Abstract: The rotary electric machine includes a motor unit, and an inverter unit having a power module, a field module, and a cooler. The cooler includes a heat transfer member having, on the one-side surface, a channel groove recessed toward the other side, a lid member, a sealing agent, and a coolant supply/discharge unit; and the lid member is fixed to the heat transfer member with a screw hole, a through hole, and a screw; and, at a position between the screw hole and the through hole, and the channel groove, a recess is provided on one or both of the one-side surface of the heat transfer member and the other-side surface of the lid member, and the sealing agent is applied on the side closer to the channel groove than the recess while no sealing agent is applied on the side closer to the screw hole than the recess.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine such that a power supply unit can be efficiently cooled, with no increase in size in an axial direction of the rotating electrical machine, is provided. A rotating electrical machine main body and a power supply unit are integrally fixed, and a refrigerant passage is provided on the rotating electrical machine main body side of a metal frame configuring the power supply unit. The refrigerant passage and a control part that controls power supplied to the rotating electrical machine main body are disposed in the same plane in an axial direction of the rotating electrical machine main body, and the refrigerant passage is disposed farther to a radial direction outer side of the rotating electrical machine main body than the control part.

Abstract: In the present invention, polishing lines 71f are connected to an outer circumferential high-pressure region, but are not connected to each area that is a low-pressure region. In this configuration, the polishing lines 71f are connected to the outer circumferential high-pressure region where there is high discharge pressure, so high-pressure brake fluid is introduced within the polishing lines 71f. Therefore, a pushback effect is obtained, wherein gear pumps 19 and 39 are pushed back on the basis of the high-pressure brake fluid pressure. Furthermore, the polishing lines 71f are connected to the outer circumferential high-pressure region but are not connected to each area that is a low-pressure region, so high-pressure can be maintained within the polishing lines 71f, and a reduction in the pushback effect can be prevented. Accordingly, a decrease in the loss torque reduction effect can be prevented, and the loss torque can be further reduced.

Abstract: A gear pump apparatus includes a gear pump and a sealing mechanism which includes an annular rubber member, an outer member, and an inner member. One of the outer member and a casing of the gear pump apparatus has a contact member located outside a portion of the outer member which contacts the gear pump in a radial direction of the gear pump. The contact member is placed to create a physical contact between the outer member and the casing to absorb a part of force by which the outer member is pressed against the gear pump. This results in a decrease in pressure acting on an area of contact between the outer member and the gear pump, which leads to a drop in resistance to sliding between the gear pump and the outer member, thus decreasing a loss of torque required for the pumping operation of the gear pump.

Abstract: A gear pump apparatus is equipped with a pump and a sealing mechanism which is made up of an outer member, an inner member, and a rubber member fit between the outer and inner members. The inner member has a pressure-exerted surface to which pressure, as produced by contact of the rubber member with the inner member arising from application of discharge pressure of the pump, is applied. The pressure-exerted surface has a flange which creates thrust to move the inner member away from the gear pump, thereby bringing the inner member against an inner wall of a pump casing to develop a hermetical seal between a high-pressure region and a low-pressure region within the pump casing. This eliminates the leakage of pressure and ensures torque required for a pumping operation of the pump.
