Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gear pump with delivery rate control, in particular for the lubricating oil supply of an internal combustion engine.
  • Gear pumps with delivery rate control should deliver the oil requirement of an internal combustion engine and require only a low drive power.
  • they are designed as external gear oil pumps with an axial gear shift, as for example in the DE 100 43 842 A1 or the DE 101 44 693 A1 is described.
  • Such a gear pump has two arranged in a housing and intermeshing gears, one of which rotatably connected to a drive shaft and the front side enclosed by the housing and the other as output gear is part of a displacement unit.
  • the displacement unit has, in addition to the output gear still at one end face adjacent and operatively connected to this spring piston and the end face facing away from a control piston and is arranged on a housing-fixed and parallel to the drive shaft axis, wherein the output gear is rotatably mounted and the both pistons are firmly connected to the axle.
  • the spring piston and the control piston bound each one on the output gear facing away from the end face formed with the housing cylindrical pressure chamber.
  • a compression spring is arranged in the spring piston-side pressure chamber.
  • the two pressure chambers are connected via a pressure line with a throttle in hydraulic operative connection, wherein the compression spring having the pressure chamber is limited maximum pressure.
  • the invention consists in that in a gear pump with a flow rate changing and slidably disposed between a first and a second pressure chamber displacement unit and a supported in the second pressure chamber on the displacement unit compression spring, the first pressure chamber is connected via a control valve to the second pressure chamber , This control valve is operatively connected via a pressure converter connected to the first pressure chamber with a control unit coupled thereto, in which a corresponding characteristic field is stored.
  • the flow rate is, as in the known gear pumps with a displacement unit, regulated by the fluid pressure in the two pressure chambers and the resulting position of the displacement unit.
  • This regulation takes place at a predetermined desired fluid pressure at the outlet of the gear pump. If a larger amount of fluid is required by the consumer, in particular a larger amount of oil from an internal combustion engine as a result of an increased engine speed, the amount of fluid sucked increases as a result of the coupled speed of the gear pump. This larger amount of fluid leads to an increase in the fluid pressure in the two pressure chambers and at the outlet of the gear pump, which adjusts an equilibrium of forces on the displacement unit with the compression spring.
  • the fluid pressure increase has a pump output side to the pressure transducer, which transmits this to the control unit by an electrical signal. Based on the map stored in this map, the signal is processed and the control valve is controlled. This is never completely closed, so that a pressure equalization can take place.
  • the delivery rate must be reduced. This is done by increasing the passage opening on the control valve, which leads to a fluid pressure increase and with the force exerted by the compression spring on the displacement unit pressure to a total pressure increase in the second chamber. The existing balance of forces is disturbed, and the displacement unit is moved in the direction of the first pressure chamber, whereby the flow rate and thus the fluid pressure can be reduced.
  • a decrease in the fluid requirement leads to a reduction of the fluid pressure in the first pressure chamber and at the outlet of the gear pump.
  • the passage opening is reduced at the control valve, whereby the fluid pressure in the second pressure chamber decreases.
  • the total pressure which is now below the fluid pressure in the first pressure chamber, causes a displacement of the displacement unit in the direction of the second pressure chamber, which entails an increase in the fluid delivery volume and the fluid quantity and a fluid pressure increase at the output of the gear pump by itself. In this way, the delivery rate of the gear pump at a predetermined target fluid pressure depending on depending Request automatically.
  • a large linear control spring is not needed, which makes the gear pump can be made smaller. This has an effect on weight and material savings.
  • the gear pump can be maximally limited by a pressure relief valve arranged between its outlet and its suction side.
  • a pressure relief valve arranged between its outlet and its suction side.
  • the Zahnradpunpe is designed as an external gear pump in which a eingangsseiitg non-rotatably arranged on a drive shaft drive gear meshes with a driven gear, which is part of the displacement unit.
  • This has an output shaft on which the output gear is rotatably mounted, which limits the first pressure chamber and which rests on the side facing away from this on a non-rotatable spring piston, which, acted upon by the compression spring, defines and limits the second pressure chamber.
  • the engagement width between the two gears is increased or decreased, thereby increasing or decreasing the flow rate.
  • the gear pump has on the input side a mounted on the pump housing 1 and a pump cover 2 drive shaft 3 with a non-rotatably arranged on this drive gear 4. This is enclosed on its ends of the pump housing 1 and the pump cover 2 and axially positioned.
  • a driven gear 5 which forms a displacement unit 7 with a spring piston 6, which is slidably mounted on a salary to the pump housing 1 and the pump cover 2 driven output shaft 8, wherein the output gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the output shaft 8.
  • the spring piston 6, acted upon by a supported on the pump cover 2 compression spring 9, is located on the output gear 5, but is not rotatable, so that the output gear 5 slides at a rotational movement of this.
  • the output gear 5 forms with the housing a first pressure chamber 10 and the spring piston 6 with the housing wall and the pump cover 2, a second pressure chamber 11 from.
  • the position the displacement unit 7 in relation to the drive gear 4 is determined by the difference between the pressure forces acting in the two pressure chambers 10 and 11 on the displacement unit.
  • the first pressure chamber 10 is connected via a pulsumblenmodliertes solenoid valve 12 with the second pressure chamber 11, which is operatively connected via a connected to the first pressure chamber 10 pressure transducer 13 with a coupled thereto control unit 14.
  • a map is stored, which contains the relationship between the respective transmitted by the pressure transducer 13 to the control unit 14 electrical signal and the control signal for the solenoid valve 12, so that each measured pressure value, which is converted into an electrical signal, a certain electrical pulse is assigned to the solenoid valve 12.
  • a pressure relief valve 15 is arranged, which serves to allow a maximum pressure in the pressure chamber 10 in the amount of about 5 bar.
  • the second pressure chamber 11 is provided via a pressure equalization line 16 formed in the pump cover 2 with a throttling line 17 acting as a throttle, which is connected to the input E and which serves to equalize the pressure.
  • the pressure equalization line with the throttle 17 causes a reduction of the oil pressure P2 and thus also the total pressure in the pressure chamber 11, so that the displacement unit 7 is moved back to the direction thereof.
  • the engagement width B of the two gears 4 and 5 is increased, which determines the oil delivery volume per gear revolution.
  • the delivered amount of oil increases again and thus also the pressure P1 in the pressure chamber 10 and on the output side A, this increase being determined by the speed of the drive gear 4.
  • the pressure transducer 9 signals that the oil pressure P1 on the output side A is too low.
  • the passage opening of the valve 12 is reduced, whereby the pressure P2 does not increase as much as the pressure P1, and the displacement unit 7 moves by increasing the engagement width B of the two gears 4 and 5 further in the direction of the pressure chamber 11 and causes an increase of the delivery volume and the oil pressure P1.
