20110162597 | VARIABLE COOLANT PUMP - A variable coolant pump for a cooling circuit of an internal combustion engine, that has a pump housing in which is mounted a hollow shaft that is driveable by a pulley. At one end of the hollow shaft an impeller is fastened which has vanes projecting into an inlet chamber and which is firmly connected via axial bridges to a cover disc. Through rotation of the impeller together with the cover disc, water can be sucked into the inlet chamber via an inlet connection piece of the pump housing and conveyed by the vanes into an annular passage of the pump housing. A guide disc with a contour corresponding to the impeller is further arranged between impeller and cover disc. The guide disc is guided by the axial bridges and can be displaced axially via a positioning unit by a piston located inside the hollow shaft. | 07-07-2011 |
20120076640 | SEAL FOR A CONTROLLABLE COOLANT PUMP - A controllable coolant pump which has a pump housing. In the pump housing a pump shaft is arranged, which connects a drive wheel to an impeller wheel. In the operating state of the coolant pump, during a rotation of the impeller wheel, coolant is sucked in via a cover disk which is mounted in front of a suction space, and is conveyed into an annular channel of the pump housing. A delivery volume of the coolant pump can be influenced via an actuator which interacts with an axially displaceable guide plate assigned to the impeller wheel. An elastic sealing element is provided for effective sealing of an annular gap which is produced in a functionally required manner between the impeller wheel and the guide plate. The sealing element is inserted in an annular groove of the impeller wheel and is supported sealingly on a cylindrical section of the guide plate. | 03-29-2012 |

20120227691 | SWITCHABLE PRESSURE SUPPLY DEVICE - A switchable device for supplying at least one consumer of an internal combustion engine with pressure. The device includes the following: a cavity formed inside a camshaft; a displacement element arranged in the cavity, which element can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position, the displacement element having a pressure surface which at least partially delimits a fluid connectible accumulator chamber together with the wall of the cavity, the accumulator chamber being connectible to a pressure source in a fluid-conducting manner; an energy accumulator interacts with the displacement element, the displacement element being displaceable against the force of the energy accumulator from the first end position into the second end position under the effect of pressure applied to the accumulator chamber; a locking mechanism by which the displacement element can be locked in the second end position; a switching mechanism which can be actuated by an actuator, has a switch element that can be brought into at least two switching positions and interacts with the locking mechanism in such a manner that the locked state of the displacement element is maintained in a first switching position and is released in a second switching position. | 09-13-2012 |
20120240888 | SWITCHABLE PRESSURE SUPPLY DEVICE COMPRISING A PASSIVE AUXILIARY PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR - A switchable device for supplying at least one consumer of an internal combustion engine with pressure. The device includes the following: a cavity formed inside a camshaft; a first displacement element arranged in the cavity, which element can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position, the first displacement element having a first pressure surface which at least partially delimits a first accumulator chamber together with the wall of the cavity; a first energy accumulator which interacts with the first displacement element, the first displacement element being displaceable against the force of the first energy accumulator from the first end position into the second end position under the effect of pressure applied to the first accumulator chamber; a locking mechanism by which the first displacement element can be locked in the second end position; a switching mechanism which can be actuated by an actuator, having a switch element that can be brought into at least two switching positions and interacts with the locking mechanism in such a manner that the locked state of the first displacement element is maintained in a first switching position and is reversed in a second switching position; a second displacement element arranged in the cavity, which element can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position, the second displacement element having a second pressure surface which at least partially delimits a second accumulator chamber together with the wall of the cavity; a second energy accumulator which interacts with the second displacement element, the second displacement element being displaceable against the force of the second energy accumulator from the first end position into the second end position under the effect of pressure applied to the second accumulator chamber; the first accumulator chamber and the second accumulator chamber communicating with each other and being connectible to a pressure source in a fluid-conducting manner. | 09-27-2012 |
20130028732 | ROLLING BEARING DEVICE HAVING A HYDRAULIC DAMPING DEVICE - A roller bearing device in particular in a turbocharger having a housing component having a bearing hole having an inner circumference and a rolling bearing received therein on an outer race having an outer circumference. In order to implement a component such as a rotor assembly of a turbocharger that can rotate on the inner circumference with great smoothness and that is protected against imbalance, a hydraulic damping device made of reservoirs filled with a hydraulic fluid and alternating along the circumference facing the outer periphery and the inner periphery is provided in an annular gap between the outer periphery of the outer race and the inner periphery of the bearing hole by radially pretensioning the outer race relative to the bearing hole. | 01-31-2013 |
20140308115 | CONTROLLABLE COOLANT PUMP WITH AN ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC BAFFLE PLATE ADJUSTMENT - A controllable coolant pump of a cooling circuit for an internal combustion engine, having a pump housing, in which a pump shaft with associated impeller is rotatably arranged. The impeller conveys a coolant as a volume flow via an intake connection in a pressure or spiral channel of the coolant pump. The volume flow can be influenced by a baffle plate which encloses the outside of the impeller, the push rod of the baffle plate being guided in the pump shaft. In connection with an actuator the baffle plate can be continuously adjusted between two limit positions against the force of a spring. A control element, which has an electro-hydraulic action and which is integrated into the pump shaft, serves as an actuator, wherein the pressurized coolant in the coolant pump is provided as a hydraulic fluid. | 10-16-2014 |
