Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor vehicle vacuum pump with a pump chamber in which a pump rotor rotates in a compressing manner, and an outlet chamber into which the compressed gas exits from the pump chamber.
- the vacuum pump has a partition wall which separates the pump chamber from the outlet chamber, and at least one outlet valve in the partition wall, designed as a check valve, through which the compressed gas exits from the pump chamber into the outlet chamber.
- a motor vehicle vacuum pump generates a vacuum of 100 millibars, for example, in a motor vehicle (motor vehicle) regardless of the operating state of an internal combustion engine, which is required, for example, to operate a pneumatic brake booster and / or other pneumatically operated auxiliary units.
- a leaf spring is often used as the valve body for the outlet valve, which, in a closed position, rests against a valve seat formed around the outlet opening.
- the outlet valve is operated hydraulically and pneumatically.
- the problem with such processes is the resulting noise emission, which is mainly caused by the expansion of the oil / air mixture. Further noise emissions are caused by the unrestrained impact of the valve body on the valve seat when closing at high accelerations.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to create a quiet motor vehicle vacuum pump with good efficiency.
- valve seat which is provided around the valve opening, is raised.
- the valve seat is the part of the housing which forms a support surface for the leaf spring that forms the valve body.
- the leaf spring In the closed state, the leaf spring is in a pretensioned state in a sealing manner against the valve seat, so that the pump is not ventilated. This improves the efficiency of the pump.
- "Raised” in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as an embodiment in which the area of the housing that forms the valve seat is structurally lifted from a directly adjoining area by at least 0.2 mm.
- a raised valve seat has the advantage that the valve seat is clearly delimited from the housing adjoining it.
- a radial overlap of the valve seat and the leaf spring according to the present invention is less than 1.5 mm, preferably 1.0 mm and particularly preferably less than 0.7 mm.
- the overlap is present in a predominant area, ie more than 50% of the circumference of the valve seat.
- the leaf spring can have a greater overlap.
- the area of the valve seat which comes into contact with the closed leaf spring is understood as an overlap in the context of the invention. In this contact area, the leaf spring overlaps the valve seat.
- a radial direction in the context of the present invention is a direction which runs in the plane of the valve seat, perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the valve seat.
- a radial overhang of the leaf spring is greater than 1.0 mm.
- the value of the radial overhang is not the same at every point and can also be less than 1.0 mm locally.
- the value for the radial overhang of 1.0 mm is to be understood as meaning that a mean value for the radial overhang is greater than 1.0 mm.
- the radial overhang according to the present invention is understood to be the area of the leaf spring which protrudes outwardly beyond the valve seat in the radial direction.
- an air cushion can also be formed between the leaf spring and the housing. This air cushion additionally brakes the leaf spring during the closing movement, so that the noise emission can be further reduced.
- the protrusion of the valve seat is at least 0.5 mm, preferably at least 1.0 mm and particularly preferably at least 1.5. Elevation in the sense of the invention is understood to mean the distance between the valve seat and a housing surface from which the valve seat stands out structurally. This makes it possible to provide a sufficient chamfer on the circumference of the valve seat.
- the leaf spring used in the vacuum pump is preferably 0.15-0.2 mm thick.
- Uddeholm UHB Stainless 716 steel is preferably used as the material for the leaf spring.
- valve seat is surrounded by at least one adjacent bevel.
- a chamfer in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a radius, broken edge or a beveled surface which is formed on a workpiece edge.
- the bevel connects two different sides of a workpiece.
- the bevel has the effect that when the leaf spring closes, a circular air cushion with higher pressure forms between the bevel and the leaf spring, which brakes the leaf spring and minimizes the development of noise between the valve seat and the leaf spring.
- the noise that occurs when the leaf spring hits the valve seat is significantly reduced.
- the chamfer is preferably formed on the inner circumference of the raised valve seat.
- the bevel borders on the inside, i.e. proximally, to the Valve seat on.
- Such a bevel has the advantage that no design changes have to be made for this.
- the bevel can thus also be formed subsequently on the raised valve seat.
- a bevel can be formed on the outer circumference of the raised valve seat.
- valve opening and the leaf spring are kidney-shaped and the leaf spring is fixed at one longitudinal end. This has the advantage that the outlet valve can be accommodated in a housing to save space.
- two outlet valves are preferably formed in the partition.
- the first outlet valve forms a fluid outlet during forward travel and the second outlet valve forms a fluid outlet during reverse travel of the rotor.
- the two leaf springs of the outlet valves are formed by a single common spring body. This reduces the number of parts of the vacuum pump, so that assembly is facilitated and confusion between the leaf springs is excluded.
- FIG. 10 shows an automotive vacuum pump 10 according to the present invention.
- the vacuum pump 10 forms a pump chamber 12 in which a gas is compressed by a rotating pump rotor 11.
- a partition 22 separates the pump chamber 12 from an outlet chamber 14.
- a kidney-shaped valve opening forward run 24 1 and a kidney-shaped valve opening reverse run 24 2 are formed in the partition wall 22.
- the vacuum pump 10 has an outlet valve, forward run 20 1, designed as a check valve, and an outlet valve, reverse run 20 2, designed as a check valve.
- the outlet valves 20 1 , 20 2 have kidney-shaped leaf springs 40 1 , 40 2 as valve bodies which, in a closed state, close the valve openings 24 1 , 24 2.
- FIG. 2 a sectional view through the outlet valve forward run 20 1 is shown.
- the forward outlet valve 20 1 is formed from the kidney-shaped leaf spring 40 1 , a valve seat 30 raised by the pump housing and the kidney-shaped valve opening 24 1 connecting the pump chamber 12 and the outlet chamber 14.
- the raised valve seat 30 formed with the elevation E projects beyond a region of the pump housing that is directly adjacent to the valve seat 30.
- the valve opening 24 1 is opened by the leaf spring 40 1 , as in FIG Figure 2 shown, locked.
- the leaf spring 40 1 lies against the valve seat 30 in a sealing manner with an overlap U.
- the leaf spring 40 1 In an open position, the leaf spring 40 1 is bent in such a way that it is spaced apart from the valve seat 30.
- the movement of the leaf spring 40 1 is limited by a valve limiter 45 provided at a distance from the valve seat 30 in the direction of movement of the leaf spring 40 1.
- a valve limiter 45 provided at a distance from the valve seat 30 in the direction of movement of the leaf spring 40 1.
- 51 is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the valve opening 24 1.
- the raised valve seat 30 is thus surrounded by two chamfers 50, 51.
- the leaf spring 40 1 is designed in such a way that it protrudes laterally beyond the valve seat 30.
- the leaf spring thus has a radial overhang UH.
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which two outlet valves 20 1 , 20 2 are provided.
- One outlet valve 20 1 forms a fluid outlet during a forward run and the other outlet valve 20 2 forms a fluid outlet during a reverse run of the rotor 11.
- the valve openings 24 1 , 24 2 of the outlet valves 20 1 , 20 2 are, in the outflow direction of the fluid, provided to the right and left of a fastening means 70.
- This fastening means 70 fixes a spring body 72, which forms the kidney-shaped leaf springs 40 1 , 40 2 and the one -piece valve limiter 45, which is arranged above the leaf springs 40 1, 40 2 in the outflow direction of the fluid, between the two kidney-shaped valve openings 24 1 , 24 2 on the Partition 22.
- the valve limiter 45 In the outflow direction of the fluid, the valve limiter 45 has kidney-shaped valve limiter openings 74 to the right and left of the fastening means 70, which are provided above the leaf springs 40 1 , 40 2 in the outflow direction of the fluid and which protrude laterally through the leaf springs 40 1 , 40 2 become.
- These valve limiter openings 74 enable the leaf springs 40 1 , 40 2 to be more easily released from the valve limiter 45 during a closing process.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kfz-Vakuumpumpe mit einem Pumpraum, in dem ein Pumpenrotor verdichtend rotiert, und einem Auslassraum, in den das verdichtete Gas aus dem Pumpraum austritt. Die Vakuumpumpe weist eine Trennwand, welche den Pumpraum von dem Auslassraum abtrennt, und wenigstens ein als Rückschlagventil ausgebildetes Auslassventil in der Trennwand auf, durch das das komprimierte Gas aus dem Pumpraum in den Auslassraum austritt.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle vacuum pump with a pump chamber in which a pump rotor rotates in a compressing manner, and an outlet chamber into which the compressed gas exits from the pump chamber. The vacuum pump has a partition wall which separates the pump chamber from the outlet chamber, and at least one outlet valve in the partition wall, designed as a check valve, through which the compressed gas exits from the pump chamber into the outlet chamber.
Eine Kfz-Vakuumpumpe generiert in einem Kraftfahrzeug (Kfz) unabhängig von dem Betriebszustand eines Verbrennungsmotors einen Unterdruck von beispielsweise absolut 100 Millibar, der beispielsweise zum Betrieb eines pneumatischen Bremskraftverstärkers und/oder anderer pneumatisch betriebener Nebenaggregate benötigt wird.A motor vehicle vacuum pump generates a vacuum of 100 millibars, for example, in a motor vehicle (motor vehicle) regardless of the operating state of an internal combustion engine, which is required, for example, to operate a pneumatic brake booster and / or other pneumatically operated auxiliary units.
Als Ventilkörper für das Auslassventil wird bei einer solchen Vakuumpumpe aufgrund der einfachen Konstruktion und der hohen Zuverlässigkeit häufig eine Blattfeder verwendet, welche in einer Schließstellung an einem um die Auslassöffnung ausgebildeten Ventilsitz anliegt. Die Betätigung des Auslassventils erfolgt hydraulisch und pneumatisch. Problematisch bei solchen Vorgängen ist die dadurch entstehende Geräuschemission, welche hauptsächlich durch die Expansion des Öi/Luftgemisch verursacht wird. Weitere Geräuschemissionen entstehen durch den beim Schließen mit hohen Beschleunigungen ungebremsten Aufschlag des Ventilkörpers auf dem Ventilsitz.In such a vacuum pump, due to its simple construction and high reliability, a leaf spring is often used as the valve body for the outlet valve, which, in a closed position, rests against a valve seat formed around the outlet opening. The outlet valve is operated hydraulically and pneumatically. The problem with such processes is the resulting noise emission, which is mainly caused by the expansion of the oil / air mixture. Further noise emissions are caused by the unrestrained impact of the valve body on the valve seat when closing at high accelerations.

Bei diesen Vakuumpumpen aus dem Stand der Technik besteht eine dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen dem Pumpraum und dem Auslassraum. Somit ist eine Dichtigkeit der Vakuumpumpe bei geschlossenem Auslassventil nicht gegeben. Daraus ergibt sich das Problem, dass durch diese Maßnahmen der Pumpraum belüftet wird, wodurch die Leistungsaufnahme der Pumpe signifikant verschlechtert wird.In these vacuum pumps from the prior art, there is a permanent connection between the pump chamber and the outlet chamber. The vacuum pump is therefore not sealed when the outlet valve is closed. This results in the problem that these measures ventilate the pump chamber, which significantly worsens the power consumption of the pump.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit darin, eine leise Kfz-Vakuumpumpe mit gutem Wirkungsgrad zu schaffen.The object of the present invention is therefore to create a quiet motor vehicle vacuum pump with good efficiency.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Kfz-Vakuumpumpe nach dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a motor vehicle vacuum pump according to independent claim 1.
Bei dieser Kfz-Vakuumpumpe ist der Ventilsitz, welcher um die Ventilöffnung herum vorgesehen ist, erhaben ausgebildet. Der Ventilsitz ist dabei der Teil des Gehäuses, welcher eine Auflagefläche für die Blattfeder die den Ventilkörper bildet, bildet. In geschlossenem Zustand liegt die Blattfeder dabei in einem vorgespannten Zustand dichtend an dem Ventilsitz an, so dass die Pumpe nicht belüftet wird. Dadurch wird der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe verbessert. Als "erhaben" im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Ausgestaltung zu verstehen, bei welcher der Bereich des Gehäuses, der den Ventilsitz ausbildet, sich von einem direkt daran angrenzenden Bereich um wenigstens 0,2 mm konstruktiv abhebt. Ein erhabener Ventilsitz hat den Vorteil, dass damit der Ventilsitz klar definiert von dem daran angrenzenden Gehäuse abgegrenzt ist. Bei einer ölgeschmierten Vakuumpumpe wird im Betrieb, zusammen mit dem Gas, Öl aus der Ventilöffnung ausgestoßen, das sich auch auf dem Ventilsitz und der Blattfeder absetzt. Dieses Öl generiert beim Öffnen eine erhebliche Adhäsionskraft zwischen dem Ventilsitz und der Blattfeder. Eine hohe Adhäsionskraft hat den Nachteil, dass die Blattfeder erst bei höheren Auslassdrücken öffnet. Durch höhere Auslassdrücke kommt es zu einer verstärkten Expansion des ÖI/Gas Gemisches am Ventilauslass, welches zu einer erhöhten Geräuschemission führt. Der erhabene Ventilsitz hat somit den Vorteil, dass sich eine Adhäsionskraft nur zwischen Ventilsitz und Blattfeder ausbildet und nicht noch zusätzlich zwischen der Blattfeder und den an den Ventilsitz angrenzenden Bereichen. Dadurch wird die Geräuschemission der Vakuumpumpe reduziert.In this automotive vacuum pump, the valve seat, which is provided around the valve opening, is raised. The valve seat is the part of the housing which forms a support surface for the leaf spring that forms the valve body. In the closed state, the leaf spring is in a pretensioned state in a sealing manner against the valve seat, so that the pump is not ventilated. This improves the efficiency of the pump. "Raised" in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as an embodiment in which the area of the housing that forms the valve seat is structurally lifted from a directly adjoining area by at least 0.2 mm. A raised valve seat has the advantage that the valve seat is clearly delimited from the housing adjoining it. In the case of an oil-lubricated vacuum pump, oil is ejected from the valve opening together with the gas, and this oil is also deposited on the valve seat and the leaf spring. When opening, this oil generates a considerable adhesive force between the valve seat and the leaf spring. A high adhesive force has the disadvantage that the leaf spring only opens at higher outlet pressures. Higher outlet pressures lead to increased expansion of the oil / gas mixture at the valve outlet, which leads to increased noise emissions. The raised valve seat thus has the advantage that an adhesive force only develops between the valve seat and the leaf spring and not additionally between the leaf spring and the areas adjoining the valve seat. This reduces the noise emissions from the vacuum pump.
Eine radiale Überlappung des Ventilsitzes und der Blattfeder nach der vorliegenden Erfindung beträgt dabei weniger als 1,5 mm, bevorzugt 1,0 mm und besonders bevorzugt jedoch weniger als 0,7 mm. Die Überlappung ist in einem überwiegenden Bereich, d.h. mehr als 50% des Umfangs des Ventilsitzes vorhanden. In einem Befestigungsbereich der Blattfeder, in welchem praktisch keine Öffnungsbewegung stattfindet, bzw. der Ölfilm zwischen Ventilsitz und Blattfeder nicht abreißt, kann die Blattfeder eine größere Überlappung aufweisen. Als Überlappung im Sinne der Erfindung wird der Bereich des Ventilsitzes verstanden, welcher in Kontakt mit der geschlossenen Blattfeder kommt. In diesem Kontaktbereich überlappt die Blattfeder mit dem Ventilsitz. Eine radiale Richtung im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Richtung, die in der Ebene des Ventilsitzes, senkrecht zu einer Umfangsrichtung des Ventilsitzes verläuft. Durch eine Verringerung der Überlappung wird die Adhäsionskraft zwischen Blattfeder und Ventilsitz reduziert, so dass die Abströmung beim Öffnen harmonisiert wird. Durch die Verringerung der Überlappung öffnet die Blattfeder bereits bei geringeren Auslassdrücken. Dadurch wird eine von dem Auslassdruck abhängige Expansion des ausgelassenen ÖI/Gas Gemisches reduziert. Daraus folgt, dass auch die Geräuschemission reduziert wird, so dass die Vakuumpumpe im Betrieb zusätzlich leiser wird.A radial overlap of the valve seat and the leaf spring according to the present invention is less than 1.5 mm, preferably 1.0 mm and particularly preferably less than 0.7 mm. The overlap is present in a predominant area, ie more than 50% of the circumference of the valve seat. In a fastening area of the leaf spring in which there is practically no opening movement, or the oil film between the valve seat and the leaf spring does not tear off, the leaf spring can have a greater overlap. The area of the valve seat which comes into contact with the closed leaf spring is understood as an overlap in the context of the invention. In this contact area, the leaf spring overlaps the valve seat. A radial direction in the context of the present invention is a direction which runs in the plane of the valve seat, perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the valve seat. By reducing the overlap, the adhesive force between the leaf spring and the valve seat is reduced so that the outflow when opening is harmonized. By reducing the overlap, the leaf spring opens even at lower outlet pressures. This reduces an expansion of the discharged oil / gas mixture that is dependent on the outlet pressure. It follows that the noise emission is also reduced, so that the vacuum pump is also quieter during operation.
Ein radialer Überhang der Blattfeder ist größer als 1,0 mm. Der Wert des radialen Überhangs ist jedoch nicht an jeder Stelle gleich und kann lokal auch unter 1,0 mm betragen. Im Sinne der Erfindung ist unter dem Wert für den radialen Überhang von 1,0 mm zu verstehen, dass ein Mittelwert für den radialen Überhang größer als 1,0 mm ist. Als radialer Überhang nach der vorliegenden Erfindung wird der Bereich der Blattfeder verstanden, der den Ventilsitz in radialer Richtung nach außen überragt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung kann sich zusätzlich ein Luftkissen zwischen Blattfeder und Gehäuse ausbilden. Dieses Luftkissen bremst die Blattfeder bei der Schließbewegung zusätzlich ab, so dass die Geräuschemission weiter verringert werden kann.A radial overhang of the leaf spring is greater than 1.0 mm. However, the value of the radial overhang is not the same at every point and can also be less than 1.0 mm locally. In the context of the invention, the value for the radial overhang of 1.0 mm is to be understood as meaning that a mean value for the radial overhang is greater than 1.0 mm. The radial overhang according to the present invention is understood to be the area of the leaf spring which protrudes outwardly beyond the valve seat in the radial direction. As a result of this configuration, an air cushion can also be formed between the leaf spring and the housing. This air cushion additionally brakes the leaf spring during the closing movement, so that the noise emission can be further reduced.
Bisher mussten bei der Herstellung der Blattfeder und des Ventilsitzes und bei der Montage der Vakuumpumpe in der Regel enge Fehlertoleranzen eingehalten werden, damit die Blattfeder nach der Montage exakt auf dem Ventilsitz aufliegt. Durch Ausbildung eines Überhanges wird der Bereich, bei dem die Blattfeder in einem ungünstigen Fall den Ventilsitz noch abdeckt, vergrößert. Es ist somit möglich, die Blattfeder und den Ventilsitz mit weniger strengen Fehlertoleranzen herzustellen und zu montieren. Dadurch können die Blattfeder und der Ventilsitz wirtschaftlicher hergestellt werden und die Montage wird erleichtert.Up until now, tight error tolerances had to be observed in the manufacture of the leaf spring and the valve seat and in the assembly of the vacuum pump, so that the leaf spring rests exactly on the valve seat after assembly. By forming an overhang, the area in which the leaf spring is in one in the worst case still covers the valve seat, enlarged. It is thus possible to manufacture and assemble the leaf spring and the valve seat with less strict error tolerances. As a result, the leaf spring and the valve seat can be manufactured more economically and assembly is made easier.
Die Erhabenheit des Ventilsitzes ist mindestens 0,5 mm, bevorzugt mindestens 1,0 mm und besonders bevorzugt mindestens 1,5. Als Erhabenheit im Sinne der Erfindung wird der Abstand zwischen dem Ventilsitz und einer Gehäuseoberfläche verstanden, von welcher der Ventilsitz sich konstruktiv abhebt. Dadurch ist es möglich am Umfang des Ventilsitzes eine ausreichende Fase vorzusehen.The protrusion of the valve seat is at least 0.5 mm, preferably at least 1.0 mm and particularly preferably at least 1.5. Elevation in the sense of the invention is understood to mean the distance between the valve seat and a housing surface from which the valve seat stands out structurally. This makes it possible to provide a sufficient chamfer on the circumference of the valve seat.
Die in der Vakuumpumpe eingesetzte Blattfeder hat vorzugsweise eine Dicke von 0,15 - 0,2 mm. Als Material wird für die Blattfeder vorzugsweise Uddeholm UHB Stainless 716 Stahl verwendet.The leaf spring used in the vacuum pump is preferably 0.15-0.2 mm thick. Uddeholm UHB Stainless 716 steel is preferably used as the material for the leaf spring.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist der Ventilsitz von wenigstens einer angrenzenden Fase umgeben. Als Fase im Sinne der Erfindung sind Radien, Kantenbrüche oder eine abgeschrägte Fläche zu verstehen, welche an einer Werkstückkante ausgebildet ist. Die Fase verbindet dabei zwei verschiedene Seiten eines Werkstückes.According to a preferred embodiment, the valve seat is surrounded by at least one adjacent bevel. A chamfer in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a radius, broken edge or a beveled surface which is formed on a workpiece edge. The bevel connects two different sides of a workpiece.
Die Fase hat die Wirkung, dass sich beim Schließvorgang der Blattfeder zwischen der Fase und der Blattfeder ein zirkuläres Luftpolster mit höherem Druck bildet, welches die Blattfeder abbremst und die Geräuschentwicklung zwischen Ventilsitz und Blattfeder minimiert. Das Geräusch, welches durch ein Anschlagen der Blattfeder an dem Ventilsitz entsteht, wird dadurch erheblich verringert.The bevel has the effect that when the leaf spring closes, a circular air cushion with higher pressure forms between the bevel and the leaf spring, which brakes the leaf spring and minimizes the development of noise between the valve seat and the leaf spring. The noise that occurs when the leaf spring hits the valve seat is significantly reduced.
Vorzugsweise ist die Fase am inneren Umfang des erhabenen Ventilsitzes ausgebildet. Die Fase grenzt dabei innenseitig, also proximal an den Ventilsitz an. Eine solche Fase hat den Vorteil, dass hierfür keine Konstruktionsänderungen vorgenommen werden müssen. Die Fase kann somit auch noch nachträglich an dem erhabenen Ventilsitz ausgebildet werden. Anstelle der Fase am inneren Umfang oder zusätzlich dazu kann in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung eine Fase am äußeren Umfang des erhabenen Ventilsitzes ausgebildet werden.The chamfer is preferably formed on the inner circumference of the raised valve seat. The bevel borders on the inside, i.e. proximally, to the Valve seat on. Such a bevel has the advantage that no design changes have to be made for this. The bevel can thus also be formed subsequently on the raised valve seat. Instead of the bevel on the inner circumference or in addition to this, in a further preferred embodiment a bevel can be formed on the outer circumference of the raised valve seat.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Ventilöffnung und die Blattfeder nierenförmig ausgebildet und die Blattfeder an einem Längsende fixiert. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sich das Auslassventil platzsparend in ein Gehäuse unterbringen lässt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the valve opening and the leaf spring are kidney-shaped and the leaf spring is fixed at one longitudinal end. This has the advantage that the outlet valve can be accommodated in a housing to save space.
Vorzugsweise sind in einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel in der Trennwand zwei Auslassventile ausgebildet. Das erste Auslassventil bildet einen Fluid-Auslass während eines Vorwärtslaufes und das zweite Auslassventil einen Fluid-Auslass während eines Rückwärtslaufes des Rotors. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Kfz-Vakuumpumpe in beiden Laufrichtungen des Rotors betrieben werden kann. Die beiden Blattfedern der Auslassventile sind dabei durch einen einzigen gemeinsamen Federkörper gebildet. Dadurch wird die Anzahl an Teilen der Vakuumpumpe reduziert, so dass der Zusammenbau erleichtert wird und eine Verwechselung zwischen den Blattfedern ausgeschlossen wird.In a further exemplary embodiment, two outlet valves are preferably formed in the partition. The first outlet valve forms a fluid outlet during forward travel and the second outlet valve forms a fluid outlet during reverse travel of the rotor. This has the advantage that the motor vehicle vacuum pump can be operated in both directions of rotation of the rotor. The two leaf springs of the outlet valves are formed by a single common spring body. This reduces the number of parts of the vacuum pump, so that assembly is facilitated and confusion between the leaf springs is excluded.
