| 20150086405 | ELECTRIC OIL PUMP - An electric oil pump includes a rotor driven to rotate by a motor and a pump body having a pump chamber accommodating the rotor, an intake port for introducing oil into the pump chamber according to rotation of the rotor, a discharge port for discharging oil from the pump chamber according to rotation of the rotor, a first discharge passage communicated to a first communication hole provided in the discharge port and circulating oil discharged from the discharge port, the first discharge passage having a smaller cross sectional area than the discharge port, and a second discharge passage communicated to a second communication hole provided in the discharge port separately from the first communication hole and circulating oil discharged from the discharge port, the second discharge passage having a smaller cross sectional area than the discharge port. | 03-26-2015 |
| 20150322945 | Rotary Fluid Machine - A rotary fluid machine that reduces fluid leakage from a gear pump or gear motor and achieves improvement in responsiveness is provided. The present invention is configured such that force of pressing a side plate toward gears by a seal member provided between the side plate and a case and performing pressure compartment is partly strong, not uniform along the entire length of the seal member. Specifically, for example, a gear pump comprises an assembly including a pair of gears, a side plate sealing a side surface of the gears, and a seal block sealing tooth tips of the gears, a case housing the pump assembly, and a seal member being arranged between the side plate or the seal block and the case and along a notch portion formed in the side plate or the seal block. The seal member is wider at a portion in a position passing through a place with large pressure fluctuations than at other portions. | 11-12-2015 |
