Description
- The present invention relates to an electric pump apparatus having a pump driven by an electric motor.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional drawing showing a conventional electric pump apparatus.
- For example, as shown in FIG. 1, an electric pump apparatus for supplying hydraulic oil to a hydraulic operating device such as a hydraulic actuator provided in a steering mechanism of an automobile includes a pump C provided with a drive shaft A and a pump housing B supporting the drive shaft A rotatably, an electric motor F provided with a motor shaft E interlocked and coupled to the drive shaft A via a shaft coupling D, and a sealing member G for sealing a circumference of the drive shaft A so as to prevent oil from leaking from the pump C into the electric motor F.
- A motor control device for controlling the electric motor F of the electric pump apparatus having the aforementioned arrangement is provided separately from the electric pump apparatus.
- However, in the electric pump apparatus having the arrangement such that the motor control device is provided separately, it is necessary to provide electric wiring for connecting the motor control device and the electric motor F, and further it is necessary to secure separate spaces where they are provided, so the provision is complicated.
- The present invention has been made with the aim of solving the above problems, and it is one object of the present invention to provide an electric pump apparatus having a motor control device for controlling an electric motor for driving a pump, which can be provided easily and can reduce the entire apparatus in size by providing the motor control device between the pump and the electric motor.
- An electric pump apparatus of the present invention includes a pump, an electric motor whose motor shaft is connected with a drive shaft supported rotatably to a housing of the pump via a shaft coupling, and a sealing member for sealing a circumference of the drive shaft, characterized in that a motor control device is provided between the electric motor and the shaft coupling.
- According to the present invention, since the motor control device is provided integrally to the pump and electric motor, the installation is easy, and the whole apparatus can be reduced in size.
- Another electric pump apparatus of the present invention is arranged so that in the aforementioned electric pump apparatus, the shaft coupling for coupling the drive shaft of the pump and the motor shaft of the electric motor is positioned on the side of the drive shaft with respect to the sealing member.
- According to the present invention, since the shaft coupling is positioned on the side of the drive shaft with respect to the sealing member for sealing the circumference of the shaft, in the case where the motor control device is placed between the pump and the electric motor, even if a wet-type shaft coupling with low cost is used, the motor control device is not likely to soak into liquid.
- In addition, in the electric pump apparatus, since oil leakage from the pump into the electric motor causes a malfunction of the electric motor, an inspection is made as to whether or not the leakage occurs from the sealing member. Then, leakage from the connected portion between the housing of the motor control device and the housing of the pump can be detected with the sealing member being detached, and the leakage from the sealing member can be detected with the sealing member being mounted. Therefore, for example, leakage from the hole for mounting a connector in the housing of the motor control device and leakage on the circumference of the shaft can be individually detected easily, and measures against leakage can be taken easily.
- Another electric pump apparatus of the present invention is arranged so that the housing of the pump includes accession means for the sealing member provided to a shaft hole penetrated by the drive shaft on the side of the drive shaft, and has a diameter larger than that of the shaft hole.
- Still another electric pump apparatus of the present invention is arranged so that the housing of the pump includes accession means for the shaft coupling provided to the shaft hole penetrated by the drive shaft on the side of the drive shaft, and has a diameter larger than that of the shaft hole.
- According to these inventions, since the accession means for the sealing member and shaft coupling are provided to the shaft hole on the side of the drive shaft, the sealing member is pressed against its accession means and can be received by the accession means by hydraulic which is transmitted from the pump via the shaft hole and acts upon the sealing member. Therefore, it is not necessary to additionally provide a fastener for the sealing member, and thus the cost can be further reduced.
