, for example, when starting an internal combustion engine of the vehicle, since the oil pressure is built up particularly quickly and air bubbles are quickly broken down.
  • the liquid counterpressure at the housing outlet is particularly low.
  • the basic position in an oil circuit of a vehicle at low speeds of the gear pump and high oil temperatures is advantageous since, despite the low viscosity oil, so-called gap losses are better compensated for by the oil flowing between the delivery chambers and in the bearing points of the pump and the internal combustion engine. In this operating situation, the liquid back pressure at the housing outlet is also particularly low.
  • the gearwheels arranged in the basic position are rotated relative to one another and / or displaced relative to one another by means of the adjusting device. In this way, the amplitudes of the pressure pulsations are reduced if the maximum absorbency or suction force of the gear pump is not required.
  • the gearwheels are preferably shifted to a maximum position in which the gearwheels are arranged rotated relative to one another by half a tooth pitch. In this maximum position, the amplitudes of the pressure pulsations are particularly low.
  • the liquid back pressure at the housing outlet is usually particularly high in an oil circuit of a vehicle at higher speeds of the gear pump.
  • a gear pump in particular for conveying oil in an oil circuit of a vehicle, is also proposed, with a delivery device which has at least two gear wheels arranged in a housing, in particular externally toothed and / or designed as spur gears, whereby by means of a liquid to be conveyed can be conveyed from the gearwheels from at least one housing inlet to at least one housing outlet, and the gearwheels, viewed in the axial direction, in particular with a defined gap distance, are arranged one behind the other.
  • an actuating device is provided by means of which the gear wheels can be rotated relative to one another and / or displaced relative to one another depending on the pressure conditions in the interior of the housing, in particular depending on the suction vacuum at the housing inlet and / or depending on the liquid counterpressure at the housing outlet.
  • a fixing device by means of which at least one gear wheel, which forms an actuating gear wheel, is fixed on the housing such that it can be displaced and / or rotated relative to at least one other gear wheel.
  • the gearwheels can be rotated and / or displaced relative to one another in a particularly simple manner.
  • the adjusting device has at least one prestressing element, by means of which the adjusting gearwheel can be prestressed into a basic position.
  • the adjusting gear can be easily and reliably shifted into the basic position, since it is pressed or pretensioned into this basic position by means of the pretensioning element.
  • the biasing element is preferably formed by a spring element, in particular by a torsion spring, in order to make the biasing element functionally reliable and simple.
  • the prestressing element further preferably interacts with a stop, in particular with at least one stop element, which prevents rotation and / or displacement of the adjusting gear arranged in the basic position in at least one defined direction. This can result in unwanted twisting and / or displacement of the adjusting gear in at least one defined direction can be reliably prevented.
  • the adjusting gear arranged in the basic position rotates and / or rotates relative to the at least one other gear in the housing at defined pressure conditions in the housing, starting from the basic position.
  • the biasing element is then tensioned with the build-up of a restoring force.
  • the rotation and / or displacement of the gear wheels relative to one another can be implemented particularly simply and reliably as a function of the pressure conditions in the interior of the housing.
  • the gear pump is therefore particularly cost-effective.
  • a stop element is preferably provided, by means of which the displacement and / or rotation of the adjusting gear arranged in the basic position can be limited to a defined dimension. In this way, it is reliably and simply ensured that the actuating gear can only shift to a defined extent relative to the at least one other gear.
  • the gear pump can be designed, for example, as an internal gear pump, the at least two gear wheels being formed by externally toothed gear wheels which are in meshing engagement with at least one internally toothed gear element.
  • the internally toothed gear element or an externally toothed gear element, which does not form an actuating gear, preferably forms a drive gear for driving the internal gear pump in order to be able to drive the gear pump in a particularly simple manner.
  • the fixing device preferably has a fixing element, by means of which the adjusting gear is fixed to the housing such that it can be displaced relative to the housing, the adjusting gear being rotatably fixed to the fixing element while forming a first axis of rotation, the fixing element essentially forming a arranged parallel to the first axis of rotation, the second axis of rotation is rotatably fixed to the housing, and wherein the adjusting gear can be displaced relative to the housing by rotating the fixing element. That way the adjusting gear can be shifted and / or rotated in a particularly simple and reliable manner relative to the at least one other gear. It is preferably provided that the fixing element is essentially Z-shaped in order to make the fixing element functionally optimized.
  • the biasing element is further preferably tensioned by rotating the fixing element in a first direction of rotation.
