- the bearing diameter (of the smaller radial bearing) is determined by the dimensions of the arranged on the shaft inner rotor. It is due to the assembly larger than the inner diameter or the inner dimension of the arranged on the shaft inner rotor. In order to allow a conditioning and sealing of the inner rotor on the bearing element, it must be smaller than the root diameter of the inner rotor. Because of the micropumps small dimensions of the inner rotor is the

- the inner surface 3 facing the end face 9 of the bearing element 6 is designed as a thrust bearing for the inner rotor 3 and the outer rotor 10.
- the end face 9 has for this purpose a low surface roughness, for example in a range of Ra 0.1 and a closely toleranced flatness.
- a pin 36 is received in a PTFE sleeve 37 in a containment shell 15 as a housing cover. Pin 36 and PTFE sleeve 37 form a Axialloslager for the shaft 2 and serve as spacers for an inner magnet 32 described below.
- the height of the sleeve 12 in the axial direction of the shaft 2 is tuned to the thicknesses of kidney plate 11, rotor receiving plate 10 and flared portion 7 and is slightly smaller than the sum of the thicknesses of these components, so that these centered on the sleeve 12 and a lower housing part 14th and a split pot 15 can be clamped defined as a housing cover in the axial direction.
- the thickness of the inner and outer rotor in the axial direction of the shaft 2 is matched to the thickness of RotorabilityplattelO, so that inner and outer rotor in this and between the end face 9 of the bearing element 6 and the kidney plate 11 as thrust bearing with the required smoothness with simultaneous tightness can rotate.
- the housing lower part 14 has an inlet passage 16 (low pressure port) and an outlet passage 17 (high pressure outlet).
- the split pot 15 is formed in the high-pressure variant of the pump shown in FIG. 2 is relatively solid and is about a
- the containment shell 15 is less solid and not directly, but arranged on a downholder 38 on the lower housing part 14 and braced against the sleeve 12.
- the hold-down 38 is not in fluid contact and can thus consist of a less high-quality material.
- the lower housing part 14 has a recess in which the sleeve 12 and the kidney plate 11 and the rotor retainer plate 10 received therein are accommodated.
- Housing base 14 is centered on this recess through the sleeve 12. It is the
- kidney plate 11 Furthermore, via a pin, not shown in the figures, to the kidney plate 11
- the kidney plate 11 is made of ceramic and has a low-pressure side inlet kidney 19 and a high-pressure side outlet opening 20. Due to the radial alignment of
- the inlet kidney 19 is further formed so as to be formed with the central recess of the rotor-receiving plate, and more specifically, the inner rotor 3 and the outer rotor 13 formed therein
- Conveying chamber overlapped and fluidically connected.
- External rotor 13 formed delivery chamber and is fluidically connected thereto.
- External rotor 13 formed delivery chamber and is fluidically connected thereto.
- the inlet passage 16 and the inlet kidney 19 is a first low-pressure side supply line to the delivery chamber and via the inlet passage 16, the inlet kidney 19, the
- a high pressure side fluid passage is formed in the bearing element 6. This consists essentially of a Auslassniere 24, introduced in the radial direction
- Bag lowering 25 a first edge recess 26 and a second edge recess 27 with subsequent high pressure outlet 28.
- the high pressure outlet 28 overlaps with the
- Outlet opening 22 of the rotor receiving plate 10 and is connected via this and the outlet opening 20 fluidly connected to the high pressure side outlet passage 17.
- the first and the second edge recess 26, 27 are introduced into the bearing element 6 on the edge side and open in the axial direction (in the figures upward) and in the radial direction to the outside of the bearing element 6.
- a compensating kidney 39 is formed in the kidney plate 11. This generates high-pressure hydraulic equilibrium or hydraulic compensation on the rotor set.
- the split pot 15 is, as already explained, via the screw 18 with the
- the containment shell 15 has a central recess 31, in which the bearing element together with the shaft 2 mounted therein is received with an inner magnet 32 described in more detail below. Between the radial outer surface 33 of the bearing element 6 and the inner wall of the recess 31 facing the bearing element 6 there is a gap 34, which forms part of the high-pressure-side fluid passage. Compressed fluid flows out of the delivery chamber via the outlet kidney 24 and the bag sump 25 into the first peripheral recess 26. From there, the fluid is distributed via the gap 34 around the entire head region of the bearing element 6 into the intermediate space
- Rotor receiving plate 10 and is the outlet opening 20 to the high pressure side
- Outlet passage 17 By in the gap surrounded by the gap 15 cavity, in particular in the space between the bearing element 6 and gap pot 15, flowing fluid both the bearing element 6 with all functional units contained therein (eg rotorfernes radial bearing 5) and the inner magnet 32 and the Slit pot tempered, in particular cooled.
- the radial bearings 4, 5 are lubricated and / or rinsed.
- This cooling is particularly in view of the drive of the pump over the
- the inner magnet 32 is rotatably mounted on the rotor remote end of the shaft 2. It cooperates with an external magnet system, not shown in the figures, which is arranged outside the hermetic housing of the pump formed by housing bottom part 14 and containment shell 15.
- the outer magnet system generates a rotating magnetic field which sets the inner magnet 32 designed as a permanent magnet in rotation about the axis of rotation of the shaft 2. This rotates together with the inner rotor 3 arranged thereon, which meshes with the outer rotor 13 and sets it in rotation in the recess receiving it in the rotor receiving plate 10. Due to the rotating magnetic field of the magnets, depending on the nature of the gap pot 15 and the
- Bearing element 6 used material for inductive heating, wherein the resulting heat can be removed via the fluid flowing through the gap pot.
- Another advantage of the promotion of the medium through the cavity surrounded by the gap pot 15 is that a failure of the pump can be excluded by accumulated gas bubbles. Dead space is minimized by the active flow through the entire pump, including the containment shell.
