[0037] For reference Figures 1 to 7As shown, according to the embodiment of the present application, an oil pump comprises a first rotating part 1, a second rotating part 2 and a partition part 3; the first rotating part 1 is provided with a cavity, and the second rotating part 2 and the partition part 3 are arranged in the cavity; the inner wall of the first rotating part 1 is provided with a protruding part 11, and the end of the protruding part 11 away from the inner wall of the first rotating part 1 is connected with the partition part 3, so as to separate the cavity into at least two working chambers, and the working chambers are isolated from each other; the second rotating part 2 is connected with the first rotating part 1, so that the second rotating part 2 drives the first rotating part 1 to rotate. By arranging the partition part 3 and the protruding part 11, the cavity is separated into at least two working chambers, the space occupied by the second rotating part 2 is reduced, and the space occupied by the partition part 3 and the second rotating part 2 is far less than the space occupied by the gear in the prior art, thereby effectively increasing the effective oil pumping volume of the oil pump, realizing the delivery of large oil volume in a short time, reducing the friction and wear between each friction pair in the equipment to be lubricated, taking away more heat generated by the friction between the friction pairs, enhancing the reliability of the equipment to be lubricated, and reducing the production cost and the weight of the whole machine under the premise of ensuring the oil supply.

[0038] Further, the protruding part 11 is integrally formed with the first rotating part 1.

[0039] Further, the first rotating part 1 is in a ring structure, and the cavity is the internal space surrounded by the first rotating part 1.

[0040] Further, in one embodiment, the first rotating part 1 is in a circular ring shape, and the second rotating part 2 is in a circular shape.

[0041] Further, one end of the protruding part 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the first rotating part 1, and the other end extends to the inside of the first rotating part 1.

[0042] Further, the working chambers are arranged along the circumferential direction of the first rotating part 1 and the partition part 3, the working chambers are arranged on the outside of the partition part 3, and the working chambers are arranged on the inside of the first rotating part 1.

[0043] Further, the second rotating part 2 is arranged eccentrically with the first rotating part 1.

[0044] Further, the second rotating part 2 is located on the rotation path of the working chamber, and with the rotation of the first rotating part, the volume of the working chamber containing oil gradually decreases, thereby causing the oil in the working chamber to be discharged. After the oil in the working chamber is discharged, new oil is sucked into the working chamber, forming a cycle.

[0045] The partition part 3 is provided with a first groove, and a part of the second rotating part 2 is arranged in the first groove. By arranging the first groove, the space occupied by the partition part 3 and the second rotating part 2 is further reduced, and the effective oil pumping volume of the oil pump is effectively increased.

[0046] Further, the position of the partition member 3 is fixed, and the opening of the first groove faces the second rotating member 2.

[0047] The second rotating member 2 and the partition member 3 are in sealing contact, preventing oil from entering the evacuated working chamber.

[0048] Further, when the second rotating member 2 rotates into the second groove 21, the outer wall of the second rotating member 2 is in sealing contact with the groove wall of the second groove 21, preventing oil from flowing into the evacuated working chamber.

[0049] The side of the second rotating member 2 away from the partition member 3 is in sealing contact with the first rotating member 1, preventing oil from entering the evacuated working chamber.

[0054] Further, when the protruding part 11 rotates to the area where the second rotating member 2 is located, the protruding part 11 is inserted into the second groove 21. When the protruding part 11 rotates to the area away from the second rotating member 2, the protruding part 11 is separated from the second groove 21.

[0055] The cross section of the second groove 21 decreases along the direction from the groove opening to the groove bottom of the second groove 21, and the cross section of the protruding part 11 decreases along the direction from the inner wall of the first rotating member 1 to the partition member 3, ensuring stable connection of the protruding part 11 with the first rotating member 1 while further reducing the space occupied by the protruding part 11 and increasing the effective pumping volume of the oil pump.

[0056] Further, the shape of the second groove 21 is the same as that of the protruding part 11.

[0057] The first rotating part 1 is provided with a first transmission part, the second rotating part 2 is provided with a second transmission part, the first transmission part cooperates with the second transmission part to drive the second rotating part 2 to rotate the first rotating part 1, the length of the protruding part 11 along the direction from the inner wall of the first rotating part 1 to the partition part 3 is L1, the length of the first transmission part along the direction from the inner wall of the first rotating part 1 to the partition part 3 is L2, L1 is greater than L2, the first transmission part and the second transmission part are arranged to ensure that the second rotating part 2 can stably drive the first rotating part 1 to rotate. By making L1 greater than L2, the space occupation in the cavity is reduced, and the volume of the shape operation chamber is maximized.

[0058] Further, by making L1 greater than L2, the number of formed operation chambers is also ensured to be the same as the number of protruding parts 11.

[0060] Further, the second rotating part 2 rotates one revolution, and the first rotating part 1 rotates one-half revolution. In the present embodiment, the angular velocity of the first rotating part 1 is half the acceleration of the external gear in the prior art. At the same time, due to the increase in the effective pump oil volume, the contact area of the gear and the base is reduced, greatly reducing the friction power consumption of the oil pump.

[0061] The number of protruding parts 11 is two, and the two protruding parts 11 are arranged on the same diameter of the first rotating part 1, ensuring that the volumes and shapes of the two operation chambers are the same, effectively ensuring the stability of the oil pumping.

[0068] The oil storage cavity 42 comprises an arc segment and an oil discharge segment, and the oil discharge segment is located at the center of the circle where the arc segment is located. The arc segment is arranged to ensure the smoothness of the oil discharge from the working chamber. The oil discharge segment is arranged to ensure the smoothness of the oil discharge from the oil pump.

[0069] Further, the arc segment is in communication with the oil discharge segment, and the arc segment and the oil discharge segment form the oil storage cavity 42.

[0070] Further, the arc segment is arranged along the circumferential direction of the partition piece 3.
