The present invention belongs to the technological field of cooling compressors and, particularly, constructive details of lubricating oil pumps of cooling compressors. Problem to be solved: The current state of the art does not describe any solution of oil pump and construction of rotating shaft capable of achieving the correct lubricating of the moving components that include the compression functional unit of cooling compressor, which operating speed can vary between 700 and 4500 rpm. Solution of the problem: It is disclosed is a variable speed cooling compressor which tubular extension of the oil pump, the inner axial channel of the rotating shaft, the axial channel extension of the rotating shaft and the inner cam channel segment of the rotating axis are all fluidly connected to each other in order to conform a single integrated channel.

A pump device includes a housing, a pump element, and an on-off valve. The housing includes a suction passage defining a suction port at an upstream end, a discharge passage defining a discharge port at a downstream end, and a return passage returning a part of a fluid flowing through the discharge passage to midway of the suction passage. The pump element is accommodated in the housing and rotates around a predetermined axis to suck, pressurize, and discharge a fluid. The on-off valve opens and closes the return passage. In the suction passage upstream of an opening at which the return passage is opened to the suction passage, the housing includes a directional wall which directs a flow of a suction fluid sucked into the suction passage from the suction port to divert from a flow of a return fluid returned from the return passage.

A variable oil pump includes a pump housing, an oil pump rotor accommodated in the pump housing, an adjustment member accommodated in the pump housing and configured to adjust a discharge amount of oil discharged from the oil pump rotor by displacing in a state where the adjustment member holds the oil pump rotor from an outer circumferential side in such a manner that the oil pump rotor is rotatable, and a guide portion including a guide hole provided at the adjustment member and a pin provided at the pump housing and engaging with the guide hole. The guide portion is configured to guide a displacement of the adjustment member relative to the pump housing by allowing the guide hole and the pin to engage with each other. The variable oil pump includes a drain passage configured to drain oil accumulated in the guide hole.

A hydraulic control apparatus is provided including: an electromagnetic valve that has an input port communicating with a supply destination unit of oil and a control port that is switched between communication and disconnection by resultant force of a hydraulic pressure of the supply destination unit and electromagnetic force; a variable displacement pump which has a suction port communicating with a supply source of the oil, an ejection port communicating with the supply destination unit, and a control chamber communicating with the control port and rotates in accordance with drive of the supply destination unit, in which an amount of the oil ejected to the supply destination unit through the ejection port changes in accordance with a pressure in the control chamber; and a control unit that controls a value of a necessary current that is caused to flow through the electromagnetic valve.

There is provided a lubrication structure of an internal combustion engine. A transmission chamber is arranged adjacently at the rear of a crank chamber. An oil chamber communicates with a bottom part of the transmission chamber. A feed pump supplies oil in the oil chamber to a lubrication target part. A scavenging pump sucks the oil in the crank chamber and discharges the oil to the transmission chamber. The feed pump and the scavenging pump are arranged coaxially in a width direction of the internal combustion engine. At least a part of the scavenging pump is arranged higher than a lower end of the crank chamber. A rear end of the scavenging pump is arranged at the same position as a rear end of the crank chamber or in front of the rear end of the crank chamber in a front and rear direction.

An object of the present invention is to simplify portions of an oil supply passage which portions are formed at a cylinder block. An oil supply device according to the present invention includes a cylinder block, an oil pan, an oil pump, and an oil filter. Wall portions of the oil pan are coupled to wall portions of the cylinder block. An oil filter is attached to the oil pan. An upstream oil supply passage through which the oil filtrated by the oil filter flows is formed at the oil pan. A downstream oil supply passage including a main gallery extending in a cylinder column direction is formed at the cylinder block. A first communication passage through which the main gallery and the upstream oil supply passage communicate with each other is formed at the wall portion of the cylinder block and the wall portion of the oil pan.

A rotary engine having a crankshaft, a housing provided with lobe accommodating portions arranged to surround the crankshaft, and combustion chambers communicating with the lobe accommodating portions, a rotor rotatable eccentrically with respect to the crankshaft and provided with lobes continuously accommodated in the lobe accommodating portions, a housing cover provided with a bearing portion through which the crankshaft is inserted so as to be rotatably supported, and a lubricating unit to supply oil to the bearing portion, wherein the lubricating unit includes an oil pan to accommodate oil therein, an oil pump to pump up oil filled in the oil pan, and an oil supply passage having both ends located in the oil pump and the bearing portion, respectively, is provided. This structure may allow direct and effective lubrication of the bearing portion, and can employ a journal bearing.

A cooling lubrication system comprises a dry sump, an oil tank, and a pump system that operates an oil circuit in which an oil pump delivers oil from the dry sump into the oil tank, and the pump system comprises a vane cell pump and two gerotor pumps on a shaft.

A control system for an oil supply mechanism includes an oil pump, a hydraulic pressure sensor, a drive shaft, a pump pulley, a toothed belt, and an output shaft. An electronic control unit included by the control system detects an abnormality of the toothed belt based on a comparison result between an actual value and a theoretical value that are frequencies of pressure pulsations of oil. The actual value is a value calculated based on time fluctuations of a hydraulic pressure detected by the hydraulic pressure sensor. The theoretical value is a value calculated based on a rotational speed of the output shaft and the number of teeth of an inner rotor.
