Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a variable displacement pump with two connections for supplying and withdrawing a volume flow conveyed by said variable displacement pump. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a variable displacement pump.
- An electrohydraulic pressure supply is known from the German patent publication DE 199 30 648 A1 comprising an electric drive motor that is speed controllable and a variable displacement pump, with its intake volume being adjustable by an adjusting member comprising connection lines and consumer connections.
- The objective of the invention is to simplify the provision of volume flows that are adjustable independent from each other.
- The objective is attained in a variable displacement pump with two connections for supplying and withdrawing a volume flow conveyed by the variable displacement pump such that the variable displacement pump has an additional connection for providing an additional volume flow. This way, in a simple fashion the supply of two hydraulic consumers is possible with different, variable requirements for the volume flow. The hydraulic consumers may represent for example clutch parts of a duplex clutch. The variable displacement pump is preferably connected permanently and in a driving fashion to a drive device, for example to a drive device of an internal combustion engine. The volume flows provided to the connection and the additional connection are advantageously adjustable separately from each other.
- A preferred exemplary embodiment of the variable displacement pump is characterized in that the variable displacement pump can be adjusted by physical signals that are adjustable independent from each other such that the volume flows can be adjusted at two of the total of three connections independent from each other. One of the connections represents a reservoir connection, via which a hydraulic medium to be conveyed is taken in. The hydraulic medium represents for example hydraulic oil, which is also called oil, for short. The two other connections represent inputs or outputs of the variable displacement pump. The adjustment may occur two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally.
- Another preferred exemplary embodiment of the variable displacement pump is characterized in that the variable displacement pump can be adjusted by physical signals that are adjustable independent from each other such that the volume flows at two of the total of three connections can be inverted with regards to their direction of flow. The inversion of the direction of flow can occur particularly advantageously without inverting the direction of rotation of the conveyance device of the variable displacement pump. The type of adjustment signal depends on the type and/or the design of the variable displacement pump.
- Other preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention of the variable displacement pump are characterized in that the variable displacement pump is embodied as a cell pump or as a radial piston pump. In the cell pump and the radial piston pump the adjustment occurs preferably by displacing axes of blades towards a contour of a pump housing. Here, different directions of displacement determine the volume flow of respectively one pump outlet.
- Another preferred exemplary embodiment of the variable displacement pump is characterized in that the variable displacement pump is embodied as an axial piston pump. In the axial piston pump the adjustment of the volume flow results preferably from tilting the swashplate or swash-disk, which causes an axial motion of the piston of the pump. Here, two tilting directions act upon the volume flows, which are provided at the connection and the additional connection.
- In a method for operating an above-described variable displacement pump the above-stated objective is alternatively or additionally attained such that respectively one volume flow is provided to two connections. The two volume flows can be adjusted separately and independent from each other. The two volume flows that can be adjusted independent from each other may be used for operating a duplex clutch, for example.
- A preferred exemplary embodiment of the method of the invention is characterized in that the volume flows provided at the two connections are adjusted independent from each other by physical signals that can be independently adjusted. The type of adjustment signals depend here on the type of variable displacement pump used.
- Another preferred exemplary embodiment of the method is characterized in that at least one of the two volume flows provided at the two connections can be inverted with regards to its direction of flow. The inversion of the direction of flow occurs particularly advantageously without inverting the direction of rotation of the variable displacement pump.
- Another preferred exemplary embodiment of the method is characterized in that the volume flows provided at the two connections are combined to a third volume flow. This way, the functionality of the variable displacement pump according to the invention can be further increased.
- Additional advantages, features, and details of the invention are discernible from the following description, in which different exemplary embodiments are described in detail with reference to the drawings. Shown are:
-
FIG. 1 a largely simplified illustration of a variable displacement pump according to a first exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 2 a similar illustration as inFIG. 1 with additional blades displayed; -
FIG. 3 a variable displacement pump ofFIG. 2 with lines and arrows indicating the operation of the variable displacement pump; -
FIG. 4 a perspective illustration of a variable displacement pump embodied as an axial piston pump; -
FIG. 5 the variable displacement pump ofFIG. 4 in a different perspective; and -
FIG. 6 a simplified illustration of a variable displacement pump embodied as a radial piston pump. -
FIGS. 1 to 3 show in a simplified fashion a variable displacement pump 1 with a housing 3. Arotor 5 is rotationally driven in the housing 3. InFIG. 1 it is indicated by double arrows in the center of therotor 5 that saidrotor 5 is movable inside the housing 3 in order to adjust the conveyed volume or the intake volume of the variable displacement pump 1. Directions of adjustment are indicated inFIG. 1 by thelines 14 to 18, along which therotor 5 can be moved inside the housing 3. - The variable displacement pump 1 comprises at the housing 3 a
reservoir connection 10, aconnection 11, and anadditional connection 12. Thereservoir connection 10 allows the supply of hydraulic media from a hydraulic medium reservoir (not shown). - The two
connections connection 11 is connected for example to a slave cylinder of a first clutch part of a duplex clutch. Theconnection 12 is then advantageously connected to a slave cylinder of a second clutch part of the duplex clutch. - The
connections 10 to 12 shown represent areas in which theconnections 10 to 12 are provided at the housing 3. Here, theconnections 10 to 12 may be arranged in a casing area of the housing 3. However, theconnections 10 to 12 may also be arranged in a facial area and/or a face of the housing 3. - It is discernible from
FIG. 2 that the rotor comprises slots for the radially mobile arrangement of a total of eightblades 20. Theblades 20 are arranged with their radially internal ends in the rotor slots. With their radially exterior ends theblades 20 contact an interior contour of the housing 3. - An
arrow 19 inFIG. 3 indicates that therotor 5 is driven in the clockwise direction. During operation therotor 5 rotates with theblades 20 in a housing 3. An adjustment of the volume flows, provided by the variable displacement pump during operation, occurs by displacing therotor 5 in reference to the housing 3. - The displacements indicated by the double arrows in the center of the
rotor 5 shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 may be initiated from the outside at therotor 5 or the housing 3. In a rotationally drivenrotor 5 it may be beneficial to implement the relative motion for adjusting the volume flows provided by the adjustment pump 1 by displacements at the housing 3. - The drive of the
rotor 5 may for example occur by a fixed coupling to a drive train of a motor vehicle. Although the displacement for adjusting the volume flows can occur both by the housing 3 as well as therotor 5, in the following the adjustment is explained based on an adjustment of therotor 5. - Dot-
dash lines FIG. 3 indicated axes of motion along which therotor 5 can be moved in order to adjust the volume flows provided at theconnections Arrows dash line 21 represents a neutral line for the first consumer. Thearrows dash line 22 represents a neutral line for the second consumer. - When the
rotor 5 is displaced along the dot-dash line 21 the volume flow of the first consumer remains zero. Similarly, the volume flow of the second consumer remains zero when therotor 5 is displaced along the dot-dash line 22. - When the
rotor 5 is precisely in the middle, as shown inFIG. 3 , it is arranged on bothneutral lines connections rotor 5. - When the
rotor 5 is moved from theneutral line 21 upwards towards the left, the hydraulic medium or fluid is suctioned at theconnection 11 in the direction towards the variable displacement pump as indicated by themotion arrow 23. Additionally, at the same direction of rotation during a motion of therotor 5 towards the right bottom, here fluid or hydraulic medium is pushed out of the variable displacement pump at theconnection 11 as indicated by themotion arrow 24. - If the
rotor 5 is moved from theneutral line 22 upwards towards the right, the fluid is suctioned at theconnection 12 in the direction towards the variable displacement pump, as indicated by themotion arrow 25. Additionally, at an identical direction of rotation during a motion of therotor 5 downwards towards the left fluid is pushed out of the variable displacement pump at theconnection 12, as indicated by themotion arrow 26. -
FIG. 4 shows avariable displacement pump 31 in various illustrations in a perspective fashion. Thevariable displacement pump 31 is embodied as an axial piston pump and can be similarly adjusted like the above-described variable displacement pump 1. - The
axial piston pump 31 comprises ahousing 33 with adisk 34. Arevolver 35 is equivalent to the rotor (5 inFIG. 1 ) and can be driven in a rotary fashion.Pistons 36 are guided in a movable fashion in an axial direction back and forth in therevolver 35. - The
pistons 36 rest via slidingshoes 37 on aswashplate 38.Levers 39 symbolizing the axes are provided at theswashplate 38 in order to allow pivoting theswashplate 38 for adjusting the conveyed volume or the intake volume of the variable displacement pump. - A
reservoir connection 40 is provided in thedisk 34. Furthermore, aconnection 41 and anadditional connection 42 are provided in thedisk 34. - Compared to the above-described variable displacement pump 1, the volume flows of the
variable displacement pump 31 provided at theconnections swashplate 38 instead of a displacement. During operation of thevariable displacement pump 31 therevolver 35 rotates in reference to thedisk 34 with theconnections 40 to 42. Here, therevolver 35 also rotates in reference to theswashplate 38, with the rotatingrevolver 35 entraining thepiston 36. - The drive of the
revolver 35 is not shown and can occur in various fashions. The drive of therevolver 35 can occur via a shaft, for example, extending through theswashplate 38 or through thedisk 34. Alternatively thepiston 35 can be driven directly via gears embodied on therevolver 35 itself. - The incline of the
swashplate 38 can be adjusted in a three-dimensional fashion. The control during the adjustment of thevariable displacement pump 31 occurs similar to the above-described adjustment of the cell pump 1. Contrary to the cell pump 1 theaxial piston pump 31 is not deflected by tilting. - The adjusting or setting of the
variable displacement pump 31 occurs with a separate mechanical component, with its connection here being shown only schematically in the form oflevers 39. Thevariable displacement pump 31 shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 comprises threepistons 36 in therevolver 35. Contrary to the version shown, preferably more than threepistons 36 are provided in therevolver 35, for example five or sixpistons 36, guided back and forth in an axially movable fashion. -
FIG. 5 shows theaxial piston pump 31 from a slightly modified perspective with thedisk 34 being lifted off. Due to the fact that thedisk 34 comprises theconnections 40 to 42 thedisk 34 is also called a connection disk. Thesupport 45 of theswashplate 38 occurs via a spherical geometry as shown inFIG. 5 as an example. -
FIG. 6 shows avariable displacement pump 51 embodied as a radial piston pump. Theradial piston pump 51 comprises ahousing 53 in which arotor 55 is driven rotationally in the clockwise direction, as indicated by an arrow in the center of therotor 55. In therotor 55, radially at the outside a total of eightpistons 56 are guided movable back and forth. - The radially aligned
pistons 56 are each arranged with their radially interior end in therotor 55. With their respectively radial exterior end thepistons 56 contact an internal contour of thehousing 53, perhaps with sliding shoes interposed. In a similar fashion as the cell pump 1 shown inFIGS. 1 to 3 , thehousing 53 comprises areservoir connection 60, aconnection 61, and anadditional connection 62. - During operation of the
radial piston pump 51 thepistons 56 are pushed radially inwardly. The adjustment of the volume flows provided at theconnections FIGS. 1 to 3 via a translation between thehousing 53 and therotor 55. -
