Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Radialkolbenpumpe zur Kraftstoffhochdruckversorgung bei Kraftstoffeinspritzsystemen von Brennkraftmaschinen, insbesondere bei einem Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem, mit einer in einem Pumpengehäuse gelagerten Antriebswelle, die exzentrisch ausgebildet ist oder in Umfangsrichtung nockenartige Erhebungen aufweist, und mit vorzugsweise mehreren bezüglich der Antriebswelle radial in einem jeweiligen Zylinderraum angeordneten Kolben, die durch Drehen der Antriebswelle in dem jeweiligen Zylinderraum in radialer Richtung hin und her bewegbar sind.The invention relates to a radial piston pump for High pressure fuel supply at Fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, especially with a common rail injection system a drive shaft mounted in a pump housing, the is eccentric or in the circumferential direction has cam-like elevations, and preferably with several radially in one with respect to the drive shaft respective cylinder space arranged pistons, which by Turn the drive shaft in the respective cylinder space in radial direction are movable back and forth.

Es wird jedoch darauf hingewiesen, daß die vorliegende Erfindung nicht nur bei einer Radialkolbenpumpe eingesetzt werden kann, sondern auch bei Hochdruckpumpen insbesondere mit einer Bedarfsmengenregelung.However, it should be noted that the present Invention not only used in a radial piston pump can be, but also with high pressure pumps in particular with a demand quantity regulation.

Bei einer innen abgestützten Radialkolbenpumpe der genannten Art hat jeweils der Fuß der Kolben Kontakt mit der Antriebswelle. Die Kolben werden durch die Exzentrizität der Antriebswelle oder durch die nockenartigen Erhebungen auf der Antriebswelle nacheinander in eine Hin- und Herbewegung versetzt. Dabei werden von der sich drehenden Antriebswelle auf die Kolben jedoch nicht nur Kräfte in bezüglich der Antriebswelle radialer Richtung aufgebracht, d.h. in Längsrichtung der Kolben, sondern auch quer zu den Kolben. Diese Querkräfte erzeugen ein Moment auf den jeweiligen Kolben.With an internally supported radial piston pump the mentioned type the foot of the piston has contact with the drive shaft. The pistons are replaced by the Eccentricity of the drive shaft or by the cam-like elevations on the drive shaft one after the other in a reciprocating motion. In doing so, the rotating drive shaft on the pistons, however only forces in radial direction with respect to the drive shaft upset, i.e. in the longitudinal direction of the pistons, but also across the pistons. These shear forces create a moment on the respective piston.

Aus der EP 0 304 743 A1 und der DE 42 16 877 A1 sind Radialkolbenpumpen bekannt bei denen zwischen Kolben und Antriebswelle ein Tassenstößel vorgesehen ist. Dieser Tassenstößel soll die andernfalls von der Antriebswelle auf den Kolben eingeleiteten Querkräfte aufnehmen. Nachteilig an der in der EP 0 304 743 ist, dass die Tassenstößel eine signifikante Verschlechterung des Pumpenwirkungsgrads mit sich bringen, da der notwendig Druckausgleich zwischen Kurbelgehäuse und Tasseninnerem unbefriedigend gelöst ist. Bei der DE 42 16 877 A1 sind die Tassenstößel an der Zylinderbuchse geführt, so dass sich zwar das Problem des Druckausgleichs nicht stellt, allerdings ist die Führung des Tassenstößels gegenüber der EP 0 304 743 A1 verschlechtert.From EP 0 304 743 A1 and DE 42 16 877 A1 Radial piston pumps are known in those between pistons and Drive shaft a bucket tappet is provided. This Otherwise the bucket tappet should open from the drive shaft absorb the transverse forces introduced into the piston. adversely What is known in EP 0 304 743 is that the tappets have a significant deterioration in pump efficiency with bring themselves because of the necessary pressure equalization between Crankcase and cup interior is unsatisfactorily solved. In DE 42 16 877 A1, the tappets are on the Guided cylinder liner, so that the problem of Pressure equalization does not provide, however, is the lead of the tappet compared to EP 0 304 743 A1 deteriorated.

Der Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zugrunde, eine Radialkolbenpumpe bereitzustellen, welche diese Nachteile vermeidet und einen weiter verbesserten Wirkungsgrad sowie eine weiter erhöhte Belastbarkeit bei gleichzeitig geringen Herstellungskosten aufweist. Insbesondere sollen Beschädigungen des Kolbenfuß, wie Käfigbrüche, verhindert werden, so daß ein einwandfreier Betrieb der Radialkolbenpumpe auch bei Teilbefüllung gewährleistet ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Radialkolbenpumpe soll einen Pumpendruck von bis zu 2000 bar aushalten.The invention is therefore based on the problem of a Radial piston pump to provide these disadvantages avoids and a further improved efficiency as well a further increased resilience with low Has manufacturing costs. In particular, should Damage to the piston foot, such as cage breaks, is prevented be, so that the proper operation of the Radial piston pump is guaranteed even with partial filling. The radial piston pump according to the invention should Withstand pump pressures of up to 2000 bar.

Das Problem wird durch die in dem unabhängigen Patentanspruch offenbarte Radialkolbenpumpe gelöst. The problem is solved by those in the independent Disclosed claim radial piston pump solved.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Öffnungen dienen zum Druckausgleich und gewährleisten, daß sich auch bei Ausnutzung des vollen Hubes nur eine minimale Druckdifferenz zwischen dem die Antriebswelle umgebenden Raum und dem jeweiligen Zylinderraum ergibt. Dadurch bleibt die Zunahme der Hertz'schen Pressung im Nutzhub gering und im Saughub ist eine Vollbefüllung des Elements gewährleistet. Somit ist auch bei Spitzendrücken bis zu 2000 bar eine hohe Lebensdauer der Kolben gewährleistet.The openings according to the invention serve to equalize the pressure and ensure that even when the full Hubes only a minimal pressure difference between which the Drive shaft surrounding space and the respective Cylinder space results. This keeps the increase in Hertzian pressure in the useful stroke is low and in the suction stroke a full filling of the element is guaranteed. So is a high one even at peak pressures up to 2000 bar Guaranteed piston life.

Eine besondere Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Tassenstößel jeweils in der gleichen Richtung wie der zugehörige Kolben hin und her bewegbar ist. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß von der Antriebswelle Kräfte in radialer Richtung, d.h. in Längsrichtung der Kolben, über den Tassenstößel auf die Kolben abgegeben werden können. Damit ist die für den Betrieb der Pumpe erforderliche Hin- und Herbewegung der Kolben der Radialkolbenpumpe gewährleistet.This is a special embodiment of the invention characterized in that the tappet each in the same direction as the associated piston back and forth is movable. This ensures that the Drive shaft forces in the radial direction, i.e. in Longitudinal direction of the piston, over the tappet on the Pistons can be delivered. So that's for the Operation of the pump required reciprocation of the Radial piston pump piston guaranteed.

Eine weitere besondere Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Tassenstößel jeweils in einer Bohrung in dem Gehäuse geführt ist, die sich in der gleichen Richtung wie der zugehörige Zylinderraum erstreckt. Die Führung ermöglicht auch bei hohen Pumpendrücken und schnellen Lastwechseln eine Hin- und Herbewegung der Querkraftaufnahmeeinrichtung. Insbesondere wird ein Verkanten des Tassenstößels in dem Zylinderraum vermieden. Another special embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the tappet each in a hole in the housing is guided, which is in the same direction as the associated cylinder space extends.

Eine weitere besondere Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Boden des Tassenstößels von einer Kraftaufnahmeplatte gebildet wird. Die Kraftaufnahmeplatte befindet sich in Kontakt mit der Antriebswelle und kann je nach Belastung eine unterschiedliche Dicke aufweisen. Die Oberfläche der Kraftaufnahmeplatte kann besonders behandelt sein, um eine hohe Verschleißfestigkeit zu gewährleisten.Another special embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the bottom of the tappet from a force plate is formed.

Der Führungsring sorgt dafür, daß die Querkraftaufnahmeeinrichtung sich nicht in dem Zylinderraum verkantet. Die Abmessungen des Führungsrings hängen vom Pumpendruck und von der Anzahl der Lastwechsel pro Zeiteinheit ab.Another special embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the force absorption plate by the cup-shaped body connected with a guide ring is. The guide ring slides in the cylinder space. With area in contact with the cylinder space be specially treated to reduce the frictional forces minimize. The guide ring ensures that the Transverse force absorption device is not in the cylinder space canted. The dimensions of the guide ring depend on Pump pressure and the number of load changes per Time unit.

Eine weitere besondere Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kolben jeweils durch eine Feder gegen die zugehörige Kraftaufnahmeplatte des Tassenstößels gedrückt werden. Durch die Federkraft wird der Kolben zur Antriebswelle hin bewegt, so daß Kraftstoff angesaugt wird. Es ist auch möglich, daß die Kraftaufnahmeplatte des Tassenstößels durch eine Feder gegen die Antriebswelle gedrückt wird. Allerdings wäre es in diesem Fall erforderlich, daß die Kraftaufnahmeplatte mit dem Kolben verbunden ist, um das Ansaugen von Kraftstoff zu gewährleisten. Wenn der Kolben direkt mit der Federkraft beaufschlagt wird, kann diese Verbindung zwischen Kraftaufnahmeplatte und Kolben entfallen. Diese Variante hat den Vorteil, daß eine so ausgeführte Radialkolbenpumpe einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Zudem ist bei dieser Variante die Anwendung der vorliegenden Erfindung auf bekannte Radialkolbenpumpen ohne weiteres möglich.Another special embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the pistons each by a Spring against the associated force plate of the Cup tappet are pressed.

If the piston is directly with the This force can be applied to the spring force between force plate and piston are eliminated. This Variant has the advantage that a so executed Radial piston pump manufactured easily and inexpensively can be. In addition, the application is in this variant of the present invention on known radial piston pumps easily possible.

Eine weitere besondere Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kraftaufnahmeplatte auf der zur Antriebswelle gerichteten Seite leicht ballig ausgebildet ist. Die konvexe Ausbildung der Kraftaufnahmeplatte dient dazu, die Kontaktfläche zwischen Antriebswelle und Kraftaufnahmeplatte zu verkleinern. Dadurch wird das von der Antriebswelle auf den Tassenstößel aufgebrachte Moment vorteilhaft reduziert. Bei der Auslegung der Kraftaufnahmeplatte muß die elastische Verformung des Tassenstößels berücksichtigt werden.Another special embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the force receiving plate on the slightly convex towards the drive shaft is trained. The convex formation of the Force absorption plate serves to establish the contact area between Reduce drive shaft and force plate.

Zudem kann der Grundgedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung in einfacher Art und Weise auf bestehende Radialkolbenpumpen angewendet werden, indem z.B. eine am Kolben vorgesehene Stößelplatte durch einen Tassenstößel ersetzt wird. Darüber hinaus wird die Bauteilfestigkeit, insbesondere bei einer Nullförderung im Saughub, erhöht.The present invention generally has the advantage that it can be implemented simply and inexpensively. moreover the basic idea of the present invention can be found in simple way on existing radial piston pumps applied by e.g. one provided on the piston Ram plate is replaced by a bucket tappet.

Die Feder 14 drückt den Kolben 12 gegen eine Kraftaufnahmeplatte 15, die zu einem Tassenstößel 9 gehört, der vergrößert im Maßstab 2:1 in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigt ist.At the end of the piston directed towards the drive shaft 4 12, a spring plate 13 is attached to each Spring 14 is biased. The spring 14 presses the piston 12 against a force absorption plate 15 which leads to a Tappet 9 belongs, which is enlarged on a 2: 1 scale in the Figures 3 and 4 is shown.

In der in Figur 3 gezeigten Untersicht ist zu erkennen, daß die Kraftaufnahmeplatte 15 die Form einer runden Scheibe hat, auf deren Umfang vier rechteckige Aussparungen 16 gleichmäßig verteilt sind. Wie man am besten in Figur 4 sieht, ist die Kraftaufnahmeplatte 15 durch einen tassenförmigen Körper 17 mit einem Führungsring 19 verbunden. Die Öffnungen 16 erstrecken sich jeweils von der Kraftaufnahmeplatte 15 in den tassenförmigen Körper 17. Die Größe der Öffnungen 16 ist so gewählt, daß beim Hin- und Herbewegen des Tassenstößels 9 ein Druckausgleich stattfindet zwischen dem Raum, in dem der Ring 8 angeordnet ist, und dem Raum, in dem die Feder 14 angeordnet ist. Die Öffnungen 16 gewährleisten. daß die Druckdifferenz zwischen den vorab erwähnten Räumen in allen Betriebszuständenminimal ist. Dadurch bleibt die Zunahme der Hertz'schen Pressung im Nutzhub der Kolben 12 gering, und im Saughub ist bei entsprechend ausgelegter Feder 14 eine vollständige Befüllung des jeweiligen Zylinderraums 18 gewährleistet. Ohne die Öffnungen 16 wäre ein Hin- und Herbewegen des Tassenstößels erschwert oder gar unmöglich. In the bottom view shown in Figure 3 it can be seen that the force absorption plate 15 is in the form of a round disk has four rectangular cutouts 16 on its circumference are evenly distributed. How best to figure 4 sees, the force plate 15 by one cup-shaped body 17 with a guide ring 19 connected. The openings 16 each extend from the Force absorption plate 15 in the cup-shaped body 17. Die The size of the openings 16 is chosen so that the back and forth Moving the tappet 9 a pressure equalization takes place between the space in which the ring 8 is arranged and the space in which the spring 14 is arranged. The Ensure openings 16. that the pressure difference between the previously mentioned rooms in all operating states is. As a result, the increase in Hertzian remains Pressure in the useful stroke of the pistons 12 is low, and in the suction stroke is a complete with a correspondingly designed spring 14 Filling of the respective cylinder space 18 guaranteed. Without the openings 16, the back and forth movement of the Cup tappet difficult or even impossible.

In Figur 1 ist gezeigt, daß sich die Kraftaufnahmeplatten 15 in Anlage mit den Abflachungen 10 des Rings 8 befinden. Der Ring 8 ist gleitend auf der Antriebswelle 4 gelagert und wird bei einer Drehung der Antriebswelle 4 durch den exzentrisch ausgebildeten Wellenabschnitt 6 in Bewegung versetzt. Diese Bewegung hat jedoch nicht nur eine bezüglich der Antriebswelle 4 radiale Komponente, die für den Kolbenhub benötigt wird, sondern auch eine Komponente in Umfangsrichtung der Antriebswelle 4, d.h. quer zu den Kolben 12. Diese Komponente, die den vorab erwähnten Querkräften entspricht, ist unerwünscht, weil sie ein Moment auf die Kolben bewirkt.In Figure 1 it is shown that the force plates 15 are in contact with the flats 10 of the ring 8. The ring 8 is slidably mounted on the drive shaft 4 and is at a rotation of the drive shaft 4 by the eccentrically formed shaft section 6 in motion added. However, this movement does not have only one with respect to the drive shaft 4 radial component which for the piston stroke is required, but also a component in the circumferential direction of the drive shaft 4, i.e. across the Piston 12. This component, the one mentioned above Corresponding to lateral forces is undesirable because it is a Moment on the pistons.

Der erfindungsgemäße Tassenstößel nimmt die Kräfte in Umfangsrichtung des Rings 8 auf. Der Tassenstößel 9 ist, wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt ist, durch den Führungsring 19 in einer Bohrung 24 in dem Gehäuse 2 geführt. Die Bohrung erstreckt sich jeweils in der gleichen Richtung wie der zugehörige Zylinderraum 18. Durch diese Abstützung des Tassenstößels 9 in dem Gehäuse 2 werden die Querkräfte von dem Ring 8 über die Kraftaufnahmeplatte 15, den tassenförmigen Körper 17 und den Führungsring 19 in das Gehäuse 2 geleitet. Das hat zur Folge, daß auf die Kolben 12 lediglich Kräfte in deren jeweiliger Längsrichtung aufgebracht werden. Dadurch wird die Belastung und der Verschleiß der Kolben 12 erheblich reduziert.The tappet according to the invention absorbs the forces Circumferential direction of the ring 8. The tappet 9 is as shown in Figures 1 and 2, by the Guide ring 19 in a bore 24 in the housing 2 guided. The bore extends in the same Direction like the associated cylinder space 18. Through this Support of the tappet 9 in the housing 2 Lateral forces from the ring 8 via the force absorption plate 15, the cup-shaped body 17 and the guide ring 19 in the Housing 2 headed. As a result, the pistons 12 only forces in their respective longitudinal directions be applied. This will reduce the burden and the Wear of the pistons 12 is significantly reduced.

Die in den Figuren 5 und 6 gezeigte Radialkolbenpumpe entspricht weitestgehend der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform. Deshalb wurden für Teile, die sowohl in der Radialkolbenpumpe der Figuren 1 und 2 als auch der Figuren 5 und 6 enthalten sind, die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet. Um Wiederholungen zu vermeiden wird auf eine nochmalige Beschreibung derartiger Teile bei der Erläuterung der Figuren 5 und 6 verzichtet. The radial piston pump shown in Figures 5 and 6 largely corresponds to that in FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment. Therefore, for parts, which both in the radial piston pump of Figures 1 and 2 Figures 5 and 6 are also included, the same Reference numerals used. To avoid repetitions is a further description of such parts the explanation of Figures 5 and 6 omitted.

Der Hauptunterschied zwischen der Ausführungsform der Figuren 5 und 6 gegenüber der Ausführungsform der Figuren 1 und 2 besteht darin, daß der Ring 8 bei der in den Figuren 5 und 6 gezeigten Radialkolbenpumpe nicht die Form eines Polygons aufweist, sondern zylindrisch ausgebildet ist.
Der Tassenstößel 9 ist in beiden Ausführungsformen der gleiche und entspricht dem Tassenstößel 9, der vergrößert in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt ist.
The main difference between the embodiment of Figures 5 and 6 compared to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 is that the ring 8 in the radial piston pump shown in Figures 5 and 6 does not have the shape of a polygon, but is cylindrical.
The cup tappet 9 is the same in both embodiments and corresponds to the cup tappet 9, which is shown enlarged in FIGS. 3 and 4.
