Abstract

A high-pressure pump comprises a cam ring 7, a rotary piston 6 with radial sliding-vanes 8, and a movable cheek plate 10, and preferably also a cheek plate 4 integral with the housing 1, which plates are made of a silicon- rich alloy and manufactured by vacuum die-casting. This alloy is said to have a satisfactory structure, wear-resistance and strength. Preferably, the movable cheek plate has an axial seal 21 on the outer side thereof to define an area that is subject to the pressure of working fluid in an outlet chamber 20. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION High Pressure Pumps The invention relates to high pressure pumps suitable for power-assisted steering systems for motor vehicles.
The invention provides a high pressure pump comprising a housing, a cam ring mounted inside the housing, a rotary piston with radial slots fitted with movable operating slides in close contact with a cam ring, and at least one control plate of a silicon-rich alloy manufactured by a vacuum diecasting process.
The manufacture of the control plate from a silicon-rich alloy.by vacuum die-casting leads to a homogeneous structure with a few pinholes and a wear-resistant surface. Surprisingly, it can withstand the working pressure on the delivery side. Control plates manufactured in this way are cheap to produce, giving also saving in weight.
The pump housing is preferably made as a casting, avoiding undercuts, and preferably of a silicon-rich alloy and incorporating a control plate on the drive side of the pump. To limit pressure equalisation, the pressure bearing area is advantageously reduced by the use of an axial seal fitted on the discharge side of the control plate. In this way the hydraulic pressure is equalized at the frontal gap, thus preventing an overloading of this control plate.
Drawing: The drawing shows an axial section through a vane pump according to the invention.
A pump housing 1 is provided with stiffening ribs 1A, and is made from a silicon-rich alloy by a vacuum die-casting process. A control plate 4 on the drive side has oil channels 2,3 and 2A,3A and forms an integral part of the housing. Inside the housing 1, a drive shaft 5 is connected to a rotor 6 via a bevel gear. The rotor 6 comprises a number of radial slots, not shown in the drawing, in which radially movable operating slides 8 contact a cam ring 7. A loose control plate 10 of the same alloy as the housing 1 is supported against the cam ring 7, and is provided with pressure openings 11, 11A and partly-annular oil channels 13, 13A for the undersides of the operating slides 8.Delivery chambers (not shown) between the operating slides 8, the rotor 6 and the cam ring 7 are in communication with an oil tank (not shown) via suction chambers 15, 15A and a suction connection 17. The compressed oil delivered by the slides 8 flows through the pressure openings 11, 1 1A into a pressure chamber 20 in communiccation with an outlet connection 18. Cast into the control plate 10 is a groove for a sealing ring 21. This sealing ring 21 encircles a certain pressure area on the control plate 10 acted upon by discharge pressure, thus preventing the control plate 10 from bending excessively under high pump pressures.
The discharge pressure acting upon the control plate 10 has the effect of equalizing the axial play as well as equalizing the inside pressure acting upon the control plate 10 from the side of the rotor.
The required wear resistance of the loose control plate 10 and of the control plate 4 forming an integral part with the housing 1 is achieved by the relatively high silicon content of 12 to 20%. Rapid cooling results in a fine separating out of silicon crystals creates a thin surface barrier with high wear resistance.
Despite the fact that these pump components have to be manufactured to very small tolerances, it is possible to utilize control plates or an integral control surface produced by vacuum die-casting without expensive finishing operations being required. Since the fiatness of the control plate can be within 0.1 mm in its unworked state, the machining allowance on the control surface may be kept to the minimum. Thus the surface retains its fine structure and thereby its wear resistance.
1. A high pressure pump comprising a housing, a cam ring mounted inside the housing, a rotary piston with radial slots fitted with movable operating slides in close contact with a cam ring, and at least one control plate of a silicon-rich alloy manufactured by a vacuum die-casting process.
2. A high pressure pump according to claim 1 in which the control of silicon-rich alloy plate is on the discharge side of the pump.
3. A high pressure pump according to claim 1 and 2, in which a side of the control plate facing a pressure chamber has a pressure area limited by a sealing ring.
4. A high pressure pump according to any preceding claim in which a control plate on the drive side of the pump is an integral part of the pump housing and manufactured by a vacuum die-casting process of a silicon-rich alloy.
5. A high pressure pump as herein described with reference to the drawing.
