  • the first seal block 22 also includes tooth tip sliding surfaces 22 e and 22 f for sealing when the tooth tips slide.
  • a method of attaching the first seal block 22 is described.
  • the tooth tip sliding surfaces 22 e and 22 f of the first seal block 22 keep the seal with the tooth tips of the gears. Accordingly, the tooth tip sliding surfaces 22 e and 22 f are each required to have a diameter slightly smaller than those of passages of the tooth tips during pump driving and have small individual variations in cutting amount (to be described later) by the tooth tips. If these are not appropriate, a gap generated at the time of pressure application may increase leakage of the tooth tip parts, and variations in cutting amount (to be described later) of the first seal block 22 by the tooth tips may lead to occurrence of variations in volumetric efficiency.
  • a method of positioning the seal block is described with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 .
  • a jig 60 including a shaft part 60 a and a gear alternative part 60 b is used.

  • the gear alternative part 60 b has a diameter corresponding to a desired tooth tip position.
  • the diameter corresponding to a desired tooth tip position means, for example, a diameter that falls within the following range.

  • a first pin 50 is inserted into the first pin insertion hole 22 a of the first seal block 22 and the first pin insertion hole 2 d of the front casing 2

  • the first seal block 22 is fixed by the first pin 50 rotatably with respect to the front casing 2 .
  • the second pin 51 is formed into a columnar shape, and the second pin insertion hole 22 b of the first seal block 22 and the second pin insertion hole 2 c of the front casing 2 are each formed into a cylindrical shape having the same diameter as that of the second pin 51 .
  • the first seal block 22 which is rotatably supported by the first pin 50 , is restricted from moving in a rotation direction thereof, and thus is restricted from moving with respect to the front casing 2 on a plane orthogonal to the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 .
  • the second pin 51 may be formed into, for example, a convex shape illustrated in FIG. 8 instead of the columnar shape. It is preferable to set the second pin 51 in a direction in which a convex part thereof restricts movement in an upper-lower direction in FIG. 9 (the rotation direction about the first pin 50 ). In this way, the position of the first seal block 22 with respect to the front casing 2 is fixed.
  • the first seal block sealing member 26 is provided in a circular ring-like pattern in an outer periphery of a side surface of the first seal block 22 on the front casing 2 side.
  • a low suction pressure is applied inside of the first seal block sealing member 26 .
  • a high discharge pressure generated during pump driving is applied to a gear-side side surface of the first seal block 22 in a zone outside from the sliding-contact part 22 g and to a side surface of the middle casing 6 in a zone outside from a seal line 22 h. Accordingly, this discharge pressure causes a force pushing the first seal block 22 against the front casing 2 from the upper side to the lower side in FIG. 1 (from the near side to the far side of the sheet of FIG.
  • the first seal block sealing member 26 may be set at an inner position instead of the outer periphery of the first seal block 22 , under the condition that a pressure-applied area outside from the sealing member 26 set at the inner position is smaller than a higher pressure-applied area on the opposite side.
  • the forming method is not limited to the above as long as hole positions and shapes of the first pin insertion hole 22 a of the first seal block 22 , the first pin insertion hole 2 d of the front casing 2 , the second pin insertion hole 22 b of the first seal block 22 , and the second pin insertion hole 2 c of the front casing 2 can be processed with a precision high enough to achieve the desired distance.
  • the first seal block 22 is fixed both orthogonally and parallel to the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 .
  • Embodiment 1 When the drive shaft 4 is driven by the drive source (not illustrated), the first drive gear 23 follows the drive shaft 4 to rotate in a direction indicated by an arrow 55 in FIG. 2 , and the first driven gear 24 meshed with the first drive gear 23 rotates in a direction indicated by an arrow 55 ′.
  • a liquid enters the middle casing 6 from an inlet port 41 via a route (not illustrated), fills an inlet part 56 , and is housed in tooth grooves to be transported in the rotation direction along with the rotations of the first drive gear 23 and the first driven gear 24 .
  • the first drive gear 23 and the first driven gear 24 start to be meshed with each other on an outlet part 57 side, whereby the liquid is pushed out of the tooth grooves. Accordingly, the liquid is continuously transported by the rotations of the first drive gear 23 and the first driven gear 24 , and the pressure on the outlet part 57 side thus increases, so that the liquid is discharged from an outlet port (not illustrated).
  • the seal is kept between the respective tooth tips of the first drive gear 23 and the first driven gear 24 and the seal block 22 , and hence only the pressure on the inlet part 56 side of this seal decreases, whereas the pressure in other portions increase.
  • the tooth tips of the first drive gear 23 and the first driven gear 24 are pushed out from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side, that is, to the right in FIG. 2 , by an amount of gap between the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 and an amount of gap between each of the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 and the bearings.
  • the tooth tip sliding surfaces 22 e and 22 f of the first seal block 22 are cut off by an amount of movement of the tooth tips.
  • the external gear pump 1 In the external gear pump 1 , a break-in operation is performed by such cutting off
  • the break-in operation absorbs production variations between the tooth tip sliding surface 22 f or 22 e and the first drive gear 23 or the first driven gear 24 , and thus minimizes a gap between the tooth tips and the first seal block 22 during pump driving. Accordingly, the external gear pump 1 produces an effect of suppressing, to the minimum, a return of the liquid from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side and thus increasing volumetric efficiency.
  • the position of the first seal block 22 with respect to the gears can be determined with a high precision, and hence a difference in component dimensions due to production variations can be absorbed at the time of assemblage.
  • the break-in operation time can be adjusted by adjusting the fixing position of the first seal block 22 .
  • the first seal block 22 is positioned against the jig 60 to be fixed, whereby the first seal block 22 can be easily fixed at a middle position. This can provide a configuration with a high volumetric efficiency while the break-in operation time is the shortest.
  • the gear side surface sliding part and the tooth tip sliding part are integrally formed in the first seal block 22 , and hence a material that makes a sliding resistance of each sliding part small can be selected for the first seal block 22 .
  • the load is supported by the first pin 50 , and hence the material can be selected for the first seal block 22 with a focus on the sliding property. This can provide a gear pump with an excellent mechanical efficiency.
  • the first seal block 22 is fixed at two points, and hence the used pins can have a large cross-sectional area, resulting in an increase in flexural rigidity. Accordingly, the deformation of the first seal block 22 due to the load is small, a gap in the tooth tip sliding surfaces 22 e and 22 f can be reduced, and a high sealing property of the external gear pump 1 can be achieved.
  • the two pump units are provided, and hence, for example, in the case of the use as a pump for a brake, it is possible to provide an external gear pump with such a high reliability that two separated high pressures can be made by a single drive source.
  • An external gear pump according to Embodiment 2 is described as an example in which the first pin insertion hole 22 a of the first seal block 22 is formed into not a circular shape but a shape in which movement only in one direction is restricted.
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view (a view corresponding to FIG. 5 of Embodiment 1) illustrating a state where the middle casing 6 is removed from the external gear pump according to Embodiment 2.
  • a right half thereof in FIG. 9 is processed so as to have the same diameter as that of the first pin 50 , and a left side thereof is processed such that a gap is formed between a hole inner surface and the first pin 50 .
  • the second pin insertion hole 22 b of the first seal block 22 is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the second pin 51 is formed into a columnar shape or may be formed into the convex shape illustrated in FIG. 8 .
  • a high pressure is applied to the first seal block 22 from the right side in FIG. 9 , and a low pressure is applied thereto from the left side in FIG. 9 only in a portion in which the gear tooth tip sliding part is sealed, so that a leftward force is applied as a whole.
  • the first seal block 22 does not move to the right, and hence the first seal block 22 is fixed rotatably with respect to the front casing 2 by restricting only half the circumference thereof similarly to the time of restricting the entire circumference thereof Further, the first seal block 22 is restricted by the second pin 51 from moving in the rotation direction of the first seal block 22 , so that the first seal block 22 is restricted from moving with respect to the front casing 2 on the plane orthogonal to the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 .
  • Other configurations and behaviors than the above are the same as those of Embodiment 1.
  • Embodiment 2 produces an effect that the restriction of only half the circumference facilitates assemblage and a component precision tolerance of the respective parts can be increased, in addition to effects similar to those of Embodiment 1.
  • An external gear pump according to Embodiment 3 is described as an example in which one pump unit is provided.
  • the external gear pump 1 according to Embodiment 3 includes: the front casing 2 provided on the side on which the drive source for the motor (not illustrated) and other members is set; a cover casing 70 provided on the opposite side to the motor; a pair of the shafts 4 and 5 that are set rotatably with respect to the front casing 2 and the cover casing 70 , the drive shaft 4 being driven by the drive source, the driven shaft 5 following rotation of the drive shaft 4 ; and a pump unit 90 that is provided inside of the cover casing 70 on the front casing 2 side.
  • the cover casing 70 is provided with a cylindrical concave part 70 a into which the pump unit 90 can be inserted.

Other configurations and behaviors are similar to those of Embodiment 1.
  • Embodiment 3 can produce an effect similar to those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. Further, in Embodiment 3, because only one pump unit is provided, the external gear pump according to Embodiment 3 is suitably used for hydraulic equipment with only one system provided for pressure rising, and the configuration of the external gear pump can be simplified.

  • the cover casing 70 is provided with an insertion hole 70 b having a stepped shape, and the drive shaft 4 and a (cover casing side) bearing 80 are inserted into the insertion hole 70 b.
  • the cover casing 70 is further provided with an insertion hole 70 c having a stepped shape, and the driven shaft 5 and a (cover casing side) bearing 81 are inserted into the insertion hole 70 c.
  • the drive shaft 4 is pivotally supported by: the front casing 2 via the front bearing 30 for the drive shaft; and the cover casing 70 via the cover casing side bearing 80 .
  • the driven shaft 5 is pivotally supported by: the front casing 2 via the front bearing 32 for the driven shaft; and the cover casing 70 via the cover casing side bearing 81 .
  • Other configurations and behaviors are the same as those of Embodiment 3, and Embodiment 4 can produce an effect similar to that of Embodiment 3.
  • Embodiment 4 because both ends of each of the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 are supported, the load is distributed, and tilts of the shafts can be suppressed. As a result, an increase in sliding resistance on the gear sliding surface and the tooth tip sliding surface can be suppressed, and hence the external gear pump 1 capable of enhancing the sliding property can be provided.
  • the pins are used, but movement restrictors such as keys and bolts may be used instead.
  • various metals, synthetic resins, and other substances are used for the materials of the seal blocks.
