Patent ID: 11549508

Abstract:
The invention relates to a vane pump for conveying liquids, in particular viscous oils, which vane pump includes: a rotor having sliding slots in which movable vanes are held and can be countersunk in relation to a rotor radius (r); a pump housing including a pump chamber, which encloses the rotor; and an inlet and an outlet, which open into the pump chamber at at least one end face of the rotor; radial elevations protruding, with respect to the sliding slots, over the circumference of the rotor, which elevations form a rotor radius (r) on either side of the vanes that can be countersunk, and radial pockets being recessed, relative to the rotor radius (r), between the radial elevations. Within the radial elevations, recesses are formed on the at least one end face of the rotor at which the inlet and the outlet open, which recesses provide rotating anticipatory control geometry for reducing pressure spikes in the vane cells.
