There are related contact zones on primary stopping surfaces (5a,6a) directed radially inwards on the pump wheel's hollow axle or on the drive shaft. An independent claim is also included for an oil pump with an oil pump drive mechanism according to the present invention.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Ölpumpenantrieb für ein Kraftfahrzeug, enthaltend ein Pumpenrad mit einer Hohlachse sowie eine Antriebswelle, welche in die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades drehfest eingreift. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Ölpumpe mit einem derartigen Ölpumpenantrieb.The invention relates to an oil pump drive for a motor vehicle, comprising a Impeller with a hollow axle and a drive shaft, which in the hollow axle the impeller rotatably engages. Furthermore, the invention relates to an oil pump with such an oil pump drive.

Ölpumpen in Kraftfahrzeugen dienen dazu, das für die Schmierung und Kühlung von Motor und Getriebe benötigte Öl auf einen ausreichenden Betriebsdruck zu bringen und im Ölkreislauf umzupumpen. In der Regel weisen derartige Ölpumpen einen Ölpumpenantrieb auf, welcher eine vom Motor des Kraftfahrzeuges angetriebene Antriebswelle mit einem zu rotierenden Teil der Ölpumpe (im Folgenden als "Pumpenrad" bezeichnet) koppelt. Die Wirkverbindung zwischen Pumpenrad und Antriebswelle wird typischerweise dadurch hergestellt, daß die Antriebswelle drehfest in eine zylindrische Hohlachse des Pumpenrades eingreift. Die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades weist zu diesem Zweck zwei sich gegenüberliegende, radial einwärts gezogene Anschlagflächen auf, und die zylindrische Antriebswelle ist durch zwei Abflachungen mit entsprechenden Gegen-Anschlagflächen ausgestattet. Die Anschlagflächen von Pumpenrad und Antriebswelle kommen dann in diametral gegenüberliegenden Kopplungsbereichen (X' in Figur 3) miteinander in Berührung, in denen die Übertragung des Drehmoments von der Antriebswelle auf das Pumpenrad erfolgt. Problematisch bei den bekannten Ölpumpenantrieben ist jedoch, daß diese in erheblichem Maße Geräusche und Vibrationen erzeugen.Oil pumps in motor vehicles are used for lubrication and cooling Oil required by the engine and transmission to a sufficient operating pressure bring and circulate in the oil circuit. As a rule, such oil pumps an oil pump drive, which is driven by the engine of the motor vehicle Drive shaft with a part of the oil pump to be rotated (hereinafter as "impeller") coupled. The operative connection between impeller and drive shaft is typically made by the drive shaft rotatably engaged in a cylindrical hollow shaft of the impeller. The hollow axle the impeller has for this purpose two opposing, radial inwardly drawn abutment surfaces, and the cylindrical drive shaft is equipped with two flats with corresponding counter-abutment surfaces. The stop surfaces of impeller and drive shaft then come in diametrical opposite coupling regions (X 'in Figure 3) in contact, in which the transmission of torque from the drive shaft the impeller is made. The problem with the known oil pump drives however, that they generate considerable noise and vibration.

Vor diesem Hintergrund war es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Ölpumpenantrieb mit einem ruhigeren Laufverhalten bereitzustellen. Against this background, it was an object of the present invention, an oil pump drive to provide a smoother running behavior.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Ölpumpenantrieb mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie durch eine Ölpumpe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 6 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is achieved by an oil pump drive having the features of the claim 1 and solved by an oil pump with the features of claim 6. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ölpumpenantrieb enthält ein Pumpenrad mit einer Hohlachse sowie eine Antriebswelle, welche in die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades drehfest eingreift. Das Pumpenrad kann je nach Art der Ölpumpe, für welche der Ölpumpenantrieb verwendet werden soll, verschieden ausgestaltet sein. Insbesondere kann dieses als Innenrad einer Zahnradpumpe oder einer Sichelpumpe ausgebildet sein. Über die Antriebswelle kann ein Drehmoment beziehungsweise eine Rotation zugeführt werden, wobei die Antriebswelle ihrerseits üblicherweise von der Kurbelwelle des Motors angetrieben wird. Der Ölpumpenantrieb ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der Hohlachse des Pumpenrades und an der Antriebswelle jeweils genau eine Kontaktzone ausgebildet ist, wobei die beiden Kontaktzonen beim Betrieb des Ölpumpenantriebs einander berühren und Kraft von der Antriebswelle auf das Pumpenrad übertragen. Typischerweise handelt es sich bei den Kontaktzonen um verhältnismäßig kleine, zusammenhängende Flächenstücke.The oil pump drive according to the invention contains a pump wheel with a hollow axle and a drive shaft which rotatably in the hollow shaft of the impeller intervenes. Depending on the type of oil pump, the impeller may be for which the oil pump drive should be used, designed differently. Especially This can be designed as an internal gear of a gear pump or a sickle pump be. About the drive shaft, a torque or a Rotation are supplied, wherein the drive shaft in turn usually from the crankshaft of the engine is driven. The oil pump drive is characterized characterized in that on the hollow shaft of the impeller and on the Drive shaft is formed in each case exactly one contact zone, the two Contact zones during operation of the oil pump drive touching each other and force transmitted from the drive shaft to the impeller. Typically it is at the contact zones to relatively small, contiguous Patches.

Anders als bei den bekannten Ölpumpenantrieben stehen die Antriebswelle und das Pumpenrad somit nicht in zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden Kopplungsbereichen miteinander in Wirkverbindung, sondern nur in einem einzigen Kopplungsbereich. Dementsprechend wird kein Kräftepaar (d. h. ein Drehmoment) von der Antriebswelle auf das Pumpenrad übertragen, sondern nur eine einzelne Kraft; die zur Erzeugung eines Drehmomentes am Pumpenrad erforderliche Gegenkraft wird von Lagerkomponenten des Pumpenrades aufgebracht. Praktische Erprobungen eines derartigen Ölpumpenantriebs zeigen, daß dieser erheblich geringere Geräuschemissionen und Vibrationen erzeugt als Ölpumpenantriebe nach dem Stand der Technik.Unlike the known oil pump drives are the drive shaft and the impeller thus not in two diametrically opposed coupling areas in operative connection with each other, but only in a single coupling area. Accordingly, no pair of forces (i.e., torque) is generated by the Drive shaft transmitted to the impeller, but only a single force; the to generate a torque on the impeller required counterforce applied by bearing components of the impeller. Practical trials of such an oil pump drive show that this significantly lower noise emissions and vibrations generated as oil pump drives to the state of the technique.

Für die drehfeste Kopplung zwischen Antriebswelle und Pumpenrad unter Ausbildung jeweils einer einzigen Kontaktzone gibt es zahlreiche verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Vorzugsweise sind die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades und die Antriebswelle jeweils zylindrisch mit einer radial einwärts stehenden "primären" Anschlagfläche ausgebildet. Zu beachten ist diesbezüglich, daß der genannte "Zylinder mit Anschlagfläche" beim Pumpenrad eine Innenfläche (der Hohlachse) und bei der Antriebswelle eine Außenfläche definiert. Weiterhin sind die Dimensionen und Formen von Hohlachse und Antriebswelle so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Antriebswelle mit vorgegebenem Spiel in die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades paßt und an den primären Anschlagflächen von Antriebswelle beziehungsweise Pumpenrad jeweils eine Kontaktzone für die gewünschte Kraftübertragung vorgegeben ist.For the non-rotatable coupling between the drive shaft and impeller under training each of a single contact zone, there are many different ways. Preferably, the hollow axis of the impeller and the drive shaft each cylindrical with a radially inwardly standing "primary" stop surface educated. It should be noted in this regard that said "cylinder with stop surface" the impeller an inner surface (the hollow axis) and the drive shaft defines an outer surface. Furthermore, the dimensions and shapes of the hollow shaft and the drive shaft so coordinated that the drive shaft fits with a predetermined game in the hollow shaft of the impeller and at the primary stop surfaces of the drive shaft or impeller in each case a contact zone for the desired power transmission is specified.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsform des Ölpumpenantriebs kann dadurch weitergebildet werden, daß die genannte primäre Anschlagfläche an der Hohlachse des Pumpenrades und/oder an der Antriebswelle einen (am Pumpenrad radial einwärts und an der Antriebswelle radial auswärts gerichteten) Vorsprung zur Ausbildung der Kontaktzone aufweist. Durch einen derartigen Vorsprung kann die Lage der jeweiligen Kontaktzone konstruktiv genau und unabhängig von Herstellungstoleranzen vorgegeben werden.The above-described embodiment of the oil pump drive can thereby be further developed that said primary abutment surface on the Hollow axis of the impeller and / or on the drive shaft a (on the impeller radially inward and radially outward of the drive shaft) having the formation of the contact zone. By such a projection The position of each contact zone can be constructively accurate and independent be specified by manufacturing tolerances.

Gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung des Ölpumpenantriebs weisen die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades und die Antriebswelle jeweils eine "sekundäre", radial einwärts stehende Anschlagfläche auf, welche der primären Anschlagfläche im Wesentlichen diametral bzw. spiegelbildlich gegenüberliegt. Bei der Ausbildung der sekundären Anschlagflächen ist selbstverständlich die Bedingung zu beachten, daß die Kraftübertragung zwischen Antriebswelle und Pumpenrad im Betriebszustand nur in einem einzigen Kopplungsbereich stattfinden soll. Eine Kraftübertragung zwischen den sekundären Anschlagflächen von Pumpenrad und Antriebswelle findet daher beim Betrieb des Ölpumpenantriebs nicht statt. Die sekundären Anschlagflächen dienen jedoch dazu, das tangentiale Spiel zwischen der Antriebswelle und dem Pumpenrad in einstellbarer Weise zu begrenzen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird unter dem "tangentialen" Spiel das (Winkel-)Spiel verstanden, mit welchem sich die Antriebswelle (zum Beispiel bei einer Umkehr der Drehrichtung) frei und ohne Wirkverbindung zum Pumpenrad drehen kann. According to another embodiment of the oil pump drive, the hollow axle the impeller and the drive shaft each have a "secondary", radially inward standing stop surface, which is the primary stop surface substantially diametrically or mirror image opposite. In the education of the secondary Stop surfaces is of course the condition to note that the Power transmission between drive shaft and impeller in operating condition only should take place in a single coupling area. A power transmission between the secondary abutment surfaces of impeller and drive shaft finds therefore not take place during operation of the oil pump drive. The secondary stop surfaces However, serve the tangential clearance between the drive shaft and to limit the impeller in an adjustable manner. In this context is understood by the "tangential" game the (angular) game, with which the drive shaft (for example, in a reversal of the direction of rotation) free and can rotate to the impeller without operative connection.

Auch an den sekundären Anschlagflächen können Vorsprünge vorgesehen sein, welche eine konstruktiv definierte Einstellung des gewünschten Spiels ermöglichen.Also on the secondary abutment surfaces projections may be provided which allow a constructively defined setting of the desired game.

Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Ölpumpe, welche einen Ölpumpenantrieb der vorstehend beschriebenen Art enthält. Insbesondere kann es sich bei dieser Ölpumpe um eine Zahnradpumpe oder eine Sichelpumpe handeln.Furthermore, the invention relates to an oil pump, which is an oil pump drive of the type described above. In particular, this may be Oil pump to act around a gear pump or a sickle pump.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung mit Hilfe der Figuren beispielhaft näher erläutert.In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with the aid of the figures.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind die für die vorliegende Erfindung wesentlichen Teile einer erfindungsgemäßen Ölpumpe eines Kraftfahrzeuges dargestellt, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen in den beiden Figuren für gleiche Komponenten stehen und wobei Figur 1 gleichermaßen auch für eine ölpumpe nach dem Stand der Technik (Figur 3) gelten würde. Bei der Ölpumpe kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Zahnrad- oder Sichelpumpe handeln. Hier dargestellt ist eine Zahnradpumpe, bei welcher ein Innenrad bzw. Pumpenrad 1 von der Kurbelwelle des Kraftfahrzeuges rotierend angetrieben wird und diese Drehung an ein exzentrisch gelagertes, innenverzahntes Außenrad 7 weitergibt. In Figur 1 sind von dieser Konstellation nur das Pumpenrad 1, das Außenrad 7, ein Teil der Gehäusewand 3 der Ölpumpe sowie eine Antriebswelle 2 dargestellt. Die Antriebswelle 2 trägt an einem Ende eine Riemenscheibe 4 zum Antrieb von Nebenaggregaten wie z.B. der Wasserpumpe und des Generators. Ein aus Richtung des Pfeils II kommender Zapfen (nicht dargestellt) koppelt die Antriebswelle 2 mit der Kurbelwelle (nicht dargestellt) des Kraftfahrzeuges. Die Antriebswelle 2 greift weiterhin drehfest in die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades 1 ein, so daß sie Letzteres mitnehmen kann, wenn sie selbst durch die Kurbelwelle des Kraftfahrzeuges angetrieben wird.In Figures 1 and 2 are the essential parts for the present invention an oil pump of a motor vehicle according to the invention shown, wherein the same Reference numerals in the two figures stand for the same components and Figure 1 also alike for an oil pump according to the prior art (Figure 3) would apply. The oil pump may be, for example, a Gear or sickle pump act. Shown here is a gear pump, at which is an internal gear or impeller 1 of the crankshaft of the motor vehicle is driven in rotation and this rotation to an eccentrically mounted, internally toothed Outer wheel 7 passes. In Figure 1 are of this constellation only the impeller 1, the outer wheel 7, a part of the housing wall 3 of the oil pump and a drive shaft 2 shown. The drive shaft 2 carries at one end a pulley 4 for driving ancillaries such as e.g. the water pump and the generator. A coming from the direction of arrow II pin (not shown) couples the drive shaft 2 with the crankshaft (not shown) of the motor vehicle. The drive shaft 2 further engages against rotation in the hollow axle the impeller 1, so that they can take the latter when they themselves is driven by the crankshaft of the motor vehicle.

Figur 3 zeigt, wie die drehfeste Kopplung zwischen Antriebswelle 2' und Pumpenrad 1' bei herkömmlichen Ölpumpenantrieben realisiert ist. Die Bezugsziffern von Komponenten, die denjenigen der Figuren 1 und 2 entsprechen, sind dabei in Figur 3 mit einem Strich versehen. Beim Stand der Technik weist die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades 1' zwei sich parallel gegenüberliegende Anschlagsflächen 5a' und 5b' auf, welche die ansonsten zylindrische Innenfläche der Hohlachse verengen. Die grundsätzlich zylindrische Außenfläche der Antriebswelle 2' weist entsprechend an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten Abflachungen 6a', 6b' auf. Die Radien von Antriebswelle 2' und Hohlachse des Pumpenrades 1' sowie die Positionen der Flächen 5a', 5b', 6a', 6b' sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Antriebswelle 2' mit gewisser Toleranz in die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades 1' eingeführt werden kann. Bei einer Drehung der Antriebswelle 2' in Richtung des Pfeils kommt es in zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden Kopplungsbereichen X' zu einem Drehmoment übertragenden Kontakt zwischen Antriebswelle 2' und Pumpenrad 1'.Figure 3 shows how the non-rotatable coupling between the drive shaft 2 'and impeller 1 'is realized in conventional oil pump drives. The reference numbers of Components corresponding to those of FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown in FIG 3 with a dash. In the prior art, the hollow axle of the Impeller 1 'two parallel stop surfaces 5a' and 5b ', which narrow the otherwise cylindrical inner surface of the hollow shaft. The basically cylindrical outer surface of the drive shaft 2 'has accordingly on two opposite sides flats 6a ', 6b' on. The radii of drive shaft 2 'and hollow shaft of the impeller 1' and the positions the surfaces 5a ', 5b', 6a ', 6b' are matched to one another such that the drive shaft 2 'introduced with a certain tolerance in the hollow shaft of the impeller 1' can be. Upon rotation of the drive shaft 2 'in the direction of the arrow it comes in two diametrically opposed coupling regions X 'to one Torque transmitting contact between drive shaft 2 'and impeller 1'.

Beim Betrieb eines herkömmlichen Ölpumpenantriebs der vorstehend beschriebenen Art zeigt es sich, daß dieser eine erhebliche Geräuschemission aufweist. Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung war es daher, einen Ölpumpenantrieb mit einem verbesserten, d. h. leiseren und ausgeglicheneren Laufverhalten bereitzustellen.In the operation of a conventional oil pump drive of the type described above It turns out that this has a considerable noise emission. aim It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide an oil pump drive with an improved d. H. to provide quieter and more balanced running behavior.

Dieses Ziel wird ausgehend von einem herkömmlichen Ölpumpenantrieb gemäß Figur 3 dadurch erreicht, daß die Antriebswelle oder die Hohlachse des Pumpenrades in solcher Weise bezüglich der Mittelachse asymmetrisch ausgebildet werden, daß es bei der Drehung der Antriebswelle nurmehr in einem einzigen Kopplungspunkt beziehungsweise -bereich zu einem Kraft übertragenden Kontakt kommt. Die Umsetzung dieser Krafteinleitung in ein Drehmoment zur Erzeugung der Drehbewegung erfolgt durch Gegenkräfte in den axialen und radialen Lagern des Pumpenrades. Konkret ist bei der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung die Anschlagsfläche 5a des Pumpenrades 1 in dem Kopplungsbereich X, in welchem die Antriebswelle 2 bei ihrer Drehung zuerst mit dem Pumpenrad 1 in Kontakt kommt, radial nach innen vorspringend ausgebildet. Da im diametral gegenüberliegenden Bereich des Pumpenrades 1 ein entsprechender Vorsprung fehlt, findet bei einer Drehung der Antriebswelle 2 eine Kraftübertragung stets nur im Kopplungsbereich X zwischen der Abflachung 6a der Antriebswelle 2 und dem radial nach innen gerichteten Vorsprung der Fläche 5a des Pumpenrades 1 statt. Wie sich zeigt, kann hierdurch die Geräuschentstehung beim Betrieb des Ölpumpenantriebs erheblich vermindert werden.This goal is based on a conventional oil pump drive according to Figure 3 achieved in that the drive shaft or the hollow shaft of the impeller be asymmetrically formed in such a way with respect to the central axis, that at the rotation of the drive shaft only in a single coupling point or area to a force-transmitting contact comes. The implementation of this application of force in a torque for production the rotational movement takes place by counter forces in the axial and radial bearings of the impeller. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 2 the invention, the stop surface 5a of the impeller 1 in the coupling region X, in which the drive shaft 2 in its rotation first with the impeller 1 comes into contact, formed projecting radially inwards. Because in the diametrical opposite region of the impeller 1, a corresponding projection is missing, takes place during a rotation of the drive shaft 2, a power transmission always only in the coupling region X between the flattening 6a of the drive shaft 2 and the radially inward projection of the surface 5a of the impeller 1 instead. As it turns out, this can cause the noise during operation the oil pump drive can be significantly reduced.

Wie Figur 2 weiterhin entnommen werden kann, besitzt die nicht an der Kraftübertragung teilnehmende, der Fläche 5a gegenüberliegende Anschlagsfläche 5b des Pumpenrades 1 ebenfalls einen radial einwärts gerichteten Vorsprung. Dieser dient dazu, den Bewegungsspielraum zwischen Antriebswelle 2 und Pumpenrad 1 in tangentialer Richtung einzuengen und hierdurch Rotationsvibrationen zwischen Antriebswelle 2 und Pumpenrad 1 zu minimieren. Auch hierdurch wird die Geräuscherzeugung beim Betrieb der Ölpumpe reduziert.As Figure 2 can be further removed, which does not have the power transmission participating, the surface 5a opposite abutment surface 5b of the Impeller 1 also has a radially inwardly directed projection. This serves to the range of motion between drive shaft 2 and pump 1 narrowing in the tangential direction and thereby rotational vibrations between Drive shaft 2 and impeller 1 to minimize. This also causes the generation of noise reduced during operation of the oil pump.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß die Spielräume beziehungsweise Toleranzen zwischen Antriebswelle 2 und Pumpenrad 1 in den zwei zur Antriebswelle 2 senkrechten Richtungen (radial, d. h. in Figur 2 nach oben und unten, und tangential, d.h. in Figur 2 nach rechts und links) unabhängig voneinander vorgegeben werden können. Durch großes radiales Spiel können die radialen Betriebsbewegungen der Kurbelwelle von der Verzahnung ferngehalten und Verzahnungsgeräusche abgesenkt werden.Another advantage of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 is that that the margins or tolerances between drive shaft 2 and Impeller 1 in the two directions perpendicular to the drive shaft 2 directions (radially, d. H. in Figure 2 up and down, and tangential, i. in Figure 2 to the right and left) can be specified independently. By big radial Can play the radial operating movements of the crankshaft of the teeth kept away and Verzahnungsgeräusche be lowered.
