Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel delivery unit of a motor vehicle with a fuel pump which has at least two inlet regions and two independent delivery chambers and with a filter module for filtering the fuel flowing into the inlet regions.
  • filter modules When used in today's motor vehicles fuel delivery units filter modules with one filter fabric for each of the inlet areas are used on the feed pump.
  • one of the delivery chamber serves to convey fuel from a surge pot to an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle.
  • the second, separate from the first delivery chamber delivery chamber serves to promote fuel in the swirl pot.
  • the filter fabric may have a designated mesh size for the particular application.
  • the invention is based on the problem to design a filter module of the type mentioned so that it is particularly inexpensive to produce. Furthermore, a structurally particularly simple fuel delivery unit to be created.
  • the filter module has a common filter region directly connected to both inlet regions of the fuel pump.
  • the fuel delivery unit according to the invention requires a particularly low production cost for the filter area.
  • the filter region can be manufactured in one piece for both inlet regions and therefore particularly cost-effectively.
  • the two filter areas can be mounted very easily in one operation.
  • the fuel delivery unit is particularly compact and requires very few components to be mounted. A complex attachment of multiple filter areas on the feed pump is avoided thanks to the invention.
  • the fuel delivery unit is therefore structurally particularly simple.
  • Different filter levels of the fuel streams supplied to the delivery chambers can be easily generated according to another advantageous development of the invention if a filter region covers only one of the inlet regions of a plurality of filter regions with different pore widths arranged one above the other.
  • the filter region covering the one inlet region can be provided with a particularly small pore width.
  • the fuel supplied to this inlet area thus contains less dirt particles than the fuel which is supplied to the other inlet area.
  • the fuel delivery unit according to the invention could have a separate connection piece in the filter module for each of the inlet regions.
  • the filter module is structurally particularly simple if it has a single connection piece for both inlet areas.
  • a faulty assembly or a rotation of the filter module relative to the fuel pump can be according to a Another advantageous development of the invention simply avoid when a the inlet portions exhibiting housing part and a connecting piece of the filter module each have round cross-sections for the inlet areas and when the cross sections merge into one another.
  • a mutual influence of the currents in the inlet regions can be according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention easily avoided if the housing part has a guided up to the housing of the filter module partition.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically the the bottom of a fuel tank 1 facing region of a fuel delivery unit 2 in longitudinal section.
  • the fuel delivery unit 2 is mounted within a swirl pot 3 and has a fuel pump 5 driven by an electric motor 4.
  • the fuel pump 5 has a between two housing parts 6, 7 rotatably arranged impeller 8.
  • the housing parts 6, 7 are held by a spacer ring 9 at a distance.
  • the impeller 8 has in its end faces a plurality of rings 10 - 12 of vane chambers bounding vanes.
  • the wreaths 10 - 12 are arranged opposite each other partially annular channels 13 - 15.
  • the partially annular channels 13-15 and the blade chambers each form inlet chambers 16, 17 to outlet regions 18, 19 extending delivery chambers 20, 21.
  • the fuel pump 5 thus operates on the principle of the side channel pump.
  • the innermost of the delivery chambers 21 serves to supply an ejector 22 shown in Figure 3 with propellant.
  • the radially outer rings 10, 11 of the blade chambers are interconnected and form with the corresponding part-annular channels 13, 14 a single delivery chamber 20 for conveying fuel to an internal combustion engine, not shown, of the motor vehicle.
  • the fuel delivery unit 2 has a filter module 23 for both inlet regions 16, 17 with a common filter region 24 arranged in the surge pot 3.
  • the filter region 24 may be, for example, a filter fabric with a designated mesh size.
  • the filter region 24 can have a plurality of filter fabrics arranged one above the other with different mesh sizes, so that the fuel is first coarse and then finely filtered.
  • the filter region 24 is arranged on a connecting piece 25.
  • the connection piece 25 is inserted into the housing part 7 having the inlet regions 16, 17 and sealed by means of a sealing ring 26.
  • FIG. 2 shows the connection of the Connecting piece 25 with the housing part 7 in the region of the sealing ring 26 in a sectional view along the line II - II of Figure 1. It can be seen that the housing part 7 at the inlet portions 16, 17 each recesses 27 having a radius r and r Radii r merge into each other.
  • the connecting piece 25 is shaped accordingly and inserted into the recess 27.
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view through the fuel delivery unit 2 from FIG. 1 in the region of the suction jet pump 22.
  • the housing part 7 having the inlet regions 16, 17 has a receptacle 28 for the suction jet pump 22.
  • the suction jet pump 22 is manufactured in one piece with a nozzle 29 and a mixing tube 30 and plugged into the receptacle 28.
  • the mixing tube 30 and the nozzle 29 are connected to each other via webs 31.
  • the mixing tube 30 is guided into the swirl pot 3.
  • fuel is sucked from the swirl pot 3 via the filter module 23 shown in FIG. 1 and conveyed via the radially inner delivery chamber 21 to the nozzle 29 of the suction jet pump 22.
  • the ejector 22 sucks fuel from the fuel tank 1 and promotes this in the swirl pot 3.
  • the flows of the fuel are marked with arrows in the drawing.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the fuel delivery unit 32 according to the invention in longitudinal section. This differs from that of FIG. 1 primarily in that inlet regions 33, 34 are separated from one another by a partition wall 36 arranged in a housing part 35.
  • a filter module 37 with a common filter region 38 also has a dividing wall 40 in a connecting piece 39. This dividing wall 40 is guided from the housing part 35 as far as a second filter region 41. As seen in the flow direction, this second filter region 41 is arranged behind the common filter region 38 and has a particularly small pore width.
  • the common filter region 38 therefore serves for coarse filtering, while the second filter region 41 is provided for the fine filtering of the fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine.
