Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to coolant pumps, particularly adjustable coolant pumps.
  • the present disclosure further relates to methods of operation of adjustable coolant pumps.
  • the aforementioned application presents a controllable coolant pump where the adjustment element is mechanically activated by means of a vacuum. This negative pressure is applied to an annular membrane which is deformed due to the pressure gradient respect to the atmospheric pressure at the other side of the annular membrane.
  • the membrane pushes a support element connected, through several rods, to the adjustment element, covering the output of the impeller of the pump, which never stops spinning. Therefore the hydraulic resistance of the circuit is increased due to the adjustment element, and this is reflected in a reduction of the flow rate.
  • the flexible material of the membranes may be prone to suffer from wear which may cause inaccuracy of the function of regulation of the shutter and even a failure of the membrane.
  • some examples of pumps comprise a plate positioned between the impeller and the shutter or adjustment element to avoid the risk of interference.
  • this plate generates a bulky and complex configuration of the adjustable coolant pump.
  • static sealing systems which are solutions where sealing is only achieved at the end of the stroke, allow the fluid migration between zones at different pressures during the shutter displacement in axial direction, resulting in a slower and more inefficient activation of the system and in a reduction of the adjustment capability during the activation.
  • an adjustable coolant pump is provided according to claim 1.
  • the end-stop element may provide a perfectly defined and fixed end-stop position for the adjustment element or shutter, when covering, at least partially the impeller.
  • an adjustable coolant pump comprising the end-stop element may avoid any possible contact of the shutter and the impeller, for instance, when the impeller may spin and at least a portion of the outflow region may be covered.
  • the adjustable coolant pump according to this aspect may absorb at the same time the clearances and tolerances of the manufacturing and assembly of the components in such a way that a regulation function may not be affected.
  • the adjustable coolant pump according to this aspect does not comprise any plate between the impeller and the shutter, so a simple, compact and reliable configuration may be achieved.
  • the housing may further comprise an annular wall extending from the bottom face in axial direction in such a way that a cavity to receive the shutter may be defined at least by the annular wall and the bottom face; wherein the adjustable coolant pump may further comprise an adjustment sealing arrangement provided between the shutter and the annular wall, the sealing arrangement comprising a ring seal attached either to the shutter or the annular wall, in such a way that a dynamic sealing between the shutter and the housing is defined. Thanks to the adjustment sealing arrangement, a gap between the annular wall of the housing and the shutter may be eliminated. Thus, a backflow of the coolant between the shutter and the housing is avoided or at least reduced, even when the shutter is displaced along the axis of rotation. Therefore, the adjustment capability of the shutter is not reduced.
  • the adjustment sealing arrangement may provide a dynamic sealing between the shutter and the housing along the stroke of the shutter.
  • the sealing may be achieved in the annular wall which may be substantially parallel to the direction of a relative motion between the annular wall and the shutter.
  • a sealing function of the adjustment sealing arrangement may be independent of the aforementioned clearances and tolerances of the manufacturing and assembly of the components. Therefore, the sealing function of the adjustment sealing arrangement may be achieved and maintained regardless of the clearances and tolerances between the shutter and the housing.
  • the sealing function of the adjustment sealing arrangement is present regardless of the relative position between the shutter and the housing.
  • the sealing function is also achieved in the end points of the stroke of the shutter.
  • the adjustable coolant pump may further comprise an annular piston displaceable in axial direction, an annular groove inside of which the annular piston is displaceable, wherein the annular groove is divided in at least a first and a second pressure chamber by the annular piston, wherein the annular piston is mechanically connected to the shutter such that a displacement of the annular piston in axial direction is transmitted to the shutter.
  • the adjustable coolant pump does not comprise any membrane but an annular piston displaceable inside the annular groove. Therefore, an accurate and predictable displacement of the piston may be achieved. Furthermore, according to that further example a reliable function of regulation of the shutter may be obtained. The risk of failure and wear related to the membranes may be avoided.
  • a method with an accurate adjustment function of the shutter may be achieved.
  • the shutter may be displaced until a predefined end of stroke by means of the end-stop element.
  • a coolant is to be understood as a fluid such as a liquid used to remove heat.
  • dynamic sealing is meant a sealing provided at least between two surfaces and there is a relative motion between them.
  • static sealing is meant a sealing provided at least between two surfaces and there is no relative motion between them.
  • adjustable coolant pump 1 In the following some examples of an adjustable coolant pump 1 will be described. Although those examples may be related to an internal combustion engine, the adjustable coolant pump 1 could be related to any kind of engine or the like.
  • the adjustable coolant pump 1 may be used for conveying and circulating a coolant or coolants.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a longitudinal cross section view of an adjustable coolant pump 1 according to an example when a regulation function is deactivated and figure 2 schematically shows a longitudinal cross section view of the adjustable coolant pump of the figure 1 when a regulation function is activated.
  • the pump 1 When the regulation function is deactivated, the pump 1 may be able to provide its flow rate of coolant. Conversely, when the regulation function is activated the pump 1 may be able to provide a percentage of its flow rate or even nothing.
  • the adjustable coolant pump 1 may be pneumatically actuated.
  • An exemplary adjustable coolant pump 1 comprises:
  • the axis of rotation AR may match or at least be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 13, according to one example.
  • the housing 12 may also comprise side walls to join the top face 15 and the bottom face 16 such that the housing 12 may comprise a cylinder-shaped body.
  • the end-stop element 3 comprises a shank 31 fixed at one end to the portion of the housing 12 and further comprises a widening 32 at the other end to stop the shutter 2 when covering, at least partially, the outflow region OR.
  • the shank 31 may have a predefined length such that this predefined length of the shank 31 may correspond to a predefined end of stroke for the shutter 2 when covering, at least partially, the outflow region OR.
  • the predefined length of the shank 31 may be chosen depending on the expected reduction percentage of flow rate and therefore on the amount of coverage.
  • the end of stroke of the shutter 2 may be located at different positions related to the impeller 14 (and the housing 12).
  • the reduction percentage of the flow rate may be easily adjusted by adopting a different length of the shank 31. For instance, a shank 31 with a short length (shorter stroke of shutter 2) may achieve less reduction percentage than a shank 31 with longer length (longer stroke of shutter 2).
  • the end-stop element 3 may comprise a bolt; alternatively the end-stop element 3 may be a rivet or any analogous element. This bolt or rivet may be fixed to a corresponding orifice in the bottom face 16.
  • the adjustable coolant pump 1 may further comprise:

  • the adjustable coolant pump 1 may further comprise at least one rod 6 to mechanically connect the annular piston 4 to the shutter 2.
  • the rod 6 may comprise two notches 61, 62 respectively at its ends to allow a fixation respectively to the annular piston 4 and the shutter 2. These notches 61, 62 may match a corresponding hole 22 in the shutter 2 or slot 42 in the annular piston 4. Alternatively, the relative fixation of the rod 6 to the annular piston 4 and the shutter 2 may be achieved by welding, bonding or the like.
  • rod 6 has been depicted as a single element, alternatively it may be envisaged as a plurality of parts that allow a mechanical connection between the shutter 2 and the piston 4.
  • the rod 6 may slidably move along a rod bearing 63 to facilitate the transmission of movement from annular piston 4 and the shutter 2.
  • This rod bearing 63 may be positioned between the rod 6 and the housing 12.
  • Some rod seals may be disposed for preventing the coolant from going from the impeller area to the annular groove 5.
  • Figures 3A-3B schematically show enlarged details of connections between the rod 6 and respectively the annular piston 4 and the shutter 2 when a regulation function is deactivated. Meanwhile, figures 4A-4B schematically show enlarged details of those connections between the rod 6 and respectively the annular piston 4 and the shutter 2 when the regulation function is activated.
  • notches 61, 22 may bring the presence of some clearances C1, C2 in the area of connection of those notches 61, 62 to hole 22 and slot 42. These clearances may facilitate the assembling of the pump 1. Such clearances C1, C2 may vary depending on the status of the pump 1 as will be explained later.

  • the number of bores 21 may be the same as the number of end-stop elements 3.
  • the shank 31 with a predefined length it may be possible to easily adjust the reduction percentage above mentioned without adjusting the output delivered by the power source which drives the shaft 13, and/or without adjusting the vacuum source associated to the second pressure chamber 52.

  • Reducing the pressure of the second pressure chamber 52 may comprise actuating a vacuum source (not illustrated) associated to the second pressure chamber 52 and allowing atmospheric air entering the first pressure chamber 51 through an opening 55 thereof.
  • actuating the vacuum source for instance, a gas may be removed from the second pressure chamber 52. Meanwhile, the opening 55 may allow atmospheric air entering the first pressure chamber 51.
  • the annular piston 4 may move in axial direction towards the impeller 14, so the size (volume) of the second pressure chamber 52 may become smaller than the first pressure chamber 51.
