The magnetic rotatingmember 13 is disposed within theaccommodation portion 121 of thehousing 12, while the rotatingshaft 111 of the drivingmotor 11 is disposed within and penetrates through the magnetic rotatingmember 13. More specifically, the rotatingshaft 11 is disposed and penetrates through the central portion of the magnetic rotatingmember 13. The magnetic rotatingmember 13 includes alternately arranged several first surfaces 131 and several second surfaces 132, and magnetic poles of the first surfaces 131 are different from magnetic poles of the second surfaces 132. For example, magnetic poles of the first surfaces 131 are N poles, while magnetic poles of the second surfaces 132 are S poles. However, the invention is not limited to this embodiment. Themagnetic impeller unit 14 is disposed opposite to top of the magnetic rotatingmember 13 and is located within thewater drawing portion 122. Themagnetic impeller unit 14 includes alternately arranged several third surfaces 141 and several fourth surfaces 142, and magnetic poles of the third surfaces 141 are different from magnetic poles of the fourth surfaces 142. For example, magnetic poles of the third surfaces 141 are N poles, while magnetic poles of the forth surfaces 142 are S poles. However, the invention is not limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, magnetic poles of the first surfaces 131 are same to the magnetic poles of the third surfaces 141 (e.g. all are N poles), while magnetic poles of the second surfaces 132 are same to the magnetic poles of the fourth surfaces 142 (e.g. all are S poles). - It is to be noticeable that,
FIG. 2 illustrates that themagnetic impeller unit 14 includes a component named disk magnet, which will be described in detailed later. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the magnetic rotatingmember 13 is, e.g., a round disk magnet, but it is not to limit the scope of the invention. In other embodiment, the magnetic rotatingmember 13 might be a rectangular or polygon-shaped disk magnet. - Particularly, in the embodiment, the first surfaces 131 and the second surfaces 132 of the magnetic rotating
member 13 are respectively the surfaces of the first magnet units 133 and the second magnet units 134, and there are four first surfaces 131 and four second surfaces 132, respectively. In other words, there are four first magnet units 133 and four second magnet units 134, respectively.

The four first surfaces 131, the four second surfaces 132, the four third surfaces 133, and the four fourth surfaces 134 are only an embodiment of the invention and it is not to limit the scope of the invention. The number of the above-mentioned surfaces may be varied according to various practical needs. Furthermore, the above-mentioned first magnet units 133 are connected with the second magnet units 134, respectively, while the third magnet units 146 are connected with the fourth magnet units 147, respectively. - In the embodiment, when the
water pump 1 is in operation, attractive and repulsive forces are generated between the first surfaces 131/the second surfaces 132 of the magnetic rotatingmember 13 and the third surfaces 141/the fourth surfaces 142 of themagnetic impeller unit 14. Accordingly, when the drivingmotor 11 drives the rotatingshaft 11 to rotate the magnetic rotatingmember 13, it will also rotate themagnetic impeller unit 14 through the attractive and repulsive forces generated continuously between the magnetic rotatingmember 13 and themagnetic impeller unit 14. The rotation of themagnetic impeller unit 14 will generate a pressure difference between thewater inlet 1221 and thewater outlet 1222, such that the pressure at thewater outlet 1222 is higher than the pressure at thewater inlet 1221, and thus the water flow will be drew from thewater inlet 1221 and drained through thewater outlet 1222. Such a driving manner will further enhance the energy conversion efficiency of thewater pump 1. In other words, to provide driving force for the rotation of themagnetic impeller unit 14 with the attractive and repulsive forces generated continuously between the magnetic rotatingmember 13 and themagnetic impeller unit 14 will bring a better power-saving effect. - The following description is directed to subject to further detailed configuration of the
water pump 1 according to the embodiment of the invention. - Please further refer to
FIG. 1 , themagnetic impeller unit 14 further includes thedisk magnet 143, thehub 144, andseveral blades 145. Thedisk magnet 143 has a bottom surface 1430 facing the magnetic rotatingmember 13. The bottom surface 1430 includes the third surfaces 141 and the forth surfaces 142 as shown inFIG. 2 . Thehub 144 is placed on thedisk magnet 143 in a sleeve manner In this embodiment, each of theblades 145 is individually connected to thehub 144, and theblades 145 are disposed radically from thehub 14. Furthermore, theblades 145 and thehub 144 may be formed integrally. However, the above-mentioned details of this embodiment are not to limit the scope of the invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , themagnetic impeller unit 14 further includes thecover body 148 and at least abump 149. Thecover body 148 is disposed on thedisk magnet 143 and covers theblades 145. Thecover body 148 has afirst opening 1481 and at least afixing hole 1480. A space S and at least asecond opening 1482 are defined between thecover body 148 and thedisk magnet 143, wherein thefirst opening 1481 is corresponding to thewater inlet 1221, while thesecond opening 1482 is corresponding to thewater outlet 1222. There are two fixingholes 1480 formed on thecover body 148 in this embodiment, but it is not to limit the scope of the invention, and the number of the fixingholes 1480 may be varied for various practical needs. Thebump 149 is disposed on one of theblades 145. There are twobumps 149 in this embodiment, but it is not to limit the scope of the invention. Thebumps 149 is disposed opposite to the corresponding fixingholes 1480 disposed on thecover body 148. When thecover body 148 is placed on thedisk magnet 143 and covers theblades 145, thebumps 149 will penetrate through the fixingholes 1480 of thecover body 148, so as to fix thecover body 148 on thedisk magnet 143 firmly. - When water is introduced into the
water pump 1 through thewater inlet 1221 of thehousing 12, water flows into the space S through thefirst opening 1481 of the cover body 1148. Meanwhile, due to the pressure difference generated by the rotation of themagnetic impeller unit 14, the pressure at thewater outlet 1222 will be higher than the pressure at thewater inlet 1221, and thus water in the space S will flow through thesecond opening 1482, and be drained from thewater outlet 1222. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the magnetic rotatingmember 13 further includes atop surface 130. Thetop surface 130 is opposite to the bottom surface 1430 of thedisk magnet 143, and thetop surface 130 includes the above-mentioned first surfaces 131 and second surfaces 132. It is noticeable that, in this embodiment, the areas of thetop surface 130 of the magnetic rotating member and the bottom surface 1430 of thedisk magnet 143 are almost the same to each other, but it is not to limit the scope of the invention. In other embodiments, the area of thetop surface 130 of the magnetic rotating member is, e.g. smaller than the area of the bottom surface 1430 of thedisk magnet 143. - To sum up, in the water pump device of the invention, the magnetic impeller unit is disposed opposite to top of the magnetic rotating member, without any connecting member between them. The magnetic rotating member includes alternately arranged a plurality of first surfaces and a plurality of second surfaces, and magnetic poles of the first surfaces are different from magnetic poles of the second surfaces. The magnetic impeller unit includes alternately arranged a plurality of third surfaces and a plurality of fourth surfaces, and magnetic poles of the third surfaces are different from magnetic poles of the fourth surfaces. Under such structural design, when the water pump is in operation, attractive and repulsive forces are generated between the magnetic impeller and the magnetic rotating member, and thus enable the magnetic rotating member to rotate the magnetic impeller unit. Such a driving manner may enhance the energy conversion efficiency of the device, and at the same time to achieve the power saving effect.
