Abstract

A pumping device for pumping oil from a reservoir to a transmission of a motor vehicle includes: an oil pump, selectively drivable either by a mechanical direct drive or an activatable electric drive. The oil pump has: first and second components, the first and second components being movable relative to one another and being configured to deliver the oil, the mechanical direct drive being connected to one of the first and second components, and the activatable electric drive being connected to the other of the first and second components; a pump stage housing, in which the first and second components are arranged, the pump stage housing having two control disks and an interposed ring; and a pot-shaped component in which the pump stage housing is arranged.

First claim

1 - 19 . (canceled)

20 . A delivery device ( 1 ) for delivering oil from a reservoir ( 8 ) to a transmission ( 4 ) of a motor vehicle ( 12 ), comprising:
an oil pump ( 7 ) selectively drivable by a mechanical direct drive ( 9 ) or by an activatable electric drive ( 10 ), the oil pump ( 7 ) having:
first and second components ( 19 , 19 a ), the first and second components being movable relative to one another and being configured to deliver the oil, the mechanical direct drive ( 9 ) being connected to one of the first and second components ( 19 , 19 a ), and the activatable electric drive ( 10 ) being connected to the other of the first and second components ( 19 , 19 a );
a pump stage housing ( 20 ), in which the first and second components ( 19 , 19 a ) are arranged, the pump stage housing ( 20 ) having two control disks ( 22 , 23 ) and an interposed ring ( 21 ); and
a pot-shaped component ( 40 ) in which the pump stage housing ( 20 ) is arranged.

21 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the pump stage housing ( 20 ) is clamped axially in the pot-shaped component ( 40 ).

22 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the pump stage housing ( 20 ) is clamped axially by a circlip ( 43 ) inserted on an inner side of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ).

23 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the pot-shaped component ( 40 ) has an open side, the open side of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ) being flanged or calked to axially clamp the pump stage housing ( 20 ).

24 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the pot-shaped housing ( 40 ) has a base ( 41 ), the pump stage housing ( 20 ) being clamped axially against the base ( 41 ) of the pot-shaped housing ( 40 ) via a sealing ring ( 42 ).

25 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 24 , wherein the pot-shaped housing ( 40 ) has a shell surface, the shell surface of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ) having openings ( 47 ) arranged therein, which openings ( 47 ) are connected to oil feed elements ( 24 , 25 ) of the pump stage housing ( 20 ).

26 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 25 , further comprising tabs ( 48 ) arranged in the shell surface of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ), the tabs ( 48 ) being configured to provide rotationally conjoint clamping of the pump stage housing ( 20 ) to the pot-shaped component ( 40 ).

27 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 25 , wherein the base ( 41 ) of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ) transitions into a hollow shaft ( 44 ), the diameter of the hollow shaft ( 44 ) being smaller than the diameter of the shell surface of the pot-shaped component ( 40 ).

28 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 27 , wherein the hollow shaft ( 44 ) has radially arranged openings ( 46 ).

29 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , further comprising a static housing ( 13 ), wherein the pot-shaped component ( 40 ) is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to, and is sealed off by way of a radial seal ( 28 ) with respect to, the static housing ( 13 ), and inlet and outlet ports ( 17 , 18 ) for hydraulic connection of the oil pump ( 7 ) are arranged on the static housing ( 13 ).

30 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 29 , wherein the static housing ( 13 ) has a common recess ( 14 ) for an electric motor ( 11 ) of the electric drive ( 10 ) and the pot-shaped component ( 40 ).

31 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 29 , wherein the static housing ( 13 ) has a first recess for the pot-shaped housing ( 40 ) and a second recess for the electric motor of the electric drive ( 10 ).

32 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the electric drive ( 10 ) has a speed-reduction gearing.

33 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the first component ( 19 ) is fastened on a shaft ( 15 ), and the pot-shaped housing ( 40 ) is connected to a hollow shaft ( 16 ) arranged concentrically with respect to the shaft ( 15 ).

34 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein inlet and outlet openings ( 26 , 27 ) are arranged on the pump stage housing ( 20 ).

35 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 34 , wherein at least one of the inlet and outlet openings ( 26 , 27 ) is arranged on the control disks ( 22 , 23 ) of the pump stage housing ( 20 ).

36 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 34 , wherein at least one of the inlet and outlet openings ( 26 , 27 ) is arranged on the interposed ring ( 21 ) of the pump stage housing ( 20 ).

37 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the direct drive ( 9 ) and the electric drive ( 10 ) are of self-locking design.

38 . The delivery device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the oil pump ( 7 ) is a toothed ring pump, a vane-type pump or an external-gearwheel pump.
