Provided is a gear pump device that enables improvement in volumetric efficiency and manufacturability, and also makes it possible to ensure sealing property and to reduce drive torque. According to the present invention, a sealing mechanism is provided with an annular rubber member, an outer member, and an inner member, wherein: the inner member has, at an end of an outer peripheral wall on the side of an inner gear in the axial direction, a notch which is recessed radially inward of the inner gear so as to form, together with an axial one end face of the inner gear, a depressed part; and the outer member has an insertion part which is disposed within the depressed part and which abuts against the axial one end face of the inner gear so as to constitute a part of a sealing surface on the other side.

Gear pump device having three member seal mechanism containing fitted insertion part to seal axial face of gear pump between inner and outer gear

A gear pump apparatus is equipped with a pump and a sealing mechanism which is made up of an outer member, an inner member, and a rubber member fit between the outer and inner members. The inner member has a pressure-exerted surface to which pressure, as produced by contact of the rubber member with the inner member arising from application of discharge pressure of the pump, is applied. The pressure-exerted surface has a flange which creates thrust to move the inner member away from the gear pump, thereby bringing the inner member against an inner wall of a pump casing to develop a hermetical seal between a high-pressure region and a low-pressure region within the pump casing. This eliminates the leakage of pressure and ensures torque required for a pumping operation of the pump.

Compact structure of gear pump designed to minimize loss of pumping torque

A rotary pump has a linear groove formed on an end surface of a second side plate of an outer rotor. Thereby, it becomes possible to generate a force for pushing back the outer rotor to a sealing member side, and thus it becomes possible to reduce load applied to the second side plate. As a result, contact resistance between the outer rotor and the second side plate becomes smaller, and smoother pumping operation becomes possible. Further, since the force for pushing back the outer rotor to the first sealing member side is generated in the linear groove, it is possible to reduce an amount of decrease in a contacting area with the outer rotor and the second side plate, thereby reducing an amount of wear of the outer rotor and the second side plate.

A first and a second rotary pumps are provided in a first pump casing of a pump body, which is inserted into a cylindrical recessed portion of a housing. A first outlet port is opened at a first space formed between a bottom surface of the cylindrical recessed portion and an axial forward end surface of the first pump casing, so that discharge pressure of working fluid of the first pump is supplied to the first space. A second outlet port is opened at a second space formed between an axial backward end surface of the first pump casing and an axial forward end surface of a second pump casing, so that discharge pressure of working fluid of the second pump is supplied to the second space.

An O-ring has a shape including a first portion that is arranged side by side with a suction port in an axial direction, a second portion that is arranged side by side with a suction port, and a third portion that connects these portions. The first portion and the second portion are arranged to be displaced from each other in the axial direction. The third portion is arranged to extend in a direction different from a circumferential direction between the suction port and the suction port when a pump body is viewed in a radial direction. Thus, the suction ports can be located closer to each other in the axial direction. Therefore, the axial direction length of the pump body can be reduced, and size reduction of a rotary pump device can be achieved.
