Abstract
Provided is a vacuum pump mechanism capable of suppressing occurrence of needless drive torque. A suction port arranged at a housing is connected to a brake master back of a brake booster, and an oil regulating unit capable of adjusting a quantity of lubricating oil flowing through a lubricating oil supply passage when the brake master back reaches a predetermined negative pressure. Accordingly, when the brake master back reaches the predetermined negative pressure, the oil regulating unit adjusts the quantity of lubricating oil flowing through the lubricating oil supply passage to a reduced quantity or zero, whereby a load exerted by the lubricating oil to a vane and the like of a vacuum pump can be reduced than before. Therefore, occurrence of a needless drive torque at the vacuum pump can be suppressed.
