Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suction jet pump, which is provided in particular for delivering fuel in a fuel tank, with a nozzle which is arranged in front of a mixing tube and can be connected to a propellant line and has a nozzle channel.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing a nozzle for a suction jet pump.
  • suction jet pumps are frequently used in fuel tanks of today's motor vehicles in order to convey fuel from one chamber of the fuel tank to another chamber or to fill a swirl pot.
  • the nozzle of the known suction jet pump is made together with the housing in one piece from the plastic POM.
  • An injection mold is used to manufacture the nozzle.
  • the nozzle channel is produced by the injection molding process from a core of the injection mold.
  • a disadvantage of the known suction jet pump is that the nozzle channel has a very large diameter of mostly 0.5 mm. As a result, the suction jet pump has a very large consumption of propellant. This leads to high energy consumption of a feed pump supplying the suction jet pump with propellant. A reduction in the diameter of the nozzle channel is usually not possible due to the very large housing dimensions in relation to the nozzle channel, since the diameter of the core is not less than 0.5 mm for reasons of stability. allowed to walk.
  • the known suction jet pump has a propellant consumption of 25 liters per hour with this diameter of the nozzle channel.
  • the invention is based on the problem of designing a suction jet pump of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it has a particularly low consumption of propellant. Furthermore, a method for producing a nozzle for a suction jet pump which has a particularly low consumption of propellant is to be created.
  • the first-mentioned problem is solved according to the invention in that the nozzle has a nozzle insert as a separate component.
  • This design reduces the size of the component receiving the nozzle channel, so that smaller tools can be used for the production of the nozzle insert as an injection molded part, which allow the use of cores with a much smaller diameter.
  • nozzle channels of, for example, 0.3 mm can be injection molded without much effort generate reliable. This means that these nozzle inserts can be made from POM at particularly low cost.
  • the nozzle insert is made of metal.
  • the nozzle channel can be produced from metal using various manufacturing processes with a particularly small diameter.
  • nozzle ducts with a diameter of 0.3 mm can also be produced in Meell with little effort.
  • the suction jet pump according to the invention has a propellant consumption of approx. 10 liters per hour.
  • the suction jet pump according to the invention has a particularly low consumption of propellant.
  • the suction jet pump according to the invention has a particularly low energy consumption.
  • Another advantage of this design is that cavitation in the area of the nozzle channel can be largely prevented by a suitable selection of a plastic or a metal for the nozzle use.
  • the suction jet pump according to the invention thus has a consistently high delivery rate.
  • the nozzle can be manufactured particularly inexpensively if the metal of the nozzle insert is brass.
  • the production of the suction jet pump according to the invention for different areas of application with different intended pump capacities is particularly simple if the nozzle has a nozzle housing with a connection for the propellant line and the nozzle housing is designed to hold the nozzle insert. This allows the nozzle insert to be used for the intended application the suction jet pump with standard nozzle housings.
  • the nozzle housing can now be designed in one piece, since the nozzle insert is now an element closing the nozzle housing. This means there is no need to weld an end cap onto the nozzle housing.
  • the attachment of the nozzle insert to the nozzle housing is particularly simple if the nozzle insert is pot-shaped and overlaps an edge of the nozzle housing.
  • the second-mentioned problem namely the creation of a method for producing a nozzle for a suction jet pump that has a particularly low consumption of propellant, is solved according to the invention in that the nozzle insert is made of plastic, preferably POM, by the injection molding process, the nozzle channel producing during the injection molding becomes.
  • nozzle channels with a particularly small diameter can easily be produced in the nozzle insert if the nozzle channel is incorporated by means of a laser beam.
  • the manufacture of the nozzle channel in a metal nozzle insert requires a particularly low outlay for a production system if the nozzle channel is machined into the nozzle insert using a drilling tool.
  • the eroding process is conceivable as a further advantageous development.
  • the manufacture of the nozzle is particularly cost-effective if the nozzle insert and the nozzle housing are pressed together or clipped by means of locking elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a suction jet pump according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the nozzle of the suction jet pump according to the invention from FIG. 1 before assembly.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a suction jet pump with a nozzle 1 and with a mixing tube 2.
  • the nozzle 1 has a connection 3 for a propellant line, not shown.
  • the mixing tube 2 has a mixing area 4, in which propellant conveyed through the nozzle 1 and liquid drawn in from the area between the nozzle 1 and the mixing tube 2 mix. The liquid with the propellant then reaches a diffuser 5.
  • the mixing tube 2 is shown in section to clarify the drawing. Flows of the propellant and of aspirated liquid are also marked with arrows.
  • Such a suction jet pump is particularly suitable for conveying fuel within a fuel tank (not shown) of a motor vehicle.
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the nozzle 1 before its assembly.
  • the nozzle 1 has a nozzle housing 6 and a nozzle insert 7.
  • the nozzle housing 6 is made of plastic by injection molding, while the nozzle insert 7 consists of POM.
  • a nozzle channel 8 is arranged in the nozzle insert 7.
  • the nozzle channel 8 was produced with a core in the injection mold.
  • the nozzle housing 6 has a projecting edge 9 which is overlapped by the nozzle insert 7 in the assembled state.
  • the nozzle housing 6 and the nozzle insert 7 are connected to one another by pressing.
  • the nozzle insert 7 has a projection 10. In the assembled state of the nozzle 1, the projection 10 penetrates into a groove 11 arranged in the edge 9 of the nozzle housing 6. As a result, the nozzle insert 7 and the nozzle housing 6 can be reliably connected to one another.
  • On the nozzle housing 6, a latching hook 12 is arranged, with which the suction jet pump can be clipped with adjacent components.
  • the mixing tube 2 shown in FIG. 1 and the nozzle housing 6 can be produced together from the plastic POM and can, for example, be glued or welded to one another.

Abstract

Un éjecteur permettant de refouler du carburant dans un réservoir comprend un insert de buse (7) distinct pourvu d'un canal d'écoulement (8). L'insert de buse peut être réalisé en matière plastique selon le procédé de moulage par injection ou bien en métal. Le canal d'écoulement (8) peut avoir un diamètre particulièrement faible en raison du faible encombrement en cas de composant en matière plastique ou par sélection de métal comme matière première pour l'insert de buse. L'éjecteur se distingue par une consommation de l'agent moteur particulièrement faible.
