Since the communication holes 27 allow fuel to flow between the fuel chambers 58 formed by the respective recesses 26, it is possible to maintain a pressure balance on both sides of the inner gear 20 in the axial direction. Further, the slope portion 29 that inclines toward the center toward the center portion of the communication hole 27 is provided at the edge portion on the rotation progression side of the inner gear 20 in the communication edge portion 28 of the communication hole 27.
- the fuel When the inner gear 20 rotates by the inclined surface portion 29, the fuel is guided to the communication hole 27, the fuel flow is promoted, and a liquid film lubrication state is formed. Further, since the inclined surface portion 29 is provided to avoid the adjacent portion 28b adjacent to the inner peripheral edge portion 25a of the sliding surface portion 25, the fuel from the pump chamber 40 can be prevented from leaking too much. As described above, the sliding loss between the pump housing 10 and the sliding surface portion 25 can be suppressed, and the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- the slope portion 29 is provided at the edge of the communication hole 27 on the opposite side of the rotation of the inner gear 20 so as to avoid the adjacent portion 28c. Since the inclined surface portion 29 is also provided at the edge portion on the opposite side of rotation as described above, the fuel is more likely to flow into the communication hole 27, so that the flow rate is increased and the liquid film lubrication state is easily formed. Therefore, the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- the slope portion 29 is provided on the edge of the communication hole 27 opposite to the adjacent side 28a of the adjacent portion across the opening. As described above, since the inclined surface portion 29 is also provided on the edge opposite to the adjacent portion, the fuel is more likely to flow into the communication hole 27, so that the flow rate is increased and the liquid film lubrication state is easily formed. . Therefore, the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- the slope portion 29 is provided at the communication edge portion 28 of the opening on both sides communicating with the respective recesses 26. Providing the slope portions 29 on both sides makes the fuel in and out of the communication holes 27 more open, so that the pressure balance on both sides in the axial direction is reliably maintained and a liquid film lubrication state is easily formed. Therefore, the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- a plurality of communication holes 27 are provided along the rotation direction Rig of the inner gear 20. As the fuel flows through each of the communication holes 27, a liquid film is uniformly formed. Therefore, the pressure balance on both axial sides of the inner gear 20 is maintained at each position in the rotational direction Rig. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- each leg portion 54c of the joint member 54 to which the rotating shaft 4a of the electric motor 4 is relayed is inserted into each communication hole 27 with a gap. And when the rotating shaft 4a carries out an axial shift, this axial shift can be absorbed using the clearance gap of the communicating hole 27. FIG. By absorbing the shaft misalignment, the inner gear 20 can be rotated with good balance. Moreover, since a liquid film lubrication state can be formed by making a fuel flow using this clearance gap, the fuel pump 100 with high pump efficiency can be provided.
- the pump housing 10 communicates with one of the recesses 26 to form a storage space 60 in which the joint member 54 is stored. Since the recess 26 communicating with the storage space 60 and the other recess 26 are connected by the communication hole 27, the pressure balance on both axial sides of the inner gear 20 is maintained, so that the pump efficiency can be increased.
- the fuel is light oil.
- Light oil is highly viscous, but if the slope portion 29 is formed at the communication edge portion 28 that is the inlet of the communication hole 27, the light oil easily flows into the communication hole 27. That is, the pump efficiency can be increased relatively easily.
- the slope portion 29 avoids the adjacent portion 28b adjacent to the inner peripheral edge portion 25a of the sliding surface portion 25 at the edge portion of the communication edge portion 28 on the rotation advance side of the inner gear 20.
- various forms can be adopted.
- the inclined surface portion 29 may not be provided at the edge portion on the rotation reverse side of the inner gear 20 in the communication edge portion 28.
- the slope portion 29 may not be provided on the edge of the communication edge portion 28 opposite to the adjacent side 28 a of the adjacent portion across the opening.
- the slope portion 29 may be provided on the communication edge portion 28 of one side opening that communicates with each of the recesses 26.
- the slope portion 29 may be provided on the communication edge portion 28 on the storage space 60 side on both sides in the axial direction.
- the cross-sectional shape of the communication hole 27 may be a circular shape, a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or the like.
- the communication edge portion 28 may be adjacent to the inner peripheral edge portion 25a of the sliding surface portion 25 with a slight gap therebetween.
- the foot portion 54c of the joint member 54 may not be inserted into the communication hole 27.
- the inner gear 20 may not be connected to the rotating shaft 4a via the joint member 54 but may be directly connected to the rotating shaft 4a.
- the number of communication holes 27 may be one.
- the fuel pump 100 may be a pump that sucks and discharges gasoline other than light oil or liquid fuel equivalent thereto as fuel.
