Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a variable-delivery pump.
  • the present invention relates to a fixed-displacement, variable-delivery pump.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a variable-delivery pump for a fluid 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.
  • 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).
  • pump 10 comprises two parallel pumping stages 11a, 11b.
  • first pumping stage 11a comprises a main body 12 housing two eccentric gear rotors 13 and 14, which mesh to impart to the fluid a given mechanical energy in the form of speed and pressure.
  • the fluid in particular lubricating oil
  • a tank (not shown) through an intake chamber 15 and fed by rotors 13, 14 at a higher pressure to a delivery chamber 16.
  • Rotor 14 is fitted in known manner to a drive shaft 17 rotated by an engine (not shown) about a longitudinal axis A of symmetry in a rotation direction defined by a vector w ; and rotors 13 and 14 mesh to subject the fluid in known manner to the desired pumping action as the fluid is fed from intake chamber 15 to delivery 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 with second 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 which first stage 11a is not shown for the sake of clarity), comprises a main body 19 housing two eccentric gear rotors 20, 21, which mesh to impart to the fluid a given mechanical energy in the form of speed and pressure.
  • stage 11b Since stages 11a and 11b are parallel, the flow delivered by stage 11b is added at delivery passage M to that of stage 11a.
  • stage 11a fluid is fed simultaneously in stage 11b from an intake chamber 18 (which draws the fluid from a tank not shown) to a delivery chamber 23 and to an annular chamber 24, and is fed from delivery 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).
  • a clutch device 25 is interposed between rotors 20, 21 and drive shaft 17 to make rotor 20 integral, or not, with drive shaft 17, depending on the flow of fluid, e.g. lubricating oil, required by the user device downstream from pump 10.
  • fluid e.g. lubricating oil
  • Clutch device 25 comprises a spring 26 coiled about drive shaft 17 in the same direction as vector w , and having a first end 26a fixed (by known means) to drive shaft 17, and a free second end 26b comprising a pawl for the reasons explained in detail later on.
  • spring 26 is housed in a gap 27 between the surface 17a of drive shaft 17 and the surface 20a of the mounting hole 28 in rotor 20, and is preloaded and positioned during assembly so as to rest with a given preload on surface 20a of mounting hole 28 and transmit torque from drive shaft 17 to rotors 20, 21 to produce the desired pumping action at second stage 11b.
  • clutch device 25 is therefore engaged to fit rotor 20 to drive shaft 17 as required.
  • 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 of spring 26 and surface 20a, on one side, and the coils of spring 26 the outer surface 17a of drive shaft 17 on the other.
  • clutch device 25 comprises actuating means 28 connected to spring 26 by pawl 26c.
  • actuating means 29 comprise a hydraulic piston 30 housed in a seat 31 formed in drive shaft 17.
  • Hydraulic piston 30 ideally divides seat 31 into a first chamber 31a filled with pressurized fluid, and a second chamber 31b housing hydraulic piston 30 itself, which slides inside second chamber 31b to reduce or increase the volume of second chamber 31b at the expense of first 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, a key 32 is inserted inside a through hole 32a connecting surface 17a of drive shaft 17 to seat 31; and one end of key 32 projects inside a groove 33 formed on the surface of hydraulic piston 30 to prevent it rotating about axis A.
  • First chamber 31a communicates hydraulically with annular chamber 24 of second stage 11b via a through hole 34.
  • Delivery chamber 23 and annular chamber 24 are connected hydraulically by a conduit 35 formed in main body 19.
  • a second through hole may be formed at 180° to the first for better balance.
  • the fluid pressure in chamber 31a is obviously the same as in annular chamber 24.
  • the surface of hydraulic piston 30 also has a slot 36 sloping with respect to axis A.
  • Slot 36 is engaged by a first end 37a ( Figure 1) of a pin 37, a second end 37b of which projects from surface 17a through an opening 38 connecting surface 17a to second 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; and pawl 26c of spring 26 rests on second end 37b of pin 37.
  • connection of slot 36 and through opening 38 by pin 37 forms a cam mechanism whereby, for example, displacement of hydraulic piston 30 in the direction indicated by arrow F1 is converted into displacement of pin 37 in the direction indicated by arrow F2, and vice versa.
  • pump 10 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.
