  • Patent number: 11873812
    Abstract: A rotary pump includes: a pump housing having a low-pressure inlet and a high-pressure outlet; a delivery rotor rotatable about a rotational axis and including multiple deliverers distributed over the circumference of the rotor for delivering a fluid from the low-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlet; and a setting element for adjusting the delivery volume of the pump.

  • Publication number: 20230108147
    Abstract: A rotary pump for delivering fluid includes: a pump housing having a low-pressure inlet and a high-pressure outlet for the fluid to be delivered; and a delivery rotor rotatable about a rotational axis in the pump housing and including a rotor base body and multiple deliverers distributed over the circumference of the rotor base body for delivering fluid from the low-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlet. When the delivery rotor rotates, the radial and axial outer edges of the deliverers define a delivery region of the pump. The pump includes a flow channeling structure protruding axially into the low-pressure inlet in relation to the rotational axis of the delivery rotor from the pump housing wall in order to influence fluid flowing in the low-pressure inlet. The flow channeling structure arranged axially next to the delivery region and overlaps at least in portions with the delivery region in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 11598071
    Abstract: A fluid supply system supplying multiple fluid consumers of a vehicle with fluid, the fluid supply system including: a first pump supplying a first fluid consumer, arranged in a first supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; a second pump supplying a second fluid consumer, arranged in a second supply circulation of the vehicle, with fluid; and a directional control valve adjustable between a first valve position and at least one other, second valve position and preferably includes an electromagnetic device for adjusting.
