  • Patent number: 8657073
    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus is capable of easily passing lubricant toward a seal arranged between a higher shat and an opening of a case of the apparatus. The apparatus includes the higher shaft, i.e., a hollow connecting shaft that faces the outside of the transfer case through the opening of the transfer case. The oil seal is arranged between the hollow shaft and the opening of the transfer case. The hollow shaft meshes, through helical spur gears, with an intermediate transferring shaft that is positioned lower than the hollow shaft. A lubricant guide is arranged to receive lubricant splashed up by the ring gear and helical spur gear of the intermediate shaft and guide the received lubricant toward the oil seal and a ball bearing.

  • Patent number: 8297307
    Abstract: To provide a relief valve structure for an oil pump, which is capable of appropriately controlling/switching the discharge pressure and flow rate of oil to an optimum condition in low, middle and high speed regions of an engine. The relief valve structure has: a relief valve having formed therein a valve flow path for communicating between a valve head part and an outer circumferential side part; a valve housing in which a valve passage accommodating the relief valve is formed; a relief flow-in part formed on an axial direction one end side of the valve passage and communicating with the valve passage; a first discharge part formed in the valve housing and communicating with the valve flow path by the movement of the relief valve; and a second discharge part that is opened by allowing the valve head part to pass therethrough. The second discharge part is positioned nearer to the relief flow-in part than the first discharge part.

  • Patent number: 7717689
    Abstract: To provide a rotor apparatus of a pump in which pressure release in the air gap between an oil seal and an inner rotor is conducted smoothly and good durability and sealing ability of the oil seal is maintained and which has a very simple structure and allows the increase in size to be avoided. The rotor apparatus of a pump includes a drive shaft in which a plurality of arcuate circumferential surface sections centering on an axial center and a plurality of flat surface sections are disposed alternately, and an inner rotor having a mounting hole into which the drive shaft is inserted. In the mounting hole, arcuate inner peripheral sections corresponding and equal in number to the arcuate circumferential surface sections and flat surface inner peripheral sections corresponding and equal in number to the flat surface sections are formed alternately.

  • Patent number: 7488163
    Abstract: A trochoid oil pump, which enables the endurance to be increased and the reduction of discharge pulsations and noise to be achieved, and in which those results can be realized with a very simple structure. An interdental space constituted by an inner rotor and an outer rotor having trochoid tooth profile or substantially trochoid tooth profile starts a compression stroke in the location of a partition section between an intake port and a discharge portion, and a linking gap L is composed by the interdental space and a preceding adjacent interdental space realized in a discharge stroke. The linking gap expands gradually from the start of compression stroke to the discharge stroke.

  • Patent number: 7435066
    Abstract: The present invention provides an oil pump in which eroding of the inside of the pump due to cavitation and erosion is prevented by minimizing the pressure change in a fluid when inter-tooth spaces formed by an inner rotor and an outer rotor transport the fluid from the intake port to the discharge port. The oil pump comprises: an inner rotor; an outer rotor; an intake port; a discharge port; a transfer side partition part formed between a terminal end of the intake port and a leading end of the discharge port; and a shallow groove which is formed in the transfer side partition part, and which communicates with the discharge port but does not communicate with the intake port. The shallow groove does not intersect with the cell on the transfer side partition part, and is positioned farther inward than the circular locus of the gear bottom parts of the inner rotor.
