Hydraulic devices are shown and described that can include a rotor, vanes and a ring. The rotor can be disposed for rotation about an axis. The plurality of vanes can each include a vane step. Each of the plurality of vanes can be moveable relative to the rotor between a retracted position and an extended position where the plurality of vanes work a hydraulic fluid introduced adjacent the rotor. A roller can be mounted to a tip of each of the plurality of vanes. The ring can be disposed at least partially around the rotor. The rotor can include one or more passages for ingress or egress of a hydraulic fluid to or from a region adjacent the vane step and defined by at least the rotor and the vane step.

A compressor according to the present invention comprises a hinge recess formed at a rolling piston and a hinge protrusion formed at a vane to be inserted into the hinge recess. A diameter of the hinge protrusion is greater than an interval between both ends of an opening of the hinge recess. A bearing surface, which comes in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the hinge recess, of an outer circumferential surface of the hinge protrusion, has a circumferential surface below 90° at both sides, respectively, based on a central line in a lengthwise direction of the vane. This structure may facilitate for cutting and grinding the bearing surface so as to reduce a machining cost, and also improve a machining degree and thus stabilize behaviors of the rolling piston and the vane so as to enhance compression efficiency.

An improved vane pump assembly is provided. The vane pump assembly includes a housing with an open chamber that is circular in shape when viewed in cross-section and has an inner wall that surrounds the open chamber. A rotor is rotatably disposed in the open chamber of the housing. As with the open chamber, the rotor is circular in shape when viewed in cross-section and has a diameter. The rotor further has at least one through-passage which extends diametrically across the rotor. The rotor is positioned such that it has a center that is offset from a center of the circular open chamber of the housing.

A rotary compressor may include a rotary shaft; a plurality of plates that supports the rotary shaft; a cylinder provided between the plurality of plates to define a compression space, and provided with a vane slot; a roller slidably coupled to the rotary shaft inside of the cylinder, and having a hinge groove on an outer circumferential surface thereof; and a vane, a first end which is slidably coupled to the vane slot of the cylinder, and a second end of which is rotatably coupled to the hinge groove of the roller. At least one of axial end surfaces of the roller facing the plurality of plates is provided with a wear avoiding portion having a predetermined depth. Contact surfaces between the roller and the plate may be suppressed from being in close contact with each other to suppress the roller or the plate from being damaged or a performance of the compressor due to friction loss from being deteriorated, thereby improving reliability and performance of the compressor.

A rotary working component for use in a pump, compressor, blower or the like having an impeller, rotor, fan blade or other similar component includes a metallic insert and a composite structure overmolded on the metallic insert. The metallic insert can include an aperture adapted to mount the rotary working component to a drive shaft and a fluted catenoid or truncated spherical or spheroid outer surface having smooth contours between fluted regions thereof.

A vane pump includes: a casing forming a pump chamber therein; a rotor arranged inside the casing to rotate eccentrically with respect to the casing; and a plurality of vanes configured to rotate with the rotor and slide on an inner side surface of the casing. At least one of Formula (1): l≤(b/a)×k and Formula (2): l≤(c/a)×j is satisfied, where “a” represents a height of the pump chamber, “b” represents a height of the rotor, “c” represents a height of the vane in a rotation axis direction of the rotor, and where “l” represents a linear expansion coefficient of the casing in the rotation axis direction, “k” represents a linear expansion coefficient of the rotor in the rotation axis direction, and “j” represents a linear expansion coefficient of the vane in the rotation axis direction.

A rotary compressor includes a cylinder having a cylinder chamber and bush groove, a piston housed in the cylinder chamber, a blade formed with the piston to separate the cylinder chamber into low and high pressure chambers, and a pair of bushes. The bushes are fitted in the bush groove with flat surfaces facing each other to hold the blade. The flat surface of at least the bush on the low-pressure side has a crowned portion starting from a position closer to the back pressure space than a swing center position, and extending toward an edge of the bush closer to the cylinder chamber. The swing center position is where a gap between the blade and the bush is constant while the piston rotates eccentrically.

A pump body assembly and a compressor are provided. The pump body includes: a spindle, wherein the spindle has a sliding vane chute, a back pressure oil cavity being at least a part of an oil passage is located at a tail end of the sliding vane chute, an oil outlet of the back pressure oil cavity is located at the top of the back pressure oil cavity, and a position of the oil inlet of the back pressure oil cavity is lower than that of an oil outlet of the back pressure oil cavity such that a lubrication medium enters the back pressure oil cavity through the oil inlet of the back pressure oil cavity and fills up the back pressure oil cavity and flows out from the top of the back pressure oil cavity.

The present disclosure may provide a compressor in which an outer circumferential side cross-sectional area of a vane slot is formed to be smaller than an inner circumferential side cross-sectional area thereof to decrease an area receiving a force in a roller direction by a vane so as to reduce a contact force between the roller and the vane, and a gas accommodation portion capable of selectively forming a suction pressure and an intermediate pressure is formed between the vane and the vane slot to appropriately control a contact force between the vane and the roller, and a contact surface of the vane facing the roller is broadly formed at a side of a compression chamber to appropriately reduce a contact force between the roller and the vane, and a space portion forming a discharge pressure is formed at least either one side of a side surface of the vane and a cylinder corresponding thereto to decrease a side directional reaction force applied to the vane, thereby reducing a mechanical friction loss between the vane and the cylinder.

A delivery element for a rotary pump is proposed which is formed in one part from a metallic material, wherein the delivery element includes at least one first surface and at least one second surface which differ from each other, at least in regions, in at least one material property. A method for manufacturing a delivery element in accordance with the invention, a rotary pump including at least one delivery element in accordance with the invention, and the use of a delivery element in accordance with the invention in a rotary pump is also proposed.
