    Abstract: A pump device includes a housing, a pump element, and an on-off valve. The housing includes a suction passage defining a suction port at an upstream end, a discharge passage defining a discharge port at a downstream end, and a return passage returning a part of a fluid flowing through the discharge passage to midway of the suction passage. The pump element is accommodated in the housing and rotates around a predetermined axis to suck, pressurize, and discharge a fluid. The on-off valve opens and closes the return passage. In the suction passage upstream of an opening at which the return passage is opened to the suction passage, the housing includes a directional wall which directs a flow of a suction fluid sucked into the suction passage from the suction port to divert from a flow of a return fluid returned from the return passage.

    Abstract: A pump shaft support structure includes: a crankcase body which rotatably supports a crankshaft of an engine; a pump shaft which interlockingly rotates with the crankshaft; a crankcase cover which covers the crankcase body; a pump cover which is coupled to the crankcase cover to define a pump chamber therebetween; and a pump rotor which is disposed in the pump chamber and engages with the pump shaft. The pump shaft includes: a supported section which is rotatably supported by the pump cover on the other side of the pump chamber from the crankcase cover; and an insertion section adjoining the supported section in an axial direction. The pump cover has a through bore which passes the insertion section of the pump shaft therethrough. The insertion section of the pump shaft has a diameter smaller than that of the supported section.

    Abstract: A variable oil pump includes a pump housing, an oil pump rotor accommodated in the pump housing, an adjustment member accommodated in the pump housing and configured to adjust a discharge amount of oil discharged from the oil pump rotor by displacing in a state where the adjustment member holds the oil pump rotor from an outer circumferential side in such a manner that the oil pump rotor is rotatable, and a guide portion including a guide hole provided at the adjustment member and a pin provided at the pump housing and engaging with the guide hole. The guide portion is configured to guide a displacement of the adjustment member relative to the pump housing by allowing the guide hole and the pin to engage with each other. The variable oil pump includes a drain passage configured to drain oil accumulated in the guide hole.
