  • the present invention generally relates to a variable delivery oil pump (VDOP) and more particularly, to a system for effective control of variable delivery oil pump (VDOP) which varies the oil quantity delivered to the engine according to specific engine operating conditions and speeds.
  • VDOP variable delivery oil pump
  • a lubrication unit such as an oil pump in engines and related systems are used for pressurizing the working fluid such as oil and delivering the fluid to lubrication circuits.
  • Conventional oil pumps for example, gerotor type oil pumps are used to deliver oil quantity linearly proportional to engine speeds. However, at higher engine speeds, such pumps deliver excess amount of oil and leads to an engine power loss.
  • the variable delivery oil pumps were developed, which were configured to deliver the required quantity of oil according to engine requirements both at low and high speeds.
  • a variable delivery oil pump consists of a main pump area having internal cavities for oil flow, a sliding ring placed inside the cavity and a rotor seated inside the sliding ring.
  • the rotor has radial slots, where plurality of vanes are aligned inside the slots, such that when the engine runs at high speeds and the pressure of the system increases, the sliding ring moves from its position to predetermined position, also called as minimum eccentricity position, against the spring biasing force to reduce the eccentricity of the pump.
  • predetermined position also called as minimum eccentricity position
  • the sliding ring moves towards the maximum eccentric position by means of spring force and consequently more quantity of oil delivery is achieved.
  • the movement of sliding ring determines the output volume of the pump and hence determines the quantity of oil delivered to the engine.
  • an oil delivery system does not provide an effective control on the movement of the sliding ring when the pressure inside the system fluctuates suddenly and also if there is an electronic failure, the whole pumps system fails to do its intended function.
  • the present invention aims to make the effective control of the variable delivery oil pump and also to run the pump system continuously even if the electronic failure occurs.
  • the electronic control setup used in the present invention need not to be operated on all conditions which reduces the power consumption of the VDOP system.
  • the present invention has been devised to mitigate the above mentioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention discloses a system to address the above mentioned problems and to effectively control oil quantity delivered to engine for specific operating condition and speeds.

  • VDOP Variable Delivery Oil Pump
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly further comprises a primary valve and a secondary valve.
  • the primary valve floats with respect to the secondary valve member.
  • the electronic control setup directly drains the oil from the spring chamber to reduce the pressure inside the spring chamber at predetermined operating conditions.
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly has four modes of operation.
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly during the first mode of operation regulates the oil going inside the spring chamber.
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly during the second mode of operation returns the oil back to the inlet side through the first return conduit and the conduit.
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly during the third mode of operation returns the oil back to the inlet side through the second return conduit .
  • the hydraulic dual valve assembly during the fourth mode of operation returns the oil directly to the sump through the relief conduit.
  • the oil is drained from the spring chamber through the first return conduit on failure of the electronic control setup.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de pompe à huile à débit variable (VDOP) pour fournir une quantité requise d'huile à un moteur sur la base des conditions de fonctionnement du moteur et des vitesses du moteur. Le système de VDOP comprend une unité de pompage (20) comprenant un ensemble soupape double de commande hydraulique (50) et une configuration de commande électronique (51) pour commander efficacement la quantité d'huile délivrée au moteur (100). Le système de VDOP, conjointement avec un conduit d'entrée (31) et un conduit de distribution (32), comprend deux conduits de retour (84, 88) pour permettre un retour d'huile vers un côté d'entrée (28) et un conduit de décharge (85) pour permettre le retour de l'huile vers un carter d'huile (102). La configuration de commande électronique (51) peut être actionnée sous certaines conditions de fonctionnement ou, si la configuration de commande électronique (51) tombe en panne, le système de VDOP peut toujours fonctionner par l'intermédiaire des conduits de retour (84, 88) prévus dans le système de VDOP. Ainsi, la VDOP fonctionne en continu avec son fonctionnement prévu même après une panne électronique.
