Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal pump for conveying liquids in a motor vehicle with a housing, with an intake duct and an outlet duct in the housing, with a driven impeller which can be rotated in the housing, with rotor blades protruding from a supporting disk of the impeller and with a free ends of Cover disk connecting blades and with a gap seal between the cover disk and a housing part of the housing opposite the cover disk.
  • Centrifugal pumps of this type are frequently used in today's motor vehicles to convey water and are known from practice.
  • the suction channel of the known centrifugal pump is guided to the center of the impeller.
  • the outlet duct connects to the radially outer circumference of the impeller. Liquid located in the center of the impeller reaches the rotor blades and is conveyed radially outwards to the outlet channel when the impeller rotates.
  • a gap is thus created which leads from the outlet channel to the intake channel and is sealed by a gap seal.
  • the gap seal is a particularly narrow gap, which throttles the flow from the radially outer side, which has a high pressure, to the radially inner side, which has a low pressure, of the impeller.
  • the throttling has a decisive influence on the efficiency of the centrifugal pump.
  • the gap cannot be reduced arbitrarily, because it must be prevented that tolerances of the components can lead to grinding of the cover plate on the housing part.
  • a pump is known in which webs and depressions are formed between a pump impeller and a housing section, which act in the sense of a gap seal.
  • the invention is based on the problem of developing a centrifugal pump of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it has a particularly high degree of efficiency and can be produced particularly cost-effectively.
  • the centrifugal pump according to the invention has a particularly high efficiency.
  • the webs are particularly easy to manufacture, so that the centrifugal pump according to the invention also has particularly low manufacturing costs.
  • the gap seal has a particularly high throttling effect, if several chambers delimited by the webs have different cross sections in the gap seal.
  • the different cross sections of the chambers in the gap seal lead to several changes in the velocity of the flow, which leads to their throttling.
  • a particularly high throttling effect of the gap seal with a particularly simple manufacture can be achieved according to the invention if the gap seal near the intake duct and near the outlet duct has an annular duct arranged perpendicular to the plane of the supporting disk of the impeller if the annular ducts are connected to one another via a transverse duct and if the webs protrude into the transverse channel.
  • This design allows the components that delimit the gap seal to be simply axially joined and inexpensively manufactured, for example in the injection molding process.
  • the gap seal is designed in a stepped manner, which contributes to a particularly high throttling effect.
  • the webs oppose the flow in the gap seal if the transverse channel connecting the annular channels to one another is inclined to the plane of the supporting disk of the impeller and if the webs projecting into the transverse channel are arranged perpendicular to the plane of the supporting disk of the impeller.
  • the orientation of the webs to the transverse channel creates high turbulence in the flow, so that the gap seal has a particularly high throttling effect. Since the height of the blades for radially outer limitation of the impeller is reduced anyway, this design also leads to a particularly low use of materials and thus to particularly low manufacturing costs.
  • the invention contributes to a further increase in the number of deflections of the flow and thus the throttling action in the gap seal if at least one of the ring channels is connected to the intake channel or the outlet channel via a transverse channel.
  • the webs can be produced particularly easily when the components are manufactured using the injection molding process if the webs taper towards their free end.
  • This design means that the cover plate and housing can be easily manufactured using the injection molding process. This leads to very low manufacturing costs, in particular when the components are mass-produced, as is customary in motor vehicles. The manufacture of the webs and thus the production of the gap seal is therefore cost-neutral.
  • FIG. 1 shows a centrifugal pump 1 with a pump stage 3 driven by an electric motor 2.
  • the centrifugal pump 1 draws liquid through a suction line 4 from a storage container 5 and conveys it via a delivery line 6 to a consumer 7.
  • FIG 2 shows a sectional view through the pump stage 3 of the centrifugal pump 1 Figure 1 .
  • the pump stage 3 has a housing 8 with a rotatably arranged therein from the electric motor 2 Figure 1 driven impeller 9.
  • the housing 8 has an intake duct 10 connected to the intake duct 4 and an outlet duct 11 connected to the feed duct 6.
  • the impeller 9 has one on a shaft 12 of the electric motor 2 rotatably arranged support disk 13 with blades 14 projecting therefrom. Free ends of radially outer blades 14 are connected to a cover disk 15.
  • a gap seal 17 is arranged between the cover plate 15 and a housing part 16 of the housing opposite the cover plate 15.
  • the gap seal 17 has two ring channels 18, 19 arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the impeller 9 and perpendicular to the support disk 13.
  • a first transverse channel 20 is arranged between the ring channels 18, 19.
  • the gap seal 17 has a second transverse duct 21 arranged on the intake duct 10.
  • the first transverse duct 20 is arranged inclined to the plane of the support disk 13.
  • the cover plate 15 and the housing part 16 opposite the cover plate 15 each have webs 22-24 which protrude into the gap seal 17 and are offset from one another.
  • the webs 22-24 each protrude half the height of the gap seal 17 and delimit chambers 25, 26 with different cross sections.
  • On the second transverse channel 21, a further chamber 27 is delimited by webs 28, 29 of the cover plate 15 and a flat wall of the housing part 16.
