Definitions

  • the invention relates to a delivery unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates in particular to a gear pump.
  • a delivery unit is known, with a three-part housing, which is held together by through bolts, which can be designed as expansion screws.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a delivery unit, which has at least largely unaffected conveying properties in a wide temperature range of the temperature of the delivery unit.
  • the force-generating device makes it possible to produce a housing closing force acting between the housing parts, which counteracts an expansion of the housing when it is heated.
  • a housing closing force acting between the housing parts which counteracts an expansion of the housing when it is heated.
  • the housing parts of the housing expand and that this heating has an influence on gaps existing between the housing parts and / or on clearance dimensions present between the housing parts and the at least one delivery element. These gaps in turn have a direct influence on the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of a delivery unit.
  • An increase in the gap dimension can contribute to an increase in a leakage current, so that the volumetric efficiency of the delivery unit deteriorates.
  • a reduction of a gap between the at least one conveyor element and at least one of the housing parts can lead to an increase in the frictional force between these components, so that the mechanical efficiency of the delivery unit deteriorates.
  • the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of the delivery unit remains at least largely constant within a wide temperature range.
  • the invention relates to a fuel delivery unit for a motor vehicle.
  • Such delivery units are operated in a wide temperature range, which is dependent on the ambient temperature of the motor vehicle and on the pressure and the amount of fuel to be pumped or subsidized.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the housing parts are arranged along a housing axis and that the Genzosch narrowkraft acts at least partially in a direction parallel to the housing axis direction. This allows a particularly simple transmission of Gepatiusesch spakraft on the housing parts.
  • the Gerissasch amongkraft is a compressive force which presses the first housing part against the second housing part. This allows a particularly simple generation of the Gerissausesch amongkraft and a simple structure of the delivery unit.
  • the force-generating device comprises a storage space for receiving a pressurized or pressurizable fluid with which the housing closing force can be generated at least proportionally.
  • the fluid is formed by a medium to be conveyed by the delivery unit.
  • a Gepatiusesch spakraft be generated with the help of the medium to be pumped itself and with the aid of the delivery unit.
  • the use of a further medium and / or a further device for pressurizing the fluid is thus not required.
  • the storage space is fluid-effectively connected to a pressure region of the delivery unit or formed with this integral. As a result, a particularly simple delivery unit can be created.
  • a mechanical force generating element is provided with which the Gephousesch amongkraft is at least partially generated.
  • Such mechanical force generating element allows independent of the operating state of the delivery unit generating a Gephaseusesch spakraft.
  • the mechanical force generating element is designed in the form of a spring, in particular in the form of a compression spring for generating a compressive force.
  • At least one force-generating element is formed by a separate component from the connecting device.
  • a separate component makes it possible to generate a housing closure force independently of an expansion state of the connection device.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 An embodiment of an in FIGS. 1 and 2 as a whole designated by the reference numeral 10 delivery unit is designed as an internal gear pump.
  • the delivery aggregate 10 comprises a housing 12 which extends along a housing axis 14 between a drive side 16 and a cover side 18.
  • the housing 12 has a first housing part 20 arranged on the cover side and a second housing part 22 arranged adjacent thereto.
  • the housing 12 further comprises a third housing part 24, which is arranged adjacent to the second housing part 22 and on the first housing part 20 opposite side of the second housing part 22.
  • the first housing part 20 and the second housing part 22 together define a receiving space 26, in which conveying elements 28, 30 are accommodated.
  • a first conveying element 28 is designed in the form of a toothed wheel 32, which meshes with a second conveying element 30 in the form of a toothed wheel, which is designed as a ring gear 34.
  • the gear 32 rotates about a drive axis 36, which runs parallel to the housing axis 14.
  • the ring gear 34 rotates during operation of the delivery unit 10 about the housing axis 14, which is offset from the drive axis 36.
  • the gear 32 is rotatably connected to a drive shaft 38.
  • the drive shaft 38 is mounted in a bearing sleeve 40, which is in particular formed integrally with the second housing part 22.

  • the drive shaft 38 can be driven by means of a drive section 42 arranged at the end.
  • the drive section 42 is designed, for example, in the form of an inner hexagonal surface 44.
  • An end-side portion of the drive shaft 38 is sealed relative to the third housing part 24 by means of a drive-side sealing device 46.
  • the third housing part 24 has an integrally formed therewith flange 48, with which the delivery unit 10 on a support, not shown, for example, an internal combustion engine, can be fastened.
  • the third housing part 24 has a suction-side inlet 50 and a pressure-side outlet 52 for a medium to be conveyed, in particular for oil or fuel.
  • the input 50 is in particular in the form of a bore 50 formed, which opens at a Saugniere 54, which is formed in the third housing part 24.

  • the delivery unit 10 comprises a crescent-shaped section 66 which is arranged in the accommodation space 26 and which is preferably formed integrally with the second housing part 22.
  • the openings 56 and 62 of the second housing part 22 are configured kidney-shaped according to the shape of the suction region 58 or of the pressure region 64.
  • kidney-shaped recesses 68 and 70 are provided in the first housing part 20 adjacent to the conveying elements 28, 30 in the form of the gear 32 and the ring gear 34 .
  • the recesses 68, 70 are arranged and shaped with respect to a plane of rotation 72 of the gear 32 mirror-symmetrical to the openings 56 and 62, respectively.

  • the edge portion 82 engages behind a shoulder-shaped portion 84 of the third housing part 24. In this way, the first housing part 20, the second housing part 22 and the portion 84 of the third housing part 24 are positively received within the connecting element 76.
  • an annular seal 86 is arranged between the second housing part 22 and the side section 80 of the connecting element 76.
  • the kidney-shaped recess 70 is arranged on a receiving space 26 facing side of the first housing part 20.
  • the recess 70 is fluidically connected (for example by means of a line 88) to a storage space 90.

  • the seal 95 is disposed between the first housing part 20 and the transition between the lid portion 78 and the side portion 80 of the connecting member 76.
  • the components of the delivery unit heat up.

  • a pressurized fluid arranged in the storage space 90 can be used.
  • this fluid is a medium which is conveyed by means of the delivery unit 10, in particular fuel or oil.
  • the fluid-effective connection between the pressure region 64 and the storage space 90 ensures both a filling of the storage space 90 with the medium to be conveyed and also a pressurization of this medium.
