Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotor for an oil pump according to the present invention is a rotor that includes an inner rotor configured by teeth, each of which has a plurality of ellipses or circles, and an outer rotor that is disposed on the outside of the inner rotor and has one tooth more than the inner rotor, wherein, in a tooth of the inner rotor, a tooth top and a tooth root of a drive-side half-tooth region extending from the tooth top to the tooth root and a tooth top and a tooth root of a non-drive-side half-tooth region extending from the tooth top to the tooth root are each configured by a different ellipse or a circle. A circumferential axis along a circumferential direction of the ellipse or circle configuring the tooth top is longer in the non-drive-side half-tooth region than in the drive-side half-tooth region.
