Abstract

The invention has: a housing; a pump section formed of a drive gear unit and a driven gear unit; a main flow channel through which oil pressure is applied to the driven gear unit in a discharge volume reduction direction; a first branching flow channel through which oil pressure that assists oil pressure from the main flow channel is applied; a second branching flow channel through which oil pressure is applied to the driven gear unit in a discharge increase direction; a first flow channel control section; a second flow channel control section; and a spring that elastically urges the driven gear unit in a discharge increase direction. The first flow channel control section and the second flow channel control section can perform switching control in accordance with each increase or decrease of engine revolutions and in pressure.
