Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrisch angetriebene Luftpumpe mit einem Gehäuse, in dem ein Elektromotor und ein Pumpenwerk angeordnet sind, wobei das Pumpenwerk zumindest ein Pumpenlaufrad aufweist, das mit einem Laufradnabenelement auf einer Elektromotorwelle angeordnet ist.The invention relates to an electrically driven air pump with a housing, in which an electric motor and a pump unit are arranged, wherein the pump work has at least one pump impeller, which is arranged with an impeller hub member on an electric motor shaft.

Eine derartige Pumpe ist beispielsweise aus der DE 196 11 512 A1 bekannt. Das Pumpenwerk dieser Pumpe weist dabei ein oder mehrere aus Kunststoff gespritzte Pumpenlaufräder auf, wobei eine Laufradnabe direkt an das Pumpenlaufrad angespritzt ist. Das oder die Laufräder werden auf die Elektromotorwelle aufgeschoben und durch einen aus Metall bestehenden Abschlussring gesichert. Die Herstellung einer derartigen elektrisch angetriebenen Luftpumpe ist kosten- und arbeitsintensiv.Such a pump is known for example from DE 196 11 512 A1. The pump unit of this pump has one or more plastic injection molded impellers, with an impeller hub is molded directly onto the pump impeller. The impeller or impellers are pushed onto the electric motor shaft and secured by a metal ring. The production of such an electrically driven air pump is costly and labor intensive.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf kostengünstige Weise eine Luftpumpe zu schaffen, die geringe Laufgeräusche aufweist und deren Laufrad nicht in einem separaten Arbeitsgang ausgewuchtet werden muss.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a cost-effective way an air pump, which has low operating noise and the impeller must not be balanced in a separate operation.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei der erfindungsgemässen Luftpumpe dadurch gelöst, dass das Laufradnabenelement aus zwei Nabenteilen besteht, die durch Kraftformschluss derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass das Pumpenlaufrad in Bezug auf die Drehachse des Laufradnabenelementes zentriert zwischen den beiden Nabenteilen angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in the inventive air pump, characterized in that the impeller hub element consists of two hub parts which are connected by Kraftformschluss together such that the pump impeller is arranged in relation to the axis of rotation of the impeller hub element centered between the two hub parts.

Auf diese Art und Weise wird eine einfache und kostengünstig herzustellende Pumpe bereitgestellt, die desweiteren aufgrund des Formschlusses nahezu frei von Unwuchten ist.In this way, a simple and inexpensive to manufacture pump is provided, which is furthermore due to the positive connection almost free of imbalances.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind mit den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments are specified by the subclaims.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher beschrieben.Reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing, the invention will be described in more detail below.

Das Gehäuse 2 ist auf der Pumpenseite von einem Deckel 6 verschlossen, der einen Ansaugstutzen 7 aufweist. Das Pumpenwerk weist im vorliegenden Fall zwei Laufräder 8 und 9 auf, die mit Laufradnabenelementen 10, 11 auf eine Elektromotorwelle 12 des Elektromotors 5 aufgepresst sind. In Aufpressrichtung liegen die Laufradnabenelemente 10, 11 gegen einen Wellenbund 13 an. Um ein Verschieben in Axialrichtung zu verhindern, sind die Laufradnabenelemente 10, 11 zusätzlich auf der Elektromotorwelle 12 verklebt. Die Laufradnabenelemente 10, 11 bestehen dabei (siehe auch Fig. 3) aus Nabenteilen 14, 16 bzw. 15, 17.1 shows the inventive air pump 1. In a housing 2 on the one hand a pump unit 3 and on the other hand an electric motor chamber 4 with an electric motor 5 is arranged. The housing 2 is closed on the pump side by a cover 6, which has an intake 7. The pump unit has in the present case two wheels 8 and 9, which are pressed with impeller hub elements 10, 11 on an electric motor shaft 12 of the electric motor 5. In Aufpressrichtung the impeller hub elements 10, 11 abut against a shaft collar 13. In order to prevent displacement in the axial direction, the impeller hub elements 10, 11 are additionally bonded to the electric motor shaft 12. The impeller hub elements 10, 11 consist (see also FIG. 3) of hub parts 14, 16 or 15, 17.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Vorderansicht des Pumpenlaufrades 8. Das Pumpenlaufrad 8 weist eine Zentrieröffnung 18 auf, durch die ein Nabenansatz 19 (siehe Fig. 3) des Nabenteils 14 ragt. Kreisringförmig um die Zentrieröffnung 18 sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel Aufnahmeöffnungen 20 angeordnet, in die, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, Mitnehmeransätze 21 hineinragen, um das Laufrad 8 in Drehrichtung formschlüssig mit dem Laufradnabenelement 10; 11 zu verbinden.2 shows the front view of the pump impeller 8.
