Claims15
A vacuum pump for vehicles comprising:
- a motor housing provided with an air inlet through which air is sucked;
- a pump unit disposed on the motor housing to generate a vacuum using the air sucked through the air inlet;
- and the pump unit comprising a rotor unit rotated by driving force generated from a motor;
- a cam ring into which the rotor unit is inserted;
- a base plate installed under the cam ring, and provided with a suction hole and a discharge hole;
- and an upper plate installed on the cam ring to cover the upper surface of the rotor unit,
- a chamber unit, the inside of which is divided, disposed on the pump unit, wherein the chamber unit includes:
- an inner cap to cover the upper portion of the pump unit;
- and
- an outer cap to cover the upper portion of the inner cap,
- wherein the inner cap and the outer cap are communicated with each other,
- wherein the inner cap includes at least one opening to move exhaust air generated from the pump unit to the outer cap,
- wherein a volume of a space between the inner cap and the outer cap is larger than a volume of a passage of the at least one opening of the inner cap so that the exhausted air from the inner cap is diffused.
