  • Publication number: 20240309873
    Abstract: A pump, such as a transmission oil pump, is disclosed. The pump includes an electric motor having a motor housing with a housing wall, and a pump device having a pump housing. A drive shaft of the electric motor is coupled to the pump device. The pump also includes an electrics housing with a motor controller for controlling the electric motor. The electrics housing is detachably attached to the pump housing on a side of the pump housing that faces away from the electric motor. The housing wall of the motor housing is designed as a bearing plate and is detachably arranged on the motor housing rim of the motor housing in the region of a groove which encircles the rim of the bearing plate. The pump housing is detachably arranged by an edge encircling the inside of the pump housing rim, on the bearing plate of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 12049951
    Abstract: A pump stage assembly for supplying lubricating oil, comprising: at least two pump suction stages and at least one pump pressure stage. The pump suction stages and the pump pressure stage are spaced apart from one another in a pump housing PG and have a common drive shaft. The pump suction stages are formed by a first assembly of at least three intermeshing external gearwheels and wherein the pump pressure stage is formed by a second assembly of two intermeshing external gearwheels. Here at least two respective tooth center points of the first external gearwheel assembly and the respective tooth center points of the second external gearwheel assembly are arranged in a common plane E-E which intersects the pump housing PG in a longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 11867281
    Abstract: A pump stage assembly including at least two pump suction stages and at least one pump pressure stage. The pump suction stages and the pump pressure stage are arranged spaced apart from one another in a pump housing PG and have a common drive shaft. The pump suction stages are formed by a first assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a first plane, and the pump pressure stage is formed by a second assembly of intermeshing external gearwheels that lie in a second plane. A first delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a first region of a dry sump by a first pump suction stage, and a second delivery volume flow can be drawn in from a second region of the dry sump by a second pump suction stage. The two delivery volume flows intermix in the pump housing before they reach an oil tank.

  • Patent number: 10451060
    Abstract: A positive displacement pump for pumping oil in a motor vehicle transmission comprises a pump stage that has a central kidney-shaped suction cavity and two kidney-shaped pressure cavities. Oil is selectively pumped via one kidney-shaped pressure cavity or the other kidney-shaped pressure cavity in accordance with the direction of rotation of the pump stage. This makes it possible to create, with little complexity, two operating stages for the positive displacement pump.
