  By the way, the integral rotating body (including the rotating shaft and the like) including the motor rotor in the electric pump as described above is provided with a backlash (gap) in the axial direction, and has a problem that it easily vibrates. In particular, for example, in the case of an oil electric pump that is provided in an idling stop vehicle or a hybrid vehicle and stops when the engine is driven, the integral rotating body including the motor rotor is likely to vibrate due to engine vibration, for example, causing a large noise. There is a fear.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric pump capable of making a motor rotor difficult to vibrate.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a rotating shaft, a pump action portion provided on one end side of the rotating shaft, a motor rotor provided on the other end side of the rotating shaft, and an intermediate portion of the rotating shaft are rotated. A pump housing having a shaft support hole that is pivotally supported and a pump chamber constituting part of the pump chamber on one end side of the shaft support hole, and fixed to the other end side of the pump housing, The motor stator is housed and fixed, and includes an electric pump including a stator case that houses the motor rotor inside the motor stator, and at the one end side in the pump chamber, a suction port and a discharge port are provided, the motor stator, the axial center is provided so that the position displaced to the other end side than the axial center of the motor rotor, the pump housing and the stay Both cases are made of metal, and the stator case is stamped on the other end of the pump housing, and on the other end of the pump housing is a pump housing side stamping portion protruding toward the motor rotor side. The stator case includes a large cylindrical portion to which the motor stator is fixed on an inner periphery thereof, a disk portion extending radially inward from one end portion of the large cylindrical portion, and an axial direction from the inner edge of the disk portion. A stator case-side stamped tube portion that extends toward the end portion and has the pump housing-side stamped portion fitted on the inner peripheral surface thereof, and a seal member is provided between the stator case and the pump housing. is the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the stator case side spigot tubular section of the pump housing side spigot part is summarized in that it is set larger than the inner diameter of the motor stator

According to this configuration, the motor stator is provided such that its axial center is displaced to the other end side from the axial center of the motor rotor, so that the motor rotor is always biased to the other end side. It becomes a state and can be made hard to vibrate compared with the state which is not energized. Therefore, for example, when vibration is applied from the outside in a state where the electric pump is not operated, wear of the shaft support hole can be suppressed, and as a result, noise when the electric pump is operated can be reduced.

  According to this configuration, the motor stator is provided so that the axial center thereof is displaced to the other end side from the axial center of the motor rotor, so that the motor rotor and the pump rotor are always biased to the other end side. It will be in the state. In addition, a suction port and a discharge port are provided on one end side in the pump chamber, and the biasing direction described above is the same as the direction in which the pump rotor is biased by the oil on the discharge port side (one end side), and the other end The energizing effect to the side becomes large. Therefore, the wear of the shaft support hole can be further suppressed, and as a result, the effect of maintaining high pump performance and high quietness for a long time when the electric pump is operated can be further improved.

  According to this configuration, since the pump housing and the stator case are stamped and fitted with each other, for example, the stator case needs a cutting process for removing a draft, such as a resin case. Without this, the coaxiality of the motor rotor on the pump housing side and the motor stator on the stator case side can be enhanced. As a result, for example, high pump performance and high silence can be obtained.

It becomes the same, and the urging effect to the other end side becomes large.

  A circuit case member 4 is fixed to the opening on the other end side of the stator case 3 (large cylinder portion 3a). Specifically, a flange portion 3d extending outward in the radial direction is formed in the opening on the other end side of the stator case 3 (large cylinder portion 3a), and the flange portion 3d has an axial direction as shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, the caulking piece 3e and the caulking portion 4e form a holding structure that disables relative movement between the stator case 3 and the circuit case member 4. This holding structure fixes the stator case 3 and the circuit case member 4, but is a temporary holding structure as an electric pump, and is finally firmly fixed by a through bolt 12 described later.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the circuit case member 4 has an inwardly extending portion 4f extending inward (in the direction perpendicular to the axis) from the other end side (right side in FIG. 1) of the internal fitting cylindrical portion 4a. And a plurality of lead-out holding grooves 4g serving as lead-out holding portions for holding the coil connection end portion 6c of the motor stator 6 (winding 6b) and leading it to the other end side.

Fixed to.

Next, the operation (operation) of the above embodiment will be described.
When a current (three-phase drive current) is supplied from an external power source (not shown) to the winding 6b of the motor stator 6 via the connection terminal 17 of the connector portion 4d and the circuit components of the circuit board 23, a rotating magnetic field is generated in the motor stator 6. Based on the generated rotating magnetic field, the rotating member including the motor rotor 9, the rotating shaft 7, and the pump rotor 8 is integrally rotated. Then, as the pump rotor 8 rotates, oil is sucked from the suction port 2a and oil is discharged from the discharge port 2b.

Next, the characteristic effects of the above embodiment will be described below.
(1) Since the motor stator 6 is provided such that its axial center is shifted from the axial center of the motor rotor 9 in the axial direction, the motor rotor 9 is always attached to one end side in the axial direction. It becomes a biased state, and it can be made hard to vibrate compared with the state which is not biased. Thus, for example, noise can be reduced. In particular, for example, in the case of an electric pump that is provided in an idling stop vehicle or a hybrid vehicle and stops when the engine is driven, the integral rotating body including the motor rotor 9 is likely to vibrate due to engine vibration. Noise and the like can be reduced. Further, by suppressing the vibration, the wear of the shaft support hole 1a can be suppressed, and as a result, noise when the electric pump is operated can be reduced.

  (2) Since the motor stator 6 is provided such that its axial center is displaced to the other end side from the axial center of the motor rotor 9, the motor rotor 9 and the pump rotor 8 are always attached to the other end side. It will be in a state of power. Further, a discharge port 2b is provided on one end side in the pump chamber P, and the biasing direction described above is the same as the direction in which the pump rotor 8 is biased by the oil on the discharge port 2b side (one end side). The biasing effect toward the end side is large. Therefore, wear of the shaft support hole 1a can be further suppressed, and as a result, the effect of maintaining high pump performance and high silence when the electric pump is operated can be further improved.

  (3) Since the pump housing 1 and the stator case 3 are stamped and fitted with each other by metal, for example, the stator case needs a cutting process for removing a draft angle like a resin case. The coaxiality of the motor rotor 9 on the pump housing 1 side and the motor stator 6 on the stator case 3 side can be enhanced. As a result, for example, high pump performance and high silence can be obtained.

  (4) The diameter of the seal fitting part between the pump housing 1 and the stator case 3 (that is, the outer diameter of the pump housing side stamping cylinder part 1c and the inner diameter of the stator case side stamping cylinder part 3c) is larger than the inner diameter of the motor stator 6. Since it is set larger, for example, the coaxiality can be made higher than that set to be the same as the inner diameter of the motor stator 6. Further, for example, if the diameter of the stamping fitting portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the motor stator 6, it becomes necessary to assemble the motor rotor from the other end side of the rotating shaft after fitting the stamping stamp. After the rotary shaft 7, the pump rotor 8, and the motor rotor 9 are all assembled to the pump housing 1, it can be easily assembled by fitting with a stamp. Further, in this case, by using the stamping fitting portion as a guide at the time of assembly, the assembly can be performed while preventing the interference between the motor stator 6 and the motor rotor 9.

  (5) The pump housing 1 and the stator case 3 are fastened by through bolts 12 that extend between the axial ends on the side away from each other (from the pump end plate 2 that is a member at both ends of the electric pump to the heat sink cover 5). Fixed. Therefore, compared with the case where it fastens and fixes with the volt | bolt etc. inside the axial direction edge parts on the side which mutually spaces apart, mutually becomes difficult to incline and can maintain high coaxiality.

  (6) Since the stator case 3 is made of a metal plate material, the stator case 3 can be manufactured at low cost while making the stator case 3 highly rigid (compared to resin or the like). The stator case 3 includes a large cylindrical portion 3a to which the motor stator 6 is fixed on its inner periphery, a disk portion 3b extending radially inward from one end of the large cylindrical portion 3a, and an axial direction from the inner edge of the disk portion 3b. And a stator case-side stamping cylinder portion 3c, which extends to the other end side of the casing and is fitted with a pump housing-side stamping cylinder portion 1c on its inner peripheral surface. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the coaxiality by fitting the seal stamp within a long range in the axial direction (in this embodiment, the same length as the stator case side stamp cylinder portion 3c).

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
In the above embodiment, the stator case 3 has the large cylinder portion 3a, the disk portion 3b, and the stator case side imprint cylinder portion 3c. The pump housing side imprint cylinder portion 1c is provided on the stator case side imprint cylinder portion 3c. Although it is assumed that the seal is fitted (within a long range in the axial direction), the shape and configuration of the portion may be changed as long as the seal fits with the pump housing.

  For example, as shown in FIG. The stator case 31 is made of a metal plate, and has a large cylindrical portion 31a to which the motor stator 6 is fixed on the inner periphery thereof, and extends radially inward from one end portion of the large cylindrical portion 31a to the inner peripheral surface of the stator case 31 on the pump housing side. The cylindrical part 1c has a stator case side stamping disc part 31b to which the stamping is fitted. In this case, since the stator case 31 is made of a metal plate material, the stator case can be manufactured at a low cost while having high rigidity (compared to a resin case or the like). In addition, the stator case 31 can be manufactured at a lower cost as a simple shape compared to the above-described embodiment having the stator case side stamped cylinder portion 3c.

  -Although the axial length (thickness) of each part was constant in the rotor core 15 of the said embodiment, it is not limited to this, The axial direction length of the radial direction inner part into which the rotating shaft 7 is press-fitted May be formed shorter than the axial length of the radially outer portion.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. In the rotor core 41 of this example, the axial length of the radially inner portion 41a is formed short, so that an anti-pump side annular recess 41b is formed on the opposite side (right side in the drawing) of the pump housing 1.

  In this way, the weight of the rotor core 41 can be reduced. Therefore, for example, the weight moment on the motor rotor 9 side can be reduced and set to easily match the weight moment on the pump rotor 8 side. Further, since the anti-pump side annular recess 41b is formed on the opposite side of the pump housing 1 (the right side in the figure and far from the shaft support hole 1a), the pump side annular recess is formed only on the pump housing 1 side. The weight moment on the motor rotor 9 side can be made smaller than that of the motor. Therefore, for example, the weight moment on the motor rotor 9 side and the weight moment on the pump rotor 8 side can be set so as to easily match.

  Further, for example, it may be changed as shown in FIG. In the rotor core 42 of this example, a pump-side annular recess 42b is formed on the pump housing 1 side by forming the radially inner portion 42a to have a short axial length. At least a part (all in this example) of the oil seal 11 is disposed in the pump-side annular recess 42b.

  In this way, the weight of the rotor core 42 can be reduced. Therefore, for example, the weight moment on the motor rotor 9 side can be reduced and set to easily match the weight moment on the pump rotor 8 side. In addition, since at least a part (all in this example) of the oil seal 11 is disposed in the pump-side annular recess 42b, the oil-seal 11 is not disposed in the pump-side annular recess 42b (for example, the above embodiment (see FIG. 1) and Compared to another example (see FIG. 6A)), the entire axial length of the electric pump can be shortened.

  For example, as shown in FIG.6 (c), you may change. In the rotor core 43 in this example, the axial length of the radially inner portion 43a is formed to be short, so that an anti-pump side annular recess 43b is formed on the opposite side of the pump housing 1 and the pump side on the pump housing 1 side. An annular recess 43c is formed. In the pump-side annular recess 43c, at least a part of the oil seal 11 (substantially half in this example) is disposed. Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the effect of the said other example can be acquired.

  In the above-described embodiment, the diameter of the seal fitting portion between the pump housing 1 and the stator case 3 (that is, the outer diameter of the pump housing side stamping cylinder portion 1c and the inner diameter of the stator case side stamping cylinder portion 3c) is the motor stator 6 However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be set to be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the pump housing 1 and the stator case 3 extend through the axial ends on the side away from each other (from the pump end plate 2 that is a member at both ends of the electric pump to the heat sink cover 5). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be fixed by another configuration.

  In the above embodiment, the resin case member 4 is sandwiched between the stator case 3 and the heat sink cover 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and this portion may be changed to another configuration.

In the above embodiment, the heat dissipating fin portion 5d protruding in the axial direction is formed on the back surface of the small recess 5c of the heat sink cover 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the heat dissipating fin portion 5d is not formed. A heat sink cover may be used, and a heat radiating fin portion may be formed on the back surface of the large recess 5b.

  In the above embodiment, the power transistor 22 is accommodated in the small recess 5c. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the power transistor 22 may not be accommodated. The power transistor 22 is in contact with the bottom surface of the small recess 5c via the silicone rubber 24. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the configuration does not include the silicone rubber 24 and does not contact the bottom surface of the small recess 5c. It is good.

  In the above embodiment, the circuit case member 4 has the lead-out holding groove 4g, and the stator case 3 and the circuit case member 4 have the holding structure portion (the caulking piece 3e and the caulking portion 4e) that cannot move relative to each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured not to have the lead-out holding groove 4g and the holding structure part (the caulking piece 3e and the caulking part 4e). In addition, the lead-out holding groove 4g (lead-out holding portion) of the above-described embodiment is only required to hold the coil connection end 6c and lead out to the circuit accommodating recess 5a side. It may be changed.

In the above embodiment, the rotor core 15 is a laminated core formed by laminating core sheets, but is not limited thereto, and may be changed to a rotor core made of sintered metal, for example.
In the above embodiment, the motor rotor 9 is a continuous pole type rotor, but is not limited to this, and may be changed to another type of rotor.

  In the above embodiment, the rotating member including the rotating shaft 7, the pump rotor 8, and the motor rotor 9 has the weight moment on the pump rotor 8 side from the axial center of the shaft support hole 1 a and the axial center of the shaft support hole 1 a. Although the setting is made so that the weight moment on the motor rotor 9 side coincides, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may not be set as described above.

  In the above embodiment, the motor stator 6 is provided so that its axial center is displaced to the other end side, that is, the side away from the pump chamber P, from the axial center of the motor rotor 9. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be provided so as to be displaced to one end side, that is, the pump chamber P side.

  In the above embodiment, the motor rotor 9 is a flat rotor whose diameter is larger than the axial length, but is not limited thereto, and may be changed to a rotor whose axial length is larger than the diameter. .

  In the above embodiment, the pump rotor 8 (pump action part) is of the inscribed gear type. However, if the fluid can be sucked and discharged, the pump rotor 8 (pump action part) can be changed to another pump rotor (pump action part). Good.

The technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiments will be described below together with the effects thereof.

Diameter of spigot engagement portion (b) and before Symbol pump housing and the stator case, you characterized in that it is set larger than the inner diameter of the motor stator.

  According to this configuration, since the diameter of the seal fitting portion between the pump housing and the stator case is set larger than the inner diameter of the motor stator, for example, the coaxiality is higher than that set to be the same as the inner diameter of the motor stator. Can be made higher. In addition, for example, if the diameter of the stamp fitting part is smaller than the inner diameter of the motor stator, it is necessary to assemble the motor rotor from the other end of the rotary shaft after fitting the stamp stamp. After assembling all of the shaft, the pump operating portion, and the motor rotor, it can be easily assembled by fitting with a stamp. Further, in this case, by using the stamping fitting portion as a guide at the time of assembly, the assembly can be performed while preventing interference between the motor stator and the motor rotor.

(B) the previous SL pump housing and the stator case, characterized in that it is fastened by a through bolt over the axial end portion of the side between spaced apart from each other.

  According to this configuration, the pump housing and the stator case are fastened and fixed by the through bolts extending between the axial ends on the sides that are separated from each other. Compared with the case where it is fastened and fixed by, it becomes difficult for each other to incline, and coaxiality can be maintained high.

(C) before SL stator case is made of a metal plate, a large-cylinder unit of which the motor stator in the circumferential is fixed, and a disk portion extending radially inwardly from one end of the large cylindrical portion, the inner edge of the circular platen the pump housing on its inner circumferential surface extending to the other end side in the axial direction from the you; and a stator case side spigot tube portion to be fitted spigot.

  According to this configuration, since the stator case is made of a metal plate material, the stator case can be manufactured at low cost while having high rigidity. The stator case has a large cylindrical portion to which the motor stator is fixed on an inner periphery thereof, a disk portion extending radially inward from one end portion of the large cylindrical portion, and an inner edge of the disk portion toward the other end portion in the axial direction. Since it has a stator case side stamping cylinder part that extends and has an inner peripheral surface on which the pump housing is stamped and fitted, it can be stamped and fitted in a long range in the axial direction to improve the coaxiality.
