Described force application device 1-12 can be elastic structure.In the present embodiment, this force application device comprises force application rod 3-3, spring 3-4 and spring seat 3-1, and described spring seat 3-1 is fixed on described pump housing 1-1, and described spring 3-4 one end is connected with described spring seat 3-1, and the other end is connected with described force application rod 3-3.
For making spring 3-4 efficiency maximum, described spring 3-4 is parallel to entrance region suffered by described adjustment ring 1-3 and outlet area resultant direction, and namely described force application rod 3-3 action direction is parallel to entrance region suffered by described adjustment ring 1-3 and outlet area resultant direction.Described oil discharge passage 1-7 is provided with safety unloading valve 1-8, causes the infringement to variable displacement pump to prevent outlet passage 1-7 inner engine oil overpressure.
The specific works process of the present embodiment is as follows:
Driven by engine live axle moves.Under the driving of described live axle, described internal rotor 1-6 rotates around the medial axis of this internal rotor 1-6.
Under original state, the periphery of described adjustment ring 1-3 is not enough in the pressure difference of suffered oil discharge passage 1-7 and oil inlet passage 1-14 the elastic force overcoming force application device medi-spring 3-4.Adjustment ring 1-3 is in the rightmost side under the effect of spring 3-4 elastic force.Variable displacement pump works in maximum-displacement conditions.
When engine speed increases, oil discharge passage 1-7 pressure constantly raises thereupon, when the pressure difference of oil discharge passage 1-7 and oil inlet passage 1-14 suffered by adjustment ring 1-3 periphery is greater than spring 3-4 elastic force, adjustment ring 1-3 can relative movement on fixing tooth section 1-5 under the effect of thrust.Described moving region is departed from oil-feed and is joined oil pocket 2-1, and the contact ratio of joining oil pocket 2-1 with oil-feed becomes greatly, diminishes with fuel-displaced contact ratio of joining oil pocket, namely joins by described oil-feed the oil mass that oil pocket 2-1 enters working zone and reduces, thus reduce the discharge capacity that variable displacement pump often transfers out.
When adjustment ring 1-3 arrives the leftmost side, variable pump delivery reaches minimum.
Through overshoot, the pressure of described oil discharge passage 1-7 reduces, and described adjustment ring 1-3 pressure difference is equal with the elastic force of described force application device 1-12, forms a kind of transient equiliblium.Thus reach the object becoming discharge capacity.
If variable displacement pump breaks down, cannot Displacement Regulation change described oil discharge passage 1-7 inner engine oil pressure be caused to continue to raise, when engine oil pressure is elevated to setting, safety unloading valve 1-8 in oil pump opens, complete Unloading Effect, to reduce engine oil pressure, ensure that the outlet area loine pressure of described variable displacement pump is unlikely to too high.。
When engine speed reduces, and variable displacement pump is when small displacement work a period of time, what described adjustment ring 1-3 was subject in oil discharge passage 1-7 and oil inlet passage 1-14 make a concerted effort is not enough to overcome the elastic force of force application device 1-12 medi-spring 3-4, therefore adjustment ring 1-3 offsets to the left under the effect of spring 3-4 elastic force, and namely described adjustment ring 1-3 moves under the cooperation of adjustment tooth section 3-2 and fixing tooth section 1-5.The contact ratio that oil pocket 2-1 is joined in now moving region and described oil-feed diminishes, and the oil mass entering working volumes increases, thus improves variable pump delivery.When suffered by described adjustment ring 1-3, external force reaches balance, variable pump delivery also arrives dynamic equilibrium state.
When adjustment ring 1-3 gets back to original state position, variable pump delivery reaches maximum.
The present embodiment utilizes the change of oil discharge passage pressure control variable pump displacement, and the mode adopting adjustment tooth section and fixing tooth section to coordinate, adjustment action is developed into the relative movement between inside engaged gear, and have employed fabricated structure, reduce difficulty of processing.Shared by adjustment tooth section, adjustment ring periphery ratio is less, and other regions are simple Cylindrical Surfaces Contact, decrease the possibility of internal leakage, and it is very little to take up space, for variable displacement pump smaller volume provides possibility.
Although the application with preferred embodiment openly as above; but it is not for limiting the application; any those skilled in the art are not departing from the spirit and scope of the application; can make possible variation and amendment, the scope that therefore protection domain of the application should define with the application's claim is as the criterion.
