Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Kraftfahrzeug-Kühlmittelpumpe (Kfz-Kühlmittelpumpe) mit einem Pumpengehäuse, das zumindest ein Strömungsgehäuseteil und ein separat ausgebildetes Motorgehäuseteil aufweist, wobei das Strömungsgehäuseteil einen spiralförmigen Strömungskanal, der einen axialen Einlass und einen tangentialen Auslass aufweist, und ein drehbar gelagertes Fluidförderelement zumindest teilweise umgibt, und das Motorgehäuseteil einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor zum Antreiben des Fluidförderelements zumindest teilweise umgibt, wobei das Pumpengehäuse über eine Befestigungsstruktur an einer Fahrzeugstruktur fixierbar ist.The invention relates to an electric motor vehicle coolant pump (motor vehicle coolant pump) with a pump housing which has at least one flow housing part and a separately designed motor housing part, the flow housing part having a spiral flow channel having an axial inlet and a tangential outlet, and a rotatably mounted fluid delivery element at least partially surrounds, and the motor housing part at least partially surrounds an electric drive motor for driving the fluid delivery element, wherein the pump housing can be fixed to a vehicle structure via a fastening structure.
Derartige elektrische Kfz-Kühlmittelpumpen sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt und dienen überwiegend der Förderung eines Kühlmittels zur Kühlung eines Fahrzeug-Verbrennungsmotors. Aufgrund des üblichen Aufbaus weisen solche Pumpen zumeist mehrere einzelne Gehäuseteile auf, wie beispielsweise das Strömungsgehäuseteil und das Motorgehäuseteil, die zumeist rotatorisch zueinander ausgerichtet sind, über eine Fixiereinrichtung zueinander fixiert sind und im montierten Zustand das gesamte Pumpengehäuse bilden. Die fluidische Anbindung einer solchen Pumpe an einem Fahrzeug erfolgt zumeist über separat ausgebildete Schläuche. Zur mechanischen Fixierung bzw. Befestigung der Kühlmittelpumpe an einer Fahrzeugstruktur, wie beispielsweise an einer Fahrzeugkarosserie oder an einem Motorblock, sind üblicherweise Träger oder Befestigungsstrukturen vorgesehen, die jeweils separat oder einstückig an den einzelnen Gehäuseteilen der Pumpe angeordnet sind.Such electric motor vehicle coolant pumps are well known from the prior art and are mainly used to convey a coolant for cooling a vehicle internal combustion engine. Due to the usual structure, such pumps usually have several individual housing parts, such as the flow housing part and the motor housing part, which are mostly rotationally aligned with one another, are fixed to one another via a fixing device and, when installed, form the entire pump housing. The fluidic connection of such a pump to a vehicle usually takes place via separately designed hoses. For mechanical fixation or fastening of the coolant pump to a vehicle structure, such as a vehicle body or an engine block, supports or fastening structures are usually provided, which are each arranged separately or in one piece on the individual housing parts of the pump.
Zur Minderung von Vibrationen und hierdurch hervorgerufener Geräusche sind an den Befestigungsstrukturen zumeist Dämpfungsmittel vorgesehen.In order to reduce vibrations and the noises caused thereby, damping means are mostly provided on the fastening structures.
Typischerweise müssen solche Kühlmittelpumpen je nach Fahrzeugmodell Individuell ausgelegt sein, insbesondere hinsichtlich der geforderten Pumpenleistung, der vorgegebenen fluidischen Anschlüsse, der Befestigungsstrukturen sowie der Dämpfungsmittel. Mit wachsender Anzahl der vorgegebenen Merkmale erhöht sich jedoch die Komplexität des Abstimmens der Schnittstellen zwischen Pumpe und Fahrzeug, welches insbesondere bei der Herstellung und Montage der Kühlmittelpumpen zu einem erhöhten Aufwand führt.Typically, such coolant pumps have to be designed individually depending on the vehicle model, in particular with regard to the required pump performance, the specified fluidic connections, the fastening structures and the damping means. As the number of specified features increases, however, the complexity of coordinating the interfaces between the pump and the vehicle increases, which in particular leads to increased expenditure in the manufacture and assembly of the coolant pumps.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine elektrische Kfz-Kühlmittelpumpe bereitzustellen, die eine fahrzeugmodellübergreifende Auslegung und eine relativ universelle Befestigungsmöglichkeit an einer Fahrzeugstruktur ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an electric motor vehicle coolant pump which enables a cross-vehicle design and a relatively universal possibility of attachment to a vehicle structure.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch eine elektrische Kfz-Kühlmittelpumpe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung sowie den Figuren aufgeführt.The object is achieved according to the invention by an electric motor vehicle coolant pump with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Befestigungsstruktur pumpenseitig ausschließlich an dem Strömungsgehäuseteil angeordnet. Dadurch können die Schnittstellen zur fluidischen und mechanischen Anbindung der Kühlmittelpumpe an einer Fahrzeugstruktur allein auf das Strömungsgehäuseteil beschränkt werden, so dass die Auslegung der Kühlmittelpumpe vereinfacht werden kann. Insbesondere kann die Auslegung und Spezifizierung der Schnittstellen zwischen Pumpe und Fahrzeug allein auf die Ausgestaltung des Strömungsgehäuseteils beschränkt werden. Dagegen kann das Motorgehäuseteil - je Fahrzeugmodell und den hiermit verbundenen Anforderungen, beispielsweise hinsichtlich einer Modellvariante und/oder Pumpen-Leistung - unterschiedliche Bauformen oder Baugrößen aufweisen und kann vollständig unabhängig von den Schnittstellen und Anbindungsvoraussetzungen der Pumpe an dem Fahrzeug hergestellt werden. Dadurch können die Herstellung und Montage der Kühlmittelpumpe erheblich vereinfacht und in der Folge relativ kostengünstig sein.According to the invention, the fastening structure is arranged on the pump side exclusively on the flow housing part. As a result, the interfaces for the fluidic and mechanical connection of the coolant pump to a vehicle structure can be limited solely to the flow housing part, so that the design of the coolant pump can be simplified. In particular, the design and specification of the interfaces between the pump and the vehicle can be limited solely to the design of the flow housing part. In contrast, the motor housing part - depending on the vehicle model and the associated requirements, for example with regard to a model variant and / or pump capacity - can have different designs or sizes and can be manufactured completely independently of the interfaces and connection requirements of the pump on the vehicle. As a result, the manufacture and assembly of the coolant pump can be considerably simplified and, as a result, be relatively inexpensive.
Die Befestigungsstruktur weist mindestens drei Befestigungspunkte zur punktuellen Befestigung des Pumpengehäuses an der Fahrzeugstruktur auf. Unter einem Befestigungspunkt kann beispielsweise eine Öffnung verstanden werden, durch die zur Befestigung eine Schraube sich erstreckt. Besonders bevorzugt sind genau drei solcher Befestigungspunkte vorgesehen. Dadurch kann eine relativ stabile und sichere Fixierung der Kühlmittelpumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur gewährleistet werden.The fastening structure has at least three fastening points for the selective fastening of the pump housing to the vehicle structure. A fastening point can be understood, for example, as an opening through which a screw extends for fastening. It is particularly preferred that exactly three such fastening points are provided. A relatively stable and secure fixation of the coolant pump on the vehicle structure can thereby be ensured.
Die Befestigungspunkte sind in einer zur Rotationsachse parallelen Ebene angeordnet. Dadurch ist eine gemeinsame Anlageebene geschaffen, mit der die Befestigungsstruktur in relativ einfacher Weise an einer Anlagefläche der Fahrzeugstruktur anliegen und fixiert sein kann.The attachment points are arranged in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation. This creates a common contact plane with which the fastening structure can rest against a contact surface of the vehicle structure and be fixed in a relatively simple manner.
Grundsätzlich kann die Befestigungsstruktur ein separates Bauteil sein, wie beispielsweise eine Schelle oder ein Tragarm, wobei die Befestigungsstruktur individuell an die Form des Strömungsgehäuseteils angepasst sein kann. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Befestigungsstruktur mit dem Strömungsgehäuseteil einstückig ausgebildet. Dadurch kann die Anzahl der Bauteile verringert werden und die Kühlmittelpumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur in relativ einfacher Weise festgelegt werden.In principle, the fastening structure can be a separate component, such as a clamp or a support arm, for example, it being possible for the fastening structure to be individually adapted to the shape of the flow housing part. The fastening structure is advantageously designed in one piece with the flow housing part. As a result, the number of components can be reduced and the coolant pump can be fixed to the vehicle structure in a relatively simple manner.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Befestigungsstruktur in Längserstreckung parallel zur Rotationsachse angeordnet. Dadurch kann eine besonders stabile und relativ sichere Fixierung der Kühlmittelpumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur ermöglicht werden. Zudem ist die Pumpe dadurch relativ platzsparend aufgebaut.The fastening structure is advantageously arranged in the longitudinal direction parallel to the axis of rotation. This enables a particularly stable and relatively secure fixing of the coolant pump to the vehicle structure. In addition, the pump is designed to be relatively space-saving.
Vorzugsweise weist die Befestigungsstruktur einen von dem Strömungsgehäuseteil nach außen hervorstehenden Tragarm auf. Dadurch kann die Anzahl der Bauteile verringert werden und die Kühlmittelpumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur in relativ einfacher Weise festgelegt werden. Der Tragarm weist - insbesondere an einem distalen Ende - vorteilhafterweise eine Öffnung bzw. Bohrung auf, durch die zur Befestigung des Tragarms an der Fahrzeugstruktur eine Schraube, ein Niet, ein Bolzen oder ein anderes Befestigungselement sich erstrecken kann. Ferner kann der Tragarm einen nach außen hervorstehenden Zentrierstift zur Ausrichtung der Tragarm gegenüber der Fahrzeugstruktur aufweisen.The fastening structure preferably has a support arm protruding outward from the flow housing part. As a result, the number of components can be reduced and the coolant pump can be fixed to the vehicle structure in a relatively simple manner. The support arm advantageously has - in particular at a distal end - an opening or bore through which a screw, rivet, bolt or other fastening element can extend to fasten the support arm to the vehicle structure. Furthermore, the support arm can have an outwardly protruding centering pin for aligning the support arm with respect to the vehicle structure.
Der Tragarm kann als Flansch ausgebildet sein und zumindest eine Versteifungsrippe aufweisen. Insbesondere kann die Versteifungsrippe in Längserstreckung des Flansches an diesem ausgebildet sein. Dadurch weist der Tragarm eine besonders hohe Stabilität auf.The support arm can be designed as a flange and have at least one stiffening rib. In particular, the stiffening rib can be formed on the flange along its length. As a result, the support arm has a particularly high level of stability.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die Befestigungspunkte in der Ebene in einem rechtwinkligen Dreieck zueinander angeordnet sind. Dadurch ist eine besonders stabile Fixierung der Pumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur ermöglicht, insbesondere ist die Pumpe gegen ein Kippen und/oder Verdrehen fixiert.The fastening points are particularly preferably arranged in the plane in a right-angled triangle to one another. This is a enables particularly stable fixation of the pump on the vehicle structure, in particular the pump is fixed against tilting and / or twisting.
Vorzugsweise ist die Befestigungsstruktur über eine kraftschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung an der Fahrzeugstruktur fixiert. Dadurch kann die Befestigungsstruktur an der Fahrzeugstruktur insbesondere lösbar festgelegt sein, besonders bevorzugt mittels einer Schraube. Dies ist insbesondere bei einer Reparatur oder einem Austausch der Pumpe vorteilhaft.The fastening structure is preferably fixed to the vehicle structure via a force-fit and / or form-fit connection. As a result, the fastening structure can in particular be fixed releasably on the vehicle structure, particularly preferably by means of a screw. This is particularly advantageous when repairing or replacing the pump.
Vorteilhafterweise weist die Befestigungsstruktur mindestens einen Schwingungsdämpfer auf, vorzugsweise an einem Befestigungspunkt. Der Schwingungsdämpfer kann insbesondere geeignet sein, unerwünschte Vibrationen der Kühlmittelpumpe zu dämpfen und somit ein Lösen der Befestigung der Pumpe an der Fahrzeugstruktur sowie eine Geräuschentwicklung zu verhindern.The fastening structure advantageously has at least one vibration damper, preferably at a fastening point. The vibration damper can in particular be suitable for dampening undesired vibrations of the coolant pump and thus preventing the pump from being loosened on the vehicle structure and preventing the development of noise.
Der Schwingungsdämpfer ist bevorzugt als ein Elastomer-Ring ausgebildet, der in einer Öffnung, wie einem Befestigungspunkt, an der Befestigungsstruktur anliegt. Der Elastomer-Ring, beispielsweise ein Gummiring, kann in eine hierfür vorgesehene Öffnung oder Aussparung in der Befestigungsstruktur eingelegt oder eingesetzt sein. Dadurch ist eine relativ sichere Dämpfung der Kühlmittelpumpe ermöglicht und die Montage der Kühlmittelpumpe vereinfacht.The vibration damper is preferably designed as an elastomer ring which rests on the fastening structure in an opening, such as a fastening point. The elastomer ring, for example a rubber ring, can be inserted or inserted into an opening or recess provided for this purpose in the fastening structure. This enables relatively reliable damping of the coolant pump and simplifies the installation of the coolant pump.
Vorzugsweise weist das Strömungsgehäuseteil eine Zentrierstruktur zur Ausrichtung des Motorgehäuseteils gegenüber dem Strömungsgehäuseteil auf. Die Zentrierstruktur kann ein Absatz oder eine Ausnehmung sein, in die beispielsweise ein Stift einsetzbar ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist an dem Strömungsgehäuseteil ein Absatz ausgebildet, an dem das Motorgehäuseteil in ausschließlich einer bestimmten rotatorischen Ausrichtung einsetzbar ist. Ferner kann ein das Fluidförderelement tragender Pumpenrotor zur Lagerung in einen Absatz des Strömungsgehäuseteils eingesetzt und hieran drehbar gelagert sein. Die Kühlmittelpumpe kann dadurch relativ kompakt aufgebaut sein.The flow housing part preferably has a centering structure for aligning the motor housing part with respect to the flow housing part. The centering structure can be a shoulder or a recess into which, for example, a pin can be inserted. Advantageously, a shoulder is formed on the flow housing part, on which the motor housing part is exclusively rotatory Alignment can be used. Furthermore, a pump rotor carrying the fluid conveying element can be inserted into a shoulder of the flow housing part for storage and can be rotatably supported on it. The coolant pump can thus be of relatively compact design.
Das Strömungsgehäuseteil weist bevorzugt eine axiale und/oder radiale Spalt-Dichtfläche zu dem Fluidförderelement auf. Dadurch kann eine relativ verlustfreie Fluidförderung stattfinden, so dass der Wirkungsgrad der Kühlmittelpumpe gesteigert werden kann.The flow housing part preferably has an axial and / or radial gap sealing surface to the fluid delivery element. As a result, a relatively loss-free fluid delivery can take place, so that the efficiency of the coolant pump can be increased.
