Abstract: A water pump has a pump housing (2) having therein a pump chamber (3); a drive shaft (7) rotatably supported in the pump housing (2); a pulley (5) having a flange wall (5a) fixed to one end portion of the drive shaft (7), the pulley (5) being formed integrally with the drive shaft (7) with synthetic resin material containing glass fiber material (25); and an impeller (8) secured to the other end portion of the drive shaft (7) so as to be able to rotate integrally with the drive shaft (7), the impeller (8) being accommodated in the pump chamber (3). Six penetration holes (23) are formed at the flange wall (5a), and the glass fiber material (25) existing around the penetration hole (23) is oriented at random. With this, decrease in strength of the pulley (5) can be suppressed.

Abstract: A pump is provided which includes a pump housing, a drive shaft rotatably installed in the pump housing through a ball bearing, a pulley integrally connected to one end of the drive shaft through a flange wall, an impeller connected to the other end of the drive shaft, a cylindrical base part integrally connected to an outer periphery of the flange wall and six through openings formed in an outer peripheral part of the flange wall, in which each of the through openings has, at a generally middle part of a bottom surface of an inner surface thereof, a pathway groove that extends substantially along an inner cylindrical surface of the cylindrical base part, so that the performance of discharging water, dust and the like from the through openings formed in the flange wall is increased.

Abstract: Water pump has a drive shaft inside pump housing, a pulley provided at one end of drive shaft, and impeller fitted onto other end portion of drive shaft through fitting hole. Restraining part restraining maximum fitting position of impeller in axial direction is provided between other end portion of drive shaft and fitting hole of the impeller, fixing member restraining axial direction movement of impeller positioned in the maximum fitting position in cooperation with restraining part is provided at tip end side of other end portion of the drive shaft, and the cross-sectional shape of fitting part, which is fitted into fitting hole of the impeller, of other end portion of drive shaft is formed as a rotation restraining part, and cross-sectional shape of fitting hole of impeller is formed into same cross-sectional shape as fitting part of other end portion of drive shaft, as rotation restraining part.

Abstract: In a water pump, a reinforcement rib is integrally installed on either an outer surface or an inner surface of a flange wall of a pulley and radially extended toward an outer direction from a center side at which one end section of a drive shaft is coupled.
