Because the sealing element 26, 27 is dimensioned smaller in the axial direction than the immersion pocket 28, 29, an axial gap SA is formed between the axial end face of the sealing element 26, 27 facing away from the rotor 22 and the base surface of the immersion pocket 28, 29 facing the rotor 22. As a result, the immersion pockets 28, 29 in conjunction with the sealing elements 26, 27 together form a compensation device with which manufacturing tolerances in the axial direction, which can be introduced into the pump unit, for example when the conveying element carrier 6 of the first rotary pump 1 is pressed onto it, can be compensated.

- the axial fit length L P refers to the area of the rotor slot 32 in which the conveying element 4 can move unhindered, for example without jamming, transversely to the longitudinal axis L of the rotary pump 2, and in which the conveying element 4 is not pressed against one of the housing parts 23, 24 when the rotor slot 32 is shifted in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, for example to compensate for axial play in the drive shaft 3.
- a circumferential groove 31 is also formed in the drive shaft 3.

The conveying element carrier is advantageously formed in one piece with the drive shaft.
Das wenigstens eine Dichtelement ist verschiebe- und drehfest mit der Antriebswelle und dem Förderelementträger verbunden. Bevorzugt ist das wenigstens eine Dichtelement von der Antriebswelle und dem Förderelementträger einteilig gebildet. Unter "einteilig" soll insbesondere in einem Stück geformt verstanden werden, wie beispielsweise durch eine Herstellung aus einem Guss, in einem Sinterverfahren und/oder durch eine Herstellung in einem Ein- oder Mehrkomponentenspritzverfahren oder vorteilhaft aus einem einzelnen Rohling. Das Dichtelement ist vorteilhaft durch das Material der Antriebswelle und/oder des Rotors, insbesondere des Förderelementträgers, gebildet. Das wenigstens eine Dichtelement ist bevorzugt aus einem Rohling oder aus einem Material, zum Beispiel einem Metallpulver in einem Sinterverfahren oder einem Kunststoff oder Metall in einem Spritzgussverfahren, gemeinsam mit dem Rotor, insbesondere dem Förderelementträger, oder mit der Antriebswelle oder mit dem Rotor, insbesondere dem Förderelementträger, und der Antriebswelle gebildet. Grundsätzlich kann das Dichtelement stoffschlüssig mit der Antriebswelle und/oder dem Rotor, insbesondere dem Förderelementträger, verbunden sein, beispielsweise durch einen Schweißprozess, einen Klebeprozess, einen Anspritzprozess oder dergleichen. Ferner ist es grundsätzlich denkbar, dass das Dichtelement kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit der Antriebswelle und/oder dem Rotor, insbesondere dem Förderelementträger, verbunden ist, beispielsweise durch ein Aufpressen, eine Verzahnung oder dergleichen.The at least one sealing element is connected to the drive shaft and the conveyor element carrier in a displacement- and rotation-proof manner. Preferably, the at least one sealing element is formed in one piece by the drive shaft and the conveyor element carrier. The term "one piece" is to be understood in particular as formed in one piece, such as by production from a cast, in a sintering process and/or by production in a single or multi-component injection process or advantageously from a single blank. The sealing element is advantageously formed from the material of the drive shaft and/or the rotor, in particular the conveyor element carrier. The at least one sealing element is preferably formed from a blank or from a material, for example a metal powder in a sintering process or a plastic or metal in an injection molding process, together with the rotor, in particular the conveyor element carrier, or with the drive shaft or with the rotor, in particular the conveyor element carrier, and the drive shaft. In principle, the sealing element can be connected in a material-locking manner to the drive shaft and/or the rotor, in particular the conveyor element carrier, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection-molding process or the like.

Die Antriebswelle ist bevorzugt in dem Gehäuseteil in wenigstens einem Lagerbereich gelagert, insbesondere gleitgelagert. Der Lagerbereich ist vorteilhaft als ein Gleitlagerbereich ausgebildet. In dem Lagerbereich kann eine Außenumfangsfläche der Antriebswelle mit einer Innenumfangsfläche einer Öffnung oder Bohrung in dem Gehäuseteil einen radialen Lagerspalt bilden, der zum Beispiel der Schmierung des Lagerbereichs dient. Bevorzugt ist ein mittlerer Abstand zwischen der Außenumfangsfläche der Antriebswelle und der Innenumfangsfläche der Öffnung in dem Gehäuseteil kleiner als ein mittleres Maß des radialen Dichtspalts, den das Dichtelement mit dem Gehäuseteil bildet. Das heißt, der radiale Lagerspalt ist in Radialrichtung kleiner oder enger als der radiale Dichtspalt, den das Dichtelement bildet. Das Dichtelement ist zum Gehäuseteil vorzugsweise kontaktlos angeordnet. Der radial gerichteten äußeren Umfangsfläche des Dichtelements fehlt vorzugsweise ein Kontakt mit dem Gehäuseteil. Vorzugsweise fehlt eine radiale und/oder axiale Führung des Dichtelements im Gehäuseteil.The drive shaft is preferably mounted in the housing part in at least one bearing area, in particular in a plain bearing area. The bearing area is advantageously designed as a plain bearing area. In the bearing area, an outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft can form a radial bearing gap with an inner peripheral surface of an opening or bore in the housing part, which serves, for example, to lubricate the bearing area. A mean distance between the outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft and the Inner circumferential surface of the opening in the housing part is smaller than an average dimension of the radial sealing gap that the sealing element forms with the housing part. This means that the radial bearing gap is smaller or narrower in the radial direction than the radial sealing gap that the Sealing element is formed. The sealing element is preferably arranged without contact with the housing part. The radially directed outer circumferential surface of the sealing element preferably has no contact with the housing part. Preferably, there is no radial and/or axial guidance of the sealing element in the housing part.
Eine axiale Erstreckung des Lagerbereichs oder des radialen Lagerspalts ist mindestens doppelt so groß, vorteilhaft mindestens dreimal so groß und besonders vorteilhaft mindestens viermal so groß wie eine axiale Erstreckung des Dichtbereichs oder des radialen Dichtspalts.An axial extension of the bearing area or the radial bearing gap is at least twice as large, advantageously at least three times as large and particularly advantageously at least four times as large as an axial extension of the sealing area or the radial sealing gap.
Bevorzugt sind der Lagerbereich (und damit der radiale Lagerspalt) und der Dichtbereich (und damit der radiale Dichtspalt) vollständig außerhalb des Förderraums der Rotationspumpe gebildet. Der radiale Dichtspalt kann bis an eine axiale Stirnseite des Förderraums reichen. Vorzugsweise ist der radiale Dichtspalt in Axialrichtung der Rotationspumpe zwischen dem Förderraum und dem radialen Lagerspalt gebildet. Der Axialspalt zwischen dem Dichtelement und dem Gehäuseteil ist vorzugsweise axial zwischen dem radialen Dichtspalt und dem radialen Lagerspalt angeordnet.Preferably, the bearing area (and thus the radial bearing gap) and the sealing area (and thus the radial sealing gap) are formed completely outside the delivery chamber of the rotary pump. The radial sealing gap can extend to an axial end face of the delivery chamber. Preferably, the radial sealing gap is formed in the axial direction of the rotary pump between the delivery chamber and the radial bearing gap. The axial gap between the sealing element and the housing part is preferably arranged axially between the radial sealing gap and the radial bearing gap.
Vorzugsweise ist die Antriebswelle in zumindest zwei voneinander axial beabstandeten Lagerbereichen in dem Gehäuseteil gelagert, insbesondere gleitgelagert.

Vorteilhaft ist die axiale Erstreckung der Lagerbereiche jeweils mindestens doppelt so groß, vorteilhaft mindestens dreimal so groß und besonders vorteilhaft mindestens viermal so groß wie die axiale Erstreckung des radialen Dichtspalts.The drive shaft is preferably mounted in the housing part in at least two bearing areas that are axially spaced apart from one another, in particular in a plain bearing. The radial bearing gap in the bearing areas is preferably smaller in the radial direction than the radial sealing gap. The axial extent of the bearing areas is advantageously at least twice as large, advantageously at least three times as large and particularly advantageously at least four times as large as the axial extent of the radial sealing gap.
Das Dichtelement dichtet die Rotationspumpe radial an einer axialen Stirnseite ab, so dass kein oder möglichst wenig Fluid aus dem Förderraum austreten kann. Das Dichtelement kann eine Kompensationseinrichtung bilden, die Fertigungstoleranzen entlang der Antriebswelle ausgleichen kann.The sealing element seals the rotary pump radially on an axial end face so that no or as little fluid as possible can escape from the pumping chamber. The sealing element can form a compensation device that can compensate for manufacturing tolerances along the drive shaft.
Das Dichtelement weist erfindungsgemäß einer Außendurchmesser auf, der größer ist als oder gleich ist wie ein Außendurchmesser des Förderelementträgers. Grundsätzlich ist denkbar, insbesondere wenn der Außendurchmesser des Dichtelements größer ist als der Außendurchmesser Förderelementträgers, dass das Dichtelement axial den Förderraum begrenzt. Erfindungsgemäß weist das Dichtelement einen Außendurchmesser auf, der größer ist als ein Außendurchmesser der Antriebswelle, insbesondere größer als der Außendurchmesser der Antriebswelle im Lagerbereich.According to the invention, the sealing element has an outer diameter that is larger than or equal to an outer diameter of the conveyor element carrier. In principle, it is conceivable, especially if the outer diameter of the sealing element is larger than the outer diameter of the conveyor element carrier, that the Sealing element axially delimits the conveying chamber. According to the invention, the sealing element has an outer diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the drive shaft, in particular larger than the outer diameter of the drive shaft in the bearing area.
Vorzugsweise weist der Förderelementträger an beiden axialen Stirnseiten je ein Dichtelement auf, wobei die axiale Erstreckung eines Lagerbereichs größer ist als die Summe der axialen Erstreckungen der radialen Dichtspalte beider Dichtelemente. Der Rotor kann einen separaten Förderelementträger umfassen oder diesen Förderelementträger bilden, der mit der Antriebswelle form-, kraft- und/oder stoffschlüssig so verbunden werden kann, dass sich der Rotor oder Förderelementträger relativ zur Antriebswelle nicht drehen und bevorzugt relativ zur Antriebswelle auch nicht linear verschoben werden kann. Dazu kann der Rotor oder Förderelementträger zum Beispiel auf die Antriebswelle aufgepresst und/oder verschweißt oder verschraubt sein. Der Förderelementträger kann einteilig sein mit einer zentralen Öffnung, oder aus zwei Halbschalen bestehen, die miteinander gefügt und dabei beispielsweise form-, kraft- und/oder stoffschlüssig mit der Antriebswelle verbunden werden. Der Förderelementträger bildet das wenigstens eine Dichtelement mit.The conveying element carrier preferably has a sealing element on each of its two axial end faces, the axial extent of a bearing region being greater than the sum of the axial extents of the radial sealing gaps of both sealing elements. The rotor can comprise a separate conveying element carrier or form this conveying element carrier, which can be connected to the drive shaft in a form-fitting, force-fitting and/or material-fitting manner such that the rotor or conveying element carrier cannot rotate relative to the drive shaft and preferably cannot be moved linearly relative to the drive shaft either. For this purpose, the rotor or conveying element carrier can be pressed and/or welded or screwed onto the drive shaft, for example. The conveying element carrier can be one-piece with a central opening, or consist of two half-shells that are joined together and, for example, connected to the drive shaft in a form-fitting, force-fitting and/or material-fitting manner. The conveying element carrier forms the at least one sealing element.
Vorzugsweise bildet der Rotor zum Beispiel mit einem weiteren Rotor oder mit Hilfe von Förderelementen, wie Flügeln, Pendelschiebern, etc., Förderzellen, die das Fluid vom Einlass in den Förderraum zum Auslass aus dem Förderraum fördern. Dabei kann das Fluid zum Beispiel bei einer exzentrischen Anordnung des Rotors im Förderraum verdichtet oder bei einem wenig komprimierbaren Fluid der Druck im Fluid erhöht werden.Preferably, the rotor forms conveying cells, for example with another rotor or with the help of conveying elements such as vanes, pendulum slides, etc., which convey the fluid from the inlet into the conveying chamber to the outlet from the conveying chamber. The fluid can be compressed in the conveying chamber, for example, if the rotor is arranged eccentrically, or the pressure in the fluid can be increased if the fluid is not very compressible.
Der Rotor, respektive wenigstens ein Teil des Rotors, insbesondere der Förderelementträger bei einer als Flügelzellenpumpe oder Pendelschieberpumpe ausgebildeten Rotationspumpe, und das Dichtelement können einstückig mit der Antriebswelle ausgebildet sein. Das heißt, die Antriebswelle kann zum Beispiel nur den Teil des Rotors oder den Förderelementträger mit bilden, der die Flügel, Pendel, etc. aufnehmen kann, die dann im Betrieb der Rotationspumpe entlang einer Innenumfangswand des Förderraums geführt werden und zusammen mit der Innenumfangswand die Förderzellen bilden. In diesem Fall wird der Rotor vom Förderelementträger und den besagten Förderelementen, wie beispielweise Flügeln oder Pendeln, gebildet. Dabei ist der Förderelementträger vorzugsweise einstückig mit der Antriebswelle ausgebildet.The rotor, or at least a part of the rotor, in particular the conveyor element carrier in a rotary pump designed as a vane pump or pendulum slide pump, and the sealing element can be formed in one piece with the drive shaft. This means that the drive shaft can, for example, only form the part of the rotor or the conveying element carrier that can accommodate the vanes, pendulums, etc., which are then guided along an inner peripheral wall of the conveying chamber during operation of the rotary pump and together with the inner peripheral wall form the conveying cells. In this case, the rotor is formed by the conveying element carrier and the said conveying elements, such as vanes or pendulums. The conveying element carrier is preferably formed in one piece with the drive shaft.
Wird das Fluid beim Transport im Förderraum vom Einlass zum Auslass nicht nur gefördert, sondern gleichzeitig verdichtet bzw. ein Druckniveau des Fluids angehoben, kann der Rotor im Förderraum exzentrisch angeordnet sein, was dann bei einer Drehung des Rotors zu Förderzellen mit sich änderndem Volumen führt. Das Gehäuseteil, das die Förderkammer axial begrenzt, wie beispielsweise ein BodenIf the fluid is not only conveyed during transport in the conveying chamber from the inlet to the outlet, but is simultaneously compressed or the pressure level of the fluid is increased, the rotor can be arranged eccentrically in the conveying chamber, which then leads to conveying cells with a changing volume when the rotor rotates. The housing part that axially limits the conveying chamber, such as a base
und/oder ein Deckel, der die Förderkammer axial abschließt, bildet eine der Förderkammer axial zugewandte Fläche. In dieser Fläche kann eine zum Förderraum axial offeneand/or a cover which axially closes the conveying chamber forms a surface facing axially towards the conveying chamber. In this surface, a
Eintauchtasche gebildet sein, in die sich das wenigstens eine Dichtelement erstreckt. Eine axiale Erstreckung oder Tiefe der Eintauchtasche ist bevorzugt größer als die axiale Erstreckung des Dichtelements, so dass über das Dichtelement, da es einen Außendurchmesser hat, der einem Außendurchmesser des Förderelementträgers entspricht oder größer ist, zum Beispiel Fertigungstoleranzen der Antriebswelle ausgeglichen werden können.An immersion pocket can be formed into which the at least one sealing element extends. An axial extent or depth of the immersion pocket is preferably greater than the axial extent of the sealing element, so that, for example, manufacturing tolerances of the drive shaft can be compensated for via the sealing element, since it has an outer diameter that corresponds to or is larger than an outer diameter of the conveyor element carrier.
Bei der Eintauchtasche handelt es sich vorteilhaft um eine Vertiefung, die in das Gehäuseteil eingebracht ist und in die sich das Dichtelement bei zusammengebauter Rotationspumpe axial erstreckt oder in der es angeordnet ist. Das Dichtelement erfährt in der Eintauchtasche vorteilhaft keine Führung. Die Eintauchtasche ist in dem Gehäuseteil angrenzend an den Förderraum und vor der Öffnung, die den Lagerbereich für die Antriebswelle bildet, angeordnet, so dass sich im Gehäuseteil eine umlaufende Nut ergibt, die unmittelbar an den Förderraum angrenzt. Die Eintauchtasche ist axial zum Förderraum und radial zur Antriebswelle offen ausgeführt. Die Eintauchtasche kann im Deckel und/oder im Boden des Förderraums eingebracht sein. Ein Außendurchmesser derThe immersion pocket is advantageously a recess that is made in the housing part and into which the sealing element extends axially when the rotary pump is assembled or in which it is arranged. The sealing element is advantageously not guided in the immersion pocket. The immersion pocket is arranged in the housing part adjacent to the conveying chamber and in front of the opening that forms the bearing area for the drive shaft, so that a circumferential groove is formed in the housing part that is directly adjacent to the conveying chamber. The immersion pocket is designed to be open axially to the conveying chamber and radially to the drive shaft. The immersion pocket can be cover and/or in the floor of the conveying chamber. An outer diameter of the
Eintauchtasche ist kleiner als ein Außendurchmesser des Förderraums. Als Außendurchmesser der Eintauchtasche soll hier vorzugsweise der Abstand zweier sich bezogen auf eine Längsmittelachse des Förderraums gegenüberliegender Punkte in der radial äußere Umfangsfläche der Eintauchtasche verstanden werden.The immersion pocket is smaller than an outer diameter of the conveying chamber. The outer diameter of the immersion pocket should preferably be understood here as the distance between two points in the radially outer circumferential surface of the immersion pocket that are opposite one another in relation to a longitudinal center axis of the conveying chamber.
Eine axiale Erstreckung der Eintauchtasche soll insbesondere größer sein als ein maximales Axialspiel der Antriebswelle, welches beispielsweise durch Fertigungs- und/oder Montagetoleranzen vom Gehäuse und/oder der Verbindung von Rotor und Antriebswelle bestimmt wird. Die axiale Erstreckung der Eintauchtasche ist vorteilhaft mindestens doppelt und besonders vorteilhaft mindestens dreimal so groß wie die axiale Erstreckung des Lagerbereichs.An axial extension of the immersion pocket should in particular be greater than a maximum axial play of the drive shaft, which is determined, for example, by manufacturing and/or assembly tolerances of the housing and/or the connection between the rotor and the drive shaft. The axial extension of the immersion pocket is advantageously at least twice and particularly advantageously at least three times as large as the axial extension of the bearing area.
Das Gehäuse der Rotationspumpe kann beispielsweise einen Deckel, der den Förderraum an einer ersten axialen Seite oder einem ersten axialen Ende abschließt, und einen Boden, der dem Deckel bezogen auf den Förderraum axial gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist und eine zweite axiale Seite des Förderraums abschließt, aufweisen. Dabei kann der Boden mit dem Gehäuse als Einheit gebildet sein, so dass der Förderraum topfförmig ist und mit dem Deckel verschlossen werden kann.The housing of the rotary pump can, for example, have a cover that closes off the delivery chamber on a first axial side or a first axial end, and a base that is arranged axially opposite the cover in relation to the delivery chamber and closes off a second axial side of the delivery chamber. The base can be formed as a unit with the housing, so that the delivery chamber is pot-shaped and can be closed with the cover.
Die Eintauchtasche kann, wie bereits erwähnt, im Deckel und/oder im Boden, die die Förderkammer axial begrenzen, eingebracht sein. Umfasst jedes axiale Ende jeweils eine Eintauchtasche, so können die Eintauchtaschen im Boden und Deckel und die in sie hineinragenden oder an ihnen angeordneten Dichtelemente identische oder unterschiedliche Durchmesser und identische oder unterschiedliche axiale Erstreckungen aufweisen. Bevorzugt ist es, wenn in diesem Fall beide Dichtelemente identisch ausgebildet sind.As already mentioned, the immersion pocket can be incorporated in the cover and/or in the base, which axially delimit the conveying chamber. If each axial end comprises an immersion pocket, the immersion pockets in the base and cover and the sealing elements protruding into them or arranged on them can have identical or different diameters and identical or different axial extensions. It is preferred if in this case both sealing elements are identical.
Der radiale Dichtspalt, der durch eine radiale Außenumfangsfläche des Dichtelements und eine dem Dichtelement zugewandte radiale Innenumfangsfläche der Eintauchtasche gebildet wird, kann beispielsweise mit einem Fluid gefüllt werden, um die Förderkammer radial abzudichten. Der Zufluss des Fluids in die Eintauchtasche kann beispielsweise ein Leckagefluss entlang der Antriebswelle im Lagerspalt sein und/oder ein Fluid, insbesondere ein von einer Fluidförderpumpe gefördertes Fluid, kann über wenigstens einen Kanal direkt in die Eintauchtasche geleitet werden.The radial sealing gap, which is formed by a radial outer circumferential surface of the sealing element and a radial inner circumferential surface of the immersion pocket facing the sealing element, can be filled with a fluid, for example, in order to radially seal the conveying chamber. The inflow of the fluid into the immersion pocket can, for example, be a leakage flow along the drive shaft in the bearing gap and/or a fluid, in particular a fluid conveyed by a fluid conveying pump, can be guided directly into the immersion pocket via at least one channel.
Die Antriebswelle kann eine axiale Nut aufweisen, um die Zuführung des Fluids in die Eintauchtasche zu unterstützen. Der Dichtspalt kann über seine axiale Erstreckung eine überall gleiche radiale Erstreckung oder Spaltdicke aufweisen, das heißt, die radiale Außenumfangsfläche des Dichtelements und die radiale Innenumfangsfläche der Eintauchtasche verlaufen parallel zueinander. Alternativ kann der Dichtspalt eine sich über seine axiale Erstreckung ändernde radiale Spaltdicke aufweisen, zum Beispiel keilförmig sein, Bereiche sich verkleinernder und vergrößernder Spaltdicke aufweisen, oder anderweitig unterschiedliche Spaltdicken aufweisen. Zumindest die radiale Außenumfangsfläche des Dichtelements kann zumindest in einem umlaufenden axialen Teilbereich aufgeraut sein oder ein Profil aufweisen, das vorteilhaft für die radiale Abdichtung sein kann.The drive shaft can have an axial groove to support the supply of fluid into the immersion pocket. The sealing gap can have the same radial extent or gap thickness over its axial extent, i.e. the radial outer circumferential surface of the sealing element and the radial inner circumferential surface of the immersion pocket run parallel to one another. Alternatively, the sealing gap can have a radial gap thickness that changes over its axial extent, for example it can be wedge-shaped, have areas of decreasing and increasing gap thickness, or have different gap thicknesses in other ways. At least the radial outer circumferential surface of the sealing element can be roughened at least in a circumferential axial partial area or have a profile that can be advantageous for radial sealing.
Die Antriebswelle ist im Gehäuse, respektive im Gehäuseteil außerhalb des Förderraums gelagert, insbesondere gleitgelagert. Die Antriebswelle weist zumindest einen Lagerbereich auf. Das Dichtelement ist vorzugsweise axial zwischen einem Lagerbereich und dem Förderraum in der Eintauchtasche angeordnet. Eine axiale Erstreckung des Lagerbereichs der Antriebswelle ist vorzugsweise wesentlich größer als eine axiale Erstreckung des Dichtelements, insbesondere als eine axiale Erstreckung der Eintauchtasche. Die axiale Erstreckung des Lagerbereichs der Antriebswelle ist vorteilhaft mindestens zweimal, besonders vorteilhaft mindestens dreimal und ganz besonders vorteilhaft mindestens viermal so groß wie die axiale Erstreckung des Dichtelements, insbesondere wie die axiale Erstreckung der Eintauchtasche.The drive shaft is mounted in the housing, or in the housing part outside the conveying chamber, in particular in a sliding bearing. The drive shaft has at least one bearing area. The sealing element is preferably arranged axially between a bearing area and the conveying chamber in the immersion pocket. An axial extension of the bearing area of the drive shaft is preferably significantly larger than an axial extension of the sealing element, in particular than an axial extension of the immersion pocket. The axial extension of the bearing area of the drive shaft is advantageously at least twice, particularly advantageously at least three times and very particularly advantageously at least four times as large as the axial extension of the sealing element, in particular as the axial extension of the immersion pocket.
Der Rotorschlitz des Förderelementträgers erstreckt sich vorzugsweise axial in die Antriebswelle hinein, so dass der Rotorschlitz das Dichtelement im Bereich des Rotorschlitzes axial überlappt. Der Rotorschlitz erstreckt sich vorteilhaft zumindest an einer Axialseite axial aus dem Förderraum hinaus. Der Rotorschlitz erstreckt sich vorteilhaft zumindest an einer Axialseite axial in einen Lagerbereich der Antriebswelle hinein. Dadurch kann ein Schmier- und/oder Dichtmittel, insbesondere eine Flüssigkeit, wie beispielsweise Öl, aus dem Lagerbereich der Antriebswelle in den Förderraum gelangen, um beispielsweise sich bewegende Teile des Rotors zu schmieren und/oder die Förderzellen des Förderraums gegeneinander abzudichten.The rotor slot of the conveying element carrier preferably extends axially into the drive shaft, so that the rotor slot axially overlaps the sealing element in the region of the rotor slot. The rotor slot advantageously extends axially out of the conveying chamber at least on one axial side. The rotor slot advantageously extends axially into a bearing region of the drive shaft at least on one axial side. This allows a lubricant and/or sealing agent, in particular a liquid such as oil, to pass from the bearing region of the drive shaft into the conveying chamber, for example to lubricate moving parts of the rotor and/or to seal the conveying cells of the conveying chamber against one another.
Der Rotorschlitz kann eine axiale Erstreckung oder Länge aufweisen, die wenigstens so lang ist wie die axiale Erstreckung oder Länge des Rotors plus die axiale Erstreckung des wenigstens einen Dichtelements oder der Eintauchtasche. Bevorzugt ist die axiale Erstreckung oder Länge des Rotorschlitzes größer. Eine axiale Passerstreckung oder Passlänge des Rotors ist bevorzugt wenigstens so lang wie die axiale Erstreckung des Rotors plus ein maximales Axialspiel der Antriebswelle. Als Passerstreckung oder Passlänge soll hier vorzugsweise der Bereich des Rotorschlitzes gelten, in dem beispielsweise ein Flügel des Rotors ungehindert quer zur Rotationsachse in dem Rotorschlitz bewegt werden kann, unabhängig zum Beispiel eines axialen Spiels der Antriebswelle.The rotor slot may have an axial extent or length that is at least as long as the axial extent or length of the rotor plus the axial extent of the at least one sealing element or the immersion pocket. The axial extent or length of the rotor slot is preferably greater. An axial fit extent or fit length of the rotor is preferably at least as long as the axial extent of the rotor plus a maximum axial play of the drive shaft. The fit extent or fit length here is preferably the area of the rotor slot in which, for example, a blade of the rotor can be moved unhindered transversely to the axis of rotation in the rotor slot, regardless of, for example, an axial play of the drive shaft.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Dichtelement als eine axiale Verlängerung des Förderelementträgers gebildet, die sich aus dem Förderraum axial in das Gehäuseteil erstreckt. Diese Verlängerung erfährt in dem Gehäuseteil vorzugsweise keine Führung und/oder Lagerung und/oder Zentrierung. Eine Führung und/oder Lagerung und/oder Zentrierung der Antriebswelle erfolgt vorteilhaft lediglich in dem zumindest einem Lagerbereich und nicht in dem durch das zumindest eine Dichtelement als Verlängerung bereitgestellten Dichtbereich.According to the invention, the sealing element is formed as an axial extension of the conveying element carrier, which extends axially from the conveying chamber into the housing part. This extension preferably does not undergo any guidance and/or bearing and/or centering in the housing part. Guidance and/or bearing and/or centering of the drive shaft advantageously only takes place in the at least one bearing area and not in the sealing area provided as an extension by the at least one sealing element.
Ein zweiter Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Pumpeinheit mit einer ersten Rotationspumpe mit einem Förderraum, in dem wenigstens ein Rotor angeordnet ist, der ein erstes Fluid von einem Einlass in den Förderraum auf einer Niederdruckseite der ersten Rotationspumpe zu einem Auslass aus dem Förderraum auf einer Hochdruckseite der ersten Rotationspumpe fördert, mit einer zweiten Rotationspumpe mit einem Förderraum, in dem wenigstens ein Rotor angeordnet ist, der ein zweites Fluid von einem Einlass in den Förderraum auf einer Niederdruckseite der zweiten Rotationspumpe zu einem Auslass aus dem Förderraum auf einer Hochdruckseite der zweiten Rotationspumpe fördert, und mit einer Antriebswelle zum Antrieb beider Rotationspumpen, wobei der Rotor der ersten Rotationspumpe und der Rotor der zweiten Rotationspumpe axial verschiebe- und drehfest mit der Antriebswelle verbunden sind.A second aspect of the invention relates to a pump unit with a first rotary pump with a delivery chamber in which at least one rotor is arranged, which delivers a first fluid from an inlet into the delivery chamber on a low-pressure side of the first rotary pump to an outlet from the delivery chamber on a high-pressure side of the first rotary pump, with a second rotary pump with a delivery chamber in which at least one rotor is arranged, which delivers a second fluid from an inlet into the delivery chamber on a low-pressure side of the second rotary pump to an outlet from the delivery chamber on a high-pressure side of the second rotary pump, and with a drive shaft for driving both rotary pumps, wherein the rotor of the first rotary pump and the rotor of the second rotary pump are connected to the drive shaft in an axially displaceable and rotationally fixed manner.
Bei der Antriebswelle handelt es sich um eine einteilige Antriebswelle mit einer durchgängigen Rotationsachse. Das heißt, die Antriebswelle erstreckt sich durch den Förderraum der ersten Rotationspumpe und durch den Förderraum der zweiten Rotationspumpe, wobei bevorzugt wenigstens ein axiales Ende der Antriebswelle sich bis aus einem Gehäuse der Pumpeinheit heraus erstrecken kann, um mit einem Antrieb verbunden zu werden. Die Antriebswelle kann wenigstens einen Teil des Rotors der ersten Rotationspumpe und/oder einen Teil des Rotors der zweiten Rotationspumpe einteilig ausbilden, wie dies zum ersten Aspekt beschrieben wurde. Wenigstens ein Teil zumindest eines der Rotoren kann auf die Rotorwelle aufgepresst oder auf andere Weise mit dem Rotor drehfest und bevorzugt auch linear in Axialrichtung nicht bewegbar oder verstellbar verbunden sein, siehe hierzu auch die Beschreibung der Antriebswelle zum ersten Aspekt. Bevorzugt handelt es sich bei dem ersten Fluid und dem zweiten Fluid um unterschiedliche Fluide. Das Fluid der ersten Rotationspumpe, die beispielsweise eine Flüssigkeitsförderpumpe sein kann, kann ein Schmieröl sein, mit dem die erste Rotationspumpe und/oder die zweite Rotationspumpe und/oder wenigstens ein Aggregat zum Beispiel ein Antriebsmotor, wie ein Verbrennungs-, ein Hybrid- oder Elektromotor eines Kraftfahrzeugs, mit Schmieröl versorgt werden. Das zweite Fluid der zweiten Rotationspumpe, die eine Gaspumpe oder Vakuumpumpe sein kann, kann ein Gas sein, das zur Erzeugung eines Vakuums zum Beispiel aus einem Aggregat, insbesondere einem Bremskraftverstärker eines Kraftfahrzeugs, entzogen wird.The drive shaft is a one-piece drive shaft with a continuous axis of rotation. This means that the drive shaft extends through the delivery chamber of the first rotary pump and through the delivery chamber of the second rotary pump, wherein preferably at least one axial end of the drive shaft can extend out of a housing of the pump unit in order to be connected to a drive. The drive shaft can form at least part of the rotor of the first rotary pump and/or part of the rotor of the second rotary pump in one piece. form as was described for the first aspect. At least a part of at least one of the rotors can be pressed onto the rotor shaft or connected to the rotor in another way in a rotationally fixed manner and preferably also in a linear manner in the axial direction so as not to be movable or adjustable, see also the description of the drive shaft for the first aspect. The first fluid and the second fluid are preferably different fluids. The fluid of the first rotary pump, which can be a liquid feed pump, for example, can be a lubricating oil with which the first rotary pump and/or the second rotary pump and/or at least one unit, for example a drive motor, such as an internal combustion engine, a hybrid or electric motor of a motor vehicle, are supplied with lubricating oil. The second fluid of the second rotary pump, which can be a gas pump or vacuum pump, can be a gas which is extracted from a unit, in particular a brake booster of a motor vehicle, for example, to generate a vacuum.
Bei der zweiten Rotationspumpe handelt es sich um eine Rotationspumpe nach dem ersten Aspekt.The second rotary pump is a rotary pump according to the first aspect.
Durch das Dichtelement oder die Dichtelemente kann bei dieser Anordnung insbesondere eine Fertigungstoleranz in einem Abstand zwischen dem Rotor der ersten Rotationspumpe und dem Rotor der zweiten Rotationspumpe ausgeglichen werden, die beispielweise durch das Aufpressen wenigstens eines der Rotoren, insbesondere eines der Förderelementträger, auf die Antriebswelle in das System oder die Anordnung eingetragen wird. Das heißt mit anderen Worten, das in die Eintauchtasche eingreifende Dichtelement kann bei der zusammengebauten Pumpe oder Pumpeinheit eine Kompensationsvorrichtung bilden, mit der ein axiales Spiel im System entlang der Antriebswelle aufgrund von zum Beispiel Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden kann, ohne dass dadurch die Abdichtung des Förderraums aufgehoben wird.In this arrangement, the sealing element or sealing elements can compensate in particular for a manufacturing tolerance in a distance between the rotor of the first rotary pump and the rotor of the second rotary pump, which is introduced into the system or arrangement, for example, by pressing at least one of the rotors, in particular one of the conveying element carriers, onto the drive shaft. In other words, the sealing element engaging in the immersion pocket can form a compensation device in the assembled pump or pump unit, with which an axial play in the system along the drive shaft due to manufacturing tolerances, for example, can be compensated without this eliminating the seal of the conveying chamber.
Eine Eintauchtasche kann beispielsweise in einem Boden der zweiten Förderpumpe gebildet sein, wobei der Boden den Förderraum im Regelfall gegenüber der Umgebung der Pumpeinheit abdichtet. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann eine oder eine weitere Eintauchtasche in wenigstens einem Deckel der zweiten Rotationspumpe gebildet sein. Bei der Pumpenanordnung kann der Deckel ein Gehäuseteil sein, das den Förderraum der ersten Rotationspumpe von dem Förderraum der zweiten Rotationspumpe trennt und eine Öffnung aufweist, die von der Antriebswelle durchgriffen werden kann. Die Eintauchtasche ist in diesem Fall als eine dem Förderraum zugewandte radiale Aufweitung der Öffnung in dem Deckel gebildet.An immersion pocket can be formed, for example, in a base of the second feed pump, whereby the base generally seals the feed chamber from the environment of the pump unit. Additionally or alternatively, one or more immersion pockets can be formed in at least one cover of the second rotary pump. In the pump arrangement, the cover can be a housing part that Discharge chamber of the first rotary pump from the discharge chamber of the second rotary pump and has an opening through which the drive shaft can pass. In this case, the immersion pocket is formed as a radial widening of the opening in the cover facing the conveying chamber.
Die Rotorwelle oder Antriebswelle kann im Bereich der Eintauchtasche im Deckel und/oder Boden der Rotationspumpe eine Fluidnut aufweisen. Die Fluidnut kann in der Welle bevorzugt umlaufend ausgebildet sein. Über die Fluidnut kann zum Beispiel Fluid aus der Eintauchtasche in den Rotorschlitz fließen, um die sich bewegenden Teile des Rotors zu schmieren und/oder die Förderzellen eines Förderraums gegeneinander abzudichten.The rotor shaft or drive shaft can have a fluid groove in the area of the immersion pocket in the cover and/or base of the rotary pump. The fluid groove can preferably be designed to run all the way around the shaft. For example, fluid can flow from the immersion pocket into the rotor slot via the fluid groove in order to lubricate the moving parts of the rotor and/or to seal the conveying cells of a conveying chamber against one another.
Bei der Fluid- oder Flüssigkeitsförderpumpe kann es sich insbesondere um eine innenachsige Pumpe, wie eine Flügelzellenpumpe oder eine Pendelschieberpumpe handeln.The fluid or liquid conveying pump can in particular be an internal-axis pump, such as a vane pump or a pendulum slide pump.
Bei der Gas- oder Vakuumpumpe kann es sich insbesondere um eine innenachsige Pumpe, wie zum Beispiel eine Rotationskolbenpumpe, eine Kolbenpendelpumpe, eine Flügelzellenpumpe, eine Pendelschieberpumpe, eine Innenzahnradpumpe oder eine im Stand der Technik bekannte innenachsige Pumpe, oder um eine außenachsige Pumpe, wie etwa eine Außenzahnradpumpe, handeln.The gas or vacuum pump can in particular be an internal-axis pump, such as a rotary piston pump, a piston pendulum pump, a vane pump, a pendulum slide pump, an internal gear pump or an internal-axis pump known in the prior art, or an external-axis pump, such as an external gear pump.
Die Pumpeneinheit, die aus wenigstens einer Fluidförderpumpe und wenigstens einer Vakuumpumpe besteht, kann zum Beispiel an einen Motor, insbesondere einen Verbrennungsmotor eines Kraftfahrzeugs angebracht oder kann für den Anbau an diesen Motor vorgesehen sein. Die Antriebswelle der Pumpeneinheit kann antriebstechnisch mit dem Motor verbunden sein, so dass die Pumpeneinheit zumindest zeitweise in Anhängigkeit vom Motor oder von einem Kennfeld mit motorabhängigen Parametern angetrieben respektive gesteuert oder geregelt wird. Alternativ kann die Pumpeneinheit über einen eigenen Antrieb, wie beispielsweise einen Elektromotor, angetrieben werden.The pump unit, which consists of at least one fluid feed pump and at least one vacuum pump, can be attached to an engine, in particular an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, for example, or can be intended for attachment to this engine. The drive shaft of the pump unit can be connected to the engine in terms of drive technology, so that the pump unit is driven or controlled or regulated at least temporarily as a function of the engine or a characteristic map with engine-dependent parameters. Alternatively, the pump unit can be driven by its own drive, such as an electric motor.

Die Rotationspumpen 1, 2 umfassen ein gemeinsames Pumpengehäuse. Das Pumpengehäuse weist die Gehäuseteile 13, 14, 23, 24 auf. Die zwei Gehäuseteile 13, 23 sind in einem Gehäuseteil vereint. Sie sind durch ein einziges Gehäuseteil gebildet. Das Gehäuseteil 24 bildet einen Boden des Förderraums 21 der zweiten Rotationspumpe 2 mit einer zentralen Öffnung, durch den die Antriebswelle 3 mit einem nicht gezeigten Antrieb verbunden werden kann. Das Gehäuseteil 24 verschließt eine axiale Stirnseite des Förderraums 21 auf der der ersten Rotationspumpe 1 abgewandten Seite. Auf der der ersten Rotationspumpe 1 zugewandten Stirnseite wird der Förderraum 21 durch das Gehäuseteil 23 verschlossen, das gleichzeitig das Gehäuseteil 13 für eine axiale Stirnseite des Förderraums 11 der ersten Rotationspumpe 1 bildet und eine Öffnung umfasst, durch die sich die Antriebswelle 3 vom Förderraum 21 in den Förderraum 11 erstreckt. Die zweite axiale Stirnseite des Förderraums 11 wird durch das Gehäuseteil 14 verschlossen.The rotary pumps 1, 2 comprise a common pump housing. The pump housing has the
Die Antriebswelle 3 ist mittels drei axial beabstandeter Gleitlager im Pumpengehäuse gelagert. Die Antriebswelle 3 weist drei axial beabstandete Lagerbereiche 7, 8, 9 auf. Die Antriebswelle 3 ist in dem Lagerbereich 9 in dem Gehäuseteil 14, in dem Lagerbereich 7 in dem gemeinsamen Gehäuseteil 13, 23 und in dem Lagerbereich 8 in dem Gehäuseteil 24 gleitgelagert. In den Lagerbereichen 7, 8, 9 bilden die Außenumfangsfläche der Antriebswelle 3 und die ihr radial gegenüberliegenden Innenumfangsflächen der Gehäuseteile 14, 13, 23, 24 einen Lagerspalt SL. Der Förderraum 11 der ersten Rotationspumpe 1 ist axial zwischen dem Lagerbereich 9 und dem Lagerbereich 7 angeordnet. Der Förderraum 21 der zweiten Rotationspumpe 2 ist axial zwischen dem Lagerbereich 7 und dem Lagerbereich 8 angeordnet.The
Die zweite Rotationspumpe 2 umfasst zwei axial beabstandete Dichtelemente 26, 27, die sich außerhalb des Förderraums 21 in Eintauchtaschen 28, 29 erstrecken, die in das Gehäuseteil 24 und in das Gehäuseteil 23 eingebracht sind. Der Förderraum 21 ist axial zwischen den Dichtelementen 26, 27 angeordnet. Das Dichtelement 26 ist axial zwischen dem Lagerbereich 7 und dem Förderraum 21 angeordnet. Das Dichtelement 27 ist axial zwischen dem Lagerbereich 8 und dem Förderraum 21 angeordnet.The second

Der radiale Dichtspalt SD ist größer oder hat eine größere radiale Erstreckung als der Lagerspalt SL. Die Eintauchtaschen 28, 29 weisen jeweils einen Außendurchmesser auf, der größer ist als ein Außendurchmesser des Förderelementträgers 5 des Rotors 22.The radial outer surfaces of the sealing

Die Dichtelemente 26, 27 sind einstückig mit dem Förderelementträger 5 des Rotors 22 und der Antriebswelle 3 gebildet. Sie dichten den Förderraum 21 radial ab. Die Dichtelemente 26, 27 weisen den gleichen Außendurchmesser auf wie der Förderelementträger 5. Die Dichtelemente 26, 27 sind als oder durch axiale Verlängerungen des Förderelementträgers 5 gebildet, die sich aus dem Förderraum 21 axial in die Eintauchtaschen 28, 29 erstrecken. Die Verlängerungen weisen dabei einen Außendurchmesser auf, der größer ist als ein Außendurchmesser der Antriebswelle 3. Die Verlängerungen erstrecken sich in die den Förderraum 21 axial begrenzenden Gehäuseteile 23, 24.The sealing
Eine axiale Erstreckung der Dichtelemente 26, 27 ist kleiner als die axiale Erstreckung oder Tiefe der Eintauchtaschen 28, 29, so dass über die Dichtelemente 26, 27 ein Axialspiel der Antriebswelle 3 ausgeglichen werden kann. Bevorzugt ist der Längenunterschied in Axialrichtung zwischen der axialen Tiefe der Eintauchtaschen 28, 29 und der axialen Erstreckung der Dichtelemente 26, 27 größer als ein maximales Axialspiel der Antriebswelle 3.
