  • WO 2015/074700 A1 discloses a typical variable lubricant vane pump for providing pressurized lubricant for an Internal combustion engine.
  • the variable lubricant vane pump is provided with a static pump housing, a shiftable control ring and a rotatable pump rotor comprising several rotor vanes rotating within the shiftable control ring.
  • the control ring is shiftable with respect to the pump rotor to thereby vary the eccentricity of the control ring with respect to the pump rotor for controlling the displacement and, as a result, the volumetric pump performance.

  • the control valve allows providing different pump outlet set-pressure values.
  • variable lubricant pump Since the variable lubricant pump is mechanically driven by the engine, variations of the engine rotational speed cause variations of the volumetric pump performance. These pump performance variations are compensated by a closed-loop control of the eccentricity of the control ring via the control valve.
  • the closed-loop control of the control ring eccentricity can cause low-frequency oscillations of the control ring, In particular oscillations with frequencies in the range of 5 Hz to 50 Hz.
  • the control ring oscillations cause fluctuations of the pump outlet pressure and can reduce the pump efficiency.

  • the variable lubricant vane pump according to the invention is also provided with a hydraulic restrictor element restricting the throughput of the pilot chamber load line and thereby restricting the total flow rate into/out of the pilot chamber. Since the control ring movement changes the pilot chamber volume, a restriction of the hydraulic flow rate into/out of the pilot chamber damps the control ring movement in both directions.

  • the pilot chamber load line can be a bore within the pump housing.
  • the restrictor element is provided with a hydraulic cross section in the range of 0.25 mm 2 to 4 mm 2 . This allows a very efficient damping of the control ring movement.
