In other words, because a force pulling out the head pins 50 is not applied to the restricting portions 52 of the head pins 50 due to the deformation of the cover 30, it is possible to prevent the head pins 50 from being loosened or damaged. As described above, because the vane pump 100 is held in the integrated state by the head pins 50, the vane pump 100 is not disassembled into separate parts when the vane pump 100 is to be removed. As long as sufficient strength is secured for the cover 30 and the cover-side side plate 10, the gap S may not be provided.
  • the configuration is not limited thereto, and the number of the head pins 50 may be more than two (about three to six) as long as an enough space can be secured.
  • the number of the head pins 50 increases, a holding force holding the integrated state of the vane pump 100 is correspondingly improved.
  • the size of the vane pump 100 can be reduced correspondingly.
  • the vane pump 100 thus assembled is mounted in the accommodating concave portion 91 of the body 90 and is fixed to the body 90 by screwing, into the body 90, the bolts inserted into the through holes 33 of the cover 30.
  • the accommodating concave portion 91 of the body 90 has, in this order from the bottom surface side, a first concave portion 91a to which the second discharge channel 93b opens at a bottom surface thereof, a second concave portion 91b that has the diameter larger than that of the first concave portion 91a and to which the first discharge channel 93a opens at the bottom surface thereof, the third concave portion 91c that has the diameter larger than that of the second concave portion 91b and into which the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 is inserted, and a fourth concave portion 91d that is formed to have the diameter larger than that of the third concave portion 91c and that has the above-described suction space 70 formed between the fourth concave portion 91d and the vane pump 100.
  • the circular tube portion 40c of the adapter 40 is fitted into the first concave portion 91a, and the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 is fitted into the third concave portion 91c.
  • the annular surface 40f of the main body portion 40b faces the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91c.
  • a ring-shaped high-pressure chamber 94 is defined by the second concave portion 91b, the third concave portion 91c, the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40, and the outer circumference of the circular tube portion 40c, in other words, the high-pressure chamber 94 is defined between the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 and the bottom surfaces of the second concave portion 91b and the third concave portion 91c.
  • the high-pressure working oil that has been discharged from the pump chambers 6 is guided through the first through hole 21a, the first arc-shaped groove 25a, the first opening portion 44a, the through hole 45a, and the recessed groove 47.
  • the working oil that has been guided into the high-pressure chamber 94 then flows out to the first discharge channel 93a.
  • the body-side side plate 20, the cam ring 4, and the cover-side side plate 10 are accommodated in the fourth concave portion 91d, and the fourth concave portion 91d is closed by attaching the cover 30 to the body 90.
  • the ring-shaped suction space 70 that is in communication with the above-described suction channel 92 is formed between the fourth concave portion 91d and the vane pump 100 (the body-side side plate 20, the cam ring 4, and the cover-side side plate 10).
  • the rotor 2 As the driving shaft 1 is rotationally driven by a motive force generated by a driving device, such as an engine (not shown), the rotor 2 is rotated. As the rotor 2 is rotated, the pump chambers 6 positioned at the two suction regions are expanded. With such a configuration, the working oil in the tank is sucked into the pump chambers 6 through the suction channel 92, the suction space 70, the cut-out portions 4e, the suction ports 11, and the suction concave portions 23. In addition, the pump chambers 6 positioned at the two discharge regions are contracted as the rotor 2 is rotated.
  • the working oil in the pump chambers 6 in the one of the discharge regions is supplied to a hydraulic apparatus (not shown) through the first discharge port 7a (the first through hole 21a and the first arc-shaped groove 25a), the first connection channel 41a (the first opening portion 44a, the through hole 45a, and the recessed groove 47), the high-pressure chamber 94, and the first discharge channel 93a, and the working oil in the pump chambers 6 in the other of the discharge regions is supplied to the hydraulic apparatus (not shown) through the second discharge port 7b (the second through hole 21b and the second arc-shaped groove 25b), the second connection channel 41b (the second opening portion 44b, the through hole 45b, and the internal space 40e), and the second discharge channel 93b.
  • the vane pump 100 as the rotor 2 completes a full rotation, the respective pump chambers 6 repeat the suction and discharge of the working oil twice.
  • a part of the working oil that has been discharged to the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b (the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25a and 25b) is respectively supplied to the back pressure chambers 5 through the communication hole 28 and the second back pressure grooves 24b, and base-end portions 3b of the vanes 3 are pushed towards the inner circumference cam face 4a. Therefore, the vanes 3 are biased in the directions in which the vanes 3 project out from the slits 2a by a fluid pressure in the back pressure chambers 5 that pushes the base-end portions 3b and by the centrifugal force that is caused by the rotation of the rotor 2.
  • the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91c of the accommodating concave portion 91. Furthermore, the O-rings 83a and 83b are provided between the adapter 40 and the body-side side plate 20 in a compressed state. With such a configuration, because the body-side side plate 20 is constantly pushed against the end surface of the rotor 2 by an elastic force exerted by the O-rings 83a and 83b, it is possible to prevent a leakage of the working oil from between the body-side side plate 20 and the rotor 2. Therefore, the discharge efficiency of the vane pump 100 is improved.
  • the O-rings 83a and 83b also has a function of biasing members that constantly bias the body-side side plate 20 against the end surface of the rotor 2.
  • the pressure of the working oil in the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25a and 25b is also increased.
  • the body-side side plate 20 is pushed against the end surface of the rotor 2.
  • the high-pressure working oil is guided from the pump chambers 6 also into the high-pressure chamber 94 through the first discharge port 7a and the first connection channel 41a.
  • the adapter 40 is separated away from the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91c and is pushed against the body-side side plate 20.
  • the adapter 40 biases the body-side side plate 20 towards the rotor 2 by the high-pressure working oil that has been guided into the high-pressure chamber 94 and pushes the body-side side plate 20 against the end surface of the rotor 2.
  • the body-side side plate 20 As the pressure in the pump chambers 6 is increased, the body-side side plate 20 is no longer pushed towards the rotor 2 sufficiently with only the elastic force exerted by the O-rings 83a and 83b. However, as the pressure in the pump chambers 6 is increased, in addition to the biasing force exerted by the elasticity of the O-rings 83a and 83b, the body-side side plate 20 is pushed against the rotor 2 also by the pressure of the working oil in the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25a and 25b and by the pressure of the working oil acting on the adapter 40. Therefore, even when the pressure in the pump chambers 6 is high, it is possible to prevent the leakage of the working oil from between the body-side side plate 20 and the rotor 2.
  • the O-ring 82 that blocks the communication between the first connection channel 41a and the second connection channel 41b is provided on the outer circumference of the circular tube portion 40c.
  • the O-ring 81 is provided on the outer circumference of the main body portion 40b.
  • the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 is formed to have a circular plate shape, and the circular tube portion 40c is formed to have circular tube shape.
  • the O-rings 81 and 82 that are provided in the main body portion 40b and the circular tube portion 40c can be formed to have a ring shape. Therefore, the O-rings 81 and 82 can have a simple shape, and the O-rings 81 and 82 can be manufactured easily. Furthermore, by forming the main body portion 40b and the circular tube portion 40c coaxially, it is possible to make the processing of the adapter 40 easier and to improve a processing accuracy.
  • the vane pump 100 includes the body-side side plate 20 that is brought into contact with the other end surfaces of the rotor 2 and the cam ring 4, and the adapter 40 that is formed with the first and second connection channels 41a and 41b for connecting the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b formed in the body-side side plate 20 to the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b formed in the body 90.
  • the adapter 40 By appropriately altering the configuration of the adapter 40, regardless of positional deviations and differences in the shape of the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b formed in the body-side side plate 20 and the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b formed in the body 90, it is possible to connect the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b and the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b, respectively. Furthermore, because there is no need to form the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b of the body 90 in accordance with the shapes and the positions of the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25a and 25b, a degree of freedom for designing is improved.
  • the cartridge vane pump is mounted on various fluid pressure devices. Therefore, arrangement of the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b may be different depending on the fluid pressure device.
  • the body-side side plate 20 slides on the rotor 2, the body-side side plate 20 is formed of an iron-type sintered metal having superior durability. A processability of such an iron-type sintered metal is poor, and a cost of the material itself is high, and therefore, if the body-side side plate 20 is formed so as to be adapted to the positions of the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b, increase in the cost will be incurred.
  • a member for connecting the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b formed in the body-side side plate 20 and the first and second discharge channels 93a and 93b formed in the body 90 is formed as the adapter 40 that is separate from the body-side side plate 20, and the adapter 40 is further formed of an aluminum alloy having superior processability.
  • the body-side side plate 20 is formed of the iron-type sintered metal, the durability is improved and seizing with the rotor 2 is prevented.
  • the body-side side plate 20 cannot be pushed against the end surface of the rotor 2 depending on the discharge-side pressure. Therefore, the leakage of the working oil in the pump chambers 6 is caused from between the body-side side plate 20 and the rotor 2, and the discharge efficiency of the pump is deteriorated.
  • the O-rings 83a and 83b are provided between the adapter 40 and the body-side side plate 20 so as to be compressed.
  • the body-side side plate 20 is pushed against the end surface of the rotor 2 by the elastic force exerted by the O-rings 83a and 83b, it is possible to prevent the leakage from between the body-side side plate 20 and the rotor 2 even when the pressure of the vane pump 100 is low. Furthermore, because the O-rings 83a and 83b also function as the seal members for the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25a and 25b, it is possible to reduce a number of components.
  • the body-side side plate 20 is constantly pushed against the end surface of the rotor 2 by the elastic force exerted by the O-rings 83a and 83b, a force pushing the body-side side plate 20 against the rotor 2 need not be generated by the head pins 50. Therefore, it is possible to make the head pins 50 thinner or to reduce a number thereof.
  • the vane pump 100 by providing the O-rings 83a and 83b, it is possible to allow dimension errors of the respective members constituting the vane pump 100. Specifically, even if the total dimension of the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40, the body-side side plate 20, the cam ring 4, the cover-side side plate 10, and a part of the cover 30 that is inserted into the accommodating concave portion 91 in the axial direction of the driving shaft 1 is less than a depth dimension of the third concave portion 91c to the bottom surface thereof, it is possible to allow the dimension error by the possible compressed amount of the O-rings 83a and 83b.
  • a biasing member may be provided between, for example, the main body portion 40b of the adapter 40 and the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91c of the body 90.
  • the biasing member is not limited to the O-ring, and a member such as a disc spring etc. may also be employed.
  • the ring-shaped high-pressure chamber 94 into which the high-pressure working oil that has been discharged from the pump chambers 6 is guided is defined between the adapter 40 and the bottom surface of the body 90. Because the high pressure discharged from the pump chambers 6 acts on the entire annular surface 40f of the main body portion 40b, it is possible to strongly push the body-side side plate 20 against the end surface of the rotor 2.
  • the cartridge vane pump 100 includes: the rotor 2 that is rotationally driven by being linked to the driving shaft 1; the plurality of slits 2a that are formed in a radiating pattern so as to open at the outer circumference of the rotor 2; the vanes 3 that are respectively inserted into the slits 2a in a freely slidable manner; the cam ring 4 that has the inner circumference cam face 4a with which the tip end portions of the vanes 3 are brought into sliding contact; the pump chambers 6 that are defined by the rotor 2, the cam ring 4, and the adjacent vanes 3; the cover members (the cover 30 and the cover-side side plate 10) that are brought into contact with the one end surfaces of the rotor 2 and the cam ring 4 and that are fixed to the body 90; the body-side side plate 20 that is brought into contact with the other end surfaces of the rotor 2 and the cam ring 4; the first and second discharge ports 7a and 7b that are formed in the body-side side plate 20 and into which the working fluid discharged
  • the adapter 40 has: the main body portion 40b having the contact surface 40a that is brought into contact with the body-side side plate 20 and the annular surface 40f that faces the bottom surface of the accommodating concave portion 91; and the circular tube portion 40c that has a diameter smaller than that of the main body portion 40b, that extends from the main body portion 40b in the axial direction, and that is fit into the accommodating concave portion 91.
  • the connection channels (the first connection channel 41a and the second connection channel 41b) are the first connection channel 41a and the second connection channel 41b.
  • the first connection channel 41a is formed between the contact surface 40a and the annular surface 40f so as to penetrate through the main body portion 40b and connects the first discharge port 7a and the first discharge channel 93a.
  • the second connection channel 41b that is formed so as to penetrate through the main body portion 40b and so as to be in communication with the internal space 40e of the circular tube portion 40c and that connects the second discharge port 7b and the second discharge channel 93b.
  • the outer circumference of the circular tube portion 40c is provided with the seal member (the O-ring 82) that blocks communication between the first connection channel 41a and the second connection channel 41b.
  • the seal member (the O-ring 82) is provided on the outer circumference of the circular tube portion 40c, it is possible to prevent the seal member (the O-ring 82) from falling off during attachment and detachment of the cartridge vane pump 100. Therefore, the cartridge vane pump 100 has a superior installability.
  • the main body portion 40b is formed to have a circular plate shape, and the main body portion 40b and the circular tube portion 40c are formed coaxially.
  • the cover 30 may be formed integrally with the cover-side side plate 10. As long as the high-pressure chamber 94 is formed, the recessed groove 47 may not be formed.
