Abstract:
A variable displacement pump comprising:a rotor being fixed to a pump shaft inserted to a pump casing and said rotor having a multiplicity of vanes in grooves; each vane is movable in a radial direction along its respective groove; said rotor capable of being rotated and driven; a cam ring fitted to an engagement hole in the pump casing so as to form a pump chamber between the cam ring and an outer peripheral portion of the rotor, said engagement hole having an adaptor ring, said cam ring being movable within the pump casing and forming first and second fluid pressure chambers between the cam ring and the pump casing; and an opening range around a pump shaft of a discharge port open to a discharge area in a downstream side in a rotor rotational direction of the pump chamber capable of being shifted toward the second fluid pressure chamber, a pressurizing cylinder being provided in an opposite side of the pump from the first fluid pressure chamber, said pressurizing cylinder and the adaptor ring holding the cam ring there between, and a piston inserted to the pressurizing cylinder which contacts the cam ring, and an oil chamber of the pressurizing cylinder being interposed in a pump discharge side passage, wherein a pressure in an upstream side of a main throttle provided in the pump discharge side passage is introduced to the first fluid pressure chamber and the oil chamber of the pressurizing cylinder, and a pressure in a downstream side of a main throttle is introduced to the second fluid pressure chamber, and the oil chamber of the pressurizing cylinder is interposed in the pump discharge side passage, a communication passage of the piston communicating the discharge side passage with the oil chamber of the pressurizing cylinder is capable of being adjusted by the main throttle whereby an opening area of the communication passage is changed by an edge of the pressurizing cylinder.
