Definitions

- Vane pumps of the type comprising a rotary shaft to which a rotor may be connected by means of a drive coupling are known in the prior art.
- This coupling is connected to the shaft in such a way as to avoid relative rotation. It has a ring from which two arms, that are engaged in corresponding seats afforded in the rotor, extend.

This obviously slows down the production process, while requiring successive machining operations that increase costs.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a pump that allows optimisation of costs as well as distribution of the pressures acting on the surfaces.
- a further aim is to reduce wear and maintain good centring.
- the technical problem described and the aims specified are substantially achieved by a pump comprising the technical features defined in one or more of the attached claims.

- the rotor 3 thus rotates inside the opening.
- said vanes 4 project from the rotor 3 to a greater or lesser degree. Externally, the vanes 4 are touched by the stator element.

- the annular structure 50 is removably connected to said rotor 3.
- the annular structure 50 in turn comprises at least one first projecting tab 51 that at least in one operating configuration of the pump is engaged in said first seat 31 of the rotor 3. Said projecting tab 51 is for transmitting the movement of the annular structure 50 to the rotor 3.
- the first tab 51 comprises at least one first flat surface 510.
- the first tab 51 has a mainly longitudinal direction of extension.
- the longitudinal direction of the first tab 51 extends in an axial direction.
- the first tab 51 comprises a second flat surface 511 which is positioned on the opposite side to the first flat surface 510.
- the first tab 51 has a rectangular section.
- the corner does not have any burrs, as a result of the actual cutting process.
- the two vertices 55 are at the ends of the first surface 510.

- This first surface 510 is a zone of contact with the rotor 3.
- the first surface 510 has a mainly longitudinal extension that extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the shaft 2.
- the first surface 510 has a larger radial extension component than a tangential extension component (said tangential component may even be zero).
- the radial extension is evaluated with respect to the axis of rotation of the shaft 2.
- the tangential component is evaluated tangentially to circumferences centred on the axis of rotation of the shaft 2. This orientation makes it possible to transfer torque to the rotor 3, reducing localised stresses and improving specific pressure spikes (by virtue of the increased areas of contact).
- the first surface 510 lies in a plane that also contains the axis of rotation of the shaft 2.
- the first tab 51 is a portion of sheet less than 1.5 millimetres thick.
- the first tab 51 for example, extends longitudinally over a length of between 5 and 9 millimetres.
- the first tab 51 has a width of between 2 and 4 millimetres.
- the annular structure 50 comprises a central crown 500 from which there extends an L-shaped structure 501, which defines said first tab 51.
- the annular structure 50 comprises a second projecting tab 52 which, in the operating configuration, is engaged in a second seat 32 afforded in the rotor 3.
- the first and second tabs 51, 52 are advantageously in diametrally opposite positions.
- the description provided with reference to the first tab 51 may be repeated for the second tab 52.
- the description provided with reference to the first seat 31 may be repeated for the second seat 32.
- the description provided with reference to the first tab 51 and the interaction thereof with the first seat 31 may be repeated for the second tab 52 and the interaction thereof with the second seat 32.

- the rotor 3 preferably comprises a housing 30 in which, in said operating configuration, said central crown 500 is completely inserted.
- the rotor 3 comprises an axial portion 56 in correspondence with which the radial play with the shaft 2 is minimal.
- the first tab 51 extends internally inside the first seat 31 only (or at least for 90%) in correspondence with said axial portion 56 in correspondence with which the radial play is minimal.
- the same may be said of the second tab 52 which extends inside the second seat 32. The purpose of these arrangements is to ensure that the transmission of torque to the rotor 3 by the means 5 (the coupling) takes place in a zone where the rotor 3 is well guided by the shaft 2 so as to prevent small errors of shape leading to misalignments.
- the present invention also relates to a method for realising a pump.
- said pump comprises one or more of the features described above.
- the method comprises the step of realising the annular structure 50.
- This advantageously takes place in a progressive stamping die, which works on a "sheet strip", in which a series of operations take place in succession. When the part leaves the progressive stamping die, no machining is performed to remove additional shavings from the annular structure 50. This renders production more rapid and less costly.
- the step of realising the annular structure 50 comprises the step of shaping a sheet (which is conveniently at least initially flat) by cutting and drawing to form a central crown 500 from which at least one lateral arm 501 extends. At least in this step, the central crown 500 advantageously remains connected to the surrounding sheet by means of at least one connection point which, in this step, is not cut (this happens only later).
- the drawing determines a thickening of the central crown 500 whose thickness becomes greater than that of the initial sheet. This facilitates transmission of the torque from the shaft 2.
- the step of realising the annular structure 50 comprises bending the lateral arm 501 to define the first tab 51. This involves bending the arm 501 by an angle of between 70° and 110°, preferably 90°.
- the longitudinal extension of the lateral arm 501 has two curves (see figure 6 ):
- the method further comprises the step of inserting the shaft 2 into the hole 59 of said annular structure 50. This takes place after the annular structure 50 is complete.
- the shaft 2 and the annular structure 50 are normally connected by interference.
- the method further comprises the step of inserting the shaft 2 into the rotor 3 (connecting the annular structure 50 and the rotor 3). This comprises the step of inserting the first tab 51 into the first seat 31 of the rotor 3 (and, advantageously, the second tab 52 is also inserted into the second seat 32).
- the present invention affords significant advantages.
- a further significant advantage relates to the good centring between the rotor 3 and the shaft 2 thanks to coupling with reduced play which allows sufficient dynamic oscillation to make up for the errors in orthogonality from production, while limiting wear; this is also thanks to the abovementioned configuration of the coupling 5.

- According to a first structural solution, said arms have a substantially circular cross section and a conical longitudinal section, due to deformation by stamping. According to a second structural solution, the side wall of each of the arms has two opposite surfaces that are reciprocally domed and intended to come into contact with the flat surfaces of the corresponding rotor seats.
- Said couplings are obtained by precision casting and the piece thus obtained is subjected to several machining operations by machine tools (typically on the inside of the hole of the annular coupling).

- A further aim is to reduce wear and maintain good centring. The technical problem described and the aims specified are substantially achieved by a pump comprising the technical features defined in one or more of the attached claims.
- Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer from the non-limiting description provided, for information, of a pump as shown in the attached drawings, in which:
-

figure 2 shows a perspective view of a part of the sub-assembly of the pump offigure 1 ; -
figures 3, 4 and5 show, respectively, a perspective view, a front view and a view in section of a rotor with a vane, which is a component of the solution shown infigure 1 ; -
figure 6 shows a further component of the solution shown infigure 1 . - The present invention relates to a rotary volumetric pump, preferably a vane pump (it may also possibly be a gear pump or other type of pump). Typically, the pump is a dry pump. Conveniently, it is a vacuum pump. For example, it may be used in vehicle braking systems. In the preferred solution, the pump is driven by an electric motor. The pump comprises:
- a
shaft 2 suitable for rotating about an axis of rotation; - a
rotor 3. Therotor 3 is a member that allows movement of the working fluid processed by the pump. Therotor 3 thus comes into contact with the working fluid. - In the preferred solution in which the pump is a vane pump, the
rotor 3 houses thevanes 4 at least partially. - In this regard, the
rotor 3 hascavities 300 for housing thevanes 4. Each of saidcavities 300 extends between an inner radial position and an outer radial position. Advantageously, saidcavities 300 are inclined with respect to a purely radial direction. Thecavities 300 preferably pass completely through therotor 3 in the axial direction. -
Figure 4 shows a single one of saidvanes 4, although eachcavity 300 houses one. - Advantageously, the
rotor 3 is made of carbon-graphite. Conveniently, therotor 3 is a discoidal element. Therotor 3 is preferably coaxial with theshaft 2. - The pump comprises a stator element, not shown in the attached figures, which defines an opening in which the
rotor 3 is housed. Therotor 3 thus rotates inside the opening. Depending on the position of each, said vanes 4 project from therotor 3 to a greater or lesser degree. Externally, thevanes 4 are touched by the stator element. - The pump further comprises means 5 for transmitting torque from the
shaft 2 to therotor 3. In the solution shown infigures 1, 2 and6 , the transmission means 5 comprise/coincide with a transmission coupling. - The
rotor 3 comprises afirst seat 31. Thefirst seat 31 comprises a side wall 310 (seefigure 3 ). Theside wall 310 comprises a first flat portion 311 (shown infigure 4 ). Theside wall 310 advantageously also comprises a secondflat portion 312, opposite the firstflat portion 311, and advantageously two connection zones located at opposite ends of thefirst seat 31. Thefirst seat 31 advantageously comprises anend wall 313. Thefirst portion 311 lies in a first plane, and thesecond portion 312 lies in a second plane parallel to the first plane. - The transmission means 5 comprise an
annular structure 50. Theannular structure 50 is preferably obtained from a sheet of stainless steel. It is applied to theshaft 2. In particular, theshaft 2 is engaged in (and through) ahole 59 defined by theannular structure 50. Conveniently, theshaft 2 and theannular structure 50 are coupled by interference. The torque is thus transmitted by theshaft 2 to theannular structure 50, which in turn transmits the torque to therotor 3. Theannular structure 50 is removably connected to saidrotor 3. Theannular structure 50 in turn comprises at least onefirst projecting tab 51 that at least in one operating configuration of the pump is engaged in saidfirst seat 31 of therotor 3. Said projectingtab 51 is for transmitting the movement of theannular structure 50 to therotor 3. - The
first tab 51 comprises at least one firstflat surface 510. Thefirst tab 51 has a mainly longitudinal direction of extension. The longitudinal direction of thefirst tab 51 extends in an axial direction. Thefirst tab 51 comprises a secondflat surface 511 which is positioned on the opposite side to the firstflat surface 510. - In a section orthogonal to said main direction of extension, the
first tab 51 has a rectangular section. At the twovertices 55 of said orthogonal section (on the side opposite that on which there may be cutting burrs), the corner does not have any burrs, as a result of the actual cutting process. Conveniently, in this section, the twovertices 55 are at the ends of thefirst surface 510. - In the operating configuration, the first
flat surface 510 is a surface that pushes therotor 3 and is in contact with said firstflat portion 311 ofsaid wall 310 of thefirst seat 31. The direction of rotation of theshaft 2 is such as to bring thefirst surface 510 to press against thefirst portion 311. Conveniently, the secondflat surface 511, in the operating configuration, faces thesecond portion 312 of theside wall 310. - This
first surface 510 is a zone of contact with therotor 3. Thefirst surface 510 has a mainly longitudinal extension that extends parallel to the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. - Similarly, the
first surface 510 has a larger radial extension component than a tangential extension component (said tangential component may even be zero). The radial extension is evaluated with respect to the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. The tangential component is evaluated tangentially to circumferences centred on the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. This orientation makes it possible to transfer torque to therotor 3, reducing localised stresses and improving specific pressure spikes (by virtue of the increased areas of contact). - Conveniently, the
first surface 510 lies in a plane that also contains the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. - In the preferred solution, the
first tab 51 is a portion of sheet less than 1.5 millimetres thick. Thefirst tab 51, for example, extends longitudinally over a length of between 5 and 9 millimetres. Preferably, thefirst tab 51 has a width of between 2 and 4 millimetres. - The
annular structure 50 comprises acentral crown 500 from which there extends an L-shapedstructure 501, which defines saidfirst tab 51. - Conveniently, the
annular structure 50 comprises a second projectingtab 52 which, in the operating configuration, is engaged in asecond seat 32 afforded in therotor 3. The first andsecond tabs - The description provided with reference to the
first tab 51 may be repeated for thesecond tab 52. Likewise, the description provided with reference to thefirst seat 31 may be repeated for thesecond seat 32. In particular, the description provided with reference to thefirst tab 51 and the interaction thereof with thefirst seat 31 may be repeated for thesecond tab 52 and the interaction thereof with thesecond seat 32. For example, thesecond tab 52 may comprise athrust surface 520. Said thrustsurface 520 is flat. It is contained entirely in the plane containing thefirst surface 510 and the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. - There may also be further tabs projecting from the
crown 500, engaged in corresponding seats afforded in therotor 3. - The
rotor 3 preferably comprises ahousing 30 in which, in said operating configuration, saidcentral crown 500 is completely inserted. Saidfirst seat 31, in which thefirst tab 51 is engaged, extends from saidhousing 30, parallel to the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. - Conveniently, the
rotor 3 comprises anaxial portion 56 in correspondence with which the radial play with theshaft 2 is minimal. Thefirst tab 51 extends internally inside thefirst seat 31 only (or at least for 90%) in correspondence with saidaxial portion 56 in correspondence with which the radial play is minimal. The same may be said of thesecond tab 52 which extends inside thesecond seat 32. The purpose of these arrangements is to ensure that the transmission of torque to therotor 3 by the means 5 (the coupling) takes place in a zone where therotor 3 is well guided by theshaft 2 so as to prevent small errors of shape leading to misalignments. - The present invention also relates to a method for realising a pump. Conveniently, said pump comprises one or more of the features described above.
- The method comprises the step of realising the
annular structure 50. This advantageously takes place in a progressive stamping die, which works on a "sheet strip", in which a series of operations take place in succession. When the part leaves the progressive stamping die, no machining is performed to remove additional shavings from theannular structure 50. This renders production more rapid and less costly. The step of realising theannular structure 50 comprises the step of shaping a sheet (which is conveniently at least initially flat) by cutting and drawing to form acentral crown 500 from which at least onelateral arm 501 extends. At least in this step, thecentral crown 500 advantageously remains connected to the surrounding sheet by means of at least one connection point which, in this step, is not cut (this happens only later). The drawing determines a thickening of thecentral crown 500 whose thickness becomes greater than that of the initial sheet. This facilitates transmission of the torque from theshaft 2. - The step of realising the
annular structure 50 comprises bending thelateral arm 501 to define thefirst tab 51. This involves bending thearm 501 by an angle of between 70° and 110°, preferably 90°. - Conveniently, the longitudinal extension of the
lateral arm 501 has two curves (seefigure 6 ): - a
first curve 504 indicating the passage from a radial extension to a substantially tangential extension; - a
second curve 505 that determines the passage from a substantially tangential extension to an extension parallel to the axis of rotation of theshaft 2. Conveniently, the step of realising theannular structure 50 further comprises the step of bending (typically by 90°) the at least oneadditional arm 502 that extends from thecentral crown 500. This additional arm defines thesecond tab 52. Detachment from the "sheet strip" takes place in a successive realisation step. - The method further comprises the step of inserting the
shaft 2 into thehole 59 of saidannular structure 50. This takes place after theannular structure 50 is complete. Theshaft 2 and theannular structure 50 are normally connected by interference. - The method further comprises the step of inserting the
shaft 2 into the rotor 3 (connecting theannular structure 50 and the rotor 3). This comprises the step of inserting thefirst tab 51 into thefirst seat 31 of the rotor 3 (and, advantageously, thesecond tab 52 is also inserted into the second seat 32). - The present invention affords significant advantages.
- First of all, it makes it possible to limit production costs by realising the coupling by stamping sheet metal without additional machining. Moreover, there are improved areas of contact with the consequent reduction in specific pressures (which are considerable especially in the case in which the rotor is made of carbon-graphite, a material which has optimal temperature resistance but mechanical properties that are inferior to steel).
- A further significant advantage relates to the good centring between the
rotor 3 and theshaft 2 thanks to coupling with reduced play which allows sufficient dynamic oscillation to make up for the errors in orthogonality from production, while limiting wear; this is also thanks to the abovementioned configuration of thecoupling 5. - Moreover, all the details may be substituted by other technically equivalent elements. In practice, all the materials used, and the dimensions, may be whatever is required.
