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.

The invention proposes a vane pump (VP) with adjustable delivery volume, which vane pump has a pump housing (G), a cam ring (KR) arranged therein, and a rotor (R) which is rotatably movably mounted therein. The vane pump (VP) has a regulating device (RV) through which the delivered pressure medium (DM) flows and which has two outlets (A1, A2) which are each connected to one of two pressure chambers (DK1, DK2) in order to charge these with regulable proportions of the pressure medium (DM), wherein, to change the eccentricity of the cam ring (KR) relative to the rotor (R), the two pressure chambers (DK1, DK2) act on the outer surface of the cam ring (KR). The vane pump (VP) has two criss-crossing control ducts (STK*, STK#) which connect in each case one of the outlets (A1, A2) to one of the two pressure chambers (DK1, DK2) in order to charge these with the regulable proportions of the pressure medium (DM). The criss-crossing control ducts (STK*, STK#) are preferably arranged in a cover (D) of the pump housing such that the control ducts (STK*, STK#) are in a criss-crossing arrangement without coming into contact with one another. By means of this design, the vane pump (VP) can be easily reconfigured for a change in rotational direction of the rotor.

A sliding vane pump includes a passageway that fluidly connects one or more pumping chambers to a side chamber. The passageway pressurizes the side chamber. This fluid pressure exerts a force that counteracts the force caused by pressure differences between the outlet pumping chambers and the inlet pumping chambers. At high speed, part of the side chamber is pressurized by the smallest volume outlet pumping chamber while another portion of the side chamber is pressurized by the largest volume outlet chamber. This results in a force counteracting an uncommanded displacement decrease of the pump.

A vane cell machine includes a housing, rotor, curved ring, spring, and pressure piece. The rotor is configured to rotate about a rotation axis and includes a plurality of plate-like wings that are radially displaceable. The curved ring surrounds the rotor and delimits a movement path of the wings. Each pair of adjacent plate-like wings delimits a corresponding operating chamber. The housing surrounds and enables displacement of the curved ring. The spring is positioned between the curved ring and the housing, is pretensioned, and is configured to load the curved ring. The pressure piece is positioned between the spring and the curved ring, and sealingly abuts the housing and the curved ring so as to delimit a first and second pressure chamber from each other. The housing and the curved ring further delimit the first and second pressure chambers.

A fuel pump includes a cam arrangement surrounding a rotor and disposed within a spacer ring. The cam arrangement is configured to deterministically translate relative to the spacer ring and the rotor during stroking of the pump. An involute gear set provides an interface between the cam arrangement and the spacer ring. In some cases, the involute gear set is configured to provide a linear translation of the cam arrangement along a timing line. In other cases, the involute gear set is configured to provide a linear translation of the cam arrangement at an angle relative to the timing line.

The internal gear pump according to the present invention includes: an inner rotor; an outer rotor that rotates with predetermined eccentricity to a rotation center of the inner rotor; an outer ring that rotatably holds the outer rotor, and has at least three cam protruded parts formed; a pump housing that has a rotor chamber; pins in the same number as that of the cam protruded parts; and operation means for oscillating the outer ring. Positions of the pins are set so that a diameter center of the holding-inner peripheral part of the outer ring is moved by the operation means along a locus of a circle, the radius of which is the eccentricity to the rotation center of the inner rotor.

A hydraulic transmission control system including a vane pump including a stroke ring defining a compartment. An outlet line and an inlet line are fluidly connected to the compartment. A control pressure chamber and a compensation chamber are defined adjacent to opposite sides of the stroke ring, each for varying a pump outlet pressure based on a pressure change within the chambers. A pump controller is connected to the outlet line and the pressure control chamber for adjusting a pressure in the pressure control chamber. The outlet line is further connected to the compensation chamber, a primary hydraulic circuit and a primary pressure control valve. A secondary hydraulic circuit is connected to the primary pressure control valve. A shift valve is disposed between the outlet line and the primary control valve and configured to selectively connect the pump controller and the primary pressure control.

A vane pump is configured to discharge a working fluid introduced into one side of a rotary chamber formed between an outer cam ring and a rotor to the other side of the rotary chamber, wherein a through slit extending in a circumferential direction of the outer cam ring is formed in a corresponding portion of the outer cam ring corresponding to the side to which the working fluid is introduced into the rotary chamber.

This oil pump is equipped with a rotatable inner rotor that includes a vane-housing unit housing multiple vanes so as to be capable of sliding in the radial direction, a rotatable annular outer rotor that includes multiple vane-connecting parts connecting the tip ends of the multiple vanes on the outside in the radial direction, first volume-changing parts, which are provided between the inner rotor and the outer rotor, and a first volume of which is changed in response to eccentricity of the inner rotor with respect to the outer rotor, thereby providing a pumping function, and second volume-changing parts, which are provided in the outer rotor, and a second volume of which is changed by a change in the distance between adjacent vane-connecting parts in the circumferential direction in response to eccentricity of the inner rotor with respect to the outer rotor, thereby providing a pumping function.

In a variable displacement oil pump (VP1) according to the present invention, a stopper portion (45) that can come into contact with a cam ring contact portion (112e) provided at a pump accommodating portion (110) is provided at a position that does not overlap a first suction port (114), a second suction port (124) and an inlet (124a), which correspond to a suction portion, in a circumferential direction of rotation of a drive shaft (2) on a rotation center (Z). Therefore, there is no risk that flow of oil sucked into pump chambers (30) located in a suction region through the first suction port (114), the second suction port (124) and the inlet (124a) will be interrupted by the stopper portion (45), thereby improving a suction performance of the pump.
