Abstract
A flow-controllable cell pump having a bearing element that may be positioned in a receiving shell of a pump housing such that the receiving shell may assume an operational connection with at least one of a bearing element, a pump chamber positioned between an inner rotor and a control slide valve. An outer rotor may be configured in the control slide valve, and suction kidneys may be arranged on both sides of the pump chambers in the pump housing. At least one pressure kidney may be offset on both sides of the pump chambers in the pump housing. The pressure kidney may be connected with a pressure connection socket, with a control slide valve arm configured on the control slide valve.
Claims14
A flow-controllable cell pump comprising:
- a drive shaft mounted in a pump housing;
- an inner rotor configured on the driveshaft;
- a bearing lug configured on a control slide valve, such that a bearing shell is configured in the bearing lug;
- a bearing element is configured in said bearing shell;
- a receiving shell, wherein the bearing element is received in the receiving shell of the pump housing such that the receiving shell is configured to assume an operational connection with at least one of the bearing element, pump chambers configured between the inner rotor and the control slide valve, and wherein an outer rotor is configured in the control slide valve, and suction kidneys arranged on both sides of the pump chambers in the pump housing connected with a suction connection socket;
- and
- at least one pressure kidney is configured on at least one side of the pump chambers in the pump housing such that the at least one pressure kidney is connected with a pressure connection socket, with a control slide valve arm configured on the control slide valve, wherein at least one working spring is configured between the pump housing and the control slide valve arm, such that the control slide valve arm biases the control slide valve into a position of maximum rate of delivery, with at least one control pressure chamber configured between the pump housing and the control slide valve, such that the bearing element is a bearing sleeve with a through-flow opening extending along an axis with opposing first and second ends, wherein at least one flow-through chamber is configured on at least one of the first and the second ends of the through-flow opening configured in at least one of a pump housing and in the pump housing lid, which arranged opposite the pump housing, and wherein the at least one flow-through chamber is directly connected with the at least one pressure kidney, which is configured on the same side of the control slide valve, however the at least one flow-through chamber is sealed against the suction kidney that is configured on a suction side through adjacent assemblies.

A flow-controllable cell pump comprising:
- a drive shaft mounted in a pump housing;
- an inner rotor configured on the drive shaft;
- a bearing sleeve configured to rotatably connect a control side valve to the pump, wherein the bearing sleeve is received in a receiving shell of the pump housing such that the receiving shell is configured to assume an operational connection with at least one of the bearing sleeve and at least one pump chamber configured between the inner rotor and the control slide valve;
- an outer rotor is configured in the control slide valve;
- at least one suction kidney is arranged on both sides of the at least one pump chamber in the pump housing connected with a suction connection socket;
- and
- at least one pressure kidney is configured on at least one side of the at least on pump chamber, the at least one pressure kidney is connected with a pressure connection socket, with a control slide valve arm configured on the control slide valve;
- at least one working spring is configured between the pump housing and the control slide valve arm, wherein the at least one working spring is offset from the control slide valve, such that the at least one working spring biases the control slide valve arm to position the control slide valve at a position of maximum rate of delivery;
- at least one control pressure chamber is configured between the pump housing and the control slide valve;
- a through-flow opening extends through the bearing sleeve;
- at least one flow-through chamber is configured on at least one of a first and a second end of the bearing sleeve, wherein at least one of the first and second ends is configured in at least one of the pump housing and in a pump housing lid, which is arranged opposite the pump housing, and wherein the at least one flow-through chamber is directly connected with the at least one pressure kidney configured on the same side of the control slide valve, however the at least one flow-through chamber is sealed against the at least one suction kidney that is configured on a suction side through adjacent assemblies.
