OIL PUMP STRUCTURE

摘要

An oil pump structure including: an oil pump having a first hydraulic control chamber and a second hydraulic control chamber; a hydraulic control valve having a valve operating oil passage, a first inflow passage, a second inflow passage, a first outflow passage, a second outflow passage and a drain flow passage; and an oil circuit, wherein the hydraulic control valve is connected to a branching flow passage of the oil circuit; a spool valve body of the hydraulic control valve has a front valve section, a rear valve section and an intermediate valve section, which are formed perpendicularly to the axial direction of a connecting shaft; an axial-direction dimension of the intermediate valve section is larger than an axial-direction dimension of the second outflow passage; the second outflow passage and the drain flow passage are both accommodated temporarily between the intermediate valve section and the front valve section due to movement of the spool valve body; and in the hydraulic control valve, a control hydraulic pressure is applied at all times to the first hydraulic control chamber, and the control hydraulic pressure is increased and decreased in the second hydraulic control chamber.

1. An oil pump structure, comprising: an oil pump which has a first hydraulic control chamber and a second hydraulic control chamber for performing an operation of varying a discharge amount, and in which an operation for varying the capacity is performed by applying a control hydraulic pressure to the first hydraulic control chamber and the second hydraulic control chamber; a hydraulic control valve which has a valve operating oil passage, a first inflow passage and a second inflow passage, by which oil discharged from the oil pump flows in, a first outflow passage by which oil is sent to the first hydraulic control chamber, a second outflow passage by which oil is sent to the second hydraulic control chamber, and a drain flow passage by which oil can be discharged externally; and an oil circuit in which oil is circulated by the oil pump, wherein
the hydraulic control valve is connected to a branching flow passage of the oil circuit; a spool valve body which slides inside the hydraulic control valve is constituted by a connecting shaft, a front valve section, a rear valve section, and an intermediate valve section positioned between the front valve section and the rear valve section, with the front valve section, the rear valve section, and the intermediate valve section being formed perpendicularly to an axial direction of the connecting shaft; an axial-direction dimension of the intermediate valve section is larger than an axial-direction dimension of the second outflow passage; the second outflow passage and the drain flow passage are both temporarily accommodated between the intermediate valve section and the front valve section due to movement of the spool valve body; and a control hydraulic pressure is applied at all times to the first hydraulic control chamber, and the control hydraulic pressure is increased or decreased in the second hydraulic control chamber, by the hydraulic control valve.
