Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine equipment, specifically, a variable displacement engine oil pump and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of modern society, as an important means of transportation, cars have entered people's lives more and more. The performance and service life of the engine, as the core component of the car engine, are directly affected by the lubrication system. The lubrication system of the traditional car engine is simply driven by the rotating shaft of the engine to rotate the rotor of the oil pump, thereby driving a plurality of blades provided on the rotor to rotate. The eccentricity of the oil pump inner cavity and the rotating shaft causes the chambers surrounded by the plurality of blades during the rotation of the blades to be compressed and expanded, ultimately achieving negative pressure oil absorption and high pressure oil delivery.

[0003] Based on the upgrading of the traditional oil pump structure, the most widely used engine oil pump is a variable displacement oil pump. The design principle of the variable displacement oil pump is that a plurality of oil storage grooves extending along the axial direction and distributed along the circumferential direction are provided on the outer circumferential wall of the rotor. The two side walls of each oil storage groove and the outer circumferential wall of the rotor are continuously smooth arc transitions. The oil storage grooves are separated by the rotor and the blades. The pump cavity is provided with an eccentric ring structure for oil compression. The geometric center of the eccentric ring structure does not coincide with the axis of the rotor, so the blades arranged circumferentially around the rotor axis divide the inner cavity of the eccentric ring into a plurality of cavities of different volumes. Thus, when the rotor drives the blades to rotate, the different cavities are continuously compressed and expanded. The size of the eccentric distance determines the volume difference between the different cavities. Therefore, the larger the eccentric distance, the greater the compression and expansion. The rotation of the rotor drives the eccentric ring structure to make reciprocating swing motion around a certain rotation center located at the edge or outside of the main structure of the eccentric ring structure, completing the oil compression and output.

[0004] However, although this variable displacement oil pump design can achieve the variable displacement output function that traditional oil pumps do not have, it also has certain structural defects, specifically: the structure is complex, especially the movement matching structure of the eccentric ring such as the swing center structure around it, the assembly steps of the rotating shaft are more, and currently even cannot be automatically assembled, completely relying on manual assembly, which has a great adverse effect on the assembly efficiency of the oil pump, and there is a risk of misassembly and missed assembly of manual assembly.
