  • Publication number: 20180172000
    Abstract: A gear pump having a suction port, first and second discharge ports, an inner rotor having external teeth, an outer rotor having internal teeth such that the number of the internal teeth is larger than that of the external teeth of the inner rotor, and inter-tooth chambers defined by the external teeth and the internal teeth. The first and second discharge ports are in communication with the inter-tooth chamber whose volume is decreased along with rotation of the inner rotor etc. An inter-tooth chamber which has been brought out of communication with the second discharge port is brought into communication with the suction port while the volume is decreasing. The volume of the inter-tooth chamber which has been brought out of communication with the second discharge port is increased after at least a part of the inter-tooth chamber has been brought into communication with the suction port.

  • Publication number: 20170370359
    Abstract: A plurality of external teeth of an inner rotor are formed such that an intake-side clearance is larger than a discharge-side clearance. The intake-side clearance denotes a minimum value of a clearance between an external tooth and an internal tooth defining an inter-teeth chamber which communicates with an intake port and in which an amount of change in volume during rotation of the inner rotor by a unit angle is maximized. The discharge-side clearance denotes a minimum value of a clearance between an external tooth and an internal tooth defining the inter-teeth chamber which at least partially overlaps with a partition wall a first discharge port and a second discharge port when the amount of change in volume per unit angle is maximized.

  • Publication number: 20170074263
    Abstract: A check valve provided makes it possible to operate a vane pump smoothly even at the start of the vane pump by maintaining an oil pressure in backpressure oil passages inside the vane pump while the vane pump is stopped. The check valve opens at the point in time when an oil pressure control device, to which a working fluid is supplied from the vane pump, has been filled with the working fluid and the oil pressure in discharge oil passages communicating with the oil pressure control device has risen and exceeded the oil pressure in the backpressure oil passages. Thus, the check valve is prevented from opening and closing repeatedly, so that the durability of the check valve is improved.

  • Publication number: 20170074262
    Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic device is provided with an electric motor-driven oil pump and a shuttle valve, so that a vane pump operates smoothly, even at the start, with a backpressure applied from the electric motor-driven oil pump to the vanes. Even when the oil pressure of a working fluid discharged from the vane pump exceeds the backpressure inside vane housing grooves, the working fluid flows from a vane pump discharge oil passage to a backpressure oil passage, so that the vanes are not pushed into the housing grooves. Thus, it is possible to reduce the fluctuations in discharge amount of the vane pump due to fluctuations in oil pressure of the vane pump discharge oil passage during operation of the vane pump.
