Definitions
- the present invention relates to a screw spindle pump, a fuel delivery unit comprising such a screw spindle pump and a fuel delivery unit comprising such a fuel delivery unit for use in vehicles, in particular in passenger cars and/or commercial vehicles.
- Screw spindle pumps - also called screw pumps - are positive displacement pumps whose displacers have the shape of a spindle screw.
- Two counter-rotating screw spindles which are designed with a thread-shaped profile, engage one another and displace a conveying medium, which can be a fuel - for example gasoline or diesel fuel - for an internal combustion engine of a passenger car and/or a commercial vehicle.
- the combination of the spindle screws and a pump housing in which the screw spindles are arranged and guided is also referred to as a pump stage.
- the two screw spindles, in conjunction with the pump housing form delivery chambers for the pumped medium. As a result of a rotation of the screw spindles, these delivery chambers move from a suction side or inlet side to a pressure side or outlet side of the pump or pump stage and thus convey the sucked-in delivery medium.
- pump or pump stage is understood to mean one and the same object.
- Such pumps are used, for example, in fuel delivery units or fuel pumps of vehicles, in particular passenger cars and/or commercial vehicles.
- fuel delivery unit or fuel pump is one and the same To understand the subject matter, which, in addition to a pump or pump stage, also includes an electric motor as a drive.
- the screw spindles Due to the pressure conditions that arise in the pump during operation, the screw spindles experience an axial displacement relative to the pump housing as well as an inclination or entanglement relative to each other and relative to the pump housing.
- This flat stop surface belongs to a cuboid insert element made of metal that acts as a stop element and is preferably arranged in a pump cover. This insert element absorbs any operational axial displacement of the screws.
- the 'driving' screw can be supported against the pump housing via a coupling, whereas the "driven” or “driven” screw can be supported on the pressure side via a pin molded onto the pump housing.
- these supports are generally understood to mean emergency supports.
- the actual support of the two screw spindles takes place on the suction side at an axial stop provided for this purpose on the housing side.
- the flat stop surface provided on the suction side only ensures that the operational axial displacement of the screws is absorbed. However, the inclination or interlocking of the screws remains unaffected.
- the publication EP 0 323 834 A2 discloses a screw pump driven by an electric motor.
- the pump has a work spindle which is surrounded by a rotor of the electric motor.
- the rotor is supported at one end by a connection to the drive spindle.
- the publication DE 10 2014 102 390 B3 discloses a screw spindle pump with a drive spindle and a running spindle, a free end of the drive spindle and an end portion of the running spindle being supported on a plate arranged in the housing of the screw spindle pump.
- the plate has two oppositely inclined surfaces forming a V-shape.
- An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved pump of the type described above which also addresses the skewing or entanglement of the screws.
- the two screw spindles form delivery chambers, at least in connection with the pump housing, which move from a suction side or inlet side to a pressure side or outlet side of the pump as a result of a rotation of the screw spindles. Or to put it another way, the delivery chambers move as a result of rotation of the screw spindles towards the pressure side of the pump.
- screw spindles could also form the delivery chambers in conjunction with a pump housing, a pump cover and possibly with an additional element or insert element, whereby this additional element can be arranged within the pump housing and/or the pump cover.
- the pump housing has a first stop for the drive spindle and a second stop for the running spindle. It is proposed that at least one of the two stops be set at an angle with respect to a first plane of the pump in order to counteract an operational inclination or entanglement of the two spindles.

- the first stop is set at a first angle and the second stop is set at a second angle with respect to the first plane in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement.
- the first angle can be opposite to the second angle.
- the two angles can be identical in magnitude.
- At least one of the two stops is additionally set at an angle with respect to a second plane of the pump, which is orthogonal to the first plane of the pump, in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement of the two spindles in space.
- the first stop is additionally set at a third angle and the second stop is set at a fourth angle with respect to the second plane in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement.

In principle, the shape of such shaped elements can be designed in a very diverse manner and can include both even and odd shapes.
- the insert can also be made of a ceramic, a metal or a plastic.

- the two inserts 16, 18 with the associated stops are overmolded during the injection molding production of the pump cover 8. However, before they are overmolded, they undergo the spatial orientation described above (cf. angles ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 ).

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schraubenspindelpumpe, ein eine solche Schraubenspindelpumpe umfassendes Kraftstoffförderaggregat sowie eine ein solches Kraftstoffförderaggregat umfassende Kraftstofffördereinheit zur Verwendung in Fahrzeugen, insbesondere in Personenkraftwagen und/oder Nutzfahrzeugen.The present invention relates to a screw spindle pump, a fuel delivery unit comprising such a screw spindle pump and a fuel delivery unit comprising such a fuel delivery unit for use in vehicles, in particular in passenger cars and/or commercial vehicles.
Schraubenspindelpumpen - auch Schraubenpumpen genannt - sind Verdrängerpumpen, deren Verdränger die Form einer Spindelschraube aufweisen. Zwei gegenläufige Schraubenspindeln, welche mit einer gewindeförmigen Profilierung ausgebildet sind, greifen dabei ineinander und verdrängen ein Fördermedium, bei dem es sich etwa um einen Kraftstoff - z.B. Benzin- oder Dieselkraftstoff - für eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Personenkraftwagens und/oder eines Nutzfahrzeugs handeln kann. Die Kombination aus den Spindelschrauben und einem Pumpengehäuse, in dem die Schraubenspindeln angeordnet und geführt sind, bezeichnet man auch als Pumpenstufe. Die beiden Schraubenspindeln bilden in Verbindung mit dem Pumpengehäuse Förderkammern für das Fördermedium. Infolge einer Drehung der Schraubenspindeln wandern diese Förderkammern von einer Saugseite bzw. Einlassseite zu einer Druckseite bzw. Auslassseite der Pumpe bzw. Pumpenstufe und befördern somit das angesaugte Fördermedium.Screw spindle pumps - also called screw pumps - are positive displacement pumps whose displacers have the shape of a spindle screw. Two counter-rotating screw spindles, which are designed with a thread-shaped profile, engage one another and displace a conveying medium, which can be a fuel - for example gasoline or diesel fuel - for an internal combustion engine of a passenger car and/or a commercial vehicle. The combination of the spindle screws and a pump housing in which the screw spindles are arranged and guided is also referred to as a pump stage. The two screw spindles, in conjunction with the pump housing, form delivery chambers for the pumped medium. As a result of a rotation of the screw spindles, these delivery chambers move from a suction side or inlet side to a pressure side or outlet side of the pump or pump stage and thus convey the sucked-in delivery medium.
Im Rahmen dieser Offenbarung ist unter dem Begriff Pumpe bzw. Pumpenstufe ein und derselbe Gegenstand zu verstehen.In the context of this disclosure, the term pump or pump stage is understood to mean one and the same object.
Derartige Pumpen finden beispielsweise Anwendung in Kraftstoffförderaggregaten bzw. Kraftstoffpumpen von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere von Personenkraftwagen und/oder Nutzfahrzeugen. Im Rahmen dieser Offenbarung ist unter dem Begriff Kraftstoffförderaggregat bzw. Kraftstoffpumpe ein und derselbe Gegenstand zu verstehen, der neben einer Pumpe bzw. Pumpenstufe auch einen Elektromotor als Antrieb umfasst.Such pumps are used, for example, in fuel delivery units or fuel pumps of vehicles, in particular passenger cars and/or commercial vehicles. In the context of this disclosure, the term fuel delivery unit or fuel pump is one and the same To understand the subject matter, which, in addition to a pump or pump stage, also includes an electric motor as a drive.
Durch die sich im Betrieb in der Pumpe einstellenden Druckzustände erfahren die Schraubenspindeln eine axiale Verlagerung relativ zum Pumpengehäuse sowie eine Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung relativ zueinander sowie relativ zum Pumpengehäuse.Due to the pressure conditions that arise in the pump during operation, the screw spindles experience an axial displacement relative to the pump housing as well as an inclination or entanglement relative to each other and relative to the pump housing.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Pumpen der zuvor beschriebenen Art bekannt, die saugseitig mit einer planen Anschlagsfläche versehen sind, gegen welche die Schraubenspindeln anschlagen und sich dabei abstützten. Diese plane Anschlagsfläche gehört dabei einem als Anschlagselement fungierenden quaderförmigen Einsatzelement aus Metall an, welches bevorzugt in einem Pumpendeckel angeordnet ist. Durch dieses Einsatzelement wird eine betriebsbedingt axiale Verlagerung der Schrauben abgefangen.Pumps of the type described above are known from the prior art, which are provided on the suction side with a flat stop surface against which the screw spindles strike and are thereby supported. This flat stop surface belongs to a cuboid insert element made of metal that acts as a stop element and is preferably arranged in a pump cover. This insert element absorbs any operational axial displacement of the screws.
Druckseitig kann sich die ' 'treibende' ' Schraube dabei über eine Kupplung gegen das Pumpengehäuse abstützen, wohingegen sich die "angetriebene" bzw. "getriebene" Schraube druckseitig über einen am Pumpengehäuse angespritzten Zapfen abstützten kann. Zur Klarstellung sei dabei erwähnt, dass man unter diesen Abstützungen in aller Regel jeweils eine Notabstützung versteht. Die eigentliche Abstützung der beiden Schraubenspindeln erfolgt betriebsbedingt saugseitig an einem gehäuseseitig dafür vorgesehenen axialen Anschlag.On the pressure side, the 'driving' screw can be supported against the pump housing via a coupling, whereas the "driven" or "driven" screw can be supported on the pressure side via a pin molded onto the pump housing. To clarify, it should be mentioned that these supports are generally understood to mean emergency supports. For operational reasons, the actual support of the two screw spindles takes place on the suction side at an axial stop provided for this purpose on the housing side.
Die saugseitig vorgesehene plane Anschlagsfläche gewährleistet dabei lediglich, dass die betriebsbedingt axiale Verlagerung der Schrauben abgefangen wird. Die Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung der Schrauben hingegen bleibt davon allerdings unbeeinflusst.The flat stop surface provided on the suction side only ensures that the operational axial displacement of the screws is absorbed. However, the inclination or interlocking of the screws remains unaffected.

Eine Aufgabe einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine verbesserte Pumpe der zuvor beschriebenen Art bereitzustellen, welche auch der Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung der Schrauben begegnet.An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an improved pump of the type described above which also addresses the skewing or entanglement of the screws.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Anspruch 1 gelöst, der eine Schraubenspindelpumpe unter Schutz stellt. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This task is solved by claim 1, which protects a screw pump. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.
Es wird eine Schraubenspindelpumpenstufe vorgeschlagen, umfassend
- mindestens zwei Schraubenspindeln, welche eine Antriebsspindel und eine zur Antriebsspindel gegenläufige Laufspindel umfassen, und
- ein Pumpengehäuse zur Aufnahme der beiden Schraubenspindeln.
- at least two screw spindles, which include a drive spindle and a running spindle rotating in the opposite direction to the drive spindle, and
- a pump housing to accommodate the two screw spindles.
Die beiden Schraubenspindeln bilden dabei zumindest in Verbindung mit dem Pumpengehäuse Förderkammern, welche sich infolge einer Drehung der Schraubenspindeln von einer Saugseite bzw. Einlassseite zu einer Druckseite bzw. Auslassseite der Pumpe bewegen. Oder anders ausgedrückt, die Förderkammern bewegen sich infolge einer Drehung der Schraubenspindeln in Richtung der Druckseite der Pumpe.The two screw spindles form delivery chambers, at least in connection with the pump housing, which move from a suction side or inlet side to a pressure side or outlet side of the pump as a result of a rotation of the screw spindles. Or to put it another way, the delivery chambers move as a result of rotation of the screw spindles towards the pressure side of the pump.
Grundsätzlich könnten solche Schraubenspindeln die Förderkammern auch in Verbindung mit einem Pumpengehäuse, einem Pumpendeckel und ggf. mit einem zusätzlichen Element bzw. Einsatzelement bilden, wobei dieses zusätzliche Element innerhalb des Pumpengehäuses und/oder des Pumpendeckels angeordnet sein kann.In principle, such screw spindles could also form the delivery chambers in conjunction with a pump housing, a pump cover and possibly with an additional element or insert element, whereby this additional element can be arranged within the pump housing and/or the pump cover.
Das Pumpengehäuse weist dabei einen ersten Anschlag für die Antriebsspindel und einen zweiten Anschlag für die Laufspindel auf. Dabei wird vorgeschlagen, dass zumindest einer der beiden Anschläge bezüglich einer ersten Ebene der Pumpe um einen Winkel angestellt ist, um einer betriebsbedingten Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung der beiden Spindeln entgegenzuwirken.The pump housing has a first stop for the drive spindle and a second stop for the running spindle. It is proposed that at least one of the two stops be set at an angle with respect to a first plane of the pump in order to counteract an operational inclination or entanglement of the two spindles.
Unter einer Winkelanstellung eines Anschlags ist dabei im Sinne dieser Offenbarung eine Neigung bzw. Verschwenkung des Anschlages relativ zu einer Bezugsebene zu verstehen, wobei unter der Bezugsebene entweder eine durch eine Längsrichtung bzw. Längsachse der Pumpe und eine orthogonal dazu liegende Querrichtung bzw. Querachse der Pumpe aufgespannte Ebene zu verstehen ist oder aber eine durch die Längsrichtung bzw. Längsachse der Pumpe in Verbindung mit einer weiteren orthogonal dazu liegenden Querrichtung bzw. Querachse der Pumpe aufgespannte Ebene.For the purposes of this disclosure, an angular adjustment of a stop is to be understood as an inclination or pivoting of the stop relative to a reference plane, the reference plane being either a longitudinal direction or longitudinal axis of the pump and a transverse direction or transverse axis of the pump lying orthogonally thereto spanned plane is to be understood or a plane spanned by the longitudinal direction or longitudinal axis of the pump in conjunction with a further transverse direction or transverse axis of the pump lying orthogonally thereto.
Dadurch lässt sich der Spalt zwischen den Schrauben entlang des miteinander kämmenden Eingriffs verringern, so dass sich auch die "innere" Leckage der Pumpe bzw. Pumpenstufe verringert. Dies wiederum hat zur Folge, dass die Reibung in den Bereichen des Pumpengehäuses, in denen diese Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung abgefangen wird, verringert wird. Folglich bedingt dies auch eine Verringerung des Drehmomentbedarfs der Pumpe. Im Ergebnis wird somit der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe in zweifacher Weise verbessert.This allows the gap between the screws along the meshing engagement to be reduced, so that the "internal" leakage of the pump or pump stage is also reduced. This in turn has the consequence that the friction is reduced in the areas of the pump housing in which this inclination or entanglement is absorbed. Consequently, this also requires a reduction in the torque requirement of the pump. As a result, the efficiency of the pump is improved in two ways.
Nach einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung sind der erste Anschlag um einen ersten Winkel und der zweite Anschlag um einen zweiten Winkel bezüglich der ersten Ebene angestellt, um der Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung entgegenzuwirken. Dabei kann der erste Winkel entgegengesetzt liegend zum zweiten Winkel sein. Ferner können die beiden Winkel betragsmäßig identisch sein.According to one aspect of the present invention, the first stop is set at a first angle and the second stop is set at a second angle with respect to the first plane in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement. The first angle can be opposite to the second angle. Furthermore, the two angles can be identical in magnitude.
Dadurch lässt sich die besagte "innere "' Leckage weiter verringern und der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe weiter verbessern.This allows the said “internal” leakage to be further reduced and the efficiency of the pump to be further improved.
Nach einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist zusätzlich zumindest einer der beiden Anschläge bezüglich einer zweiten Ebene der Pumpe, die orthogonal zur ersten Ebene der Pumpe ist, um einen Winkel angestellt, um der Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung der beiden Spindeln im Raum entgegenzuwirken.According to a further aspect of the present invention, at least one of the two stops is additionally set at an angle with respect to a second plane of the pump, which is orthogonal to the first plane of the pump, in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement of the two spindles in space.
Dadurch lässt sich die besagte "innere "' Leckage weiter verringern und der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe weiter verbessern.This allows the said “internal” leakage to be further reduced and the efficiency of the pump to be further improved.
Nach einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung sind zusätzlich der erste Anschlag um einen dritten Winkel und der zweite Anschlag um einen vierten Winkel bezüglich der zweiten Ebene angestellt, um der Schrägstellung bzw. Verschränkung entgegenzuwirken. Dabei kann der dritte Winkel entgegen gesetzt liegend zum vierten Winkel sein. Ferner können die beiden Winkel betragsmäßig identisch sein.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the first stop is additionally set at a third angle and the second stop is set at a fourth angle with respect to the second plane in order to counteract the inclination or entanglement. The third angle can be opposite to the fourth angle. Furthermore, the two angles can be identical in magnitude.

Das Einsatzmittel kann dabei beispielsweise quaderförmig, prismenförmig oder rondenförmig ausgebildet sein. Bezüglich der Formgebung des Einsatzmittels sind aber auch vielfältige weitere Variationen denkbar. Unter einem rondenförmigen Einsatzmittel ist dabei ein im Wesentlichen zylinderförmiger Körper bzw. Zylinder zu verstehen, dessen Höhe im Verhältnis zu seiner Breite bzw. zu seinem Durchmesser geringer ausfällt.The insert can, for example, be cuboid-shaped, prism-shaped or round-shaped. However, many other variations are also conceivable with regard to the shape of the input material. A round-shaped insert means a substantially cylindrical body or cylinder, the height of which is smaller in relation to its width or diameter.
Das Einsatzmittel ist mit einem umlaufenden Absatz zur axialen Festlegung gegenüber dem Pumpengehäuse versehen. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu ist das Einsatzmittel ferner mit Formelementen zur tangentialen Festlegung gegenüber dem Pumpengehäuse versehen sein. Diese Formelemente sind dabei über den Umfang des Einsatzmittels angeordnet, etwa in der Gestalt von geraden Zahnflanken. Grundsätzlich ist die Formgebung in Bezug auf derartige Formelemente sehr vielfältig gestaltbar und kann sowohl gerade als auch ungerade Formen umfassen.The insert is provided with a circumferential shoulder for axial fixation in relation to the pump housing. Additionally or alternatively, the insert is also provided with shaped elements for tangential fixation relative to the pump housing. These shaped elements are arranged over the circumference of the insert, for example in the form of straight tooth flanks. In principle, the shape of such shaped elements can be designed in a very diverse manner and can include both even and odd shapes.
Das Einsatzmittel kann dabei ferner aus einer Keramik, einem Metall oder einem Kunststoff ausgebildet sein. Eine Keramik oder ein Metall zeichnen sich dabei besonders durch ihre Härte aus, durch die sich bekanntlich eine Reibung reduzieren und eine Verschleißfestigkeit begünstigen lässt.The insert can also be made of a ceramic, a metal or a plastic. A ceramic or a metal is particularly characterized by its hardness, which is known to reduce friction and promote wear resistance.
Nach einem weiteren Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung kann das Pumpengehäuse mit einem Pumpendeckel ergänzt werden, in welchem der erste Anschlag und der zweite Anschlag angeordnet sind. Dabei kann das Einsatzmittel bzw. -element in dem Pumpendeckel angeordnet sein. Der Pumpendeckel kann dabei als ein zum Pumpengehäuse gehörendes Teil zur Aufnahme der Schraubenspindeln angesehen werden.According to a further aspect of the present invention, the pump housing can be supplemented with a pump cover in which the first stop and the second stop are arranged. The input means or element can be arranged in the pump cover. The pump cover can be viewed as a part belonging to the pump housing for receiving the screw spindles.
Das Pumpengehäuse und/oder der Pumpendeckel kann/können dabei als Spritzgussteil/Spritzgussteile ausgebildet sein.The pump housing and/or the pump cover can/can be designed as an injection molded part/parts.
Ferner kann das Einsatzmittel bzw. -element eine Aufnahme für ein Ausrichtungsmittel, vorzugsweise in der Gestalt eines Andruckstiftes aufweisen, mit dem das Einsatzmittel bzw. -element zur Umspritzung ausrichtbar ist, um eine Winkelanstellung bezüglich der Längsrichtung und/oder der Querrichtung der Pumpe einzustellen.Furthermore, the insert means or element can have a receptacle for an alignment means, preferably in the form of a pressure pin, with which the insert means or element can be aligned for encapsulation in order to set an angular position with respect to the longitudinal direction and/or the transverse direction of the pump.
