Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Ölpumpenkombination für eine Brennkraftmaschine nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention is based on an oil pump combination for an internal combustion engine the features of the preamble of claim 1.

In der noch nicht veröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 100 14 368 ist eine Ölpumpenkombination für eine Brennkraftmaschine dargestellt, die aus einer in einem Ölauffanggehäuse angeordneten zweistufigen Hauptölpumpe und einer ebenfalls zweistufig ausgebildeten Turbolader- Absaugpumpe besteht, wobei letztere außen an das Ölauffanggehäuse angeflanscht ist. Beide Pumpen werden gemeinsam über ein Kettenzahnrad angetrieben.In the not yet published German patent application DE 100 14 368 is a Oil pump combination shown for an internal combustion engine, which consists of a in one Oil catch housing arranged two-stage main oil pump and a likewise consists of two-stage turbocharger suction pump, the latter outside of the Oil collection housing is flanged. Both pumps will work together over one Sprocket driven.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind weiterhin sog. Tandempumpen bekannt, bei denen im Pumpengehäuse mehrere Pumpenstufen angeordnet sind und damit beispielsweise zwei Saug- und Druckseiten zur Versorgung unterschiedlicher Verbraucher ausbildbar sind. Aus der DE 198 20 565 A1 ist beispielsweise eine Innenzahnradpumpe bekannt, bei der über eine gemeinsame Antriebswelle zwei Innenrotoren angetrieben sind. Zahnradpumpen zeichnen sich durch ein kleines Bauvolumen und eine hohe Leistungsdichte aus, sind robust und für harte Einsatzbedingungen geeignet. Nachteilig ist oft eine zu hohe Geräuschentwicklung, die bei den vorgenannten Doppelpumpen aufgrund ihrer Mehrstufigkeit besonders ausgeprägt sind.From the state of the art, so-called tandem pumps are furthermore known, in which Pump housing a plurality of pump stages are arranged and thus, for example, two Suction and pressure sides to supply different consumers can be formed. From DE 198 20 565 A1, for example, an internal gear pump is known in the Two internal rotors are driven via a common drive shaft. gear pumps are characterized by a small volume and a high power density are robust and suitable for tough conditions. The disadvantage is often too high Noise, which in the aforementioned double pumps due to their Multistage are particularly pronounced.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, die eingangs beschriebene Ölpumpenkombination hinsichtlich ihrer Geräuschentwicklung zu verbessern.The object of the invention is therefore the oil pump combination described above to improve in terms of their noise.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale.The solution of the problem is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

Dadurch, dass die Zahnradpaare der Hauptölpumpe und der Ölabsaugpumpe für die Abgasturbolader sowohl untereinander als auch zueinander drehwinkelversetzt angeordnet sind, findet eine zeitversetzte Vergrößerung bzw. Verkleinerung der Verdrängerräume statt. Die drehwinkelversetzte Anordnung der Zahnräder führt zu einer Reduzierung des Geräuschpegels, da die maximalen Geräuschamplituden der einzelnen Pumpenstufen phasenverschoben auftreten und sich somit die Maximas nicht überlagern, was wiederum zu einer Geräuschreduzierung der Ölpumpenkombination führt.The fact that the gear pairs of the main oil pump and the Ölabsaugpumpe for Exhaust gas turbocharger both with each other and each other with angular displacement are arranged, finds a time-delayed increase or decrease in the Displacement rooms instead. The rotational angle offset arrangement of the gears leads to a Reduction of the noise level, as the maximum noise amplitudes of each Pump stages out of phase and thus do not overlap the Maximas, which in turn leads to a noise reduction of the oil pump combination.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen der erfindungsgemäßen Ölpumpenkombination enthalten.In the subclaims are further advantageous embodiments and improvements contain the oil pump combination according to the invention.

Eine zur Geräuschreduzierung der Ölpumpenkombination optimaler Ausgestaltung ergibt sich, wenn die beiden Antriebszahnräder der Hauptölpumpe und der Ölabsaugpumpe für den Abgasturbolader untereinander um jeweils einen ½ Zahn und zueinander um jeweils einen ¼ Zahn drehwinkelversetzt zueinander angeordnet sind.A for noise reduction of the oil pump combination optimal design results when the two drive gears of the main oil pump and the oil suction pump for the turbocharger with each other by a ½ tooth and each other around each a ¼ tooth angle offset from each other are arranged.

Volumenstrompulsationen können weiter reduziert werden, wenn die Ausgänge von zwei Pumpenstufen zu einem gemeinsamen Ausgang zusammengeführt sind.Volume flow pulsations can be further reduced if the outputs of two Pump stages are merged into a common output.

A first Pump stage 62 is received in the housing half 54a, while a second Pump stage 64 in the housing half 54b recording takes place. Both pump stages 62, 64 are separated and sealed by an intermediate plate 66. The Housing half 54b has two inlet ports 68 and 70, wherein the inlet nozzle 68 leads to the suction side of the first pump stage 62, while the inlet nozzle 70 to Suction side of the second pump stage 64 leads. To connect the inlet connector 68 at the suction side of the first pump stage 62 is in the intermediate plate 66 a with the Eintrittsstutzen 68 corresponding opening 69 is provided, which by means of a Sealing ring 71 is sealed relative to the second pump stage 64. The two Inlet stubs 68, 70 are connected to Ölabsaugleitungen, not shown, the each lead to a drive shaft of an exhaust gas turbocharger and over which the Drive shafts supplied lubricating oil is sucked. The housing half 54a is provided with a Outlet opening 72 provided with the help of which via the two pump stages 62 and 64 extracted oil is returned to the oil sump of the oil pan 2 again. These are the two pressure sides of the pump stages 62 and 64 via a in the intermediate plate 66th arranged breakthrough 74 connected to each other. The two on a common Axis 76 arranged drive gears 78 and 82 are analogous to the Drive gears 30 and 40 of the main oil pump 10 offset by a ½ tooth arranged to each other, d. H. the teeth of the drive gear 78 are connected to the Tooth gaps of the drive gear 82 brought into coincidence, and vice versa. Analogous to the two output gears 80 and 84 of the first and second pump stage the Ölabsaugpumpe 54 offset by half a tooth to each other. The Drive gear 78 is shrunk on the axis 76, while the drive gear 82 is rotatably mounted on the axle 76 via a pass / spring connection. That up an output gear 80 arranged on an axle 86 is simply plugged onto this while the output gear 84 is shrunk on the axle 86.

Betrachtet man die Gesamtanordnung der Zahnradpaare der Hauptölpumpe 10 und der Ölabsaugpumpe 54 für die Abgasturbolader so wird aus Fig. 7 ersichtlich, dass die Antriebszahnräder 30, 40 gegenüber den Antriebszahnrädern 78 und 82 der Ölabsaugpumpe 54 ebenfalls drehwinkelversetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall sind die Antriebszahnräder 30, 40 der Hauptölpumpe 10 gegenüber den Antriebszahnrädern 78, 82 der Ölabsaugpumpe 54 um einen ¼ Zahn zueinander drehwinkelversetzt angeordnet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Zahnräder der Hauptölpumpe 10 und der Ölabsaugpumpe 54 für die Abgasturbolader elf Zähne auf. Damit ergibt sich eine drehwinkelversetzte Anordnung der beiden Antriebszahnräder 30 und 40 der Hauptölpumpe 10 und der beiden Antriebszahnräder 78 und 82 der Ölabsaugpumpe 54 von ca. 16,4° untereinander, während die Antriebszahnräder 30, 40 gegenüber den Antriebszahnrädern 78, 82 um ca. 8,2° drehwinkelversetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Durch eine derartige Anordnung der vier Zahnradsätze treten die periodischen Zahneingriffsimpulse phasenverschoben auf, so daß sich die maximalen Geräuschamplituden des jeweiligen Zahneingriffs nicht überlagern, was zu einer Geräuschreduzierung der Ölpumpenkombination insgesamt führt. Considering the overall arrangement of the gear pairs of the main oil pump 10 and the Ölabsaugpumpe 54 for the exhaust gas turbocharger so it is apparent from Fig. 7 that the Drive gears 30, 40 opposite the drive gears 78 and 82 of the Ölabsaugpumpe 54 are also arranged offset angle to each other. In this Case are the drive gears 30, 40 of the main oil pump 10 with respect to the Drive gears 78, 82 of Ölabsaugpumpe 54 by a ¼ tooth to each other arranged offset in angle of rotation. In the present embodiment, the Gears of the main oil pump 10 and the Ölabsaugpumpe 54 for the exhaust gas turbocharger eleven Teeth on. This results in a rotational angle offset arrangement of the two Drive gears 30 and 40 of the main oil pump 10 and the two drive gears 78 and 82 of the Ölabsaugpumpe 54 of about 16.4 ° with each other, while the Drive gears 30, 40 opposite the drive gears 78, 82 by about 8.2 ° are arranged offset in angle to each other. By such an arrangement of the four Gear sets, the periodic tooth engagement pulses occur out of phase, so that the maximum noise amplitudes of the respective tooth engagement do not overlap, resulting in a noise reduction of the oil pump combination overall.

Als weitere Maßnahmen zur Geräuschreduzierung in der Hauptölpumpe 10 sind, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt, im Gehäuseteil 10a im Bereich des Zahnradsatzes 30, 32 sog. Druckentlastungsnieren 88 vorgesehen. Darüber hinaus ist im Bereich der ineinander kämmenden Zahnräder 30 und 32 ein Mittelsteg 90 vorgesehen, dessen obere Begrenzungskante 90a im wesentlichen in seiner Verlängerung durch die Mitte der beiden Lager 92 und 94 für die Achsen 48 und 50 verläuft. Oberhalb der oberen Begrenzungskante 90a sind zwei zu den Lagern 92 und 94 führende Nuten 96 und 98 vorgesehen, die einerseits die Lagerstellen mit Schmieröl versorgen und andererseits der Abfuhr von sog. Quetschöl dienen. Weiterhin sind die Wände W1, W2, W3 und W4 (siehe Fig. 5), über die das zu fördernde Öl zwischen den Zähnen abgeschlossen (Saugseite) bzw. wieder freigegeben wird (Druckseite), abgeschrägt, damit der jeweilige Vorgang nicht schlagartig, sondern gleichmäßig stattfindet. Die Abschrägung verläuft vorteilhaft in einem Bereich von ½ bis 1 Zahn, d.h. z.B. bei Pumpenrädern mit 11 Zähnen in einem Winkelbereich von 0.5*360°/11 bis 1*360°/11. Durch die vier zuletzt genannten Maßnahmen wird ebenfalls zu einer Geräuschreduzierung der Hauptölpumpe 10 und damit zu einer Geräuschreduzierung der gesamten Ölpumpenkombination beigetragen.As further measures for noise reduction in the main oil pump 10, as in Fig. 5, in the housing part 10a in the region of the gear set 30, 32 so-called. Pressure relief kidneys 88 provided. In addition, in the area of one another meshing gears 30 and 32, a central web 90 is provided, the upper Bounding edge 90a substantially in its extension through the middle of the two Bearings 92 and 94 for the axles 48 and 50 runs. Above the top The boundary edge 90a is two grooves 96 and 98 leading to the bearings 92 and 94 provided, on the one hand supply the bearings with lubricating oil and on the other hand the Removal of so-called squeeze oil serve. Furthermore, the walls W1, W2, W3 and W4 (see Fig. 5), over which the oil to be delivered between the teeth completed (suction side) or released again (print page), bevelled, so that the respective process not abrupt, but takes place evenly. The bevel is advantageously in a range of ½ to 1 tooth, i. e.g. for pumping gears with 11 teeth in one Angular range from 0.5 * 360 ° / 11 to 1 * 360 ° / 11. By the four last mentioned Measures will also be to a noise reduction of the main oil pump 10 and thus contributing to noise reduction of the entire oil pump combination.
