Abstract
An embodiment provides a vane pump device includes multiple vanes; a rotor that rotates and includes vane grooves for supporting the vanes and accommodating oil; a cam ring that includes an inner circumferential cam ring surface provided with a high pressure region and a low pressure region, and that surrounds the rotor; and an inner plate that covers an opening of the cam ring. The inner plate includes a first portion that supplies high pressure oil to the vane grooves, and a second portion that supplies low pressure oil to the vane grooves. Among vane grooves which support vanes positioned in the high pressure region of the cam ring, the first portion supplies high pressure oil to vane grooves, the number of which is less than the number of vanes positioned in the high pressure region.
