  • the flow noise is very strongly damped by the fact that the interior of the outer housing 37 to 39 and the interior of the electric motor 2 and the interior 19 of the adapter part 15 act as cascaded sound-absorbing chambers.
  • the molded rings 41, 42, 43 which are made of rubber or a similarly damping material, provide structure-borne noise decoupling of the pump unit from the outer housing 37 to 39.
  • the shaped piece 30 likewise causes structure-borne noise to be decoupled from the pump unit in relation to the outer housing 37 to 39.
  • the throttling point 34 results in an airborne sound decoupling of the pressure switch 32 connected to the outer housing 37 to 39 in a sound-conducting manner: due to the throttling point, only a quasi-static pressure is present at the pressure switch, so that the dynamic pressure fluctuations that stimulate the pressure switch to emit sound cannot reach the pressure switch.
  • the rubber material of the T-branch also decouples structure-borne noise.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Pumpaggregat nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs. Es ist schon ein derartiges Pumpaggregat bekannt, bei dem die Mediumkanäle zur Zu- und Abführung des Druckmediums in zwei an der Aussenseite des Pumpengehäuses angeordneten Anschlussstutzen verlaufen. Beim Betrieb dieses Pumpaggregats hat sich gezeigt, dass - insbesondere wenn ein gasförmiges Druckmedium wie Luft verwendet wird - die beim Betrieb auftretenden Strömungsgeräusche, aber auch die Motorgeräusche als sehr störend empfunden werden, Ganz besonders gilt dies dann, wenn das bekannte Pumpaggregat in einem Kraftfahrzeug befestigt ist und zur Betätigung etwa einer Zentralverriegelungsanlage eingesetzt werden soll. Hierbei werden der vom Pumpaggregat erzeugte Luft- und Körperschall ungedämpft in die Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs eingeleitet, welche sogar noch als Resonanzboden dient.The invention is based on a pump unit according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a pump unit is already known, in which the medium channels for supplying and discharging the pressure medium run in two connecting pieces arranged on the outside of the pump housing. When operating this pump unit, it has been shown that - especially when a gaseous pressure medium such as air is used - the flow noises occurring during operation, but also the motor noises, are perceived as very disruptive. This is particularly true when the known pump unit is fastened in a motor vehicle is and should be used to actuate a central locking system. Here, the airborne and structure-borne noise generated by the pumping unit are introduced without damping into the body of the motor vehicle, which even serves as a soundboard.

Bei einem bekannten Pumpaggregat gemäss der DE-B2 Nr. 2162268 ist ein Raum, in welchem ein elektrischer Antriebsmotor für einen Flügelzellenverdichter untergebracht ist, von der angesaugten Luft durchströmt, so dass eine gewisse Kühlung des Antriebsmotors erreicht ist. Dazu ist der Motorraum mit der Arbeitskammer des Verdichters über einen Mediumkanal verbunden. Eine als Adapterteil anzusehende Trennscheibe ist nicht mit einer integrierten, als Dämpfungsmittel nutzbaren Kammer versehen.In a known pump unit according to DE-B2 No. 2162268, a space in which an electric drive motor for a vane compressor is accommodated is flowed through by the sucked-in air, so that a certain cooling of the drive motor is achieved. For this purpose, the engine compartment is connected to the working chamber of the compressor via a medium channel. A cutting disc to be regarded as an adapter part is not provided with an integrated chamber which can be used as a damping means.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Das erfindungsgemässe Aggregat mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass der zuerst genannten Schalldämpfkammer eine zweite, sowiesovorhandene Schalldämpfkammer nachgeschaltet ist und beide Kammern zwangsweise von dem Druckmedium während des Betriebs des Pumpaggregats durchströmt werden müssen. Hierdurch wird das eingangs erwähnte Strömungsgeräusch noch weiter gedämpft, ohne dass dazu ein das Gewicht oder das Volumen des Pumpaggregats vergrössernder apparativer Aufwand getrieben werden muss.The unit according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the first-mentioned silencing chamber is followed by a second, anyway existing silencing chamber and both chambers must be forced to flow through by the pressure medium during operation of the pump unit. As a result, the flow noise mentioned at the outset is attenuated even further, without the need for additional equipment that increases the weight or the volume of the pump unit.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Massnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Pumpaggregats möglich.The measures listed in the subclaims allow advantageous developments and improvements of the pump unit specified in the main claim.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielesDescription of the embodiment

In der Zeichnung ist ein Pumpaggregat dargestellt, das im wesentlichen aus einer Flügelzellenpumpe 1 und einem Elektromotor 2 besteht. Die eigentliche Flügelzellenpumpe besteht aus einem Hubring 3, in dem exzentrisch eine zylindrische Gehäuseausnehmung 4 angeordnet ist. Axial ist die Gehäuseausnehmung 4 durch zwei Seitenplatten 5, 6 begrenzt, deren Aussendurchmesser mit dem Aussendurchmesser des Hubrings 3 übereinstimmt. Hubring 3 und Seitenplatten 5, 6 sind durch Stifte 7 untereinander gegen Verschiebung gesichert. In der Gehäuseausnehmung 4 befindet sich konzentrisch zur Aussenkontur der Flügelzellenpumpe ein Rotor 8, in dessen radial angeordneten Schlitzen 9 Flügel 10 dicht und gleitend geführt sind. Die Flügel 10 berühren mit ihren Aussenkanten die zylindrische Innenwandung der Gehäuseausnehmung 4 und teilen den zwischen der Aussenfläche des Rotors 8 und der Wandung der Gehäuseausnehmung 4 gebildeten, etwa sichelförmigen Arbeitsraum in einzelne Zellen auf. Geführt ist der Rotor auf einer Pumpenwelle 11, die ihrerseits in konzentrisch in den Seitenplatten 5, 6 angeordneten Lagerbohrungen gehalten ist. Die Axial durch die Seitenplatten 5, 6 begrenzte Flügelzellenpumpe ist von oben mit einem Schutzdeckel 13 abgedeckt und mittels dreier Senkschrauben 12 an einem Flansch 14 eines im wesentlichen zylindrischen Adapterteils 15 festgeschraubt. Das Adapterteil 15 ist-wie Fig. 1 erkennen lässt- im wesentlichen rohrförmig aufgebaut und weist nahe seinem dem Flansch 14 abgewandten Ende eine ebene Stirnwand 16 auf. Die Stirnwand 16 sitzt flächig auf einem lagerschildartigen Stirndeckel17 des Elektromotors 2 auf und ist dort mittels Zylinderkopfschrauben 18 befestigt. In radialer Richtung ist das Adapterteil durch den Teil seiner zylindrischen Wand justiert, der auf der von der Flügelzellenpumpe 1 abgewandten Seite über die Stirnwand 16 hinausragt und an der zylindrischen Aussenfläche des Gehäuses des Elektromotors 2 anliegt.In the drawing, a pump unit is shown, which consists essentially of a vane pump 1 and an electric motor 2. The actual vane pump consists of a lifting ring 3, in which a cylindrical housing recess 4 is arranged eccentrically. The housing recess 4 is axially delimited by two side plates 5, 6, the outer diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the cam ring 3. The cam ring 3 and side plates 5, 6 are secured against displacement by pins 7 with one another. A rotor 8 is located in the housing recess 4 concentrically to the outer contour of the vane pump, in the radially arranged slots 9 of which vanes 10 are guided in a tight and sliding manner. The outer edges of the blades 10 touch the cylindrical inner wall of the housing recess 4 and divide the approximately crescent-shaped working space formed between the outer surface of the rotor 8 and the wall of the housing recess 4 into individual cells. The rotor is guided on a pump shaft 11, which in turn is held in bearing bores arranged concentrically in the side plates 5, 6. The vane pump, which is axially delimited by the side plates 5, 6, is covered from above with a protective cover 13 and is screwed onto a flange 14 of an essentially cylindrical adapter part 15 by means of three countersunk screws 12. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the adapter part 15 is essentially tubular and has a flat end wall 16 near its end facing away from the flange 14. The end wall 16 is seated flat on a faceplate-like end cover 17 of the electric motor 2 and is fastened there by means of cylinder head screws 18. In the radial direction, the adapter part is adjusted by the part of its cylindrical wall which protrudes beyond the end wall 16 on the side facing away from the vane pump 1 and bears against the cylindrical outer surface of the housing of the electric motor 2.

Im Innenraum 19 des Adapterteils 15 sind die Pumpenwelle 11 und die Welle 20 des Elektromotors 2 mittels einer an sich bekannten elastischen Kupplung 21 verbunden.In the interior 19 of the adapter part 15, the pump shaft 11 and the shaft 20 of the electric motor 2 are connected by means of an elastic coupling 21 known per se.

Bei dem hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sind der Hubring 3 und die Seitenplatten 5, 6 aus Kunststoff gefertigt, während der Schutzdekkel 13 und das Adapterteil 15 aus Aluminium bestehen können. Natürlich können auch diese Teile aus Kunststoff gefertigt werden.In the embodiment described here, the cam ring 3 and the side plates 5, 6 are made of plastic, while the protective cover 13 and the adapter part 15 can be made of aluminum. Of course, these parts can also be made of plastic.

Beim Umlauf des Rotors 8 verändern die von den Flügeln 10 abgeteilten Zellen im Innenraum 4 ihre Grösse. In Bereichen jeweils nahe der Stelle, an der sich die Mantelfläche des Rotors 8 und die zylindrische Innenfläche der Gehäuseausnehmung 4fast berühren, sind in an sich bekannter Art und Weise - und deshalb in der Zeichnung nur strichpunktiert angedeutet - Mediumkanäle 22, 23 (Fig. 2) zur Zu- und Abführung des Druckmediums angeordnet. Der Mediumkanal 22 mündetwie in Fig. 1 und 3 angedeutet- in den Innenraum 19 des Adapterteils 15. Der andere Mediumkanal 23 ist von einem Vorsprung 25 nach radial innen in der Ebene des Flansches 14 abgedeckt. Der Vorsprung 25 wiederum trägt einen Anschlussstutzen 26, in dem sich der andere Mediumkanal 23 fortsetzt. Wie Fig. 3 erkennen lässt, durchstösst der Anschlussstutzen 26 die zylindrische Wandung des Adapterteils 15 nach aussen.When the rotor 8 rotates, the cells divided by the vanes 10 change their size in the interior 4. Medium areas 22, 23 (FIG. 2) are in a manner known per se - and therefore only indicated by dash-dotted lines - in areas near the point at which the outer surface of the rotor 8 and the cylindrical inner surface of the housing recess 4fast touch ) arranged for supply and discharge of the print medium. The medium channel 22 opens into the interior as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 3 19 of the adapter part 15. The other medium channel 23 is covered by a projection 25 radially inward in the plane of the flange 14. The projection 25 in turn carries a connecting piece 26 in which the other medium channel 23 continues. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the connecting piece 26 pierces the cylindrical wall of the adapter part 15 to the outside.

Der abgeschlossene Innenraum 19 des Adapterteils 15 ist über eine Durchgangsöffnung 24, deren Strömungsquerschnitt etwa gleich gross ist wie derjenige des Mediumkanals 22, mit dem in der Zeichnung nicht näher dargestellten - weil an sich bekannten - Innenraum des Gehäuses des Elektromotors 2 verbunden. Natürlich kann bei besonderen Ausführungsbeispielen die Durchgangsöffnung 24 auch als Drosselstelle ausgebildet sein. Die Durchgangsöffnung 24 ist auf der dem Elektromotor 2 zugewandten Seite mit einer Erweiterung 27 versehen, die von einem vorzugsweise als Drahtgeflecht ausgebildeten Filterplättchen 28 abgedeckt ist.The closed interior 19 of the adapter part 15 is connected via a through opening 24, the flow cross section of which is approximately the same as that of the medium channel 22, to the interior of the housing of the electric motor 2, which is not shown in the drawing because it is known per se. Of course, the passage opening 24 can also be designed as a throttle point in special exemplary embodiments. The passage opening 24 is provided on the side facing the electric motor 2 with an extension 27, which is covered by a filter plate 28 which is preferably designed as a wire mesh.

Der Innenraum des Elektromotors 2 ist über mindestens einen in dessen Gehäusewandung angeordneten Durchbruch 29, der in einem dem Stirndeckel 17 abgewandten Bereich angeordnet ist, mit der Aussenseite des Elektromotors verbunden. Dabei kann der Durchbruch auch mit einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten offenporigen Schaumstofflage, die als Schalldämpfelement wirkt, abgedeckt sein.The interior of the electric motor 2 is connected to the outside of the electric motor via at least one opening 29 arranged in its housing wall, which is arranged in an area facing away from the end cover 17. The breakthrough can also be covered with an open-pore foam layer, not shown in the drawing, which acts as a sound-absorbing element.

Auf den Anschlussstutzen 26 ist ein aus Gummi oder ähnlich dämpfendem Werkstoff bestehendes Schlauchformstück 30 aufgeschoben, in dem der Mediumkanal 23 weiter verläuft. Über einen T-Abzweig 31 des Schlauchformstücks 30 ist der Mediumkanal 23 mit dem Steuerraum eines etwa membranbetätigten Druckschalters 32 verbunden. Der Druckschalter steuert, ggf. in Verbindung mit einer elektronischen Steuerschaltung, die auf einer Schaltplatine 33 angeordnet ist, die Funktion des Elektromotors 2. In der zum Druckschalter 32 führenden Leitung im T-Abzweig des Schlauchformstücks 30 ist ein eine Drosselstelle 34 enthaltendes Einsatzteil 35 angeordnet. Natürlich kann die Drosselstelle auch direkt in die zum Druckschalter 32 führende Leitung im T-Abzweig eingeformt sein. Das freie Ende 36 des Schlauchformstücks 30 bildet den Ausgang des Pumpaggregats.A hose fitting 30 made of rubber or similarly damping material is pushed onto the connecting piece 26, in which the medium channel 23 extends further. The medium channel 23 is connected to the control chamber of an approximately membrane-operated pressure switch 32 via a T-branch 31 of the hose fitting 30. The pressure switch controls, possibly in conjunction with an electronic control circuit which is arranged on a circuit board 33, the function of the electric motor 2. In the line leading to the pressure switch 32 in the T branch of the hose fitting 30, an insert part 35 containing a throttle point 34 is arranged . Of course, the throttle point can also be molded directly into the line leading to the pressure switch 32 in the T-branch. The free end 36 of the hose fitting 30 forms the outlet of the pump unit.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist, sind die mit dem Elektromotor 2 über das Adapterteil 15 verbundene Flügelzellenpumpe 1, der Druckschalter 32 und das Schlauchformstück 30 zusammen mit einer Schaltplatine 33 im Innenraum eines Aussengehäuses angeordnet. Das Aussengehäuse besteht aus einem von oben mit einem Deckel 37 verschlossenen kastenförmigen Teil 38, das auf seiner dem Deckel 37 abgewandten Seite einen zylindrischen Ansatz 39 aufweist. Kastenförmiges Teil 38 und zylindrischer Ansatz 39 sind beispielsweise verklebt. Ebenso kann der Deckel 37 auch mit dem kastenförmigen Teil 38 verklebt sein oder aber durch in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte, aber an sich bekannte Rastverschlüsse gehalten sein. Im Deckel 37 sind Durchbrüche 40 angeordnet, über die der Innenraum des Aussengehäuses 37 bis 39 mit der Umgebungsatmosphäre verbunden ist. Die Durchbrüche 40 können auch noch mit einer Abdeckung aus insbesondere offenporigem Schaumstoff abgedeckt sein.As can be seen from the drawing, the vane pump 1 connected to the electric motor 2 via the adapter part 15, the pressure switch 32 and the hose fitting 30 are arranged together with a circuit board 33 in the interior of an outer housing. The outer housing consists of a box-shaped part 38 closed from above with a cover 37, which has a cylindrical extension 39 on its side facing away from the cover 37. Box-shaped part 38 and cylindrical extension 39 are glued, for example. Likewise, the cover 37 can also be glued to the box-shaped part 38 or can be held by snap closures, which are not shown in the drawing but are known per se. Openings 40 are arranged in the cover 37, via which the interior of the outer housing 37 to 39 is connected to the ambient atmosphere. The openings 40 can also be covered with a cover made of, in particular, open-cell foam.

Im zylindrischen Ansatz 39 steht der Elektromotor 2 mit der daran befestigten Flügelzellenpumpe 1 durch Formringe 41, 42, die aus Gummi oder anderen elastischen Werkstoffen hergestellt sind, formschlüssig gegen Verdrehen gesichert. In axialer Richtung steht der Elektromotor unten auf dem Formring 42 auf und wird von oben durch einen - wie die übrigen Formringe 41,42 auch - elastisch leicht verformten Gummiring 43, der sich an der Innenseite des Deckels 37 abstützt, gehalten.In the cylindrical extension 39, the electric motor 2 with the vane pump 1 attached to it is positively secured against rotation by form rings 41, 42 which are made of rubber or other elastic materials. In the axial direction, the electric motor stands on the bottom of the molded ring 42 and is held from above by a rubber ring 43 which is elastically slightly deformed, like the other molded rings 41, 42, and which is supported on the inside of the cover 37.

Über Anschlusskabel 44, 45, die im Innenraum des Aussengehäuses 37 bis 39 geführt sind, und über ebenfalls nicht näher dargestellte Verbindungsleitungen 45, die zur Schaltplatine 33 führen, wird der Elektromotor gesteuert. Die auf der Schaltplatine 33 angeordnete elektronische Schaltung wird über in der Zeichnung nur strichpunktiert dargestellte Anschlussleitungen 46 mit Strom versorgt.The electric motor is controlled via connecting cables 44, 45, which are guided in the interior of the outer housing 37 to 39, and via connecting lines 45, also not shown, which lead to the circuit board 33. The electronic circuit arranged on the circuit board 33 is supplied with current via connecting lines 46, which are only shown in broken lines in the drawing.

Der Innenraum des zylindrischen Ansatzes 39 des Aussengehäuses ist - wie aus dem oben Gesagten hervorgeht - durch den mit leichter Vorspannung eingefügten Formring 41 vom übrigen Innenraum im kastenförmigen Teil 38 des Aussengehäuses abgeteilt. Deshalb ist der Formring 41 mit mehreren die genannten Innenräume miteinander verbindenden Strömungsöffnungen 47 verbunden.The interior of the cylindrical extension 39 of the outer housing - as can be seen from what has been said above - is separated from the rest of the interior in the box-shaped part 38 of the outer housing by the molded ring 41 inserted with slight prestress. For this reason, the molded ring 41 is connected to a plurality of flow openings 47 connecting the interior spaces mentioned.

Die Funktion des Pumpaggregats ist folgende: Beim Umlauf des Rotors 8 in Richtung des Drehpfeiles 48 (Fig. 2) wird durch den Mediumkanal 23 Druckmedium angesaugt und dabei im Mediumkanal 23 ein Unterdruck erzeugt. Bei dieser Drehrichtung arbeitet die Flügelzellenpumpe also als Drucksenke. Das über den Mediumkanal 22 ausgeschobene Druckmedium gelangt in den Innenraum 19 und von dort über den Innenraum des - Elektromotors 2 und den Durchbruch 29 in den Innenraum des zylindrischen Ansatzes 39 des Aussengehäuses. Von dort gelangt das Druckmedium über die Strömungsöffnungen 47 schliesslich zu den Durchbrüchen 40 im Deckel 37, von wo das Druckmedium an die freie Umgebungsatmosphäre abströmen kann. Über den Druckschalter 32 wird der Elektromotor 2 immer dann in Bewegung gesetzt, wenn der Unterdruck z. B. einen eingestellten Wert noch nicht erreicht hat. Bei bestimmten Anwendungsfällen kann es vorkommen, dass die Flügelzellenpumpe 1 auch als Druckquelle fungieren muss. Dazu wird mittels der elektronischen Steuerschaltung auf der Schaltplatine 33 die Stromzuleitung zum Elektromotor 2 umgepolt, so dass der Motor 8 entgegen dem Drehpfeil 48 umläuft. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass sich die oben beschriebene Strömungsrichtung umkehrt und im Mediumkanal 23 ein gegenüber dem Aussendruck erhöhter Druck anliegt.The function of the pump unit is as follows: When the rotor 8 rotates in the direction of the arrow 48 (FIG. 2), pressure medium is drawn in through the medium channel 23 and a negative pressure is generated in the medium channel 23. In this direction of rotation, the vane pump works as a pressure sink. The pressure medium ejected via the medium channel 22 reaches the interior 19 and from there via the interior of the electric motor 2 and the opening 29 into the interior of the cylindrical extension 39 of the outer housing. From there, the pressure medium finally reaches the openings 40 in the cover 37 via the flow openings 47, from where the pressure medium can flow to the free ambient atmosphere. About the pressure switch 32, the electric motor 2 is always set in motion when the vacuum z. B. has not yet reached a set value. In certain applications, the vane pump 1 may also have to act as a pressure source. For this purpose, the power supply line to the electric motor 2 is reversed by means of the electronic control circuit on the circuit board 33, so that the motor 8 rotates counter to the arrow 48. It is obvious that the flow direction described above is reversed and that a pressure which is higher than the external pressure is present in the medium channel 23.

Die bei der Funktion der Flügelzellenpumpe entstehenden Strömungsgeräusche, die insbesondere dann sehr stark stören, wenn das Pumpaggregat in einem Kraftfahrzeug zur Betätigung etwa einer Zentralschliessanlage oder sonstiger Komforteinrichtungen Verwendung finden soll, aber auch die Motorgeräusche des Elektromotors und sonstige durch die Bewegung der Maschinenteile hervorgerufene Geräusche werden durch die erfindungsgemässe Konstruktion sehr stark gedämpft. Im einzelnen werden die Strömungsgeräusche dadurch sehr stark gedämpft, dass der Innenraum des Aussengehäuses 37 bis 39 sowie der Innenraum des Elektromotors 2 und der Innenraum 19 des Adapterteils 15 als hintereinandergeschaltete Schalldämpfungskammern wirken. Durch die Formringe 41, 42, 43, die aus Gummi oder einem ähnlich dämpfenden Werkstoff bestehen, findet eine Körperschallentkopplung des Pumpaggregats vom Aussengehäuse 37 bis 39 statt. Durch das Formstück 30 wird ebenfalls eine Körperschallentkopplung des Pumpaggregats gegenüber dem Aussengehäuse 37 bis 39 bewirkt. Die Drosselstelle 34 hat eine Luftschallentkopplung des mit dem Aussengehäuse 37 bis 39 schalleitend verbundenen Druckschalters 32 zur Folge: Durch die Drosselstelle steht am Druckschalter nur ein quasistatischer Druck an, so dass die den Druckschalter zur Schallemission anregenden dynamischen Druckschwankungen nicht zum Druckschalter gelangen können. Natürlich bewirkt der Gummiwerkstoff des T-Abzweigs auch eine Körperschallentkopplung.The flow noises that occur during the function of the vane pump, which are particularly disruptive when the pump unit should be used in a motor vehicle for actuating a central locking system or other comfort devices, but also the motor noises of the electric motor and other noises caused by the movement of the machine parts are very strongly dampened by the construction according to the invention. In particular, the flow noise is very strongly damped by the fact that the interior of the outer housing 37 to 39 and the interior of the electric motor 2 and the interior 19 of the adapter part 15 act as cascaded sound-absorbing chambers. The molded rings 41, 42, 43, which are made of rubber or a similarly damping material, provide structure-borne noise decoupling of the pump unit from the outer housing 37 to 39. The shaped piece 30 likewise causes structure-borne noise to be decoupled from the pump unit in relation to the outer housing 37 to 39. The throttling point 34 results in an airborne sound decoupling of the pressure switch 32 connected to the outer housing 37 to 39 in a sound-conducting manner: due to the throttling point, only a quasi-static pressure is present at the pressure switch, so that the dynamic pressure fluctuations that stimulate the pressure switch to emit sound cannot reach the pressure switch. Of course, the rubber material of the T-branch also decouples structure-borne noise.
