An inner wall surface of a pump housing has a slide surface, which is opposite from a joint member and along which an inner rotor is slidable. This slide surface includes an external tooth slide surface and a main body slide surface. External teeth of the inner rotor are slidable along the external tooth slide surface, and a main body of the inner rotor is slidable along the main body slide surface. A surface roughness of the main body slide surface is higher than a surface roughness of the external tooth slide surface.

A rotary device includes a shaft, a rotor coupled to the shaft, and a stator having a cam surface. Vanes reside within slots of the rotary device and engage with the cam surface. A first seal couples to the rotor and includes first grooves that extend in a direction substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the shaft. A second seal couples to the stator and includes second grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. A third seal couples to the rotor and includes third grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. A fourth seal couples to the stator and includes fourth grooves extending in the direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis. The first grooves and the second grooves, as well as the third grooves and the fourth grooves, from labyrinth seals for the chambers of the rotary device.

Disclosed are a sliding vane compressor and an exhaust structure thereof. The exhaust structure of the sliding vane compressor includes: an exhaust hole, the exhaust hole being formed in a flange of the sliding vane compressor and being in communication with a compression cavity of a cylinder of the sliding vane compressor; a guide channel, the guide channel being formed on the flange and penetrating through the flange; and an exhaust channel, the exhaust channel being formed on an eccentric circle of the sliding vane compressor, and the exhaust channel being used for communicating the compression cavity with the guide channel using the rotation of the eccentric circle. The sliding vane compressor and the exhaust structure thereof have a small exhaust loss, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption and the production and manufacturing costs of the sliding vane compressor.

An electric priming pump device detachably couples to a centrifugal water pump on the suction side of the water pump, for priming thereof. The device comprises an enclosure and a base, wherein the enclosure contains a rotary vane peripheral bypass vacuum motor which is pressed against the base to form an air-tight seal. The device generates a vacuum for priming through use of a rotary vane peripheral bypass vacuum motor, which can remove large volumes of air quickly. An opening in the base receives a check valve fitting to protect the motor from water and slows loss of vacuum pressure after use. Additionally, a cone shaped protective cover protects components in the device and provides space for branding or advertisement.

A vacuum device, in particular to a vacuum pump, includes a reservoir for an operating medium; an outlet connector arranged at or in the reservoir; and a selection device that selectively closes or opens the outlet connector or an outlet line, which is connected via the outlet connector to the reservoir, in dependence on whether the operating medium or water is present at the outlet connector.

An electrical motor vehicle vacuum pump arrangement includes a housing assembly, a pump apparatus arranged therein, a drive motor, and a sound dampener. The housing assembly includes an inlet and an outlet opening arrangement. The pump apparatus includes a pump rotor housing with an inlet- and an outlet-side face wall, and a pump rotor housing part arranged therebetween. The inlet- and the outlet-side face wall and the pump rotor housing part enclose a pump rotor chamber with a pump rotor arranged therein. The drive motor is arranged in the housing assembly. The drive motor includes a motor rotor and a motor stator. The sound damper includes a first and a second sound damping chamber, and a sound dampener element. The first sound damping chamber is connected to the pump rotor chamber and to the second sound damping chamber. The second sound damping chamber is connected to the outlet opening arrangement.

A vane type gas pump for a compressible fluid. The vane-type gas pump includes a pump housing which forms a pump chamber in which a pump rotor with at least one slidable sliding element is rotatably mounted. At least one fluid inlet opening and at least one elongated fluid outlet opening are dedicated to the pump chamber. The at least one slidable sliding element has a tangential width. The at least one elongated fluid outlet opening has a tangential width. The tangential width of the at least one slidable sliding element at least corresponds to the tangential width of the at least one elongated fluid outlet opening so that the at least one slidable sliding element temporarily completely covers the at least one elongated fluid outlet opening.
