  • Patent number: 9429155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane cell pump comprising an electrical pump unit that has a pump chamber into and out of which a fluid can flow and also a rotor with a number of vanes to compress the fluid before flowing out from the pump chamber. The vane cell pump also comprises a sound-damping mechanism into which the fluid can flow after flowing through the pump chamber and that has a sound-damping cover attached to a part of the pump chamber and defining a sound-damping volume. A preliminary sound-damping mechanism with at least one preliminary sound-damping outlet from which the fluid can flow may be arranged within the sound-damping volume, wherein the preliminary sound-damping outlet has a cross-sectional profile tapering in the direction of fluid outflow.

  • Patent number: 9212660
    Abstract: A vane pump includes an electric drive unit with an electric motor and a motor shaft, a pump chamber attached on the electric drive unit, and a rotor having a plurality of blades. The rotor is arranged concentrically to the motor shaft within the pump chamber, and the motor shaft is engaged with the rotor by way of a tappet which is connected torsionally rigid with the motor shaft. The tappet has at least one tappet peg, which is engaged in a rotor recess, that corresponds to the tappet peg, wherein the at least one rotor recess has an oval shape, and the tappet peg is contoured in such a way that two first slightly curved contoured sections each form one contact area with one oblong planar section corresponding with one each of the rotor recesses.

  • Publication number: 20130058808
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane cell pump (1) comprising an electrical drive unit with an electric motor and a motor shaft (6), a pump chamber (2) that connects to the electrical drive unit and has a pump ring (3), and also a rotor (4) that is arranged concentric to the motor shaft (6) within the pump chamber (2) and is in active connection with the motor shaft (6), wherein the rotor (4) has a number of guide slots (40) that extend inward from the outer circumference of the rotor and in each of which a vane (5) is arranged in a moveable manner with two vane ends (50, 51) opposite each other. The vane ends (50, 51) of each vane (5) have a mirror-symmetric design relative to the transverse center plane of the vane.
