Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
An inner magnet rotor for a magnet pump including a yoke to be drivingly connected to the impeller shaft of the magnet pump, magnets of different polarities arranged alternately on the yoke, a first, metal holder for tightly holding the magnets at the front side of the yoke, first fastening means for fixing the first holder to the yoke, a second, metal holder, independent of said first holder, for tightly holding the magnets at the rear side of the yoke, and second fastening means for fixing the second holder to the yoke, the inner magnet rotor being characterized in that the first and second holders are lower than the magnets in hardness, the magnets being chamfered at each of their front and rear ends to form a bevel face, each of the first and second holders being formed with a slanting face opposed to the bevel face, the slanting face of each of the holders being at a smaller angle with the axis of the rotor than the bevel face of each of the magnets and the portion of each slanting face in contact with the corresponding bevel face being slightly compressed against that bevel face.

An inner magnet rotor for a magnet pump including a yoke to be drivingly connected to the impeller shaft of the magnet pump, magnets of different polarities arranged alternately on the yoke, a first, metal holder for tightly holding the magnets at the front side of the yoke, first fastening means for fixing the first holder to the yoke, a second, metal holder, independent of said first holder, for tightly holding the magnets at the rear side of the yoke, and second fastening means for fixing the second holder to the yoke, the inner magnet rotor being characterized in that the first and second holders are lower than the magnets in hardness, the magnets being chamfered at each of their front and rear ends to form a bevel face, each of the first and second holders being formed with a slanting face opposed to the bevel face, the slanting face of each of the holders being at a smaller angle with the axis of the rotor than the bevel face of each of the magnets and the portion of each slanting face in contact with the corresponding bevel face being slightly compressed against that bevel face.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 1 wherein the first holder is fixed to the front side of the yoke, and the second holder to the rear side of the yoke.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 1 wherein each of the first and second fastening means comprises fastening screws.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 1 wherein the first holder is fixed to the front side of the yoke, and the magnets extend over a relatively short distance compared with the axial length of the yoke and have the rear ends thereof positioned slightly beyond the midportion of the axial length of the yoke toward the rear end thereof, the second holder being fixed to the outer periphery of the yoke at a position where the second holder is in contact with the rear ends of the magnets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 4 wherein the first fastening means comprises fastening screws, and the second fastening means comprises a holding member fixed to the yoke and tightly fastening the second holder from behind.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 5 wherein the edge of the rear end face of the second holder and the edge of the front end face of the holding member are formed with respective slanting faces in contact with each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
An inner magnet rotor as defined in claim 1 wherein each of the magnets is selected from among a rare earth-cobalt magnet, rare earth-iron magnet, ferrite magnet and Alnico magnet, and the first and second holders are made of a material selected from among aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy, zinc, zinc alloy, titanium and titanium alloy.
