Definitions
- the invention relates to a liquid pump having an electric motor, a pump assembly, which is driven by the electric motor, and a housing in which the electric motor and the pump assembly are arranged.
- the liquid pump is provided to be used in a drive train of a motor vehicle.
- a stream of cooling oil can be provided by the liquid pump, with which stream of cooling oil various components in a transmission or a clutch can be cooled or also lubricated.
- the liquid pump is used for providing a stream of hydraulic oil, which is converted in an actuator into an actuating force and an actuating stroke.
- a clutch can be shifted with the stream of hydraulic oil provided.
- the pump can also be used to deliver other liquids, for example a coolant for battery cooling, transmission oil, lubricating oil, cooling oil, engine oil, transformer oil, insulating oil, etc.
- Such liquid pumps are known in various forms. They can be in the form of separate units, which are then connected via lines to the component to be supplied, or they can also be mounted directly on another component, for example a transmission housing.
- the housing is in multi-part form, wherein in most cases one housing part is used for the pump assembly and one housing part is used for the electric motor.
- the object of the invention is to provide a liquid pump in which the forces that occur are absorbed optimally and which is distinguished by short tolerance chains.
- the housing is in the form of a one-piece, injection-moulded pot having a base and side walls, wherein the pump assembly bears against the base and the electric motor is arranged on the open side of the housing remote from the base.
- the invention is based on the fundamental idea of completely eliminating any step of mounting different housing parts on one another by using a housing that is injection moulded in one piece, which housing receives the components of the liquid pump.
- this results in very simple mounting with short tolerance chains, since all the components are mounted from one side of the housing and bear against corresponding structures of the housing.
- account does not have to be taken of any tolerances that can occur on mounting of different housing parts on one another.
- the forces that occur during operation of the liquid pump are absorbed and transmitted uniformly within the housing.
- an intake opening and/or a discharge opening of the liquid pump are arranged in the base of the housing.
- the openings can be in the form of passages through the base of the housing, so that a connection to another component is obtained directly when the liquid pump is mounted with its base against the other component.
- Type-specific connection interfaces can be implemented with a low outlay by arranging the intake opening and the discharge opening differently in the base but otherwise producing the housing in a standardized manner.
- a sealing structure in particular a sealing groove or a cylindrical surface, is preferably associated with the opening in the base of the housing.
- a sealing ring can be received in the sealing groove in order to achieve axial sealing, that is to say sealing in which the contact forces that occur are applied in the axial direction.
- the pump assembly has a pump housing which bears against the base.
- the inner surface of the base thereby serves as a reference plane on mounting of the liquid pump, and an axial play of a pump rotor within the pump housing is determined solely on the basis of the dimensions of the pump housing and of the rotor; the housing has no influence.
- the pump housing is preferably centred in the housing of the liquid pump, so that no tolerance chains occur in the radial direction either.
- the pump housing is fixedly connected, in particular welded or screwed, to the housing. In this manner, the axial forces that occur during operation of the liquid pump are dissipated directly into the housing.
- a separating pot which extends between a stator and a rotor of the electric motor and separates a hydraulic side, such as hydraulic oil side of the liquid pump from a dry side, such as electronics side.
- the separating pot ensures that no hydraulic oil can escape from the liquid pump to the electronics side.
- the separating pot has a flange which is connected to the housing.
- the separating pot is thus in the form of a component which is separate from the housing, so that it can be configured with a particularly small wall thickness.
- the separating pot can in particular be in the form of a thin-walled injection-moulded part composed of plastic.
- the wall thickness is in the range from 0.2 to 0.4 mm, in particular in the order of 0.3 mm. This is advantageous with regard to high efficiency, since the wall thickness of the separating pot increases the air gap between the stator and the rotor. The smaller the wall thickness of the separating pot, the smaller the air gap can be.
- the flange is fixedly connected, in particular welded, adhesively bonded, bolted or riveted, to the housing, so that reliable sealing is ensured. Furthermore, the forces that occur during operation are absorbed directly.
- the flange thereby bears against the pump housing, so that it serves at the same time to apply the pump housing to the base.
- the separating pot is formed by a pipe socket which is formed in one piece with the housing, and a separating cover which is sealingly connected to the end face of the pipe socket.
- This form can also be injection moulded with very high precision and a small wall thickness in the region of the pipe socket.
- a printed circuit board is arranged on the open side of the housing remote from the base, which printed circuit board is encapsulated by potting compound in the housing together with the stator.
- the potting compound supports the separating pot from outside, so that the hydraulic forces that occur during operation can readily be absorbed.
- the potting compound has good heat-conducting properties, so that the thermal losses that occur are readily dissipated.
- Screw openings can be integrated into the base of the housing in order to mount the liquid pump on another component and generate the contact forces that are desirable with regard to reliable sealing directly in the region of the base of the housing.
- the screw openings can also be provided at a different location in the housing, that is to say, for example, spaced apart from the base in the axial direction by half the housing or also on the open side of the housing.
- the pump assembly of the liquid pump can be suitably designed in dependence on the particular requirements (in particular desired delivery pressure and desired delivery volume).
- gear ring pumps in particular gerotor pumps, are particularly suitable.
- the pressure provided by the liquid pump can be in the order of 0.8 bar for a lubricant supply up to 45 bar for actuation of a clutch.

- FIGS. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment of the liquid pump. It serves to provide a stream of hydraulic oil for a drive train of a motor vehicle. This stream can be used to lubricate or to cool components of the drive train. The stream of hydraulic oil can also be provided to be converted in actuators into an actuating stroke, for example in order to shift a clutch.
- the liquid pump has a housing 10 which is formed in one piece and has a pot shape, that is to say has a base 12 and side walls 14 .
- the housing 10 is an injection-moulded part composed of plastic.
- the housing 10 can also be produced from other materials.
- One example is a housing composed of an aluminium alloy, which is machined at least in some portions.
- a pump assembly Arranged in the housing 10 are a pump assembly and an electric motor.
- the pump assembly has a pump housing 16 and a pump rotor 18 received therein.
- a pump rotor 18 received therein.
- an outer ring 20 which is rotatably received in the pump housing 16 .
- the liquid pump is here a pump of the gerotor pump type.
- Other types of pump are in principle also possible.
- the electric motor has a rotor 22 and a stator 24 .
- the stator 24 is stationarily arranged in the housing 10 against the side walls 14 .
- the rotor 22 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft 26 which is rotatably mounted in an opening of the pump housing 16 .
- the pump rotor 18 is attached in a rotationally fixed manner to the end of the shaft 26 that is located inside the pump housing 16 .
- the pump housing 16 is of a size such that the pump rotor 18 can be received therein with the necessary axial play.
- the pump housing 16 is centred in the interior of the housing 10 by means of radially protruding centring lugs 17 (see in particular FIG. 3 ), which bear against the inner wall of the housing 10 .
- the centring lugs are hollow. In this manner, a certain resilience in the radial direction is also ensured, which assists with centring.
- the separating pot 28 which separates the hydraulic oil side of the pump from the electronics side.
- the separating pot 28 here has a flange 30 , a side wall 32 of circular cylindrical cross section, and an end wall 34 .
- the separating pot 28 is an injection-moulded part composed of plastic, which has a wall thickness at least in the region of the side wall 32 , which extends between the rotor 22 and the stator 24 , in the order of 0.3 mm.
- thermoplastics and/or thermosetting plastics there can be used for the housing 10 , the pump housing 16 and the separating pot 28 in particular thermoplastics and/or thermosetting plastics.
- Particularly suitable materials are PPA or PPS.
- the pump assembly and the electric motor are mounted into the interior of the housing 10 from the open side thereof.
- the pump housing 16 thereby bears against the inner side of the base 12 , and the flange 30 of the separating pot 28 presses on a circumferential contact collar 36 , which is formed in one piece with the pump housing 16 .
- the flange 30 itself is welded to the housing 10 , namely to a welding collar 38 protruding in the axial direction (see in particular FIG. 3 ).
- the flange 30 of the separating pot 28 is welded to the welding collar 38 of the housing 10 .
- An ultrasonic welding method for example, can be used for this purpose.
- the flange 30 has a groove 40 in which the welding collar 38 is positioned.
- the dimensions of the components relative to one another in the axial direction are such that the flange 30 presses the pump housing 16 against the base 12 of the housing 10 via the contact collar 36 and is reliably welded to the welding collar 38 before the contact collar 36 bears against the contact shoulder 42 , visible in FIG. 3 , of the housing 10 .
- the pump housing 16 On mounting of the liquid pump, the pump housing 16 , on which the pump rotor 18 and the rotor 22 of the electric motor are mounted, is inserted into the interior of the housing 10 .
- the flange 30 of the separating pot 28 is then pressed against the welding collar 38 and welded there.
- the welding collar 38 is compressed in the axial direction until the pump housing 16 is pressed with its end face firmly against the base 12 of the housing 10 via the contact collar 36 , which bears against the flange 30 of the separating pot 28 .
- the weld expulsion thereby formed can be received without difficulty in the groove 40 of the flange 30 .
- any suitable welding method with which two weldable plastics can be connected together there can be used in principle any suitable welding method with which two weldable plastics can be connected together. Examples are a laser welding method, an ultrasonic welding method and a friction welding method.
- the stator 24 can be inserted, and there is mounted on the stator a printed circuit board 44 , starting from which the coils of the stator 24 of the electric motor are electrically contacted.
- FIG. 2 there is also shown an insertion channel 46 for an electrical connector plug with which the liquid pump is electrically contacted.
- the region of the housing in which the stator 24 and the printed circuit board 44 are arranged is filled with a potting compound. This serves on the one hand as mechanical support for the separating pot 28 , and on the other hand as material for dissipating thermal losses of the stator 24 .
- an intake opening 48 and a discharge opening 50 which open in the interior of the housing 10 in the region in which the pump unit is located.
- the intake opening 48 and the discharge opening 50 extend in the axial direction through the base 12 of the housing 10 .
- each opening has an associated sealing ring 52 , which is arranged in a sealing groove 54 .
- screw openings 56 are integrated in one piece into the housing.
- these screw openings are integrated into the base 12 , so that the liquid pump can be screwed directly to a transmission housing, for example.
- the seals 52 thereby seal against the transmission housing in the axial direction, and the liquid pump draws from the transmission housing directly, without the need for a separate storage container and corresponding lines.
- FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment of the invention.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a liquid pump having an electric motor, a pump assembly, which is driven by the electric motor, and a housing in which the electric motor and the pump assembly are arranged.
- The liquid pump is provided to be used in a drive train of a motor vehicle. For example, a stream of cooling oil can be provided by the liquid pump, with which stream of cooling oil various components in a transmission or a clutch can be cooled or also lubricated. It can also be provided that the liquid pump is used for providing a stream of hydraulic oil, which is converted in an actuator into an actuating force and an actuating stroke. For example, a clutch can be shifted with the stream of hydraulic oil provided. The pump can also be used to deliver other liquids, for example a coolant for battery cooling, transmission oil, lubricating oil, cooling oil, engine oil, transformer oil, insulating oil, etc.
- Such liquid pumps are known in various forms. They can be in the form of separate units, which are then connected via lines to the component to be supplied, or they can also be mounted directly on another component, for example a transmission housing.
- In a conventional construction of such a liquid pump, the housing is in multi-part form, wherein in most cases one housing part is used for the pump assembly and one housing part is used for the electric motor.
- The disadvantage of the known designs is that the forces that occur during operation of the pump cannot be absorbed optimally and that there are long tolerance chains.
- The object of the invention is to provide a liquid pump in which the forces that occur are absorbed optimally and which is distinguished by short tolerance chains.
- In order to achieve this object, it is provided in a liquid pump of the type mentioned at the beginning that the housing is in the form of a one-piece, injection-moulded pot having a base and side walls, wherein the pump assembly bears against the base and the electric motor is arranged on the open side of the housing remote from the base. The invention is based on the fundamental idea of completely eliminating any step of mounting different housing parts on one another by using a housing that is injection moulded in one piece, which housing receives the components of the liquid pump. On the one hand, this results in very simple mounting with short tolerance chains, since all the components are mounted from one side of the housing and bear against corresponding structures of the housing. As a result, account does not have to be taken of any tolerances that can occur on mounting of different housing parts on one another. On the other hand, the forces that occur during operation of the liquid pump are absorbed and transmitted uniformly within the housing.
- Preferably, an intake opening and/or a discharge opening of the liquid pump are arranged in the base of the housing. In the simplest case, the openings can be in the form of passages through the base of the housing, so that a connection to another component is obtained directly when the liquid pump is mounted with its base against the other component. Type-specific connection interfaces can be implemented with a low outlay by arranging the intake opening and the discharge opening differently in the base but otherwise producing the housing in a standardized manner.
- A sealing structure, in particular a sealing groove or a cylindrical surface, is preferably associated with the opening in the base of the housing. A sealing ring can be received in the sealing groove in order to achieve axial sealing, that is to say sealing in which the contact forces that occur are applied in the axial direction. It is also possible to use a cylindrical surface into which a connecting piece of another component engages or which itself constitutes the outer surface of a connecting piece, wherein a seal bears against the cylindrical surface, in which case the sealing forces are then applied in the radial direction.
- According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the pump assembly has a pump housing which bears against the base. The inner surface of the base thereby serves as a reference plane on mounting of the liquid pump, and an axial play of a pump rotor within the pump housing is determined solely on the basis of the dimensions of the pump housing and of the rotor; the housing has no influence.
- The pump housing is preferably centred in the housing of the liquid pump, so that no tolerance chains occur in the radial direction either.
- According to one embodiment, the pump housing is fixedly connected, in particular welded or screwed, to the housing. In this manner, the axial forces that occur during operation of the liquid pump are dissipated directly into the housing.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention there is provided a separating pot which extends between a stator and a rotor of the electric motor and separates a hydraulic side, such as hydraulic oil side of the liquid pump from a dry side, such as electronics side. The separating pot ensures that no hydraulic oil can escape from the liquid pump to the electronics side.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the separating pot has a flange which is connected to the housing. The separating pot is thus in the form of a component which is separate from the housing, so that it can be configured with a particularly small wall thickness. The separating pot can in particular be in the form of a thin-walled injection-moulded part composed of plastic.
- It is particularly advantageous if the wall thickness is in the range from 0.2 to 0.4 mm, in particular in the order of 0.3 mm. This is advantageous with regard to high efficiency, since the wall thickness of the separating pot increases the air gap between the stator and the rotor. The smaller the wall thickness of the separating pot, the smaller the air gap can be.
- The flange is fixedly connected, in particular welded, adhesively bonded, bolted or riveted, to the housing, so that reliable sealing is ensured. Furthermore, the forces that occur during operation are absorbed directly.
- The flange thereby bears against the pump housing, so that it serves at the same time to apply the pump housing to the base.
- According to an alternative form of the housing, the separating pot is formed by a pipe socket which is formed in one piece with the housing, and a separating cover which is sealingly connected to the end face of the pipe socket. This form can also be injection moulded with very high precision and a small wall thickness in the region of the pipe socket.
- A printed circuit board is arranged on the open side of the housing remote from the base, which printed circuit board is encapsulated by potting compound in the housing together with the stator. The potting compound supports the separating pot from outside, so that the hydraulic forces that occur during operation can readily be absorbed. In addition, the potting compound has good heat-conducting properties, so that the thermal losses that occur are readily dissipated.
- Screw openings can be integrated into the base of the housing in order to mount the liquid pump on another component and generate the contact forces that are desirable with regard to reliable sealing directly in the region of the base of the housing.
- Depending on the spatial conditions in a particular case, the screw openings can also be provided at a different location in the housing, that is to say, for example, spaced apart from the base in the axial direction by half the housing or also on the open side of the housing.
- The pump assembly of the liquid pump can be suitably designed in dependence on the particular requirements (in particular desired delivery pressure and desired delivery volume). For liquid pumps for actuating clutches in the drive train of motor vehicles, gear ring pumps, in particular gerotor pumps, are particularly suitable.
- The pressure provided by the liquid pump can be in the order of 0.8 bar for a lubricant supply up to 45 bar for actuation of a clutch.

FIGS. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment of the liquid pump. It serves to provide a stream of hydraulic oil for a drive train of a motor vehicle. This stream can be used to lubricate or to cool components of the drive train. The stream of hydraulic oil can also be provided to be converted in actuators into an actuating stroke, for example in order to shift a clutch. - The liquid pump has a
housing 10 which is formed in one piece and has a pot shape, that is to say has abase 12 andside walls 14. Thehousing 10 is an injection-moulded part composed of plastic. - If higher strengths are required, the
housing 10 can also be produced from other materials. One example is a housing composed of an aluminium alloy, which is machined at least in some portions. - Arranged in the
housing 10 are a pump assembly and an electric motor. - The pump assembly has a
pump housing 16 and apump rotor 18 received therein. In the embodiment of the liquid pump shown here, there is further present anouter ring 20 which is rotatably received in thepump housing 16. - The liquid pump is here a pump of the gerotor pump type. Other types of pump are in principle also possible.
- The electric motor has a
rotor 22 and astator 24. Thestator 24 is stationarily arranged in thehousing 10 against theside walls 14. Therotor 22 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to ashaft 26 which is rotatably mounted in an opening of thepump housing 16. Thepump rotor 18 is attached in a rotationally fixed manner to the end of theshaft 26 that is located inside thepump housing 16. - The
pump housing 16 is of a size such that thepump rotor 18 can be received therein with the necessary axial play. - The
pump housing 16 is centred in the interior of thehousing 10 by means of radially protruding centring lugs 17 (see in particularFIG. 3 ), which bear against the inner wall of thehousing 10. In order to avoid accumulations of material there, which can be the cause of shrinkage problems on injection moulding, the centring lugs are hollow. In this manner, a certain resilience in the radial direction is also ensured, which assists with centring. - There is provided a separating
pot 28 which separates the hydraulic oil side of the pump from the electronics side. The separatingpot 28 here has aflange 30, aside wall 32 of circular cylindrical cross section, and anend wall 34. - The separating
pot 28 is an injection-moulded part composed of plastic, which has a wall thickness at least in the region of theside wall 32, which extends between therotor 22 and thestator 24, in the order of 0.3 mm. - There can be used for the
housing 10, thepump housing 16 and the separatingpot 28 in particular thermoplastics and/or thermosetting plastics. Particularly suitable materials are PPA or PPS. - The pump assembly and the electric motor are mounted into the interior of the
housing 10 from the open side thereof. Thepump housing 16 thereby bears against the inner side of thebase 12, and theflange 30 of the separatingpot 28 presses on acircumferential contact collar 36, which is formed in one piece with thepump housing 16. Theflange 30 itself is welded to thehousing 10, namely to awelding collar 38 protruding in the axial direction (see in particularFIG. 3 ). - In order to press the
pump housing 16 in the axial direction against thebase 12 of thehousing 10, to fix thepump housing 16 in thehousing 10 and at the same time to ensure a reliable seal between the hydraulic oil side and the electronics side, theflange 30 of the separatingpot 28 is welded to thewelding collar 38 of thehousing 10. An ultrasonic welding method, for example, can be used for this purpose. - It can be seen in
FIG. 3 that theflange 30 has agroove 40 in which thewelding collar 38 is positioned. The dimensions of the components relative to one another in the axial direction are such that theflange 30 presses thepump housing 16 against thebase 12 of thehousing 10 via thecontact collar 36 and is reliably welded to thewelding collar 38 before thecontact collar 36 bears against thecontact shoulder 42, visible inFIG. 3 , of thehousing 10. - On mounting of the liquid pump, the
pump housing 16, on which thepump rotor 18 and therotor 22 of the electric motor are mounted, is inserted into the interior of thehousing 10. Theflange 30 of the separatingpot 28 is then pressed against thewelding collar 38 and welded there. During this operation, thewelding collar 38 is compressed in the axial direction until thepump housing 16 is pressed with its end face firmly against thebase 12 of thehousing 10 via thecontact collar 36, which bears against theflange 30 of the separatingpot 28. The weld expulsion thereby formed can be received without difficulty in thegroove 40 of theflange 30. - In the welded state, the hydraulic side of the pump is reliably separated from the electronics side owing to the welded connection between the
welding collar 38 and theflange 30, without the need for further seals on the housing. - On welding of the
flange 30 to thewelding collar 38, there can be used in principle any suitable welding method with which two weldable plastics can be connected together. Examples are a laser welding method, an ultrasonic welding method and a friction welding method. - Once the separating
pot 28 has been welded to thehousing 10, thestator 24 can be inserted, and there is mounted on the stator a printedcircuit board 44, starting from which the coils of thestator 24 of the electric motor are electrically contacted. - In
FIG. 2 there is also shown aninsertion channel 46 for an electrical connector plug with which the liquid pump is electrically contacted. - After the printed circuit board has been mounted, the region of the housing in which the
stator 24 and the printedcircuit board 44 are arranged is filled with a potting compound. This serves on the one hand as mechanical support for the separatingpot 28, and on the other hand as material for dissipating thermal losses of thestator 24. - In the
base 12 of thehousing 10 there are also arranged anintake opening 48 and adischarge opening 50, which open in the interior of thehousing 10 in the region in which the pump unit is located. As can be seen, for example, inFIG. 6 , theintake opening 48 and thedischarge opening 50 extend in the axial direction through thebase 12 of thehousing 10. - In the embodiment of
FIGS. 1 to 8 , each opening has an associated sealingring 52, which is arranged in a sealinggroove 54. - For the attachment of the liquid pump,
multiple screw openings 56 are integrated in one piece into the housing. In the exemplary embodiment shown, these screw openings are integrated into thebase 12, so that the liquid pump can be screwed directly to a transmission housing, for example. Theseals 52 thereby seal against the transmission housing in the axial direction, and the liquid pump draws from the transmission housing directly, without the need for a separate storage container and corresponding lines. - In this manner, reliable sealing and high security against the undesirable escape of hydraulic oil are ensured with a minimum number of seals, namely exactly two seals.
