  • Patent number: 12044236
    Abstract: A fluid pump, in particular an oil pump, for supplying a clutch actuator, a gearbox actuator, a lubrication system, and/or a cooling system of a drive train, includes a pump unit, an electrical drive unit, and a one-piece sealing element. The pump unit is arranged in a first housing part of the fluid pump, and the electrical drive unit is arranged in a second housing part of the fluid pump. The one-piece sealing element seals the first housing part against the second housing part, and seals the first housing part against a housing cover arranged on a side opposite the second housing part. Furthermore, a method for producing such a fluid pump includes arranging a pump unit in a first housing part of the fluid pump and moulding a sealing element onto the first housing part.

  • Patent number: 10451073
    Abstract: An electric motor driven fluid pump for forced lubrication of a manual transmission of a motor vehicle, includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and an electronically commutated electric motor incorporated therein. The electric motor has a substantially cup-shaped magnetic rotor rotatable around a rotational axis, shaped for conveying fluid, an annular stator having a motor winding which at least partially encloses the rotor in a coaxial arrangement with respect to the rotational axis when viewed along the rotational axis, and a magnetic field sensor for detecting the position of the rotor. The housing includes a stator housing section which holds the stator, separates same from a liquid chamber in which the rotor is arranged, and extends into the rotor by a housing offset formed for receiving the magnetic field sensor.

  • Patent number: 10337513
    Abstract: A liquid pump has a housing with a suction connection, a pressure connection and a electric motor for rotationally driving a conveying device that has a suction inlet and pressure outlet which communicate with the suction connection and the pressure connection respectively. An electronic power unit for the electric motor is adjacent to the motor and extends transversely to the axis of rotation and is on the rear side of the partition wall of the housing. The suction inlet is arranged at a height smaller than an inner radius of an annular gap between the stator and rotor, whereas a rotor passage extends at a constant height, so that a liquid inducted by way of the suction connection is guided in part via the annular gap and undergoes a deflection at the partition wall, cooling the latter before it passes through the rotor passage to the suction inlet.
