Abstract

An electric pump includes a motor unit rotationally driving a drive shaft, and a pump unit. The pump unit includes a pump rotor that sends the fluid by a driving force of the driving shaft, and a pump housing that covers at least one side of the pump rotor. The pump housing includes an attachment surface extending in the axial direction and in contact with an attached body, first and second flow paths respectively on the suction side and the discharge side, and a partition wall positioned between pump-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path facing the pump rotor, and extends in a direction along the attachment surface, and locations of attachment-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path on the attachment surface are displaced from each other on the attachment surface in the axial direction.

Claims (29)

1. An electric pump comprising:

a motor that includes a drive shaft, and rotationally drives the drive shaft; and

a pump that is positioned on one side in an axial direction along the drive shaft with respect to the motor, and sucks and discharges a fluid,

wherein

the pump includes

a pump rotor that sends the fluid from a suction side to a discharge side by rotating by a driving force of the drive shaft, and

a pump housing that covers at least the one side of the pump rotor, the pump housing includes

an attachment surface that extends in the axial direction and is in contact with an attached body,

a first flow path and a second flow path in which the fluid flows, one flow path is on the suction side, and the other flow path is on the discharge side, and

a partition wall that is positioned between pump-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path facing the pump rotor, and extends in a direction along the attachment surface, and

locations of attachment-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path on the attachment surface are displaced from each other on the attachment surface in the axial direction,

wherein the locations of the attachment-side openings are displaced on the attachment surface in a direction intersecting the axial direction.

2. An electric pump comprising:

a motor that includes a drive shaft, and rotationally drives the drive shaft; and

a pump that is positioned on one side in an axial direction along the drive shaft with respect to the motor, and sucks and discharges a fluid,

wherein

the pump includes

a pump rotor that sends the fluid from a suction side to a discharge side by rotating by a driving force of the drive shaft, and

a pump housing that covers at least the one side of the pump rotor, the pump housing includes

an attachment surface that extends in the axial direction and is in contact with an attached body,

a first flow path and a second flow path in which the fluid flows, one flow path is on the suction side, and the other flow path is on the discharge side, and

a partition wall that is positioned between pump-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path facing the pump rotor, and extends in a direction along the attachment surface, and

locations of attachment-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path on the attachment surface are displaced from each other on the attachment surface in the axial direction, wherein

each of the pump-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path is an arc-shaped opening extending a circumferential direction around the drive shaft,

each of the first flow path and the second flow path has a port portion recessed from each of the pump-side openings of the first flow path and the second flow path to the one side in the axial direction,

the first flow path has an extension portion that extends from one of the attachment-side openings toward an inside of the pump housing and is connected to one end of the port portion in the circumferential direction, and

the second flow path has an attachment-side extension portion extending from the other one of the attachment-side openings toward the inside of the pump housing, and a pump-side extension portion that extends from the attachment-side extension portion to a direction intersecting the attachment-side extension portion and the axial direction and is connected to one end of the port portion in the circumferential direction.

3. The electric pump according to claim 2 , wherein the one end of the port portion is recessed toward the one side in the axial direction in the first flow path than in the second flow path.

4. The electric pump according to claim 2 , wherein the extension portion of the first flow path intersects the pump-side extension portion of the second flow path as viewed from the axial direction.
