Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a variable-delivery pump.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a fixed-displacement, variable-delivery pump.
- In the supply of fluids in general, and automotive drive or lubricating fluids in particular, a need exists for high flow at low operating speeds and, at the same time, low, possibly constant flow at high operating speeds.
- At present, this is achieved using pumps differing in design and operation, and in particular fixed-displacement, variable-delivery rotary pumps, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
- As is known, in pumps of the above type, flow and supply pressure increase proportionally alongside an increase in the rotation speed of the rotary members, and displacement is selected at the design stage to ensure the required flow at low rotation speeds.
- To reduce flow at high rotation speeds, the pump normally comprises a bypass valve assembly associated with the pump outlet and controlled so that, at low speed, it remains idle and flow from the pump is fed entirely to the user device, whereas, over and above a given engine speed threshold, it is activated to drain off part or even all the flow from the pump.
- Though widely used, pumps of the above type have several drawbacks by failing to provide for a constant degree of efficiency, and by being relatively inefficient, particularly at high speed, i.e. when part of the flow from the pump is drained off by the bypass valve, as opposed to being fed to the user device.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a variable-delivery pump designed to provide a straightforward solution to the aforementioned drawbacks, and which, in particular, provides for high flow at low operating speeds and, at the same time, a high degree of efficiency over the full operating range of the pump.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a variable-delivery pump for a fluid, the pump comprising at least one pumping stage in turn comprising at least one rotor rotated by a drive shaft; and the pump being characterized in that a clutch device is interposed between the drive shaft and the rotor to make the rotor integral with or idle with respect to the drive shaft to adapt the physical characteristics of the fluid to the demands of a user device.
- A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a portion of a variable-delivery pump in accordance with the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a first longitudinal section of the variable-delivery pump in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a second longitudinal section, with parts not in section for the sake of clarity, of the variable-delivery pump in Figure 1.

-
Number 10 in Figure 1 indicates a two-stage pump, in particular for supplying pressurized oil in a lubricating system of an internal combustion engine (not shown). - As shown in Figures 2 and 3,
pump 10 comprises twoparallel pumping stages - In known manner,
first pumping stage 11a comprises amain body 12 housing twoeccentric gear rotors - More specifically, the fluid, in particular lubricating oil, is drawn from a tank (not shown) through an
intake chamber 15 and fed byrotors delivery chamber 16.Rotor 14 is fitted in known manner to adrive shaft 17 rotated by an engine (not shown) about a longitudinal axis A of symmetry in a rotation direction defined by a vector w; androtors intake chamber 15 todelivery chamber 16. - The pressurized fluid is fed by known means (not shown) along a conduit C1 from
delivery chamber 16 to a delivery passage M shared withsecond stage 11b (see below) and communicating hydraulically with an outlet S to a user device. -
Second stage 11b, shown in more detail in Figure 1 (in whichfirst stage 11a is not shown for the sake of clarity), comprises amain body 19 housing twoeccentric gear rotors - Since
stages stage 11b is added at delivery passage M to that ofstage 11a. - As in
stage 11a, fluid is fed simultaneously instage 11b from an intake chamber 18 (which draws the fluid from a tank not shown) to adelivery chamber 23 and to anannular chamber 24, and is fed fromdelivery chamber 23 along a conduit C2 to delivery passage M, from where it is fed by known means (not shown) to a user device (not shown). - As shown in the accompanying drawings, a
clutch device 25 is interposed betweenrotors shaft 17 to makerotor 20 integral, or not, withdrive shaft 17, depending on the flow of fluid, e.g. lubricating oil, required by the user device downstream frompump 10. -
Clutch device 25 comprises aspring 26 coiled aboutdrive shaft 17 in the same direction as vector w, and having afirst end 26a fixed (by known means) to driveshaft 17, and a freesecond end 26b comprising a pawl for the reasons explained in detail later on. - As shown more clearly in Figures 2 and 3,
spring 26 is housed in agap 27 between thesurface 17a ofdrive shaft 17 and thesurface 20a of the mounting hole 28 inrotor 20, and is preloaded and positioned during assembly so as to rest with a given preload onsurface 20a of mounting hole 28 and transmit torque fromdrive shaft 17 torotors second stage 11b. - At low rotation speed of
drive shaft 17,clutch device 25 is therefore engaged to fitrotor 20 to driveshaft 17 as required. - As shown, particularly in Figure 2,
spring 26 is advantageously made of silicon spring steel wire flattened into two surfaces at 180° to each other to increase the contact area between the coils ofspring 26 andsurface 20a, on one side, and the coils ofspring 26 theouter surface 17a ofdrive shaft 17 on the other. - To eliminate the drive effect of
spring 26 onrotor 20,clutch device 25 comprises actuating means 28 connected tospring 26 bypawl 26c. - More specifically, actuating means 29 comprise a
hydraulic piston 30 housed in aseat 31 formed indrive shaft 17. -
Hydraulic piston 30 ideally dividesseat 31 into afirst chamber 31a filled with pressurized fluid, and asecond chamber 31b housinghydraulic piston 30 itself, which slides insidesecond chamber 31b to reduce or increase the volume ofsecond chamber 31b at the expense offirst chamber 31a, which, as stated, contains a given quantity of pressurized fluid. -
Hydraulic piston 30 is angularly fixed and slides axially in a direction defined by axis A. And to prevent any rotation of hydraulic piston 30 (Figure 2) about axis A, akey 32 is inserted inside a throughhole 32a connecting surface 17a ofdrive shaft 17 toseat 31; and one end of key 32 projects inside agroove 33 formed on the surface ofhydraulic piston 30 to prevent it rotating about axis A. -
First chamber 31a communicates hydraulically withannular chamber 24 ofsecond stage 11b via a throughhole 34. -
Delivery chamber 23 andannular chamber 24 are connected hydraulically by aconduit 35 formed inmain body 19. - Though the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings comprises one through
hole 34, a second through hole (not shown) may be formed at 180° to the first for better balance. - The fluid pressure in
chamber 31a is obviously the same as inannular chamber 24. - In addition to
groove 33 for preventing rotation about axis A, the surface ofhydraulic piston 30 also has aslot 36 sloping with respect to axis A. -
Slot 36 is engaged by afirst end 37a (Figure 1) of apin 37, asecond end 37b of which projects fromsurface 17a through an opening 38 connectingsurface 17a tosecond chamber 31b. -
Pin 37 is forced to travel along a path along which it is perpendicular at all times to axis A. - The longitudinal axis of symmetry of through
opening 38, which is arc-shaped, therefore extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to axis A; andpawl 26c ofspring 26 rests onsecond end 37b ofpin 37. - In other words, connection of
slot 36 and through opening 38 bypin 37 forms a cam mechanism whereby, for example, displacement ofhydraulic piston 30 in the direction indicated by arrow F1 is converted into displacement ofpin 37 in the direction indicated by arrow F2, and vice versa. - Since, as stated,
pawl 26c, integral withsecond end 26b ofspring 26, rests onsecond end 37b ofpin 37, displacement in the direction of arrow F2 tightens the coils ofspring 26 aboutsurface 17a, thus detaching them fromsurface 20a of mounting hole 28 inrotor 20, so thatrotor 20 becomes idle with respect tospring 26, which therefore acts as a bearing. Obviously, a fall in pressure inannular chamber 24 also reduces the hydraulic pressure inchamber 31a ofseat 31 to allowhydraulic piston 30 to move in the opposite direction to arrow F1; and the movement ofhydraulic piston 30 is also assisted byspring 26, oneend 26b of which, as stated, acts elastically onpin 37 viapawl 26c. -
Pump 10 according to the present invention operates as follows: - when drive
shaft 17 rotates at low speed, bothparallel stages - in this case,
rotor 20 ofsecond stage 11b is made integral withdrive shaft 17 byspring 26, the outer surface of which - preferably, though not necessarily, flattened - rests onsurface 20a of mounting hole 28, so that the torque induced byshaft 17, rotating in the direction of vector w, is transmitted torotor 20 made integral withshaft 17 byspring 26 ofclutch device 25; - when the speed of the engine, and therefore of
drive shaft 17 connected mechanically to it, increases, the pressure of the fluid inannular chamber 24 also increases, thus accordingly increasing the pressure inchamber 31a; - the increase in pressure in
chamber 31a moveshydraulic piston 30 in the direction of arrow F1; - displacement of
hydraulic piston 30 in the direction of arrow F1 is converted by the cam mechanism into displacement ofpin 37 in the direction of arrow F2, thus detaching the outer surface ofspring 26 fromsurface 20a of mounting hole 28, by the coils ofspring 26 being tightened aboutsurface 17a ofdrive shaft 17; - as a result,
rotor 20 becomes idle with respect toshaft 17, thus deactivatingsecond stage 11b; - a fall in fluid pressure in
chamber 31a moveshydraulic piston 30 in the opposite direction to arrow F1, thus resulting in a corresponding movement ofpin 37 in the opposite direction to arrow F2; which return movement is assisted by the elastic action ofspring 26 onpin 37 and therefore onhydraulic piston 30. - The advantages of the present invention will be clear from the foregoing description.
- In particular,
pump 10 according to the present invention enables the bypass valve assembly associated with the outlet of the pump to be dispensed with. Using a valve assembly results in irregular and, in particular, relatively poor efficiency, especially at high rotation speeds of the drive shaft, at which, as opposed to being fed to the user device, part of the flow delivered by the pump is drained directly, thus impairing the overall efficiency of the pump. - When required, i.e. when the rotation speed of the drive shaft exceeds a given threshold value, the same effect is achieved by disconnecting one stage of a multistage pump easily and reliably as described above with reference to Figures 1-3. In so doing, pumping efficiency is improved considerably by not pumping surplus fluid not required by the user device.
