In order to prevent the cover from being deformed under the effect of the pressure thereby creating a leakage zone between the delivery zone and the suction zone, the end shields each consist of a disc (8) integral with one end of the driven pinion (5), the discs (8) and the driven pinion (5) being concentric, the discs (8) covering the teeth of the driven pinion (5). The pressure exerted on the outer surface of the discs prevents them from being deformed such that practically no axial leakage zone is formed. Additionally, the discs can serve as guiding axis for the rotation of the driven pinion.

Description

POMPE A ENGRENAGE FLASQUEE FLANGED GEAR PUMP
DescriptionDescription
La présente invention concerne une pompe à engrenage comprenant un corps de pompe fermé par un couvercle formant une cavité dans laquelle se trouve un pignon menant pouvant être entraîné en rotation par un axe menant auquel il est fixé, un pignon mené dont les dents coopèrent avec les dents du pignon menant de sorte à être entraîné en rotation par celui-ci et deux flasques situées de part et d'autre du pignon mené pénétrant dans une cavité pratiquée à cet effet dans le corps de pompe et le couvercle respectivement, des moyens étant prévus pour exercer une pression sur la face extérieure des flasques.The present invention relates to a gear pump comprising a pump body closed by a cover forming a cavity in which there is a driving pinion which can be rotated by a driving pin to which it is fixed, a driven pinion whose teeth cooperate with the teeth of the pinion driving so as to be driven in rotation by the latter and two flanges located on either side of the driven pinion penetrating into a cavity made for this purpose in the pump body and the cover respectively, means being provided to exert pressure on the outer face of the flanges.
De telles pompes sont couramment utilisées, notamment comme pompe à huile, à essence ou à gas-oil. Elles ont pour inconvénient majeur que le couvercle risque de se déformer sous l'effet de la pression régnant dans la zone de refoulement entraînant un jeu axial du pignon fou. La déformation du couvercle provoque une zone de fuite entre le refoulement et l'aspiration, si bien que le rendement volumétrique de la pompe diminue.Such pumps are commonly used, in particular as an oil, petrol or diesel pump. They have the major drawback that the cover risks being deformed under the effect of the pressure prevailing in the discharge zone, causing axial play of the idler gear. The deformation of the cover causes a leakage zone between the discharge and the suction, so that the volumetric efficiency of the pump decreases.
De nombreux documents (FR 1 239 211 A, US 3 046 902 A, DE 11 72 959 B, GB 661 772 A et GB 1 067 552 A) ont proposé d'intercaler entre les pignons et le boîtier quatre manchons coulissants munis de logements pour les axes des pignons. Ces manchons ont pour fonction de rendre étanche la pompe en s'appuyant sur les pignons.Numerous documents (FR 1 239 211 A, US 3 046 902 A, DE 11 72 959 B, GB 661 772 A and GB 1 067 552 A) have proposed to insert between the pinions and the housing four sliding sleeves provided with housings for the pinion axes. These sleeves have the function of sealing the pump by pressing on the pinions.
Pour cela, les faces extérieures des manchons sont soumises à une certaine pression.For this, the outer faces of the sleeves are subjected to a certain pressure.
Dans le premier document les faces extérieures sont soumises à la pression d'entrée de la pompe, de sorte que le risque de reflux entre les faces latérales des pignons et les manchons n'est pas exclu, la pression régnant dans la zone de refoulement étant supérieure à la pression exercée sur les manchons. Dans les quatre autres documents, les faces extérieures sont soumises au moins en partie à la pression de sortie. Ces manchons ont une forme circulaire correspondant sensiblement au diamètres des pignons avec un méplat correspondant au plan médian entre les deux pignons. Ces manchons sont donc bloqués en rotation. Par ailleurs, les méplats forment deux à deux une jonction au niveau du plan médian entre les deux pignons, là où le risque de refoulement est le plus grand.In the first document, the outer faces are subjected to the inlet pressure of the pump, so that the risk of backflow between the lateral faces of the pinions and the sleeves is not excluded, the pressure prevailing in the discharge zone being greater than the pressure exerted on the sleeves. In the other four documents, the exterior faces are subjected at least in part to the outlet pressure. These sleeves have a circular shape corresponding substantially to the diameter of the pinions with a flat corresponding to the median plane between the two pinions. These sleeves are therefore blocked in rotation. In addition, the flats form two by two a junction at the median plane between the two gables, where the risk of backflow is greatest.
Ces pompes sont compliquées et nécessitent un ajustage précis des différentes pièces, ce qui les rend coûteuses et fragiles. L'objectif de l'invention est donc de développer une pompe du type de celui présenté dans le préambule dont le couvercle ne risque pas de se déformer sous l'effet de la pression et qui soit d'une conception plus simple.These pumps are complicated and require precise adjustment of the different parts, which makes them expensive and fragile. The objective of the invention is therefore to develop a pump of the type presented in the preamble, the cover of which does not risk being deformed under the effect of pressure and which is of a simpler design.
Cet objectif est atteint par la pompe selon l'invention dans laquelle les flasques sont constitués chacun d'un disque solidaire d'une extrémité du pignon mené, les disques et le pignon mené étant concentriques, les disques recouvrant les dents du pignon mené. Ainsi, les flasques tournent en même temps que le pignon mené. Seul le pignon mené est muni de flasques qui couvrent ses dents, ce qui rend les pompes conformes à l'invention plus simples à réaliser. La pression exercée sur la face extérieure des disques servant de flasques empêchent ceux-ci de se déformer de sorte qu'il ne se forme pratiquement pas de zone de fuite axiale entre l'aspiration et le refoulement comme c'est le cas dans les pompes à engrenage simples. En outre, toute la zone de croisement des dents est couverte par les disques, de sorte qu'aucune jonction le long du plan médian entre les pignons ne risque de produire de fuite. Par ailleurs, les disques enserrent les dents du pignon menant ce qui empêche un jeu axial des pignons. Le rendement volumétrique de la pompe s'en trouve amélioré. Les disques peuvent avoir un diamètre supérieur au diamètre extérieur du pignon, bien que ce ne soit pas obligatoire.This objective is achieved by the pump according to the invention in which the flanges each consist of a disc secured to one end of the driven pinion, the discs and the driven pinion being concentric, the discs covering the teeth of the driven pinion. Thus, the flanges rotate at the same time as the driven pinion. Only the driven pinion is provided with flanges which cover its teeth, which makes the pumps according to the invention simpler to produce. The pressure exerted on the external face of the discs serving as flanges prevents them from deforming so that there is practically no zone of axial leakage between the suction and the discharge as is the case in pumps. with single gears. In addition, the entire tooth crossing area is covered by the discs, so that no junction along the median plane between the pinions is likely to produce leakage. Furthermore, the discs enclose the teeth of the driving pinion which prevents axial play of the pinions. The volumetric efficiency of the pump is thereby improved. The discs may have a diameter greater than the outside diameter of the pinion, although this is not compulsory.
Dans un mode privilégié de réalisation de l'invention, les flasques servent de guidage pour la rotation du pignon mené. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'avoir outre les flasques encore un axe de guidage, comme en sont munies les pompes de l'état de la technique.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flanges serve as a guide for the rotation of the driven pinion. It is therefore not necessary to have, in addition to the flanges, a guide axis, as are provided with the pumps of the prior art.
Il est conforme à l'invention que les moyens pour exercer une pression sur les faces extérieures des disques comprennent un premier et un second espace situés entre la face externe des disques et le fond de la cavité pratiquée dans le corps de pompe et dans le couvercle respectivement, et dans lesquels sont appliquées des pressions sensiblement identiques. Pour simplifier la pompe à engrenage, il est préférable qu'un canal traverse le pignon mené de part en part mettant en contact le premier et le second espaces. On est ainsi sûr que les deux disques sont soumis à la même pression. De même, il est préférable que les premier et second espaces soient mis en contact avec la zone de refoulement de la pompe. Pour cela, on pourra prévoir un canal ou une rainure mettant en contact la zone de refoulement de la pompe et l'un au moins des espaces. Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié, les disques sont évidés pour gagner en poids.It is in accordance with the invention that the means for exerting pressure on the external faces of the discs comprise a first and a second space situated between the external face of the discs and the bottom of the cavity formed in the pump body and in the cover. respectively, and in which substantially identical pressures are applied. To simplify the gear pump, it is preferable for a channel to pass through the driven pinion right through, bringing the first and second spaces into contact. It is thus certain that the two discs are subjected to the same pressure. Likewise, it is preferable that the first and second spaces are brought into contact with the discharge zone of the pump. For this, provision may be made for a channel or a groove bringing the pump discharge zone into contact with at least one of the spaces. In a preferred embodiment, the discs are hollowed out to gain weight.
L'invention sera décrite plus en détail ci-dessous à l'aide des figures suivantes : Figure 1 : Vue en coupe longitudinale d'une pompe à engrenage ;The invention will be described in more detail below with the aid of the following figures: Figure 1: View in longitudinal section of a gear pump;
Figure 2 : Vue en coupe transversale d'une pompe à engrenage de l'état de la technique avec un couvercle déformé ; Figure 3 : Vue en coupe transversale d'une pompe à engrenage selon l'invention.Figure 2: Cross-sectional view of a state-of-the-art gear pump with a deformed cover; Figure 3: Cross-sectional view of a gear pump according to the invention.
La pompe à engrenage conforme à l'invention est constituée principalement d'un corps de pompe (2) fermé par un couvercle (3) présentant une cavité principale dans laquelle se trouvent deux pignons (4, 5) dont les dents coopèrent ensemble. Le premier pignon (4), le pignon menant, est entraîné par un axe menant (1). Dès que le pignon menant (4) est en rotation, il entraîne le second pignon (5), le pignon mené. La pompe présente une zone d'aspiration d'un côté et une zone de refoulement de l'autre. Sous l'effet de la différence de pression entre la zone de refoulement et la zone d'aspiration et de la rotation des dents, le couvercle des pompes simples a tendance à se déformer, comme le montre la figure 2. Il apparaît alors une zone de fuite axiale (6) entre la zone de refoulement et la zone d'aspiration, ce qui diminue le rendement volumétrique de la pompe et augmente le jeu axial des pignons. La circulation normale du fluide dans la pompe est représentée à la figure 1 sous forme de flèches épaisses, tandis que le reflux de fluide dû à la fuite axiale est représenté par des flèches plus fines.The gear pump according to the invention mainly consists of a pump body (2) closed by a cover (3) having a main cavity in which there are two pinions (4, 5) whose teeth cooperate together. The first pinion (4), the driving pinion, is driven by a driving pin (1). As soon as the driving pinion (4) is rotating, it drives the second pinion (5), the driven pinion. The pump has a suction zone on one side and a discharge zone on the other. Under the effect of the pressure difference between the delivery zone and the suction zone and the rotation of the teeth, the cover of the simple pumps tends to deform, as shown in Figure 2. A zone then appears axial leakage (6) between the discharge zone and the suction zone, which reduces the volumetric efficiency of the pump and increases the axial play of the pinions. The normal circulation of the fluid in the pump is represented in FIG. 1 in the form of thick arrows, while the reflux of fluid due to the axial leakage is represented by finer arrows.
Pour contourner ce problème, la pompe à engrenage de l'invention est munie d'un pignon mené (5) renforcé par des disques (8). A chaque extrémité du pignon mené (5) se trouve un disque (8) solidaire du pignon et qui pénètre dans une cavité (10) pratiquée à cet effet dans le corps de pompe (2) et dans le couvercle (3) respectivement. Un espace est ménagé entre la surface extérieure des disques et le fond de la cavité dans laquelle ils pénètrent. Le diamètre des disques correspond au diamètre du pignon aux tolérances près. Ainsi, les dents du pignon menant (4) sont enserrées dans la zone sensible de l'engrenage par les disques (8). La pression exercée sur la face extérieure des disquesTo circumvent this problem, the gear pump of the invention is provided with a driven pinion (5) reinforced by discs (8). At each end of the driven pinion (5) is a disc (8) integral with the pinion and which enters a cavity (10) made for this purpose in the pump body (2) and in the cover (3) respectively. A space is provided between the outer surface of the discs and the bottom of the cavity into which they penetrate. The diameter of the discs corresponds to the diameter of the pinion to the nearest tolerances. Thus, the teeth of the driving pinion (4) are clamped in the sensitive region of the gear by the discs (8). The pressure exerted on the outside of the discs
(8) empêche une déformation de ceux-ci. L'étanchéité entre la zone de refoulement et la zone d'aspiration est ainsi assurée. En effet, aucune jonction le long du plan médian entre les pignons ne risque de provoquer de fuite contrairement aux pompes de l'état de la technique. De plus, seul le pignon mené (5) est muni de flasques (8), ce qui rend la pompe conforme à l'invention plus simple et donc plus économique à fabriquer. Par ailleurs, les disques (8) étant solidaires du pignon mené (5), ils assurent l'étanchéité même lorsque la pression s'exerçant sur les faces extérieures des disques (8) est encore faible, notamment au démarrage de la pompe.(8) prevents deformation thereof. The seal between the discharge zone and the suction zone is thus ensured. Indeed, no junction along the median plane between the pinions is likely to cause leakage unlike the pumps of the prior art. In addition, only the driven pinion (5) is provided with flanges (8), which makes the pump according to the invention simpler and therefore more economical to manufacture. Furthermore, the discs (8) being integral with the driven pinion (5), they ensure sealing even when the pressure exerted on the external faces of the discs (8) is still low, in particular when the pump is started.
Les disques remplissent également la fonction d'axe de guidage du pignon mené (5), de sorte qu'il est également possible de renoncer à un tel axe, ce qui n'est pas le cas des pompes de l'état de la technique, les flasques ne pouvant pas tourner en raison même de leur forme.The discs also fulfill the function of the guide pinion of the driven pinion (5), so that it is also possible to dispense with such an axis, which is not the case with prior art pumps. , the flanges cannot rotate due to their shape.
Pour assurer une pression identique sur les deux disques, il est prévu un canal (9) mettant en contact les deux cavités (10) des disques (8).To ensure identical pressure on the two discs, a channel (9) is provided which brings the two cavities (10) of the discs (8) into contact.
La pression régnant sur la face extérieure des disques (8) est exercée par le fluide pompé grâce à une mise en communication non représentée des cavités (10) avec la zone de refoulement. Cette mise en communication peut être réalisée sous la forme d'un canal ou d'une rainure.The pressure prevailing on the outer face of the discs (8) is exerted by the pumped fluid by means of a communication (not shown) of the cavities (10) with the delivery zone. This communication can be carried out in the form of a channel or a groove.
Les disques (8) sont rendus solidaires du pignon mené par des moyens appropriés (7). Pour gagner du poids, il est préférable que la surface externe des disques (8) soit évidée.The discs (8) are made integral with the pinion driven by appropriate means (7). To gain weight, it is preferable that the external surface of the discs (8) is hollowed out.
Grâce à une réduction importante des jeux, et donc à une diminution considérable des fuites entre la zone de refoulement et la zone d'aspiration, le rendement volumétrique de la pompe conforme à l'invention est amélioré. Par ailleurs, les disques assurent une meilleure stabilité des pignons qui ont ainsi moins de jeu.Thanks to a significant reduction in clearances, and therefore to a considerable reduction in leaks between the discharge zone and the suction zone, the volumetric efficiency of the pump according to the invention is improved. In addition, the discs ensure better stability of the pinions which thus have less play.
