This pump device is provided with: a pump main body which is provided with hole portions in an abutting surface on the opposite side to a side on which a pump rotor is accommodated; a motor portion provided with a rotor attached to an outer circumference of a rotating shaft, a stator core which faces an outer periphery of the rotor and an end surface of which, in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, is in contact with the abutting surface, and coils attached to the stator core with the interposition of bobbins; and a resin molded portion which integrally retains the stator core and in which positioning pins that protrude from the end surface and are inserted into the hole portions are provided integrally.",
  "claims": [
    "1. A pump device which suctions and discharges a fluid by driving of a pump rotor, comprising: a pump main body configured to accommodate the pump rotor and having at least one hole portion in an abutting surface on an opposite side to a side in which the pump rotor is accommodated; a motor portion including a rotor installed on an outer circumference of a rotating shaft, a stator core facing an outer circumference of the rotor and having an end surface of the stator core in an axial direction be in contact with the abutting surface, and a coil installed at the stator core through a bobbin; and a molded portion configured to integrally hold the stator core and integrally provided with at least one positioning pin protruding from the end surface and inserted into the corresponding hole portion, wherein a plurality of main pole teeth protruding toward an inner circumference side are provided at the stator core, and a coil winding body having a coil is installed at the main pole teeth, an insulating cover portion which covers the coil winding body protruding from the end surface is intermittently provided in the molded portion in a circumferential direction, and the positioning pin protrudes from between adjacent insulating cover portions, and a protruding height thereof is lower than a protruding height of the insulating cover portion from the end surface.",
    "2. The pump device according to claim 1, wherein a through-hole is provided in the stator core, and the through-hole passes through the stator core in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, a bottom side molded portion which supports the stator core on an opposite side to the end surface in contact with the abutting surface in the axial direction is provided at the molded portion, and the positioning pin passes through the through-hole from the bottom side molded portion and protrudes from the end surface.",
    "3. The pump device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one positioning pin comprises a plurality of the positioning pins provided in a circumferential direction of the stator core, the at least one hole portion comprises a plurality of the hole portions in a greater number than the positioning pins, and the hole portions are provided in a circumferential direction of the pump main body, and the hole portions into which the positioning pins are not inserted are screw holes, and screws which fix the stator core are screwed into the screw holes.",
    "4. The pump device according to claim 3, wherein the pump main body is formed from a die cast product, the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction of the abutting surface, an arrangement pattern of the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes includes two arrangement patterns including a first arrangement pattern of a predetermined angular arrangement and a second arrangement pattern in which positions of the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes are exchanged with respect to the first arrangement pattern, and one of the first arrangement pattern and the second arrangement pattern is provided on the abutting surface.",
    "5. The pump device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one positioning pin comprises a plurality of the positioning pins provided in a circumferential direction of the stator core, the at least one hole portion comprises a plurality of the hole portions in a greater number than the positioning pins, and the hole portions are provided in a circumferential direction of the pump main body, and the hole portions into which the positioning pins are not inserted are screw holes, and screws which fix the stator core are screwed into the screw holes.",
    "6. The pump device according to claim 5, wherein the pump main body is formed from a die cast product, the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction of the abutting surface, an arrangement pattern of the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes includes two arrangement patterns including a first arrangement pattern of a predetermined angular arrangement and a second arrangement pattern in which positions of the hole portions into which the positioning pins are inserted and the screw holes are exchanged with respect to the first arrangement pattern, and one of the first arrangement pattern and the second arrangement pattern is provided on the abutting surface.",
    "7. A method of manufacturing a pump device which suctions and discharges a fluid by driving of a pump rotor, the method comprising: installing a stator core on a wall surface of a movable mold of a mold wherein an end surface of the stator core is in contact with the wall surface; injecting a melted resin into a hollow portion formed between abutting portions in a mold closed state in which the movable mold abuts a fixed mold of the mold, to form a molded portion having a positioning pin protruding from the end surface of the stator; moving the movable mold in a mold opening state and taking out a stator module integrally formed with the stator core; and mounting the stator module to a pump main body by inserting the positioning pin into a hole portion provided in an abutting surface of the pump main body and keeping the end surface of the stator core in contact with the abutting surface."

  "description_excerpt": "The present invention relates to a pump device.\n\nIn vehicles such as automobiles, a pump device using oil is used to cool driving parts, for example, such as an engine and a motor (driving motor, power generating motor). For example, as one of such pump devices, there is a device which is driven by an electric motor as disclosed in Patent Literature 1. In a constitution disclosed in Patent Literature 1, a ring-shaped inner circumferential flange portion 213 is provided at a pump main body 21. Further, a ring-shaped portion 142a is provided on an inner diameter side of a stator module 140, and the inner circumferential flange portion 213 described above is fitted to an inner circumferential side of the ring-shaped portion 142a. By such a so-called socket and spigot fitting constitution, a position of a plane direction between the stator module 140 and the pump main body 21 is determined.\n\nFurther, an inner diameter protruding portion 216 having a hole portion is provided on an outer circumferential side in relation to the inner circumferential flange portion 213 of the pump main body 21, and a positioning metal pin for positioning between the hole portion and a stator core 60 is inserted into the hole portion. Furthermore, a positioning hole portion is also provided in the stator core 60, and the above-mentioned metal pin is inserted into the hole portion. Due to such insertion of the metal pin, a position of a rotational direction between the stator module 140 and the pump main body 21 is determined.",
