Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pump for conveying a gas, which is also referred to below as a gas pump.
  • the gas pump is designed as a vacuum pump.
  • the invention aims at a reduction of forces or torques acting on the conveyor on startup of the pump.
  • Vacuum pumps 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 of the engine, as was customary for a long time. Due to space restrictions and also to reduce the specific size, also in terms of pedestrian protection and costs, the vacuum pump is recently arranged in tandem with a lubricating oil pump, which supplies the vehicle engine with lubricating oil in the oil sump of the lubricating oil system.
  • the lubricating oil pump and the vacuum pump are usually combined in a common housing, and the two pumps have a common shaft in most applications.

  • the cylinder and the delivery rotor are arranged in a housing of the pump.
  • an end plate is further arranged, which is pressed by springs against an end face of the cylinder to complete the delivery chamber on the front side.
  • the end plate is axially and tiltably movable in the pump housing, so that at the relevant end face between the cylinder and the end plate can form a relief gap for pressure relief of the delivery chamber. Due to the relief gap, lubricating oil contained in the coolant can escape from the delivery chamber.
  • the lubricating oil is collected in the pump housing and returned to the lubrication points of the coolant pump within the pump housing.
  • the GB 2 092 673 A discloses a coolant pump having a pump housing, a delivery chamber formed in the pump housing, and a delivery rotor rotatably disposed about a rotation axis in the delivery chamber.

Pompe à gaz selon la revendication précédente, caractérisée en ce que le dispositif de pression comprend un élément à ressort supplémentaire (51 ; 61 ; 71) pour générer une force élastique supplémentaire, dans laquelle la somme des forces élastiques générées par les éléments à ressort (51 ; 61 ; 71) forme au moins une partie de la force de pression, et les éléments à ressort (51 ; 61 ; 71) sont supportés à des emplacements de préférence de la première structure de boîtier (1) espacés les uns des autres, ou sont couplés à la seconde structure de boîtier à des emplacements de la seconde structure de boîtier (2) espacés les uns des autres, dans laquelle l'élément à ressort supplémentaire (61) fait saillie à partir de la structure de base de partie de boîtier (2c) dans le cas de la pompe à gaz selon la revendication 8 et est fixement relié à celle-ci, et forme de préférence un seul bloc conjointement avec la structure de base de partie de boîtier (2c).
  10. Pompe à gaz selon l'une des deux revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce que la seconde partie de boîtier (2) est fixée à la première partie de boîtier (1) au moyen de l'élément à ressort (61) ou de l'élément à ressort supplémentaire (61) de la revendication 9.
  11. Pompe à gaz selon l'une des revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce qu'est prévu un guide (32 ; 45 ; 55 ; 75) s'étendant dans la direction où la seconde partie de boîtier (2) peut se déplacer, et la seconde partie de boîtier (2) est guidée lors du déplacement le long du guide (32 ; 45 ; 55 ; 75), dans laquelle l'élément à ressort (31) forme, de manière plus préférée, le guide (32), de préférence avec la zone de support de ressort (32).
  12. Pompe à gaz selon l'une des revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce que dans au moins une des surfaces d'étanchéité (6, 7) formant le joint d'étanchéité (8) autour de la chambre de refoulement (3) s'étend une cavité d'étanchéité (9) qui est remplie au moins pendant le fonctionnement de la pompe à gaz avec un liquide d'étanchéité, de préférence un lubrifiant pour la pompe à gaz, afin d'étanchéifier extérieurement la chambre de refoulement (3), de sorte qu'une étanchéification au moyen d'une bague d'étanchéité supplémentaire peut être évitée.
  13. Pompe à gaz selon au moins la revendication 4 et de préférence selon l'une des revendications 5 à 12 précédentes, caractérisée en ce qu'un déplacement de la seconde partie de boîtier (2) dans une direction élargissant le joint d'étanchéité (8) est limité par une force élastique augmentant avec l'élargissement et contrecarrant l'élargissement, ou par une butée fixe (32, 33), dans laquelle l'élément à ressort de la revendication 4 peut former la butée fixe.
  14. Pompe à gaz selon au moins une des revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce que le dispositif de pression (30 ; 40 ; 50 ; 60 ; 70) est supporté par la première partie de boîtier (1) ou par une partie de boîtier supplémentaire facultative de la pompe à gaz (10) ou par une unité de montage (10, 20) comprenant la pompe à gaz, et agit sur la seconde partie de boîtier (2), de sorte que la force de pression, qui comprend de préférence une force élastique, est totalement absorbée par les parties de boîtier (1, 2) ou l'unité de montage (10, 20) .
