Abstract

A reciprocating piston pump element of a reciprocating piston pump having a piston, a cylinder with a formed-on cylinder head, an outlet valve which adjoins the cylinder head and an outlet valve housing that is secured in the cylinder head in order to form a structural unit. To reduce the amount of structural space required and to reduce the purchase price, the cylinder with the cylinder head and the region of the outlet valve housing enclosing the closure element are embodied in one piece, and in addition to a sealing ring, a further sealing ring of essentially the same diameter is disposed. As a result, a securing means in the form of a bead formed from the material of the housing block, oriented toward the outlet valve chamber, suffices to secure the reciprocating piston pump element inside the bore of the housing block. The reciprocating piston pump element can be used for space-saving, less expensive anti-lock systems in motor vehicle brake systems and can be expanded for traction control.

Dependent claims

A reciprocating piston pump, having a housing block, an inlet in said housing block, and at least one reciprocating piston pump element that is insertable into a bore of the housing block where it is axially secured by means of a securing means;

a cylinder which is sealed off relative to the bore of the housing block;
a piston displaceable in the cylinder;
a pump chamber bounded by the cylinder and piston;
an outlet, an outlet valve in said outlet, said outlet valve is connected to the pump chamber of the cylinder in an extension of a longitudinal axis of the cylinder and which has a valve seat, a valve seat closing body, a closing spring, and an outlet valve housing, which outlet valve housing has an end region and together with a sealing ring forms a closure element for the bore, the cylinder (3) and a circumferential region (27) of the outlet valve housing (26, 26a) are embodied as an integral component, and that at least one securing means, acting against the outlet valve housing (26, 26a), is provided as one of the securing means, and formed from a material of the housing block (45).
