Patent number: 10473099Abstract: A modular system of reciprocating pumps is to be designed in such a way that any type of said reciprocating pumps can be economically assembled and tested on a flexible assembly device. The magnetic part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested separately and is overmolded with plastic material; the connection point to the pump part has a given connecting contour that allows different types of pump parts of the modular system to be connected; and the pump part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested for the displaced volume thereof. Feed pumps and metering pumps for fuels and aqueous reagents.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Thomas Magnete GmbHInventors: Mike Heck, Axel Muller, Michael Muller, Thomas Rolland, Juergen Schonlau, Marc Leinweber, Markus Ermert, Michael Feckler

Patent number: 10047736Abstract: A metering pump enables simple fluid metering, has an extended service life, and is of compact construction. The metering pump includes a piston rod in operative connection with a control body which has a circumferential sealing zone, in that the internal circumference of the sealing cylinder radially surrounds the sealing zone. On the piston rod side, a compensating zone, which is at a greater radial distance from the sealing cylinder than the sealing zone, adjoins the sealing zone at least in portions, and in that the control body, after passing beyond the control edge in the actuation direction of the actuator, at least largely severs the fluid connection.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Thomas Magnete GmbHInventors: Robert Wellnitz, Mike Heck, Axel Mueller, Michael Mueller, Andreas Monzen

Patent number: 9394890Abstract: A reciprocating-piston pump with plain bearing traversed by flow. The reciprocating-piston pump is driven by an electromagnet to have a bearing of the piston in a cylinder, which bearing is protected against local overheating and from which bearing decomposition and reaction products and any wear products generated are discharged. For this purpose, elongate helical depressions are provided in one of two bearing surfaces in a bearing gap between the piston and the cylinder, which depressions are traversed entirely or partially by a flow of the liquid which is delivered by the piston acting in interaction with other components of the reciprocating-piston pump for the delivery rate of the reciprocating-piston pump. Reciprocating-piston pumps of the described type can be used as dosing pumps and as delivery pumps in fuel-operated standstill heaters, auxiliary heaters and exhaust-gas purification systems in vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Thomas Magnete GmbHInventors: Michael Feckler, Mike Heck, Axel Muller, Olaf Ohligschlager, Tebea Reinschmidt, Robert Wellnitz

Patent number: 9182048Abstract: A switchable pressure limiting valve with an electromagnet (1) and with a device (2) for opening and closing a passage for the fluid stream. The opening of the valve is determined by the balance of forces at the tappet (3) upon which the pressure force of the fluid at the P-connection (4), the pressure force of the fluid at the T-connection (13) and the forces of two springs (5) and (6) act. The force of the spring (6) is varied by means of the position of the armature of the electromagnet. When the pressure force at the P-connection (4) outweighs the sum of the other forces, the valve opens. The above-mentioned device for opening and closing is composed of a diaphragm (7) and of a sealing seat (12), and this diaphragm is tension-mounted sealingly between the magnetic pole (10) and the housing (21).Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Thomas Magnete GmbHInventors: Thomas Rolland, Mike Heck
