[0049] The following describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] An internal gear pump 1000 adopts the principle of internal gear meshing. A gear pair 200 of the internal gear pump 1000 includes a gear shaft 220 and an annular gear 210. The gear shaft 220 drives the annular gear 210 to rotate in the same direction as the gear shaft 220. The gear shaft 220 and the annular gear 210 are separated from each other at an entrance of the internal gear pump 1000, to generate a negative pressure, thereby sucking in a liquid. An area at the entrance of the internal gear pump 1000 is configured as a low-pressure oil area II. The gear shaft 220 and the annular gear 210 continuously mesh with each other at an exit of the internal gear pump 1000, to press out the liquid, and thus an area at the exit of the internal gear pump 1000 is configured as a high-pressure oil area I.

[0051] An axial compensation component 100 for the internal gear pump 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is first described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 11, the internal gear pump 1000 includes a pump cover 300, the axial compensation component 100 is configured to be sandwiched between the pump cover 300 of the internal gear pump 1000 and the gear pair 200, to separate the pump cover 300 from the gear pair 200, thereby preventing abrasion generated between the gear pair 200 and the pump cover 300. An oil storage tank 310 is formed in the pump cover 300. The oil storage tank 310 is configured to be in communication with the high-pressure oil area I of the internal gear pump 1000, that is, the oil storage tank 310 contains high pressure oil. The axial compensation component 100 includes a floating side plate 110 and a floating sleeve 120. The floating sleeve 120 is fixed at a side, which is far away from the gear pair 200, of the floating side plate 110. A part of floating sleeve 120 is configured to extend into the oil storage tank 310 of the pump cover 300.

[0053] The floating sleeve 120 is configured to press the floating side plate 110 tightly against the gear pair 200 under an oil pressure of the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310. When the internal gear pump 1000 works, the floating side plate 110 thins due to continuous abrasion against the gear pair 200, and the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310 can push the floating sleeve 120 to move towards the gear pair 200, so that the floating side plate 110 can press tightly against the gear pair 200 all the time. In this way, the axial compensation component 100 for the internal gear pump 1000 has a greatly increased axial compensation range, can achieve axial compensation for a relatively large gap, and is easy to assemble.

[0054] To simplify the structure of the internal gear pump 1000, the oil storage tank 310 may be in communication with the high-pressure oil area I of the internal gear pump 1000 via the axial compensation component 100. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 9, a guide groove 111 may be formed in a side, which faces the gear pair 200, of the floating side plate 110. The guide groove 111 is configured to be in communication with the high-pressure oil area I of the internal gear pump 1000. An installation groove 112 may be formed in a side, which faces the floating sleeve 120, of the floating side plate 110. A part of the floating sleeve 120 may be disposed in the installation groove 112 via an interference fit. The floating sleeve 120 may be provided with a through hole 123 running through the floating sleeve 120 along an axial direction thereof. The through hole 123 may be in communication with the guide groove 111.

[0055] It can be understood that as shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 9, at least a part of the guide groove 111 of the floating side plate 110 and the installation groove 112 can together run through the floating side plate 110. In this way, two ends of the through hole 123 of the floating sleeve 120 can be respectively in communication with the oil storage tank 310 and the guide groove 111. Therefore, the oil storage tank 310 is in communication with the high-pressure oil area I of the internal gear pump 1000. The guide groove 111 has a function of slowing down the high pressure oil in the high-pressure oil area I, and the interference fit between the floating sleeve 120 and the installation groove 112 can further prevent the high pressure oil from leaking off between the floating sleeve 120 and the floating side plate 110. Under the oil pressure of the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310, the floating sleeve 120 pushes the floating side plate 110 connected to the floating sleeve 120 to press tightly against the gear pair 200 all the time, thereby implementing the axial compensation.

[0056] In a specific example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the guide groove 111 may be configured as a waist-shaped groove. According to a shape of the high-pressure oil area I, the waist-shaped groove can be in better communication with the high-pressure oil area I.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 5, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, according to a shape of the gear pair 200, the floating side plate 110 may be configured as an arc-shaped plate, so that the floating side plate 110 can better separate the gear pair 200 from the pump cover 300.

[0058] The floating side plate 110 presses tightly against the gear pair 200 based on the floating sleeve 120. In order that the floating side plate 110 and the gear pair 200 abut against each other more closely, a plurality of floating sleeves 120 may be provided, and the plurality of floating sleeves 120 may be arranged and spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the arc-shaped plate. Correspondingly, a plurality of guide grooves 111 and a plurality of installation grooves 112 in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of floating sleeves 120 may be provided in the floating side plate 110, in which one installation groove 112 corresponds to one guide groove 111.

[0059] In a specific example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, two installation grooves 112 and two guide grooves 111 are formed in the floating side plate 110, in which the two installation grooves 112 and the two guide grooves 111 are arranged and spaced apart from each other along the circumferential direction of the arc-shaped plate. Correspondingly, two floating sleeves 120 are provided and respectively disposed in the two installation grooves 112 via the interference fit. Therefore, force applied on the floating side plate 110 is more even, and abrasion of parts of the floating side plate 110 is more uniform, which thus can prolong the service life of the axial compensation component 100.

[0060] Preferably, the floating side plate 110 may be made of copper alloy, for example, alloy of copper, aluminum and zinc.

[0061] Preferably, the floating sleeve 120 may be made of stainless steel.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 7, the floating sleeve 120 may include an installation part 122 and a support part 121. A first end of the support part 121 is connected to the installation part 122, and a second end of the support part 121 is configured to extend into the oil storage tank 310. The installation part 122 is disposed in the installation groove 112 of the floating side plate 110 via the interference fit, and the through hole 123 of the floating sleeve 120 runs through the installation part 122 and the support part 121. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, an installation boss 1212 that protrudes radially outward is arranged on an outer circumferential wall of the support part 121, and a side of the installation boss 1212 abuts against the floating side plate 110.

[0063] It can be understood that the oil pressure of the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310 is directly applied to the second end of the support part 121 of the floating sleeve 120, so as to press the floating side plate 110 tightly against the gear pair 200. As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, a seal component 130 is disposed between an inner circumferential wall of the oil storage tank 310 and the support part 121. The seal component 130 can seal a gap between the inner circumferential wall of the oil storage tank 310 and the support part 121, so as to prevent leakage of the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310.

[0064] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the seal component 130 includes a seal ring 131 and a seal sleeve 132. A groove 1211 that is recessed radially inward may be formed in the outer circumferential wall of the support part 121. The seal ring 131 may be arranged in the groove 1211, and configured to elastically abut against the inner circumferential wall of the oil storage tank 310. The seal sleeve 132 may be sleeved on the support part 121 and configured to elastically abut against the inner circumferential wall of the oil storage tank 310. The seal sleeve 132 may be sandwiched between the seal ring 131 and the installation boss 1212. In other words, one end of the seal sleeve 132 abuts against another side of the installation boss 1212, and the other end of the seal sleeve 132 abuts against the seal ring 131. By means of sealing functions of the seal ring 131 and the seal sleeve 132, the high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310 is prevented from leaking off between the floating sleeve 120 and the oil storage tank 310.

[0065] Preferably, the seal ring 131 is an O-shaped seal ring, and the O-shaped seal ring may be a standard element. Therefore, the seal ring 131 does not need to be manufactured through making molds, which can reduce a processing cost and a processing cycle of the axial compensation component 100.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the seal sleeve 132 may be directly manufactured by high polymer plastics having relatively high elasticity through machining. Therefore, the seal sleeve 132 does not need to be manufactured through making molds, which can further reduce the processing cost and the processing cycle of the axial compensation component 100. Preferably, the seal sleeve 132 is made of high-temperature resistant materials.

[0067] Therefore, the seal component 130 has a simple structure and a low manufacturing cost.

[0068] In conclusion, the axial compensation component 100 for the internal gear pump 1000 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is easy to assemble, and the floating sleeve 120 is pushed by means of the oil pressure of the high pressure oil in the internal gear pump 1000, so that the floating side plate 110 connected to the floating sleeve 120 can press tightly against the gear pair 200 all the time, thereby implementing the axial compensation and also satisfying the axial compensation for the relatively large gap. Since the seal component 130 is used, in which the O-shaped seal ring is fitted the seal sleeve 132, the manufacturing cost of the axial compensation component 100 is reduced and the processing cycle thereof also is shortened.

[0069] The following describes an internal gear pump 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 11, the internal gear pump 1000 includes a gear pair 200, a pump cover 300 and an axial compensation component 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the gear pair 200 includes an annular gear 210 and a gear shaft 220 that mesh with each other. A high-pressure oil area I and a low-pressure oil area II are defined between the annular gear 210 and the gear shaft 220. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, an oil storage tank 310 is formed in an end face, which faces the gear pair 200, of the pump cover 300.

[0071] The axial compensation component 100 is the axial compensation component 100 for the internal gear pump 1000 according to any one of the foregoing embodiments. The axial compensation component 100 includes a floating side plate 110 and a floating sleeve 120. A part of the floating sleeve 120 extends into the oil storage tank 310. The oil storage tank 310 is in communication with the high-pressure oil area I of the internal gear pump 1000. The floating side plate 110 presses tightly against the gear pair 200 under an oil pressure in the oil storage tank 310.

[0072] It can be understood that when the internal gear pump 1000 works, the floating side plate 110 thins due to continuous abrasion thereof, and under the oil pressure of high pressure oil in the oil storage tank 310, the floating sleeve 120 pushes the floating side plate 110 connected to the floating sleeve 120 to press tightly against the gear pair 200 all the time, thereby implementing axial compensation. The internal gear pump 1000 in the present disclosure completes the axial compensation by using the high pressure oil to push the floating sleeve 120, and therefore can achieve axial compensation for a relatively large gap. In this way, volumetric efficiency of the internal gear pump 1000 is not affected when the floating side plate 110 has large abrasion, and therefore, a service life of the internal gear pump 1000 is increased. Besides, the axial compensation component 100 of the internal gear pump 1000 is easy to assemble, and thus production efficiency thereof is high.

[0073] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the internal gear pump 1000 may include a pump body 500 and a sliding bearing 600. The sliding bearing 600 is sleeved on the gear shaft 220 to support the gear shaft 220. The gear shaft 220 and the annular gear 210 may be installed in the pump body 500. The pump cover 300 is installed on the pump body 500.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 1, two pump covers 300 are provided. The two pump covers 300 include a front pump cover 301 at a front side of the gear pair 200 and a rear pump cover 302 at a rear side of the gear pair 200, that is, the front pump cover 301 may be installed at a front end of the pump body 500, and the rear pump cover 302 may be installed at a rear end of the pump body 500. Correspondingly, two axial compensation components 100 may be provided. One of the two axial compensation components 100 is arranged between the front pump cover 301 and the front side of the gear pair 200, to separate the front pump cover 301 from the gear pair 200, and the other one of the two axial compensation components 100 is arranged between the rear pump cover 302 and the rear side of the gear pair 200, to separate the rear pump cover 302 from the gear pair 200.

[0075] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a small pump cover 303 may be installed at a front end of the front pump cover 301, and a mechanical seal element 700 may be installed between the small pump cover 303 and the front pump cover 301.

[0076] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the internal gear pump 1000 may include a radial seal compensation component 400. The radial seal compensation component 400 may be arranged between the annular gear 210 and the gear shaft 220, and include an outer crescent member 410, an inner crescent member 420, a spring sheet 430 and a seal bar 440.

[0077] The outer crescent member 410 may abut against the annular gear 210. The inner crescent member 420 may abut against the gear shaft 220. A first gap III and a second gap IV may be defined between the outer crescent member 410 and the inner crescent member 420, in which the first gap III may be in communication with the high-pressure oil area I, and the second gap IV may be in communication with the low-pressure oil area II. The seal bar 440 may be configured to have a cylindrical shape. The seal bar 440 may be arranged between the outer crescent member 410 and the inner crescent member 420, to isolate the high-pressure oil area I from the low-pressure oil area II. The spring sheet 430 may be arranged in the first gap III, and two ends of the spring sheet 430 elastically abut against the outer crescent member 410 and the inner crescent member 420 respectively. In this way, under a joint effect of an elastic force of the spring sheet 430 and the oil pressure of the high pressure oil, the outer crescent member 410 can press tightly against the annular gear 210, and the inner crescent member 420 can press tightly against the gear shaft 220. Therefore, radial compensation of the internal gear pump 1000 is implemented.

[0078] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9, an installation hole 113 may be formed in the floating side plate 110. The radial seal compensation component 400 may be fixed on the floating side plate 110 through a fit between a pin and the installation hole 113, which thus restricts motion of the radial seal compensation component 400, provides a simple structure and facilitates assembling.

[0079] In conclusion, according to the internal gear pump 1000 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the axial compensation component 100 in the internal gear pump 1000 can achieve the axial compensation for the relatively large gap. In this way, volumetric efficiency of the internal gear pump 1000 is not affected when the floating side plate 110 has large abrasion, and therefore, the internal gear pump 1000 has a long service life. Besides, the axial compensation component 100 of the internal gear pump 1000 is easy to assemble, and the production efficiency thereof is high.
