Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor unit with a swirl pot, arranged in the swirl pot fuel pump and a pump in the swirl pot promotional ejector, wherein the ejector consists of a propulsion jet nozzle with a nozzle opening, a mixing tube, a suction port, a suction line connected thereto.
  • the Saugstahlpumpe serves to convey fuel from a fuel tank in a surge pot, which is disposed within the fuel tank.
  • fuel tanks have various shapes. With the adaptation of the fuel tank to the motor vehicle using the available space created fuel tank, which are divided into several chambers.
  • suction jet pumps are arranged at the bottom of the chambers or the areas of the fuel tank, from which the fuel is to be conveyed to the delivery unit. With the arrangement of the suction of the suction jet pump at the bottom of the fuel tank, the suction jet pump is always in the fuel and is therefore always ready for use.
  • Suction jet pumps are characterized by good efficiency.
  • the funding factor that is, the ratio of sum beam to propellant jet, is at least 7.
  • the disadvantage here is that with the fuel line to the suction jet pump and the sum of the suction jet pump line two lines are required, which must be installed and fixed in the fuel tank.
  • suction suction jet pumps which are arranged in the region of the conveyor unit. From the suction jet pump leads a suction line in the area from which the fuel is to be conveyed. To generate the necessary negative pressure in the suction line, the suction jet pump has a special jet nozzle.
  • the outlet opening of the propulsion jet nozzle is designed as a slot.
  • the propulsion jet is fanned out after emerging from the propulsion jet nozzle.
  • the fanned out propulsion jet closes the mixing tube, whereby the necessary negative pressure is generated in order to be able to suck in the fuel via the relatively long intake line.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is the low delivery factor of the suction suction jet pump, which is approximately at 2. This low conveying factor is due to the fanning of the propulsion jet after leaving themaschinedüse.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a suction suction jet pump with an improved delivery factor, the suction power is ensured even under unfavorable circumstances.
  • the suction jet pump should also be simple and compact and easy to assemble.
  • the conveyed medium emerging at high speed from the mixing tube is split and swirled in the region of the outlet opening of the mixing tube.
  • This turbulence of the medium ensures a permanent and reliable liquid closure of the outlet opening of the mixing tube, so that a sufficient negative pressure can form in the suction jet pump, which allows the suction of the medium to be conveyed over a long distance.
  • baffle element is integrally connected to the suction jet pump.
  • this connection is formed as at least one web which extends from the mixing tube to the baffle element.
  • the mixing tube facing surface of the baffle element is concave or formed as a pocket.
  • baffle element An equally favorable design of the baffle element is given with ribs on the mixing tube facing surface of the impact element.
  • the ribs can be integrally formed on the baffle element, when the baffle element is produced by injection molding.
  • the costs for the production of the concave surface or the ribs can be reduced if they are arranged in the region of the outlet opening of the mixing tube.
  • the suction jet pump can promote over the upper edge in the baffle, wherein it is located in the region of the upper edge.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the delivery unit is that impact element is arranged on another component of the delivery unit, in particular the swirl pot, the fuel pump, filter or pressure regulator.
  • Fig. 1 is a two chambers 2, 3 existing fuel tank 1 is shown.
  • a delivery unit 4 consisting of a swirl pot 5 and a fuel pump 6 arranged therein, fixed.
  • a feed line 7 the funded by the fuel pump 6 fuel is passed to an internal combustion engine, not shown.
  • a suction jet pump 8 is arranged, wherein the mixing tube 9 projects into the swirl pot.
  • fuel is supplied to the suction jet pump 8 from the fuel pump 6.
  • a further line 11 extends from the suction jet pump 9 into the other chamber 2.
  • fuel is conveyed from the chamber 2 directly into the swirl pot 5.
  • a baffle 12 is arranged downstream of the suction jet pump 8.
  • suction jet pump 8 consists of a propulsion jet nozzle 13, a mixing tube 14 with an outlet opening 15 and the suction line 11.
  • a baffle element 16 is arranged in the region of the outlet opening 15.
  • Whose outlet opening 15 facing surface 17 is concave, so that the emerging from the mixing tube 14 jet is swirled through the concave surface 17 and leads to a liquid closure of the mixing tube 14.
  • a sufficient negative pressure can build up in the suction steel pump 8, is conveyed through the fuel via the intake pipe 11 from the fuel tank.
  • suction jet pump 8 differs from the pump according to FIG. 2a in the baffle 16. Ribs 18 are integrally formed on the baffle 16, with which the same effect as with the concave surface is produced.
  • the mixing tube 14 of the suction jet pump 8 is provided with an outer, circumferential groove 19.
  • a clip 20 is arranged, which merges into a web 21.
  • the impact element 16 is integrally formed with a pocket 22.
  • This the impact element 16 having clips 20 is made as a simple design molded part particularly inexpensive injection molding.
  • the impact element 16 is made in one piece with the suction jet pump 8 by being connected via webs 23 to the outlet opening 15 of the mixing tube 14.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further non-inventive embodiment of the conveyor unit, in which the suction jet pump 8 is fixed to a cover 24 of the swirl pot 5.
  • the propulsion jet line 10 By means of the propulsion jet line 10, a propulsion jet from the fuel pump, not shown, the suction jet pump 8 is supplied.
  • a check valve in the propulsion jet line seals it against an idling.
  • the intake line 11 opens into the suction jet pump 8.
  • the propulsion jet exits through the propulsion jet nozzle 13 and into the mixing tube 14. After leaving the mixing tube 14, the jet hits the pocket 22, causing the jet to swirl and seal the outlet opening 15.
  • the pocket 22 is part of the baffle element 16, which is welded to the inner wall of the baffle 5.
  • baffle 16 may also be clipped with the swirl pot 5, in particular mounted on the upper edge of the swirl pot 5 or arranged on the cover 24. Due to the caused by the baffle liquid closure of the mixing tube 14 of the propellant jet generates a much greater negative pressure, which in turn is sufficient to promote a larger amount of fuel over a relatively large distance by means of the suction pipe 11 in the swirl pot 5.
