Abstract

Abstract A wet-motor pump having the rotor and the bearings utilize the pumped liquid, whereas the dry stator chamber with the stator windings is separated from and sealed against the rotor chamber through a tube-shaped can. The ends of the winding wires extend freely outwards on one side of the stator stack of sheets such as through an opening in the motor housing to be connectable to electric connections of a connection box mounted on the motor housing. A power cable for supply of energy to the windings is inserted in the connection box. The ends of the windings are connected to winding terminals in the stator chamber. The winding terminals are connectable to contacts and a plug. The plug comprising a shaft surrounding and isolating the contact may be inserted through the opening in the housing and into the stator chamber. As a result, a pump is obtained whereby the electric connections between the ends of the windings and the connections in the connection box may be provided in a simple and quick manner.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 264 words
A wet-motor pump of compact design having a rotor with bearings utilizing a pumped liquid and comprising: a dry stator chamber (9) surrounding in an annular fashion a wet-rotor chamber (2) sealed from said dry stator chamber by means of a tube-shaped can (10); a stator stack of sheets (11); a connection box (20) mounted on a motor housing (17); a power cable to be connected for the supply of energy to a pair of winding bundles (13, 14) being extended from said stator stack of sheets being insertable in said connection box, and wherein the ends (22) of the wires of said winding bundles are connected to a plurality of winding terminals (23) which are situated at the stator (11, 12, 15, 16) and insertable in the motor housing (17) as a unit; with the contacts (27) of a plug (21) capable of being inserted transversally to the axis of the rotor and being connected to said winding terminals, and that said plug, provided with a shaft (28) isolating the plug, is insertable in the stator chamber (9) through an opening (26) in the motor housing, wherein the pair of winding bundles on each side of the stator stack of sheets are supported by a plastic protecting cover (15, 16) and wherein a socket (24) is formed on a portion of said plastic protecting cover (16) and receives the plurality of winding terminals (23) situated side-by-side in a row, said plurality of winding terminals being adapted to mount the contacts (27) in the correct position in said opening (26) in the motor housing.
