Abstract
An aeration preventing apparatus including a partition erected on an upper surface of a bottom wall portion of a case member to separate a reservoir space of oil into a radially inward space and a radially outward space and provided with openings formed over a whole circumference in the partition so as to communicate the radially inward space and the radially outward space, an oil passage forming part forming an oil passage from a suction port facing the radially inward space to an oil pump, a movable plate formed in a substantially arc shape and disposed facing a peripheral surface of the partition so as to cover a part of the openings, and a plate support supporting the movable plate to be movable along the peripheral surface of the partition by a gravitational or inertial force acting on the movable plate.
Claims7
An aeration preventing apparatus, comprising:
- a case member installed in a vehicle and including a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion to form a reservoir space for accumulating an oil supplied from an oil pump;
- a partition erected on an upper surface of the bottom wall portion and formed in a substantially cylindrical shape about an axial line in a vertical direction to separate the reservoir space into a radially inward space and a radially outward space, the partition including openings formed over a whole circumference in the partition so as to communicate the radially inward space and the radially outward space;
- an oil passage forming part configured to form an oil passage from a suction port facing the radially inward space to the oil pump;
- a movable plate formed in a substantially arc shape about the axial line and disposed facing a peripheral surface of the partition so as to cover a part of the openings;
- and
- a plate support configured to support the movable plate to be movable along the peripheral surface of the partition by a gravitational or inertial force acting on the movable plate.
