Abstract

.cndot. A pump system comprises a pump assembly and a control assembly. The pump assembly comprises a casing, a helical vane for moving fluid, and a permanent magnet. The casing has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The helical vane is housed inside the casing. The permanent magnet is securely attached to the bottom portion of the helical vane. The control assembly comprises a casing, a control circuitry, and a plurality of electromagnets. The electromagnets are securely attached to the top portion of the casing. The helical vane is capable of minimising turbulent flow and of maximising laminar flow inside the pump assembly. The control circuitry is capable of generating magnetic field by energising the electromagnets. Sequentially changing magnetic field of the electromagnets causes the helical vane to rotate. This invention relates to pump systems with an Archimedes spiral screw, and the principal use of the invention is for circulating fluid.

Description

Description Title = Magnetically Driven Archimedes Spiral Screw Pump Technical Field = This invention relates to pump systems for circulating fluid, more particularly to a pump system with an Archimedes spiral screw.

Background Art = There are many instances where it would be desirable to be able to move fluids with a magnetically-driven Archimedes spiral screw as a fluid mover in ultra-long life, ultra-low wear pumps.

= A number of patents disclose various systems for moving fluids with helical vanes.

= U.S. Patent 4 239 449 discloses "Screw pump construction". A
hydraulic screw pump is provided having a rotatable screw which may comprise a helical blade disposed within an enclosed full or open half cylinder. In half-cylindrical constructions the helical blade rotates relative to a half cylinder which may be formed of concrete. The enclosed screw pumps may have the helical blades welded to the inner periphery of a surrounding metal cylinder so as to rotate therewith, or be welded to said surrounding metal cylinder and also to an inner cylinder which provides axial reinforcement.

= U.S. Patent 4 957 504 discloses "Implantable blood pump". The pump includes a stator having a cylindrical opening, an annular array of electromagnets carried by the stator concentric with the cylindrical opening and lying in a plane transverse to the axis of the opening, a bearing carried by the stator and extending across the cylindrical opening, and a rotor supported by the bearing for rotation about the axis of the cylindrical opening, the rotor being in the form of an Archimedes screw and having a permanent magnet in its periphery which lies in the same plane as the array of electromagnets.

= U.S. Patent 6 447 275 discloses "Screw pump". A screw pump includes a screw rotatably arranged in a housing, the threads of which are partially in engagement with a rotatable sealing device having radial sealing discs, whereby the screw area of the screw, including thread grooves and thread walls, are formed by a generatrix which is a part of a circle arc, the circle of which is rotatable around an eccentric rotation axis when the generatrix rotates around the axis of the screw and is displaced along this with a velocity being proportional to the rotational velocity of the screw.

= U.S. Patent 6 527 699 discloses "Magnetic suspension blood pump". This invention is a non-contact axial flow turbo blood pump for propelling blood, which is composed of a pump housing that defines a pump axis, with inlet, outlet openings at opposite axial ends of the pump housing, a rotor unit that defines a rotor axis, and opposing rotor axial ends. The pump magnetically suspends the rotor within the pump housing at the rotor axial ends so as to avoid causing physical contact between the housing to define fluid gaps between the rotor axial ends, and the magnetic suspension elements.

= Canadian Patent 2 327 490 discloses "Magnetically Erected Wind-Effect Display Device". The wind-effect element of the rotor assembly is capable of rotating around the central axis of rotation by an external force exerted by wind pressure.
This prior art demonstrates the effectiveness of the helical vane with magnetic bearing for moving fluid.

= These prior art arrangements do not have a pump system having Archimedes spiral screw with edge-energisation and passive magnetic bearing. The impeller used in conventional centrifugal pumps causes turbulent flow with high level of noise and vibration, and may create cavitation which leads to short life and high wear of the pump mechanism.

Description of the Invention = It is a primary object of the invention to provide a pump system for circulating fluid with an Archimedes spiral screw.
= It is another object of the invention to provide a pump system with a helical vane which is capable of minimising turbulent flow and of maximising laminar flow.

= It is another object of the invention to provide a pump system with a helical vane which is housed in a casing without penetration of a shaft seal which causes liquid leak.

= It is another object of the invention to provide a pump system with a helical vane which has permanent magnets to be driven by electromagnets.

= It is another object of the invention to provide a pump system with a helical vane which rotates around a rotational axis by sequentially changing magnetic field of the electromagnets.
= It is another object of the invention to provide a pump system with passive magnetic bearing in order to avoid physical contact.

= A pump system comprises a pump assembly and a control assembly. The pump assembly comprises a casing, a helical vane for moving fluid, and a permanent magnet. The casing has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The helical vane is housed inside the casing. The permanent magnet is securely attached to the bottom portion of the helical vane. The control assembly comprises a casing, a control circuitry, and a plurality of electromagnets. The electromagnets are securely attached to the top portion of the casing. The helical vane is capable of minimising turbulent flow and of maximising laminar flow inside the pump assembly. The control circuitry is capable of generating magnetic field by energising the electromagnets. Sequentially changing magnetic field of the electromagnets causes the helical vane to rotate.
