Therefore, an installability is improved.
  • the vane pump 100 is to be removed from the body 90 , because the vane pump 100 is held in the integrated state, it is easy to remove the vane pump 100 .
  • the vane pump 100 because the gap S is formed between the cover 30 and the restricting portions 52 of the head pins 50 , it is possible to allow such a deformation of the cover 30 . 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 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 4 e , 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 7 a (the first through hole 21 a and the first arc-shaped groove 25 a ), the first connection channel 41 a (the first opening portion 44 a , the through hole 45 a , and the recessed groove 47 ), the high-pressure chamber 94 , and the first discharge channel 93 a , 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 7 b (the second through hole 21 b and the second arc-shaped groove 25 b ), the second connection channel 41 b (the second opening portion 44 b , the through hole 45 b , and the internal space 40 e ), and the second discharge channel 93 b .
  • 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 7 a and 7 b (the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25 a and 25 b ) is respectively supplied to the back pressure chambers 5 through the communication hole 28 and the second back pressure grooves 24 b , and base-end portions 3 b of the vanes 3 are pushed towards the inner circumference cam face 4 a . Therefore, the vanes 3 are biased in the directions in which the vanes 3 project out from the slits 2 a by a fluid pressure in the back pressure chambers 5 that pushes the base-end portions 3 b and by the centrifugal force that is caused by the rotation of the rotor 2 .
  • the main body portion 40 b of the adapter 40 is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91 c of the accommodating concave portion 91 . Furthermore, the O-rings 83 a and 83 b 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 83 a and 83 b , it is possible to prevent a leakage of the working oil from between the body-side side plate 20 and the rotor 2 .
  • the discharge efficiency of the vane pump 100 is improved.
  • the O-rings 83 a and 83 b 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 adapter 40 is separated away from the bottom surface of the third concave portion 91 c 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 83 a and 83 b . 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 83 a and 83 b , 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 25 a and 25 b 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 .

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 40 b and the circular tube portion 40 c 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 41 a and 41 b for connecting the first and second discharge ports 7 a and 7 b formed in the body-side side plate 20 to the first and second discharge channels 93 a and 93 b formed in the body 90 .

Furthermore, because there is no need to form the first and second discharge channels 93 a and 93 b of the body 90 in accordance with the shapes and the positions of the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25 a and 25 b , a degree of freedom for designing is improved.

  • a member for connecting the first and second discharge ports 7 a and 7 b formed in the body-side side plate 20 and the first and second discharge channels 93 a and 93 b 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 adapter 40 can be manufactured easily, and at the same time, because the material cost can be reduced, it is possible to suppress the increase in the cost.
  • the aluminum alloy having less relative density than an iron it is possible to achieve weight reduction of the vane pump 100 .

Furthermore, because the O-rings 83 a and 83 b also function as the seal members for the first and second arc-shaped grooves 25 a and 25 b , 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 83 a and 83 b , 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 With the vane pump 100 , by providing the O-rings 83 a and 83 b , it is possible to allow dimension errors of the respective members constituting the vane pump 100 .
