  • Patent number: 7165955
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a trochoid type oil pump in which erosion of the rotor surfaces caused by cavitation is minimized, vibration and noise are reduced, and the structure is greatly simplified. The trochoid type oil pump of the present invention comprises a rotor chamber which has an intake port and a discharge port, an outer rotor, an inner rotor, and shallow grooves which are formed on the side of the initial end portion of the discharge port on the circular circumference of the track of the positions of the bottom portions of the teeth created by the rotation of the outer rotor. In a state in which the sealed spaces formed by the outer rotor, the inner rotor and a partition part between the final end portion of the intake port and the initial end portion of the discharge port are reduced in volume from the maximum volume, the sealed spaces Sa are caused to communicate with the shallow grooves.

  • Publication number: 20060216187
    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.

  • Publication number: 20060140809
    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.

  • Publication number: 20060100053
    Abstract: A partition structure of a power train device is provided with: a second differential coupled with an external first differential so as to receive a driving force input to the first differential; a case having a first end facing to the first differential, a second end opposed to the first end and a wall defining the case, the case rotatably housing the second differential and an oil for lubrication of the second differential; and a seal member disposed at the first end of the case and between the first differential and the second differential so as to prevent the oil in the case from mixing with an external fluid existing outside with respect to the case and the seal member.

  • Patent number: 5400000
    Abstract: Two coil electrode patterns are formed on one surface of a plate containing a dielectric material. These coil electrode patterns are formed in a loop shape, and disposed in a magnetically connected state with each other. Input/output terminal patterns and earth terminal patterns are drawn out from the coil electrode patterns toward edges on different sides of the plate. The input/output terminal pattern and the earth terminal pattern of one coil electrode pattern are disposed at a selected distance from each other so as to provide a predetermined impedance. An earth electrode pattern is formed opposite the coil electrode patterns with the plate between them. Earth terminal patterns are connected to the earth electrode pattern. The earth terminal patterns of the earth electrode pattern are connected to the earth terminal patterns of the coil electrode patterns. A trimming electrode may be formed for adjusting the passing band frequency of the band-pass filter optionally.

An earth electrode pattern is drawn out from the center coil electrode pattern. An earth electrode pattern is formed opposite the coil electrode patterns with the plate between them. Earth terminal patterns are formed to the earth electrode pattern. The earth terminal patterns of the earth electrode pattern are connected to the earth terminal patterns of the coil electrode patterns.
