Definitions

  • the invention relates to the sealing of a gas pump, in particular a vacuum pump.
  • Vacuum pumps as the invention relates in particular, are used in vehicles, for example, to provide negative pressure for a brake booster.
  • the pump can be arranged laterally on the cylinder head of a vehicle engine and driven by a camshaft, as was customary for a long time. Due to space restrictions and also to reduce the specific size of the vacuum pump is recently arranged in tandem with a lubricating oil pump in the oil sump. Because of relatively high demands on the tightness, it has been customary to seal by means of O-ring or profile seal. The seal should prevent air from being sucked in from the environment. In addition, when mounted on the outside of the engine pumps, oil leakage should be prevented. When installed in the oil sump, an absolute oil-tightness of the system to the outside is no longer absolutely necessary. The seal is used practically only to avoid the Heilsaugens.
  • the sealing elements such as O-ring and profile form seals, are manufactured separately and placed in a surrounding the delivery chamber sealing groove of a housing part of the gas pump or placed on an end face of the housing part. For assembly and assembly, they are secured to the housing part.
  • the sealing elements cause costs that can no longer be neglected, especially in mass production, as is customary in vehicle production. Seen over the life of the pump also suffers the tightness due to material degradation of the sealing elements.
  • Gas pumps which are preferably designed as vane pumps as disclosed by the invention, disclose, for example, the US 2012/0060683 A , the US 3,326,456 A and the WO 2007/003215 A1 ,

  • One of the two housing parts, for example the second housing part may in particular be a housing cover which closes off the delivery chamber at one end face.
  • the housing parts are joined together, so that they at least partially, preferably completely enclose the delivery chamber over a chamber circumference and with the said sealing surfaces to form a sealing joint to each other to seal the delivery chamber.
  • the sealing surfaces are preferably pressed against each other, for example by the housing parts are joined together by means of screw.

In modifications, it may be locally interrupted at one or more locations over its circumference. In principle, it may also extend over only a part of the circumference, but in such embodiments preferably over the greater part of the circumference. It should also not be ruled out that the housing part, in which the sealing recess is provided, extends only over part of the circumference of the delivery chamber.
  • a sealing recess is formed, preferably in such a way that the in the plurality of housing parts provided sealing recesses together the delivery chamber over its entire circumference continuously surrounded, so merge into one another or connect to each other without interruption. Modifications in the above sense, however, are possible in such embodiments.
  • the sealing recess is delimited both along an inner edge facing the delivery chamber and along an outer edge facing away from the delivery chamber from the sealing surface in which the sealing depression is formed.
  • the sealing recess is formed in other words in an end view of the sealing surface seen within the sealing surface, but this does not preclude that this sealing recess is in places with an inner or an outer edge of the sealing surface in connection, for example via one or more of the sealing recess inwards or outside branching, groove-shaped channel or channels.
  • Such a channel can for example serve to supply the sealing liquid into the sealing recess.
  • the previously separately manufactured sealing ring can be saved, the assembly of the gas pump can be simplified and consequently costs can be reduced.
  • the sealing groove is usually machined.
  • a machining can in accordance with the invention Sealing recess eliminated.

  • a liquid lubricant forms the sealing liquid.
  • This may be the same lubricant that also serves to lubricate the conveyor and / or seal conveyor cells formed in the delivery chamber. If the gas pump is assigned to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, aircraft or watercraft, in particular a lubricant serving for lubricating the internal combustion engine can also form the sealing fluid in a further function.
