Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum pump with a cup-shaped housing, a rotor rotatably mounted eccentrically in the housing and a housing cover closing the pot-shaped housing, wherein the rotor has a rotor shaft which passes through the cup-shaped housing and through which the rotor is driven.
  • Vacuum pumps of such a construction are known. They usually have a housing made of metal, in which a rotor is rotatably supported by its rotor shaft and in which the work spaces are formed. The pump chamber is sealed to the atmosphere by pressurized oil lubrication.
  • the rotor shaft is rotated, for example, by the engine of a motor vehicle, in particular by its camshaft.
  • the supply of the vacuum pump with lubricating oil via the rotor shaft, which is provided for this purpose with an axial bore.
  • the drive In order to allow the lubricating oil to be introduced into the rotor shaft, the drive must be connected to the rotor shaft and in particular to the bore by a suitable means.
  • the document EP0199984 is the closest prior art.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a vacuum pump that can be easily connected reliably with an external oil supply.
  • This nipple is the link between the rotor shaft and drive, or external lubricating oil supply.
  • the connection nipple is designed so that it is a plug connection. A simple and automatable assembly is thereby ensured.
  • the nipple is made of plastic, in particular of an elastomer or a soft elastic thermoplastic. As a result, an axial offset and an angular offset can be compensated in a simple manner.
  • connection nipple has at least one peripheral bead on its proximal side engaging in the free end section of the bore. If the connection nipple is inserted into the free end portion of the bore, then the circumferential bead engages in the inner circumferential groove. The connection nipple is thus securely held.
  • a peripheral bead has a semicircular and a circumferential bead has a trapezoidal cross section.
  • the semicircular in cross-section circumferential bead serves to seal the connection nipple in the bore and the trapezoidal in cross-section codessswulst is axially arranged outside, wherein the cross-section decreases radially outward.
  • This peripheral bead is configured substantially frusto-conical and advantageously engages behind a step of the stepped bore.
  • connection nipple In order to ensure a defined installation of the connection nipple on the front side of the end portion of the bore, the connection nipple has a circumferential stop collar. In addition, a fluid-tight storage in the line of the lubricating oil supply is made possible by the fact that the connection nipple has a circumferential bead at its end section which is distal to the rotor shaft.
  • connection nipple distal end portion of the connection nipple has a larger diameter than the proximal end portion.
  • An optimal distribution of the lubricating oil in the vacuum pump is achieved in that the bore is a blind hole and at the bottom of the bore a transverse bore is provided.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a generally designated 10 vacuum pump whose housing 12 is closed by a housing cover 14.
  • a rotor 16 is rotatably mounted, the rotor shaft 18, the bottom 20 of the housing 12 passes through.
  • a coupling 24 which connects a drive 26, for example a camshaft, with the rotor shaft 18.
  • FIG. 2 shows the section II in an enlarged view and it can be clearly seen that the rotor shaft 18 has an axial bore 28.
  • This bore 28 serves to supply lubricating oil, which is distributed via a transverse bore 30 in the housing 12.
  • the bore 28 has an end portion 32 which is designed in a stepped manner. From the inside to the outside, a first inner circumferential groove 34 is followed by a first step 36, a second inner circumferential groove 38, a second step 40 and a frusto-conical widening end 42.
  • the proximal end portion 44 of a fitting nipple 46 is seated in the FIGS. 3 and 4 is shown enlarged.
  • the distal end portion 48 is inserted in a bore 50 through which lubricating oil is supplied.
  • the connecting nipple 46 has approximately at its center a stop collar 52, which comes into abutment with the nipple 46 inserted into the rotor shaft 18 at the end face 22 thereof. In this position of the connecting nipple 46 engages a first circumferential bead 54 in the first Circumferential groove 34 and behind the first stage 36, whereby the connection nipple 46 is held in the bore 28. On the proximal end portion 44 is still a second circumferential bead 56 which engages in the second circumferential groove 38.
  • the second circumferential groove 38 has a larger radius than the semi-circular in cross-section second peripheral bead 56, so that a substantially linear and thus fluid-tight system is achieved.
  • the cross section of the first circumferential bead 54 is trapezoidal, which facilitates insertion of the connecting nipple 46 into the bore 28.
  • the easy insertion is also by the frustoconical-flared end 42 of the bore 28.
  • the second circumferential bead 56 may also abut a cylindrical portion of the bore 28.
  • the distal end portion 48 of the nipple 46 has a third peripheral bead 58 which abuts the inner peripheral surface of the bore 50 and provides a fluid-tight connection. From the FIGS. 3 and 4 It can also be seen that the diameter of the proximal end portion 44 is smaller than the diameter of the distal end portion 48.
  • connection nipple 46 made of soft elastic thermoplastic or an elastomer can smooth out connection errors of the drive 26 over a long period of time or over a large number of movement cycles. These connection errors are e.g. an axial offset 60 and / or an angular error 62.
  • the axial offset 60 can be up to 1 mm and the angular error 62 up to 0.5 °.
  • Another advantage of the connecting nipple 48 according to the invention is the damping property.
