Abstract
Abstract The pump comprises a pump body and a volute complementary to each other which, once assembled, provide a sealed body defining a first chamber, containing a permanent magnet rotor, and a second chamber containing an impeller and provided with suction and delivery conduits. The stator body of the electric motor externally encircles the second chamber, thus never being reachable by the pumped liquid. The rotor and the impeller are kept coaxial to one another by centering means and have engagement elements which reciprocally connect them in the rotation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A centrifugal pump comprising: a first vertical hollow cylinder open at its upper end, said first cylinder being designated as a pump body and having an interior defining a first chamber; a second vertical hollow cylinder separated from the first cylinder and disposed thereabove, said first and second cylinders having a common axis, the second cylinder being open at its lower end, being designated as a volute, and having an interior defining a second chamber, the open ends of the first and second cylinders being sealed together; a permanent magnet rotor disposed in the first chamber and rotatable about the axis; an impeller rotatable about the axis and disposed in the second chamber; coupling means interconnecting the rotor and impeller in rotative relationship; centering means interconnecting the rotor and impeller to maintain them in axial alignment; a plurality of spaced centering fins secured to the outer surface of the first cylinder and extending in the axial direction; and an electric motor stator body disposed adjacent and exterior to the first cylinder, said stator body having laminations lying in parallel planes disposed at right angles to the centering fins and having spaced apart front ends, the laminations being secured to the front ends of the fins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A centrifugal pump comprising: a first vertical hollow cylinder open at its upper end, said first cylinder being designated as a pump body and having an interior defining a first chamber; a second vertical hollow cylinder separated from the first cylinder and disposed thereabove, said first and second cylinders having a common axis, the second cylinder being open at its lower end, being designated as a volute, and having an interior defining a second chamber, the open ends of the first and second cylinders being sealed together; a permanent magnet rotor disposed in the first chamber and rotatable about the axis; an impeller rotatable about the axis and disposed in the second chamber; coupling means interconnecting the rotor and impeller in rotative relationship; centering means interconnecting the rotor and impeller to maintain them in axial alignment; a plurality of spaced centering fins secured to the outer surface of the first cylinder and extending in the axial direction; and an electric motor stator body disposed adjacent and exterior to the first cylinder, said stator body having laminations lying in parallel planes disposed at right angles to the centering fins and having spaced apart front ends, the laminations being secured to the front ends of the fins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
201 words
A centrifugal pump comprising: a first vertical hollow cylinder open at its upper end, the first cylinder being designated as a pump body and having an interior defining a first chamber; a second vertical hollow cylinder separated from the first cylinder and disposed thereabove, the first and second cylinders having a common axis, the second cylinder being open at its lower end and being designated as a volute, the second cylinder having an interior defining a second chamber, the upper end of the first cylinder and the lower end of the second cylinder being sealed together; a permanent magnet rotor disposed in the first chamber and rotatable about the axis; an impeller disposed in the second chamber and rotatable about the axis; centering means interconnecting the rotor and impeller to maintain them in axial alignment; an electrical motor stator body disposed adjacent and exterior to the first cylinder; and an end of the rotor adjacent the impeller has a toroidal border defining a hooking element and the end of the impeller adjacent the rotor has an annular groove in which the said rotor end is disposed, the annular groove having an inner annular ridge which is engaged by the hooking element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
201 words
A centrifugal pump comprising: a first vertical hollow cylinder open at its upper end, the first cylinder being designated as a pump body and having an interior defining a first chamber; a second vertical hollow cylinder separated from the first cylinder and disposed thereabove, the first and second cylinders having a common axis, the second cylinder being open at its lower end and being designated as a volute, the second cylinder having an interior defining a second chamber, the upper end of the first cylinder and the lower end of the second cylinder being sealed together; a permanent magnet rotor disposed in the first chamber and rotatable about the axis; an impeller disposed in the second chamber and rotatable about the axis; centering means interconnecting the rotor and impeller to maintain them in axial alignment; an electrical motor stator body disposed adjacent and exterior to the first cylinder; and an end of the rotor adjacent the impeller has a toroidal border defining a hooking element and the end of the impeller adjacent the rotor has an annular groove in which the said rotor end is disposed, the annular groove having an inner annular ridge which is engaged by the hooking element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The pump as set forth in claim 2 wherein said impeller after hooking to said rotor is free to rotate relatively to the latter, as the hooking is not a stable association.
