A rotary pump for producing a pressure medium flow for a consumer, includes a pump housing in which a curved ring is inserted. A rotor is rotatably borne on a drive shaft in the curved ring. The rotor carries displacement elements at a tangential distance to one another which form a pump chamber between the rotor and the curved ring with a suction opening. A pressure medium-activated adjusting device is operable for changing the eccentricity of the curved ring relative to the rotor, and includes a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber fluidically and tangentially distanced from the first pressure chamber The pressure in the first and second pressure chambers is controlled by a flow control valve, the low pressure chamber of which communicates with a first control line on a downstream side of a metering orifice. The first control line, as seen from the rotational direction of the rotor, opens at the beginning of the pressure opening such that a tangential pulse of the pressure medium is led to the metering orifice and a second control line opens at a secondary connector into the pressure opening such that a tangential and radial pulse of the pressure medium is led to a high pressure chamber of the flow control valve.
1. A rotary pump for producing a pressure medium flow for a consumer, comprising:
a pump housing;
a curved ring being inserted in said pump housing;
a drive shaft;
a rotor that is rotatably borne on the drive shaft being received in said curved ring;
displacement elements carried at a circumferential distance to one another on said rotor which, between said rotor and said curved ring, form a first pump chamber having a suction opening and a second pump chamber having a pressure opening;
a pressure medium-activated adjusting device for changing an eccentricity of said curved ring relative to said rotor, said pressure medium-activated adjusting device including a first pressure chamber between an exterior of said curved ring and a wall in said pump housing and a second chamber between said exterior of said curved ring and said wall, said second chamber being separated fluidically and circumferentially distanced from said first pressure chamber;
a flow control valve operable for controlling the pressure in said first and second pressure chambers;
a first control line leading from the pressure opening of the second pump chamber;
a metering orifice being disposed in said first control line, said flow control valve including a low pressure chamber which communicates with said first control line on a downstream side of the metering orifice, said first control line, as seen from a rotational direction of the rotor, opening at a beginning of said pressure opening in a primary connector into said pressure opening such that a circumferential pulse of the pressure medium is led to said metering orifice, said primary connector being disposed in a first third of said pressure opening with regard to a circumferential extension of said pressure opening, as seen from the rotational direction of said rotor; and
a second control line opening at a secondary connector into said pressure opening such that another circumferential pulse and a radial pulse of the pressure medium is led to a high pressure chamber of said flow control valve.
2. A rotary pump according to claim 1 , wherein said secondary connector of said second control line is arranged on an end of said pressure opening on a radially exterior side of said pressure opening with respect to said circumferential extension of said pressure opening, as seen from the rotational direction of said rotor.
