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.
