  • Patent number: 9115717
    Abstract: An internal gear pump for a hydraulic vehicle brake system has axial discs which, by the exertion of pressure on the outer sides thereof, are pressed against gearwheels of the internal gear pump for lateral sealing, provided on the inner sides thereof with grooves through which the gearwheels convey brake fluid as they are driven in rotation, which brake fluid thereby passes, for lubrication, between the axial discs and the gearwheels of the internal gear pump.

  • Patent number: 9039398
    Abstract: An internal gear pump includes a ring gear and a pinion configured to mesh with the ring gear. The ring gear and pinion delimit a pump chamber extending from a suction region to a pressure region. The internal gear pump also includes an axial disk arranged on front faces of the ring gear and the pinion and includes a lubricant feed from the suction region between the axial disk and the ring gear and pinion. The lubricant feed includes a lubricant channel which passes through the axial disk. A wedge gap is delimited between the axial disk and the ring gear and pinion. The wedge gap communicates with the suction region and, when the ring gear and the pinion are driven in rotation, a lubricating film forms between the axial disk and the ring gear and pinion.

  • Patent number: 8827376
    Abstract: A double internal gear pump has two internal gear pumps having a common pump shaft. A partition is formed between the two internal gear pumps, and the partition has a frustoconical circumferential surface which contacts an opposing in a sealing manner in a pump housing. Pump inlets and pump outlets can be led through the partition. The frustoconical circumferential surface of the partition is advantageous because it removes the necessity of pressing into the pump housing and canting the partition. In addition, a seal on the circumference of the partition is ensured with great realiability.

  • Patent number: 8579385
    Abstract: The invention relates to a brake system for a vehicle, with a main brake cylinder, a fluid control unit, and at least one wheel brake. The fluid control unit has, for brake pressure modulation in at least one brake circuit a switchover valve, an intake valve and a recirculating pump for each brake circuit. According to the invention, the fluid control unit has, for each brake circuit, a sliding valve which is connected into a suction line between the recirculating pump and the main brake cylinder. The sliding valve restricts the effective pressure on a suction side of the recirculating pump to a predeterminable maximum pressure value. In this case, the sliding valve can be arranged in series with or parallel to the intake valve.
