Abstract
A pumping device suitable for a lubricant of an internal-combustion engine, for example, of the piston construction, includes a pressure pump device and a suction pump device, which suction pump device has several suction pumps which are connected with suction devices of the internal-combustion engine. In order to improve the pumping device with respect to its function and construction, adjacent suction pumps are constructed as gear pumps connected to the suction device, the gears of the gear pumps being arranged coaxial with respect to one another and being connected with one another by a driving device.
Description
- This application claims the priority of Application No. 101 39 267.2, filed Aug. 9, 2001 in Germany, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention relates to a pumping device for a lubricant of an internal-combustion engine, for example, of the piston type.
- A known pumping device, as in French Patent Document FR 848 159, for the lubricant circulation in an internal-combustion engine has a pressure pump device and a suction pump device. The suction pump device is formed by several suction pumps which are spaced with respect to one another and are arranged at different suction points of the internal-combustion engine. This reference contains no information concerning the construction of the suction pumps and the method of their drive.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pumping device for a lubricant of an internal-combustion engine which is distinguished by a good functioning and a simple construction.
- The principal advantages achieved by means of the invention are that the pumping device comprises highly effective suction pumps constructed as gear pumps which, because they have identically constructed components, contribute to a cost-effective construction. In this case, each gear pump is connected with mutually separate suction points of the internal-combustion engine. In addition, the gear pump equipped with two mutually meshing gears has two mutually separate chambers accommodated in a housing of the gear pump, which chambers are connected to the above-mentioned suction points. These chambers are separated by a partition which extends at a right angle with respect to the center axes of the gears. The partition is inserted as a flat disk into axial grooves of the gears and interacts in a sealing manner with an interior wall of the housing. Finally, the partition is constructed in the manner of spectacles consisting of two parts which are joined in a longitudinal center plane including both center axes of the gears.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- The drawings show an embodiment of the invention in which:
- FIG. 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a pumping device for a lubricant of an internal-combustion engine;
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view according to Line II-II of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view according to Line III-III of FIG. 1.
- Only a portion of a
crankcase 2 on which a pumping device is provided is outlined of an internal-combustion engine 1 of the piston type which is not shown in detail. The pumping device comprises a pressure pump device, which is not shown, and asuction pump device 3 by means of which the circulation of the lubricant in the internal-combustion engine is ensured. The pressure pump device is arranged on a first longitudinal side and thesuction pump device 3 is arranged on a second longitudinal side 4 of thecrankcase 2. Thesuction pump device 3 is formed by at least twosuction pumps 5, 6 which are connected withsuction devices - The
suction pumps 5, 6 are constructed asgear pumps 9, 10 which each have two mutually meshinggears gear pumps 9, 10 are aligned coaxially with respect to one another and interact by means of adriving device 15.

Thedriving device 15 is ashaft 21 which is in an operative connection with the gears 11 and 13 of theadjacent gear pumps 9, 10. At itsends shaft 21 hasexternal toothings external toothings internal toothings - In order to implement a suctioning of the crank chamber and a suctioning of the adjacent points in the internal-
combustion engine 1, each gear pump, for example, 10, is connected withseparate suction points suction device 8, as can be seen in FIG. 1. For this purpose, twoseparate chambers 30 and 31 are provided in thehousing 16, whichchambers 30 and 31 are connected to thesuction points gears 13, 14 of thegear pump 10 operate. Thechambers 30 and 31 in thehousing 16 are separated by apartition 32 which extends at a right angle with respect to thecenter axes gears 13, 14. Thepartition 32 is constructed as a flat disk and is inserted intogrooves 35 and 36 of thegears 13, 14, thefree ends partition 32 sealingly interacting withinterior wall sections housing 16. Finally, thepartition 32 is constructed in the manner of spectacles, as can be seen in FIG. 2, and consists of symmetrical parts 41, 42 which are joined in a longitudinal center plane A-A including the twocenter axes gears 13, 14. - The foregoing disclosure has been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and is not intended to be limiting. Since modifications of the disclosed embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should be construed to include everything within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
