[00030] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments are shown. This disclosure may however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[00031] The present invention relates to a water pump, and more particularly the present invention relates to an electric water pump for thermal management system used in vehicles.
[00032] Referring Fig 2, Fig 3, Fig 4, Fig 5, and Fig 6, an electric water pump with integrated rotor (100), the pump (100) includes a housing (40), the housing (40) made up of but not limited to metal or non metal or plastic or thermoplastic, a
volute casing (10) including atleast one inlet (170) and atleast one outlet (180), the volute casing (10) made up of but not limited to metal or non metal or plastic or thermoplastic well known in the art, the volute casing (10) coupled to housing (40) by fastening means like but not limited to spin welding or press fitting or alike, a shaft (140) coupled to housing (40) by manufacturing process process like but not limited to injection molding or insert molding or press fitting or snap fitting or casting or alike, the shaft (140) made up of but not limited to stainless steel, a stator assembly (50) coupled to housing (40) by fastening means, a rotor assembly (20), a cover (110) coupled to housing (40) by fasteners (80) and a controller (70) operably coupled to bottom of the housing (40)/stator assembly (50) by fasteners for controlling the speed of pump.
[00033] In an aspect of present invention both the ends of shaft (140a and 140b) including an oval shape.
[00034] In an aspect of present invention the both ends of the shaft (140) including similar the oval shape (140a and 140b).
[00035] In an aspect of present invention the oval shape (140a and 140b) at both ends of the shaft (140) achieved by but not limited to punching or hammering or pressing.
[00036] In an aspect of present invention the shaft (140) insert molded with housing.
[00037] In an aspect of present invention the oval shape (140a and 140b) of the shaft (140) avoids the rotation of shaft (140) in housing (40).
[00038] In an aspect of present invention the shaft (140) including major diameter D, major diameter of end d2 and minor diameter of end dl, wherein the diameter D greater than diameter or equal to d2 greater than diameter dl (D>=d2>dl).
[00039] In an aspect of present invention the rotor assembly (20) having a shroud (120), an impeller (190), a plurality of bushes (220) and a magnet (30).
[00040] As the shaft (140) is insert molded in the housing (40) and it is easy to fix the position in the housing (40) for insert molding, also after placing (140) in the housing (40) the shaft (140) not rotates around the axis because of oval shape. Therefore the shaft (140) requires high torque or force to disassemble or to remove from housing (40).
[00041] The non limiting operational characteristics of an integrated electric water pump (100) is explained here, when the temperature of application (e.g. but not limited to thermal management system of vehicle) is high than limited temperature, the temperature sensor gives the signal to the controller. Then Pulse-width modulation (PWM) (well known in art) of the controller (70) gives the output signal according to the temperature of application. As PWM signal is given to the motor, the stator produces rotating magnetic field, such that flux links with the rotor (20) field, then rotor (20) start to rotate at specified speed. Therefore water enters into the pump by inlet (170), it flows from the impeller (190) and enters in the rotor housing (40), exits from the outlet (180). The oval shape (140a and 1.40b) of the shaft (140) avoids the rotation of shaft (140) in housing (40).
[00042] In the above detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, however, such description should not be considered as any limitation of scope of the present invention. The structure thus conceived in the present description is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all the details may furthermore be replaced with elements having technical equivalence.
