Pump drive system
View Patent ↗A pump drive system having a pump drive element that is driven by a first or a second drive mechanism. The pump drive element is connectable or connected by a coupling element in a rotationally fixed connection either through a first free-wheel device to the first drive mechanism or through a second free-wheel device to the second drive mechanism.
1. A pump drive system comprising:
a pump drive element rotatingly driving an input for the pump;
a first drive mechanism;
a second drive mechanism;
a coupling element rotationally fixed to the pump drive element and including a first surface facing radially inward and a second surface facing radially outward;
a first free wheel device engaged with the first surface; and,
a second free wheel device engaged with the second surface, wherein:
when the rotational speed of the first drive mechanism is greater than the rotational speed for the second drive mechanism, the first freewheel device rotationally connects the first drive mechanism with the coupling element; and,
when the rotational speed of the second drive mechanism is greater than the rotational speed for the first drive mechanism, the second freewheel device rotationally connects the second drive mechanism with the coupling element.
2. The pump drive system recited in claim 1 , wherein a transmission input shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed connection to a guide device for a cooling and/or lubricating medium, and wherein the guide device is rotatable relative to the coupling element.
3. The pump drive system recited in claim 1 , wherein the first drive mechanism includes a drive sleeve which is connectable or connected through the first free-wheel device to the coupling element in a rotationally fixable connection.
4. The pump drive system recited in claim 3 , wherein the drive sleeve is supported on the coupling element free of transverse forces by a journal bearing device.
5. The pump drive system recited in claim 1 , wherein a flow volume produced by a pump driven by the pump drive element is regulated by means of a suction throttle system.
6. The pump drive system recited in claim 1 , wherein the coupling element includes a coupling sleeve having a first axial section and a second axial section.
7. The pump drive system recited in claim 6 , wherein the first axial section works in combination with the first free-wheel device and the second axial section works in combination with the second free-wheel device.
8. A hybrid vehicle power train, comprising:
an electric motor;
a combustion engine;
a double-clutch transmission, with at least one transmission input shaft; and
a pump drive system comprising:
a pump drive element rotatingly driving an input for the pump;
a first drive mechanism;
a second drive mechanism;
a coupling element rotationally fixed to the pump drive element and including a first surface facing radially inward and a second surface facing radially outward;
a first free wheel device engaged with the first surface; and,
a second free wheel device engaged with the second surface, wherein:
when the rotational speed of the first drive mechanism is greater than the rotational speed for the second drive mechanism, the first freewheel device rotationally connects the first drive mechanism with the coupling element; and,
when the rotational speed of the second drive mechanism is greater than the rotational speed for the first drive mechanism, the second freewheel device rotationally connects the second drive mechanism with the coupling element.
9. A pump drive system comprising:
a pump drive element rotatingly driving an input for a pump;
a first drive mechanism;
a second drive mechanism;
a coupling element rotationally fixed to the pump drive element and including a first surface facing radially inward and a second surface facing radially outward;
a first free wheel device engaged with the first surface; and,
a second free wheel device engaged with the second surface, wherein:
torque rotating the first drive mechanism at a rotational speed is able to rotate the second drive mechanism at the rotational speed;
when the rotational speed for the first drive mechanism is greater than a rotational speed for the second drive mechanism, the first freewheel device rotationally connects the first drive mechanism with the coupling element; and,
when the rotational speed for the second drive mechanism is greater than the rotational speed for the first drive mechanism, the second freewheel device rotationally connects the second drive mechanism with the coupling element.
