Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to improvements in a vehicular vane-type vacuum pump.
- Fig. 9 is a sectional side view showing one example of a conventional vehicular vane-type vacuum pump, and Fig. 10 is a sectional view showing a spline coupling between a rotor and a shaft of the conventional vehicular vane-type vacuum pump shown in Fig. 9. As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the conventional vehicular vane-type vacuum pump defines a hermetic space by a cylindrical housing 4 having a suction port 1 and a
discharge port 2 and bracket 5 connected together bybolts 3. The bracket 5 rotatably supports a shaft 7 by a bearing 8, and the shaft 7 has provided thereon arotor 9 eccentrically housed within the housing 4 and rotatable within the housing 4. Therotor 9 is provided withvanes 11 disposed inradial vane slots 10 as shown in Fig. 10 and rotate together with therotor 9 while sliding at their outer edges along the inner circumferential surface of the housing 4, whereby the fluid is suctioned from the suction port 1 and is discharged under pressure from thedischarge pod 2 by the rotation of therotor 9. - The shaft 7 is provided with a
coupling 13 so that a rotational force may be inputted from the vehicle side. The shaft 7 is also provided withsplines 14 which mesh withsplines 15 in therotor 9 so that a torque may be transmitted therebetween. - In such the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump, when a rotational force is transmitted to the shaft 7 from the
coupling 13, therotor 9 eccentrically rotates within the housing 4. This eccentric rotation causes thevanes 11 on therotor 9 to rotate and slide along the inner circumferential surface of the housing 4 while being urged to project in the radially outward direction from therotor 9 due to the centrifugal force, whereby the fluid is suctioned from the suction port 1 and is discharged under pressure from thedischarge port 2 by the rotation of therotor 9. - In such the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump, the shaft 7 and the
rotor 9 are fitted together by thesplines splines rotor 9 and steel material for the shaft 7, must be used in the conventional design, impossible to make the product light weight. Also, therotor 9 and the housing 4 are conventionally made of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion, requiring that a large clearance be provided between the rotor and the housing for absorbing the difference in thermal expansion. - This invention has been made in order to solve the above discussed problems and has as its object the provision of a vehicular vane-type vacuum pump in which the weight can be reduced, no abnormal wearing between the shafts occurs and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
- In order to achieve the above object, the present invention resides in a vehicular vane-type vacuum pump comprising a cylindrical housing having a suction port and a discharge port, a rotor eccentrically housed within the housing, a shaft for rotationally driving the rotor and a vane rotatable in a sliding contact with an inner circumferential surface of the housing, whereby a fluid is pumped from the suction port to the discharge port and characterized in that the shaft is provided at its outer circumference with a projection or a groove and the shaft and the rotor are integrally secured together.
- The shaft may be insert-formed into an integral forged structure during forging of the rotor, and the rotor may be formed by aluminum die-casting, integrally formed by plastic molding or by sintered aluminum powder.
- Also, the projection or the groove on the outer circumference of the shaft may be integrally formed during cold forging of the shaft or the projection or the groove of the shaft may be integrally formed at the time of manufacturing of the shaft by sintering.
- Further, the projection of the shaft may be formed by weld-attaching an iron-based metal plate product on an outer circumference of the shaft or the housing and the shaft may be made of the same kind of material.

- For more detailed description of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the component parts identical to those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference characters and their description may be omitted.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional side view showing an embodiment of the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A - A of Fig. 1 and showing a coupling between a rotor and a shaft.
- The vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention, which has an overall structure similar to the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump shown in Figs. 9 and 10, defines a hermetic space by a cylindrical housing 4 having a suction port 1 and a
discharge port 2 and bracket 5 connected together bybolts 3. The bracket 5 rotatably supports ashaft 21 by a bearing 8, and theshaft 21 has provided thereon arotor 24 eccentrically housed within the housing 4 and rotatable within the housing 4. Therotor 24 is provided withvanes 11 disposed inradial vane slots 10 and rotated together with therotor 24 while sliding at their outer edges along the inner circumferential surface of the housing 4, whereby the fluid is suctioned from the suction port 1 and is discharged under pressure from thedischarge port 2 by the rotation of therotor 24. Theshaft 21 is provided with acoupling 13 so that a rotational force may be inputted from the vehicle side. - According to this invention, the
shaft 21 is provided at a shaft portion of the shaftmain body 22 corresponding to the entire axial length of the housing 4 with two fin-shaped projections 23 extending in the axial direction and projecting in the radial direction at radially opposite positions. Therotor 24 has formed therein twoaxial grooves 25 corresponding to and engaging with two fin-shaped projections 23 so that a torque may be transmitted through these fin-shaped projections 23 and theaxial grooves 25. As for the fin-shaped projections 23, one or more projections may be used and the axial length may be freely set as long as a sufficient torque transmission and ease of manufacture may be ensured. - The fin-
shaped projections 23 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may be formed integrally with the shaftmain body 22 at the time of cold forging of theshaft 21, may be formed at the time of manufacturing by sintering when theshaft 21 is made of a sintered material, or may be formed by attaching by welding an iron-based metal plate product to the circular rod-shaped shaftmain body 22. The metal plate product used may have a flat end portion and a bent portion at the other end bent to extend along the circumferential surface of the shaftmain body 22. - The
rotor 24 is formed and integrally attached with respect to such theshaft 21 by integral casting or integral molding. With such the structure, the clearance in the conventional spline coupling is eliminated to provide no play between the shaftmain body 22 of theshaft 21 and therotor 24. The shaft may also be integrally casted by insert molding during casting of the rotor. - The rotor may be integrally formed by aluminum die-casting or plastic molding, or may be formed by sintering after aluminum powder molding.
- In such the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump, when a rotational force is transmitted to the
shaft 21 from thecoupling 13, therotor 24 eccentrically rotates within the housing 4. This eccentric rotation causes thevanes 11 on therotor 24 to rotate and slide along the inner circumferential surface of the housing 4 while being urged to project in the radially outward direction from therotor 24 due to the centrifugal force, whereby the fluid is suctioned from the suction port 1 and is discharged under pressure from thedischarge port 2 by the rotation of therotor 24. - In such the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump, it is possible to provide the fin-
shaped projections 23 disposed on the shaftmain body 22 with a required and sufficient torque transmitting area, allowing a large torque transmission. Therefore, an aluminum alloy or plastic material of a small strength which have not been used as a rotor material can be used as a rotor material, allowing the product to be light-weighted. Also, when the housing 4 and therotor 24 are made of the same kind of material, no difference of thermal expansion generates therebetween. - Also, since the splines are not used, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and since there is no play due to the clearance in the spline coupling, the abnormal wear does not occur.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of another
shaft 26 that can be used in the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention, and Fig. 4 illustrates a section taken along line B - B of Fig. 3. Thisshaft 26 is different from theshaft 21 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in that it has three fin-shaped projections 23, but in other respects the structure is the same. Thisshaft 26 may be formed by the cold forging or sintering forming by integrally forming the shaftmain body 22 and the fin-shaped projections 23. - Fig. 5 is a side view illustrating a third embodiment of a shaft of the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention, and Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along line C - C of Fig. 5. This
shaft 28 comprises a circular rod-shaped shaftmain body 29 and two fin-shaped projections 30 radially outwardly extending from the shaftmain body 29. The fin-shaped projections 30 is made of twobent metal plates 31, with a semi-circularcylindrical portion 32 of themetal plate 31 attached bywelds 27 to the shaftmain body 29, and twofin portions 33 extend radially opposite direction of the shaftmain body 29 from both ends of the semi-circularcylindrical portion 32 are overlapped to each other. The number of fin-shaped projections 30 is arbitrary. - Fig. 7 is a side view illustrating a fourth embodiment of the shaft of the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention, and Fig. 8 is a sectional view taken along line D - D of Fig. 7. This
shaft 34 has formed in the surface of the shaftmain body 35 axially extendinggrooves 36 for definingprojections 37 therebetween. Thisshaft 34 may be formed by machining, cold forging or sintering forming. - As has been described, the vehicular vane-type vacuum pump of the present invention comprises a cylindrical housing having a suction port and a discharge port, a rotor eccentrically housed within the housing, a shaft for rotationally driving the rotor and a vane rotatable in sliding contact with an inner circumferential surface of the housing, whereby a fluid is pumped from the suction port to the discharge port, and the shaft is provided at its outer circumference with a projection or a groove and the shaft and the rotor are integrally secured together, so that a vehicular vane-type vacuum pump is provided in which the weight can be reduced, no abnormal wearing in the spline coupling occurs and in which the manufacturing cost is low.
