Definitions

  • the invention relates to a controllable coolant pump driven by torque transmission elements for internal combustion engines.
  • crankshaft coolant pumps must therefore always be dimensioned so that they cause sufficient cooling performance even at low speed and high engine load - for example, when driving uphill with trailer.
  • crankshaft coolant pumps Another major drawback of such directly driven by the crankshaft coolant pumps is that they begin immediately in the warm-up phase with the heat dissipation of the motor generated and actually in the warm-up phase also urgently needed in the engine heat.
  • thermocouples used for this speed control generate a dependent of the respective coolant temperature frictional force, slip occurs between the pump shaft and the impeller not only briefly, which inevitably increased wear of the torque transmission surfaces occurs.
  • a hydrostatic clutch with a driving, internally toothed ring gear and an eccentrically mounted, with the ring gear as a gear pump cooperating inner wheel is prescribed, which is controlled by a throttled bypass.
  • the two disc parts of the impeller are connected at cold start by means of a clutch. From a predetermined speed, this clutch opens, which then promotes the pump specifically less coolant at higher speed.
  • the DE 33 29 002 A1 describes, however, a controllable coolant pump with a device for displacement of the impeller as a function of the coolant temperature by means of a thermocouple to reduce with increasing coolant temperature between the radial blades of the pump impeller and the pump housing gap, and thereby to increase the coolant flow rate.
  • the DE 41 42 120 A1 describes a controllable cooling water pump in which the power of the cooling water pump by the variation of the impeller adjacent gap, by means of an axially displaceable ring, can be changed.
  • the drive power of the coolant pump can be varied only slightly at very poor efficiency. Due to the unfavorable design of the suction area, with the mandatory in the suction mouth webs, there is a strong cavitation. In addition, the axial adjusting device requires a large space.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to develop a driven, controllable coolant pump for internal combustion engines, which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art, coolant temperature dependent exact and gentle, can be controlled continuously, it is wear-susceptible and störunan classroom, and high efficiency one optimal, very precisely controlled adjustment of the coolant volume flow to the heat balance of the engine significantly reduces the warm-up phase of the engine, the pollutant emissions as well as simultaneously reduces friction losses and fuel consumption, and with minimal space high functional and operational reliability over the entire Lifetime guaranteed, and is also suitable for retrofitting of existing engine generations.
  • controllable coolant pump with a mounted in a pump bearing in the bearing housing, driven pump shaft, a bearing space from the pump chamber sealing gasket, preferably a mechanical seal and a freely rotatably mounted on a plain bearing of the pump shaft impeller arranged by a arranged on the pump shaft coupling depending on the temperature of the coolant is driven, characterized in that in the impeller a multi-stepped cylindrical interior with sealing collar / s and this / this Dichtbund / s adjacent, an inner toothing similar outer rotor contour is arranged, said on the pump shaft in addition to the sliding bearing for the impeller is rotatably disposed with a / two cylindrical Lagerbund / s and one / two sealing ridge / s eccentric provided, on which is rotatably provided with an external toothed inner rotor, which analo with the outer rotor contour in the impeller g is able to cooperate with the operating principle of a gerotor pump as a clutch,
  • Essential to the invention is in this context also that on the / the bearing collars on one or both sides of the eccentric axially displaceable each one of the respective sealing collar reaching to each associated sealing ridge pressure plate is arranged, which between their respective investment in the sealing web and the sealing collar and a spaced from the respective sealing ridge, arranged on the associated bearing collar pressure surface is slidably mounted / are, wherein on the side facing away from the eccentric of the pressure plate / n each one rotatably mounted in the impeller bimetallic disk is fixed adjacent.
  • overflow grooves are arranged in the working area of the pressure plate (s) in the annular casing of the impeller, which ensure optimum coolant exchange.
  • the speed of the pump impeller approximately corresponds to the input speed of the pump shaft.
  • the bimetallic disc (s) relieves / relieves the pressure plate (s).
  • an abutment disc At the support surface of the seal ring according to the invention is an abutment disc to which a relative movement between the rotating at the speed of the impeller abutment disc and the revolving at the speed of the pump shaft seal ring allows, so that by means of inventive arrangement an axial displacement of the impeller on the pump shaft is avoided.
  • bimetallic disc can be varied depending on the respective coolant temperature due to the inventive arrangement on the pressure plate, the gap width between the pressure plate and the sealing land or the sealing collar, so that increases with increasing gap width, the circulating between the displacement chambers coolant and thereby the driving torque between the pump shaft and impeller sink.
  • the minimum, speed-dependent drag torque between the pump shaft and the impeller can be specified.
  • the solution according to the invention thus enables effective control of the drive torque of the impeller of a driven coolant pump with high efficiency and thereby enables an optimal adaptation of the coolant volume flow to the heat balance of the engine.
  • optimal temperature-dependent adjustable solution is also suitable for retrofitting existing engine generations.

  • the rotational speed of the impeller 5 approximately corresponds to the drive rotational speed of the pump shaft 3.
  • FIG. 6 shows the controllable coolant pump according to the invention according to FIG. 2 with the pressure plate 13 completely relieved of the bimetallic disc 22.
  • Coolant is pressed from one into the other displacement chamber via the opening gap between the sealing web 10, side wall of the inner rotor 12 and sealing collar 7, and the pressure plate 13 is displaced until it rests against the bimetal disk 22 again.
