ABSTRACT:
A variable-displacement vane pump apparatus is composed of a pump part and a switching valve. The pump part is comprised of a housing, a cam ring, a rotor, plural vanes, side plates, two pairs of intake and exhaust ports formed on the side plates, discharge pressure chambers connecting with the discharge ports, and an intake chamber connected with the intake ports. The pump part is divided into first and second pump portions, and only one of the pump portions is activated by the operation of the switching valve when the load pressure is low. Under such condition, the fluid discharged from the particular pump portion is returned to its intake port. Also, the flow rate of the operation fluid discharged from the pump is adjusted by the flow control valve by returning part of pressurized fluid into the inlet ports. A fluid supplied from a reservoir is energized two times by supercharge effect utilizing the returned fluid from the switching valve and the returned fluid from the flow control valve. The vane pump is further provided with a special arrangement to lower the pressure at the bottoms of slits receiving the vanes at the time period when the slits located in the particular pump portion, thereby reducing the energy loss.
