Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pumpe, insbesondere eine Flügelzellen- oder Rollenpumpe nach der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 näher definierten Art.The invention relates to a pump, in particular a vane or Roller pump according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1 Art.

In der US 6 234 776 B1 wird eine Pumpe beschrieben mit einem Gehäuse, indem ein von einer Stirnplatte begrenzter Läufersatz angeordnet ist, wobei der Läufersatz einen Kurvenring sowie einen Läufer mit Flügeln aufweist und wobei die Stirnplatte mit einem an den Läufersatz grenzenden Gegendruckfeld versehen ist, an dem der Pumpenarbeitsdruck anliegt.US Pat. No. 6,234,776 B1 describes a pump with a housing, in that a limited by a face plate rotor set is arranged, wherein the Runner set has a curve ring and a runner with wings and wherein the End plate is provided with an adjacent to the rotor set back pressure field, where the pump working pressure is applied.

Eine gattungsgemäße Flügelzellenpumpe ist aus der DE 41 12 196 A1 bekannt. Weitere derartige Pumpen sind ebenfalls aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und werden in der Praxis häufig eingesetzt.A generic vane pump is known from DE 41 12 196 A1. Other such pumps are also known from the prior art and are often used in practice.

Die aus der DE 41 12 196 A1 bekannte Flügelzellenpumpe weist in üblicher Weise auf einer Antriebswelle einen Läufersatz auf. Der Läufersatz besteht dabei aus einem Kurvenring sowie einem Läufer mit Flügeln. Die Flügel sind in dem Läufer radial gleitend geführt. Außenseitig liegen die Flügel an dem Kurvenring an. Der Läufer ist dabei zwischen einer vorderen Stirnplatte und einer hinteren Druckplatte angeordnet. Die Druckplatte kann in alternativen Ausführungsformen ähnlich der Stirnplatte ausgebildet sein, so daß die Druckplatte auch als Stirnplatte bezeichnet werden kann.The well-known from DE 41 12 196 A1 vane pump has in the usual way on a drive shaft on a rotor set. The runner set consists of a curve ring and a runner with wings. The wings are in the runner guided radially sliding. On the outside, the wings abut the curve ring. Of the Runner is between a front end plate and a rear pressure plate arranged. The pressure plate may be similar in alternative embodiments Face plate be formed so that the pressure plate can also be referred to as a face plate.

Hinter der aus der gattungsgemäßen Schrift bekannten Druckplatte befindet sich ein Druckraum, der über Drucköffnungen, die im allgemeinen als Druckniere bezeichnet werden, mit den druckfördernden Förderräumen in Verbindung steht. Der Druckraum bewirkt eine Stirnspielkompensation, um das Lecköl unter Druck zu minimieren. Die Förderräume werden zwischen dem Läufer, dem Kurvenring und den Flügeln gebildet. Das Druckmittel, im allgemeinen Öl, fließt den saugseitigen Förderräumen von einem Tank über eine Zulaufbohrung und eine Ringkammer zu.Behind the known from the generic document Pressure plate is a pressure chamber that over Pressure ports, commonly referred to as Druckniere be, with the pressure-enhancing delivery chambers communicates. The pressure chamber causes a front play compensation, to minimize the leak under pressure. The extraction rooms are between the runner, formed the curve ring and the wings. The pressure medium, in general oil, flows through the suction-side delivery chambers from a tank via an inlet bore and an annular chamber too.

Wie sich in Versuchen und in der Praxis gezeigt hat, kann sich in nachteilhafter Weise ein Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Kurvenringes in die Stirnplatte bzw. die Stirnplatten einstellen. Dies erfolgt überwiegend bei der Stirnplatte, deren von dem Läufersatz abgewandte Stirnseite gehäuseseitig anliegt.As has been shown in experiments and in practice, can be disadvantageously a setting or embedding of the cam ring in the face plate or the Adjust face plates. This happens mostly at the face plate, facing away from the runner set Front side of the housing is applied.

Ein Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Kurvenringes resultiert daraus, daß durch den Betrieb der Pumpe, bzw. das Fördern des Arbeitsmittels zumeist unter hohem Druck Pulsationen entstehen, die zu Mikrobewegungen des Kurvenringes in radialer und axialer Richtung führen. Wie sich in Dauererprobungen gezeigt hat, führt dies in der Folge zu einem Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Kurvenringes in die gehäuseseitige Stirnplatte, d.h. in die Stirnplatte, die nicht an den Druckraum angrenzt. Materialermüdungserscheinungen werden dadurch beschleunigt bzw. erzeugt. Der Druckraum unterstützt das Einbetten des Kurvenringes in die gehäuseseitige Stirnplatte, da der Druckraum auf den Kurvenring einen Druck in diese Richtung ausübt. Insbesondere im LKW-Bereich wird mit einem sehr hohen Druckniveau von beispielsweise 200 bar gearbeitet, so daß ein Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Kurvenringes entsprechend beschleunigt wird. Die Setzerscheinung kann zum Aufheben des Stirnspieles des Läufersatzes führen. Die Folge daraus ist ein kompletter Funktionsausfall der Pumpe.A setting or embedding of the cam ring results from the fact that by the operation of the pump, or the conveying of the working fluid mostly under high pressure Pulsations arise, leading to micro-movements of the cam ring in the radial and axial directions. As has shown in endurance testing, this leads into the result of setting or embedding the cam ring into the housing-side face plate, i. in the Face plate, which is not adjacent to the pressure chamber. Material fatigue will be accelerated or generated. The print room supports embedding of the cam ring in the housing-side face plate, because the pressure chamber on the cam ring a Pressure in this direction. Especially in the truck sector comes with a very high pressure level of for example Worked 200 bar, so that a setting or Embedding the cam ring accelerates accordingly becomes. The setting phenomenon can be used to cancel the front play of the runner's set. The consequence is a complete malfunction of the pump.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu lösen und die bekannten Pumpen, insbesondere die Flügelzellen- und Rollenpumpen derart zu verbessern, daß ein Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Kurvenringes in eine Stirnplatte weitgehend ausgeschlossen ist.The present invention is based on the object to solve the disadvantages of the prior art and the known pumps, in particular the vane and To improve roller pumps such that a setting or Embedding the cam ring in a face plate largely is excluded.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing Part of claim 1 mentioned features solved.

Dadurch, daß die Stirnplatte mit wenigstens einem an den Läufersatz grenzenden Gegendruckfeld ausgebildet ist, kann ein Gegendruck auf den Läufersatz bzw. auf den im Läufersatz enthaltenen Kurvenring aufgebracht werden. Die axiale Bewegung des Läufersatzes bzw. -des Kurvenringes und somit der Setzvorgang in die mit dem Gegendruckfeld versehene Stirnplatte kann somit verhindert werden. Das Gegendruckfeld läßt sich in besonders einfacher Weise, annähernd kostenneutral, in die Stirnplatte integrieren und kann beispielsweise nutförmig ausgebildet sein.The fact that the face plate with at least one formed the runner set adjacent back pressure field is a back pressure on the runner set resp applied the cam ring contained in the rotor set become. The axial movement of the runner set or des Curved ring and thus the setting process in the with Counter-pressure field provided face plate can thus be prevented become. The counter pressure field can be in particular simple way, approximately cost neutral, in the Integrate face plate and can, for example, groove-shaped be educated.

Der Gegendruck bzw. die Gegenkraft wird dabei in einfacher Weise durch das Arbeitsmedium, beispielsweise Öl, und dem Druck, den die Pumpe erzeugt, aufgebaut. Somit verhindert das Arbeitsmittel bzw. der Pumpendruck, ohne daß eine weitere Zufuhr von Energie oder eine aufwendige Konstruktion notwendig wäre, ein Einbetten des Kurvenringes in die Stirnplatte.The back pressure or the counterforce is doing in a simple Way through the working medium, for example Oil, and the pressure generated by the pump, built. Thus, the working fluid or the pump pressure, without any further supply of energy or an elaborate construction would be necessary, an embedding of the cam ring in the face plate.

Das Gegendruckfeld läßt sich derart ausgestalten, daß ein Setzvorgang des Kurvenringes in der Stirnplatte ausgeschlossen ist, und trotzdem undichte Bereiche, durch die beispielsweise ein Leckageöl austreten könnte, vermieden werden. Hierzu kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Kurvenring auf dem Gegendruckfeld schwimmt.The counter-pressure field can be designed such that a setting process of the cam ring in the face plate is excluded, and yet leaky areas, could escape through the example, a leakage oil, be avoided. For this purpose, it can be provided that the cam ring floats on the counter pressure field.

Selbstverständlich können auch beide, den Läufersatz umschließende Stirnplatten mit einem entsprechenden Gegendruckfeld versehen sein. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beschränkt sich nicht auf die Stirnplatten, die an ihrer von dem Läufersatz abgewandten Stirnseite an einer Gehäusewandung angeordnet sind, sondern erstreckt sich auch auf die Stirnplatten, die an der von dem Läufersatz abgewandten Stirnseite einen Druckraum oder dergleichen aufweisen.Of course, both, the runner set enclosing face plates with a corresponding Be provided counter pressure field. The solution according to the invention is not limited to the face plates, the on its front side facing away from the runner set a housing wall are arranged, but extends also on the face plates, which at the of the runner set facing away from a pressure chamber or the like.

Der Einsatz eines Gegendruckfeldes in einer der Stirnplatten ist sowohl bei einhübigen Flügelzellenpumpen als auch bei mehrhübigen Flügelzellenpumpen bzw. bei Rollenpumpen und weiteren Pumpenformen, bei denen ein Setzen bzw. Einbetten des Läufersatzes bzw. des Kurvenringes zu erwarten ist, möglich.The use of a back pressure field in one of the end plates is both with single-hull vane pumps as well as in mehrhübigen vane pumps or at Roller pumps and other pump forms, where a Setting or embedding the runner set or the curve ring is to be expected, possible.

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn das wenigstens eine Gegendruckfeld mit einer Druckniere der Stirnplatte in Verbindung steht und die Stirnplatte zwei Drucknieren mit jeweils einem zugeordneten Gegendruckfeld aufweist.It is advantageous if the at least one counter-pressure field with a pressure kidney of the face plate in conjunction stands and the front plate with two pressure kidneys each having an associated counter-pressure field.

Dadurch, daß die Stirnplatte zwei Drucknieren aufweist, die jeweils mit einem Gegendruckfeld verbunden sind, kann in einfacher Weise eine Gegenkraft bzw. ein Gegendruck aufgebaut werden, der ein Setzen des Kurvenrings in die entsprechende Stirnplatte verhindert. Das Einbringen des Arbeitsmittels erfolgt in einfacher Weise durch die Verbindung der Druckniere mit dem Gegendruckfeld. Konstruktiv sind hierfür keine besonderen Maßnahmen erforderlich, da die Stirnplatte in allgemeinen Ausführungsformen zwei Drucknieren aufweist.Characterized in that the face plate has two pressure kidneys, each connected to a back pressure field can, in a simple way, a drag or a Counterpressure are built, the setting of the cam ring prevented in the corresponding face plate. The introduction of the working fluid is done in a simple Way through the connection of the printing kidney with the counter pressure field. Structurally, there are no special ones Action required because the face plate in general Embodiments has two pressure kidneys.

In vorteilhafter Weise ermöglicht der Einsatz von zwei Drucknieren bzw. zwei damit verbundenen Gegendruckfeldern, das Aufbauen eines über die Fläche relativ konstanten Gegendruckes, wodurch die Belastung für die einzelnen Bauteile verringert und das Auftreten von undichten Stellen vermieden wird.Advantageously, the use of two allows Printing kidney or two associated back pressure fields, Building a relatively constant over the surface Counterpressure, thereby reducing the burden on the reduced individual components and the occurrence of leaks are avoided.

Erfindungsgemäß kann ferner vorgesehen sein, daß das Gegendruckfeld im Bereich einer Auflagefläche des Kurvenringes angeordnet ist.According to the invention may also be provided that the Counter-pressure field in the area of a bearing surface of the cam ring is arranged.

Wie sich in Versuchen herausgestellt hat, tritt die Setzerscheinung des Läufersatzes primär im Bereich der Auflagefläche des Kurvenringes auf. Eine Anordnung des Gegendruckfeldes in diesem Bereich hat sich daher für einen besonders effektiven Einsatz als geeignet herausgestellt.As has been shown in experiments, the occurs Settling of the runner set primarily in the field of Support surface of the cam ring on. An arrangement of the Back pressure field in this area has therefore for a particularly effective use proved suitable.

In einer konstruktiven Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann ferner vorgesehen sein, daß die wenigstens eine Druckniere der mit dem Gegendruckfeld versehenen Stirnplatte als Sackbohrung ausgebildet ist oder durch das angrenzende Gehäuse oder einen Gehäusedeckel an der von dem Läufersatz abgewandten Stirnseite begrenzt ist.In a constructive embodiment of the invention can also be provided that the at least one Print kidney provided with the counter pressure field Face plate is designed as a blind hole or through the adjacent housing or a housing cover delimited facing away from the runner end face is.

Eine derartige Ausgestaltung hat sich für den Einsatz von Flügelzellenpumpen, Rollenpumpen oder dergleichen als besonders geeignet herausgestellt.Such a configuration has for use vane pumps, roller pumps or the like proved to be particularly suitable.

Ein Einströmen des Arbeitsmittels zwischen dem Gehäuse und der mit dem Gegendruckfeld versehene Stirnplatte ist im allgemeinen nicht gewünscht und kann durch die Ausgestaltung der Druckniere als Sackbohrung bzw. dadurch, daß die Druckniere durch das angrenzende Gehäuse oder einen Gehäusedeckel begrenzt wird, verhindert werden.An inflow of the working fluid between the housing and the face plate provided with the counter pressure field is not desired in general and can by the Design of the pressure kidney as a blind hole or thereby, that the pressure kidney through the adjacent housing or a housing cover is limited prevented become.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß wenigstens eine Stirnplatte einstückig mit dem Gehäusedeckel und/oder dem Gehäuse ausgebildet ist.In a further development of the invention can be provided be that at least one end plate integral with the housing cover and / or the housing formed is.

Selbstverständlich kann in alternativen Ausführungsformen auf eine separate Ausbildung einer Stirnplatte verzichtet werden. Ein Gehäuse oder ein Gehäusedeckel, der die Funktionen der Stirnplatte enthält, kann erfindungsgemäß ebenfalls problemlos mit einem Gegendruckfeld versehen werden, da ein Setzen des Läufersatzes bzw. des Kurvenringes auch in diesem Fall auftreten kann. Stirnplatten, die in dem Gehäuse oder in dem Gehäusedeckel integriert sind, sind bereits aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Eine der wesentlichen Funktionen der Stirnplatten ist auch das Begrenzen des Läufersatzes.Of course, in alternative embodiments on a separate formation of a face plate be waived. A housing or a housing cover, which contains the functions of the end plate, according to the invention also easily with a back pressure field Be provided as a setting of the runner set or of the cam ring also occur in this case can. End plates that are in the housing or in the housing cover are integrated, are already off known in the art. One of the essential Functions of the face plates is also limiting the Rotor assembly.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen und aus dem nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel.Advantageous embodiments and further developments of Invention will become apparent from the further subclaims and from the following with reference to the drawing illustrated in principle embodiment.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt hierbei, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, eine besonders kostengünstig zu realisierende Ausgestaltung, in der die Gegendruckfelder 15 in der Stirnplatte 6 integriert sind. Die Gegendruckfelder 15 sind dabei ringbogenförmig ausgebildet, können jedoch in alternativen Ausgestaltungen auch andere an die Stirnplatte 6 angepaßte Formen aufweisen. Die Gegendruckfelder 15 können als Nuten, Vertiefungen, Aussparungen, Einkerbungen, Einschnitte, Aushöhlungen oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein. Dabei hat sich die Ausbildung als Nut als besonders geeignet herausgestellt.As can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, are the back pressure fields 16 through the housing side Limited end plate 6 and the cam ring 3. The embodiment shows here, as in particular from Fig. 2 can be seen, a particularly inexpensive too realizing embodiment in which the counter-pressure fields 15 are integrated in the face plate 6. The counter pressure fields 15 are formed annular arc, however, in alternative embodiments also have other adapted to the face plate 6 forms. The counter-pressure fields 15 can be used as grooves, depressions, Recesses, notches, cuts, Hollows or the like may be formed. there Training as a groove has proven to be particularly suitable exposed.

Die in Fig. 2 erkennbaren Bohrungen 17 dienen zum Fixieren der gehäuseseitigen Stirnplatte 6 an dem Kurvenring 3. Hierzu können beispielsweise Paßstifte mit einer Stärke von 5 mm eingesetzt werden. Selbstverständlich ist die erfindungsgemäße Lösung nicht auf die dargestellte Pumpenart beschränkt. Darüber hinaus ergeben sich für den Fachmann naheliegende Lösungen, insbesondere für einen weiteren Einsatz der Gegendruckfelder 15. Hierzu kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, daß auch die deckelseitige Stirnplatte 8 bzw. die Druckplatte mit Gegendruckfeldern 15 ergänzend oder alternativ zu dem Einsatz von Gegendruckfeldern 15 bei der deckelseitigen Stirnplatte 8, versehen ist. Die gehäuseseitige Stirnplatte 6 bzw. die deckelseitige Stirnplatte 8 können selbstverständlich auch einstückig mit dem Gehäuse 7 bzw. dem Gehäusedeckel 9 ausgebildet bzw. in diesen integriert sein. The recognizable in Fig. 2 holes 17 are used for fixing the housing-side end plate 6 on the cam ring 3. For this purpose, for example, dowels with a thickness of 5 mm are used. Of course the solution according to the invention is not on the pump type is limited. Furthermore arise obvious solutions for the person skilled in the art, in particular for a further use of the counter-pressure fields 15. For this purpose, for example, provided be that even the cover-side end plate 8 and the printing plate with counter pressure fields 15 in addition or alternatively to the use of back pressure fields 15 in the cover-side end plate 8, is provided. The housing-side end plate 6 and the lid-side Face plate 8 can of course also in one piece with the housing 7 or the housing cover. 9 be trained or integrated in these.
