<heading id="h0001"><b>FIELD OF THE INVENTION</b></heading>
<p id="p0001" num="0001">The present invention relates to a fluid transmission apparatus, and more particularly, to a vane-type fluid transmission apparatus.</p>
<heading id="h0002"><b>BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION</b></heading>
<p id="p0002" num="0002">The conventional vane-type pump generally comprises a stator, a rotor and at least one blade, wherein the stator has a room defined therein. The stator has an inlet and an outlet so that the room communicates with outside of the stator. Fluid enters into the room via the inlet and leaves the room via the outlet.</p>
<p id="p0003" num="0003">The rotor is eccentrically located in the room and the outer periphery of the rotor is in contact with the inner periphery of the room. Multiple blades are taken as an example. The rotor has slots for accommodating the blades therein. The blades each have one end pointing the center of the rotor and the other end of each of the blades is in contact with the inner periphery of the room. A space is defined between the inner periphery of the room and the outer periphery of the rotor. By the contact between the rotor, the blades and the inner periphery of the room, multiple partitions are defined to receive fluid.</p>
<p id="p0004" num="0004">When the rotor rotates back and forth, the blades are driven by the rotor and movable back and forth within the slots due to the movement of the rotor. The volumes of the partitions vary due to the back-and-forth movement of the blades, so that the fluid is sucked into the room via the inlet and leaved from the room via the outlet.<!-- EPO <DP n="2"> --></p>
<p id="p0005" num="0005">The centrifugal force generated from the blades due to the rotation of the rotor drives the blades outward so as to contact the distal ends of the blades with the inner periphery of the room to pump the fluid. However, when the viscosity of the fluid is high, there will be a gap between the distal ends and the inner periphery of the room and the transmission efficiency of the fluid is reduced.</p>

The axles of the blades are engaged with the annular groove which guides the movement of the blades. The rotor is eccentrically located in the room and the axis of each of the blades points the center of the rotor, so that the shape of the inner periphery of the room is like oval inner periphery which is difficult to be machined during manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the blades each have a certain thickness, in order to prevent interference between two adjacent distal ends of the blades and the inner periphery of the room, the distal end of each blade is made to be sharpened. The sharp distal end of the blade may vibrate when the fluid passes therethrough and noise is therefore generated. The vibration also generates partial thermo stress which accelerates fatigue of the material at the distal end of the blade.</p>

The curved face 324/344 of the second end of each of the two blades 32, 34 has a radius R3. The relationship of the three radiuses<!-- EPO <DP n="15"> --> can be expressed by the equation R3=R1-R2. The two blades 32, 34 and the first pieces 40 are pivoted about two respective centers of the curved faces 324, 344 (the axes of the axles 322, 342) such that the second ends of the two blades 32, 34 are in contact with the inner periphery 132 of the room 13. Therefore, the efficiency of transmission of the fluid is increased and the manufacturing processes for making the room 13 are simplified.</p>
<p id="p0018" num="0018">A power source (not shown) is connected to the shaft 22 to rotate the rotor 20, the blades 32, 34 are rotated about the center of the room 13 and, the blades 32, 34 are respectively rotated relative to the first and second pieces 40, 50. The blades 32, 34 are moved along the slots 23. When the rotor 20 rotates clockwise, as shown in <figref idref="f0005">Figs. 8 and 9</figref>, the space for receiving fluid in the room 13 are varied along with the rotation of the rotor 20 in the room 13, such that the fluid is sucked into the room 13 via the inlet 14 and the fluid is transmitted by the blades 32, 34 and then flows out from the outlet 15. When the rotor 20 rotates counter-clockwise, the fluid is sucked into the room 13 via the outlet 15 and the fluid is transmitted by the blades 32, 34 and then flows out from the inlet 14. Therefore, by controlling the direction of rotation of the rotor 20, the fluid can be transmitted in desired direction.</p>

The inner periphery 132 of the room 13 is around inner periphery which reduces the difficulties of machining. Furthermore, when the blades 32, 34 move in the slots 23 back and forth, because the first ends of the two blades 32, 34 point the center of the room 13, and the two slots 23 are in communication with each other via the grooves 24, so that the fluid within the space between the two respective first ends of the blades 32, 34 and the shaft 22 flows between the two slots 23 via the grooves 24. This avoids the positive/negative pressure applied to the two blades 32, 34 so that the blades 32, 34 move smoothly.</p>
