Electromotive coolant pump

1. An electrically motorized coolant pump, comprising:

a suction side having two suction-side intake ducts and a pressure side having a pressure-side outflow duct for a coolant;

a pump housing having a housing section and a pump chamber;

a pump impeller being driven in said pump chamber;

a control actuator disposed in said housing section between said suction side and said pressure side and hydraulically actuated in response to a demand for coolant;

a control element coupled to said control actuator to open and close said intake ducts;

said control actuator having at least one of a diaphragm disposed in said pump housing in a coolant-tight manner or a control piston, said diaphragm or control piston being connected or coupled to said control element; and

said housing section having an actuator chamber connected to said pump chamber by a pressure opening for hydraulically actuating said control actuator.

2. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , which further comprises an electrically controllable control valve for closing said pressure opening.

3. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 2 , wherein said control valve is open in a non-energized state.

4. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , wherein said control actuator is axially displaceable in said housing section of said pump housing.

5. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , wherein said housing section includes a central inflow duct issuing on said suction side by way of said control element into said intake ducts and issuing on said pressure side into said pump chamber towards said pump impeller.

6. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 5 , wherein said control actuator encompasses said inflow duct in an annular manner and seals said actuator chamber.

7. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 5 , which further comprises an electrically controllable control valve, said pump chamber being connected to said inflow duct by another pressure opening to be activated by said electrically controllable control valve.

8. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 7 , wherein said electrically controllable control valve is closed in a non-energized state.

9. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , which further comprises:

a restoring element connected upstream of said control actuator in a starting position in which a first one of said intake ducts is open and a second one of said intake ducts is closed; and

said control element, as a result of a hydraulic actuation of said control actuator, closing said first intake duct against a force of said restoring element and opening said second intake duct.

10. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , which further comprises a control gear coupling said control piston to said control element.

11. The electrically motorized coolant pump according to claim 1 , which further comprises:

a bypass flow circuit not having a cooling element;

a cooling element circuit of a coolant circulation of a motor vehicle engine;

said pump housing including a pressure connecting piece disposed in a vicinity of said housing section and opening out of said pump chamber;

said pump housing including a bypass flow connecting piece disposed on a cover side and opening into a first one of said intake ducts so as to connect to said bypass flow circuit; and

said pump housing including an intake connecting piece opening into a second one of said intake ducts so as to connect to said cooling element circuit.
