Since the direction of the first acting force is inclined with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, the first acting force has a first component force that is perpendicular to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the maglev pump 10, or in the radial direction of the maglev pump 10, and the second component force is directed away from the fixed magnet 200, in addition to the first component force that cooperates with the attractive force between the stator 610 and the rotor magnet 500 and the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 to axially levitate the impeller 300, and the second component force can achieve the radial levitation of the impeller 300.

Referring to fig. 2, for example, in the illustrated embodiment, the magnetic poles on the side where the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 are close to each other are both N poles, and correspondingly, the side of the fixed magnet 200 close to the stator 610 is N poles. It is understood that in other embodiments, the magnetic poles on the side of the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 close to each other may be both S-poles, and in this case, the magnetic pole on the side of the fixed magnet 200 close to the stator 610 is S-pole.
Referring to fig. 3, in order to make the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 act on the impeller 300 to generate a first acting force in a direction inclined with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200 and make the first acting force have a first component parallel to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, an embodiment shown in the figure provides a solution: in the magnetizing direction of the moving magnet 400, the moving magnet 400 has a first pole end 410 and a second pole end 420 facing away from the first pole end 410, and the first pole end 410 is close to the stator 610; in the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, the fixed magnet 200 has a third magnetic pole end 210 and a fourth magnetic pole end 220 away from the third magnetic pole end 210, the third magnetic pole end 210 is close to the stator 610, wherein the first magnetic pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 is closer to the stator 610 than the third magnetic pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200, the magnetic pole of the first magnetic pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 is the same as the magnetic pole of the third magnetic pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200, and the magnetic pole of the second magnetic pole end 420 of the moving magnet 400 is the same as the magnetic pole of the fourth magnetic pole end 220 of the fixed magnet 200. During rotation of the impeller 300, the second pole end 420 of the moving magnet 400 is closer to the stator 610 than the fourth pole end 220 of the fixed magnet 200, and the third pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is closer to the stator 610 than the second pole end 420 of the moving magnet 400. Wherein, one side of the magnetic member 700 near the impeller 300 has the same magnetic pole as the first magnetic pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400. At this time, the direction of the first component is a direction toward the stator 610, that is, the direction of the first component is axially downward.
In the illustrated embodiment, the second magnetic force acts as a repulsive force, the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is inclined with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, and the second magnetic force acts on the impeller 300 to generate a force in a direction perpendicular to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200 and directed toward the fixed magnet 200. That is, the second force generated by the second magnetic force acting on the impeller 300 is inclined upward with respect to the axial direction of the maglev pump 10 and is inclined toward the central axis direction of the fixed magnet 200. In other words, the second magnetic force action can generate a third component force on the impeller 300, which is parallel to the charging direction of the fixed magnet 200 and directed opposite to the direction of the first component force (i.e., the third component force is directed axially upward), and a fourth component force, which is perpendicular to the direction of the third component force and directed toward the direction in which the fixed magnet 200 is located (i.e., the third component force is directed toward the straight line in which the central axis of the fixed magnet 200 is located radially or toward the central column 120).
Then, during the levitation rotation of the impeller 300, the impeller 300 is forced by the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, the attraction force between the rotor magnet 500 and the stator 610, and the second magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the magnetic member 700 as follows, as shown in fig. 4: the attractive force between the stator 610 and the rotor magnet 500 causes the impeller 300 to experience an axially downward force F1; the first magnetic action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 subjects the impeller 300 to a first force F2 inclined downward with respect to the axial direction, which F2 can be decomposed into a first component F21 inclined downward in the axial direction and a second component F22 in the radial direction; the second magnetic force acts to subject the impeller 300 to a second obliquely upward force F3, F3 which can be resolved into an axially upward third component F31 and a radially fourth component F32.
Assuming that the relative position of the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 in fig. 3 is the position of the impeller 300 in the expected stable levitation rotation state, the height difference between the first magnetic-pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third magnetic-pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 in the axial direction is h0The impeller 300 is brought to a desired position of stable suspension in the axial direction by the combined action of F1, F21 and F31.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, when the impeller 300 is deviated from the stable levitation position in the axial direction away from the stator 610, the height difference between the first magnetic-pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third magnetic-pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is ht1And h ist1<h0The first magnetic force action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 is reduced, i.e., the component F21 axially downward is smaller to F21'; as the axial distance between rotor magnet 500 and stator 610 increases and the attractive force between stator 610 and rotor magnet 500 decreases, F1 decreases to F1'; magnetic fieldThe distance between the force piece 700 and the movable magnet 400 is increased, the second magnetic force action between the force piece 700 and the movable magnet 400 is reduced, the component force F31 in the axial direction is reduced to F31 ', and at this time, in order to enable the impeller 300 to move axially downwards to return to the position of a stable suspension state, F31' < F21 '+ F1';
referring to fig. 7 and 8, when the impeller 300 is deviated from the stable levitation position in the axial direction toward the stator 610, the height difference between the first pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is ht2And h ist2>h0The first magnetic force action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 increases, i.e., the axially downward component force F21 increases to F21 "; the axial distance between the rotor magnet 500 and the stator 610 decreases, the attractive force between the stator 610 and the rotor magnet 500 increases, and F1 increases to F1 "; the distance between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is reduced, the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is increased, and the component force F31 in the axial direction is increased to F31 ″, at which time F31 "> F21" + F1 "is required in order to enable the impeller 300 to move axially upward to return to the position of the stable levitation state.
In one embodiment, in order to realize that F31 ' < F21 ' + F1 ' when the impeller 300 is deviated from the stable levitation position in the direction axially away from the stator 610, and F31 "> F21" + F1 "when the impeller 300 is deviated from the stable levitation position in the direction axially toward the stator 610, then the third component F31 of the second force F3 generated by the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 acting on the impeller 300 may be decreased at a rate greater than the first component F21 of the first force F2 generated by the first magnetic force between the fixed magnet 200 and the moving magnet 400 acting on the impeller 300 when the height difference between the first magnetic pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third magnetic pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is decreased (i.e., when the impeller 300 is moved axially downward), the third component F31 of the second force F3 generated by the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 acting on the impeller 300 also increases at a rate greater than the first component F21 of the first force F2 generated by the first magnetic force between the fixed magnet 200 and the moving magnet 400 acting on the impeller 300. That is, when the height difference between the first pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is changed, the rate of change in the magnitude of the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is greater than the rate of change in the magnitude of the first magnetic force action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, and F31 ' < F21 ' + F1 ', F31 "> F21" + F1 "can be realized.
The moving magnet 400 is fixedly connected to the impeller 300, the positions of the fixed magnet 200 and the stator 610 are relatively unchanged all the time, the distance that the moving magnet 400 moves in the axial direction relative to the fixed magnet 200 is equal to the distance that the impeller 300 moves in the axial direction relative to the stator 610, that is, along with the change of the distance between the impeller 300 and the stator 610, the change rate of the magnitude of the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is greater than the change rate of the magnitude of the first magnetic force action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, that is, F31 ' < F21 ' + F1 ', F31 > F21 "+ F1"; more specifically, as the distance between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 changes, the rate of change in the magnitude of the third partial force F31 in the axial direction of the second acting force F3 generated by the action of the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 on the impeller 300 is greater than the rate of change in the magnitude of the first partial force F21 in the axial direction of the first acting force F2 generated by the action of the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 on the impeller 300, that is, as the distance between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 changes, the rate of change in the magnitude of F31 is greater than the rate of change in the magnitude of F21. The rate of change in the magnitude of F31 may be calculated, for example, such that the difference in height between the first pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 and the third pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200 is ht2The rate of change of the magnitude of F31 is equal to the magnitude of F31' minus the magnitude of F31, and the absolute value of the difference is divided by the magnitude of F31, correspondingly, at a height difference of ht2The rate of change of the magnitude of F21 is equal to the magnitude of F21 "minus the magnitude of F21, and the absolute value of the difference is divided by the magnitude of F21.
While the rate of change of the magnitude of the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 can be greater than the rate of change of the magnitude of the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 by adjusting the magnetic densities of the fixed magnet 200 and the magnetic member 700, in one embodiment, the magnetic density of the magnetic member 700 is greater than the magnetic density of the fixed magnet 200.
When the impeller 300 is in the position of the expected stable levitation rotation state in the radial direction, the central axis of the impeller 300 coincides with the central axis of the fixed magnet 200 and the central axis of the magnetic member 700, and at this time, referring to fig. 4 and 9 again, the impeller 300 receives the force components F22 and F32 in the radial direction, and F22 in each direction received by the impeller 300 is equal, and F32 in each direction received by the impeller 300 is equal.
Referring to fig. 10, when the impeller 300 is radially offset from the central axis of the fixed magnet 200, one side of the moving magnet 400 is closer to the fixed magnet 200, the radial force F22 of the fixed magnet 200 received by the moving magnet 400 is increased to F22' on the side of the moving magnet 400 closer to the fixed magnet 200, and the radial repulsive force received by the moving magnet 400 is decreased, i.e., less than F22, on the side of the moving magnet 400 away from the fixed magnet 200, to urge the impeller 300 to automatically return to the center position.
Meanwhile, since the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is inclined with respect to the axial direction, when the impeller 300 is radially deviated from the central axis of the fixed magnet 200 (i.e., the central axis of the magnetic member 700), the radial repulsive force received in the radial direction at the side of the moving magnet 400 distant from the fixed magnet 200 is increased to F32', and the radial repulsive force received at the side of the moving magnet 400 close to the fixed magnet 200 is reduced to be less than F32; therefore, when the impeller 300 deviates from the center position in the radial direction, the existence of F32' can make the impeller 300 restore to the center position automatically and more quickly, that is, the magnetic force member 700 which is magnetized obliquely relative to the axial direction can accelerate the restoration of the impeller 300, and make the suspension of the impeller 300 in the radial direction more stable and reliable.
The specific magnitude of the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, the attractive force between the rotor magnet 500 and the stator 610, and the second magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the magnetic member 700 may be determined by considering the gravity, the fluid buoyancy, and the like of the impeller 300, the moving magnet 400, and the rotor magnet 500 together according to the actual application, and the relative positions of the moving magnet 400, the fixed magnet 200, and the magnetic member 700, and the magnet magnitude may be determined by selecting the moving magnet 400, the fixed magnet 200, and the magnetic member 700 with appropriate magnetic densities.
In the case of ensuring the clearance between the impeller 300 and the side of the pump case 100 close to the driving part 600 and allowing the interaction, the closer the axial distance between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is, the better, so as to maximize the magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400.
Specifically, the magnetic member 700 has a substantially ring-shaped configuration, the central axis of the magnetic member 700 coincides with the central axis of the stationary magnet 200, and the outer diameter of the magnetic member 700 is larger than the outer diameter of the moving magnet 400 and smaller than the inner diameter of the rotor magnet 500, so as to reduce the influence of the magnetic member 700 on the interaction between the rotor magnet 500 and the stator 610 and further ensure the magnetic force fit between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400.
In one embodiment, please refer to fig. 11, the angle α of the inclination of the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 (wherein the line AB with the arrow represents the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700) with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200 (wherein the line CD with the arrow represents the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200) is 10 ° -80 °, so that the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 can have proper axial component force and radial component force; further, the angle α of the magnetization direction of the magnetic member 700 is 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the magnetization direction of the fixed magnet 200, so that the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 can have a large axial component force and, at the same time, a suitable radial component force.
The inclination angle α in the present application refers to an acute angle formed between a straight line in which the magnetization direction of the magnetic member 700 is located and a straight line in which the magnetization direction of the fixed magnet 200 is located.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the magnetic member 700 is a conical ring, the large opening end of the magnetic member 700 faces the impeller 300, and the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is directed from the outer surface of the conical ring to the inner surface of the conical ring. It is understood that in other embodiments, the magnetic member 700 may be oriented from the inner surface of the conical ring to the outer surface of the conical ring, and in this case, the magnetic pole of the side of the moving magnet 400 close to the magnetic member 700 is only required to be set to be the same as the magnetic pole of the inner surface of the magnetic member 700.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 14 and 15, the magnetic member 700 is a disk-shaped ring, and the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is directed from the surface of the magnetic member 700 near the stator 610 to the surface of the magnetic member 700 near the impeller 300. It is understood that in other embodiments, the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is directed from the side of the magnetic member 700 close to the impeller 300 to the side of the magnetic member 700 close to the stator 610, and in this case, the magnetic pole of the side of the moving magnet 400 close to the magnetic member 700 is set to be the same as the magnetic pole of the side of the magnetic member 700 close to the impeller 300.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 16, the magnetic member 700 includes a plurality of magnetic blocks, the plurality of magnetic blocks are arranged in a common circle, the magnetization direction of each magnetic block is inclined with respect to the magnetization direction of the fixed magnet 200, and the plurality of magnetic blocks form a ring structure, for example, a conical ring structure like that in fig. 12, or a disc-shaped ring structure like that in fig. 14; or, there may be a gap between adjacent magnetic blocks, or there may be no gap.
Specifically, the magnetic member 700 may be mounted on the pump case 100, and may also be mounted on the driving part 600. If the maglev pump 10 is an extracorporeal pump and the pump head (the part including the pump housing 100 and the impeller 300) is disposable, the magnetic member 700 is preferably mounted on the driving part 600, so that the magnetic member 700 can be reused with the driving part 600, thereby reducing the cost of the maglev pump 10 and reducing the waste of resources.
The magnetic suspension pump 10 has at least the following advantages:
(1) the magnetic force member 700 is disposed between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 of the magnetic suspension pump 10, the moving magnet 400 and the rotor magnet 500 are fixedly connected to the impeller 300, the fixed magnet 200 is fixedly connected to the center post 120, an attractive force is provided between the stator 610 and the rotor magnet 500, a first magnetic force action is provided between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, the impeller 300 can be far away from the center post 120 by the first repulsive force, the impeller 300 can be close to the stator 610, a second magnetic force action is provided between the magnetic force member 700 and the moving magnet 400, and the impeller 300 can be suspended in the fluid cavity 110 under the combined action of the attractive force, the first repulsive force and the second repulsive force, so that the suspension of the impeller 300 is realized. For the blood pump using the separated disposable pump head (including the pump housing 100 and the impeller 300), compared with the permanent magnet installed on the pump head (for example, the pump housing 100 of the pump head) for realizing the stable suspension of the impeller 300, the above-mentioned magnetic suspension pump 10 can realize the stable suspension of the impeller 300 by arranging the magnetic member 700 between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 of the driving part 600, and can also conveniently install the magnetic member 700 on the driving part 600 for reuse with the driving part 600, so as to reduce the parts discarded along with the pump head, reduce the use cost of the magnetic suspension pump 10, improve the economy, and reduce the resource waste.
(2) Because the suspension state of the impeller 300 is not the suspension at the constant position, during the rotation of the impeller 300, disturbance to the impeller 300 may be caused due to the change of the rotation speed or the influence of the sudden change of the instant force, so that the impeller 300 deviates from the expected stable suspension position, especially axially, the conventional maglev pump 10 usually adjusts the current of the coil 616 of the stator 610 to compensate the axial force, so as to maintain the axial suspension of the maglev pump 10, however, this way may cause the power consumption of the maglev pump 10 to be larger, and increases the power consumption of the maglev pump 10.
The maglev pump 10 of the present application is designed by the above-described structure, and when the distance between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 changes, the rate of change of the second magnetic force action between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is greater than the rate of change of the first magnetic force action between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200, so that when the impeller 300 is about to deviate or has deviated from the stable levitation position in the direction axially away from the stator 610, the resultant force of the axially downward component force of the first magnetic force action and the downward attractive force of the stator 610 to the rotor magnet 500, which the impeller 300 is subjected to, is greater than the axially upward component force of the second magnetic force action to prevent the impeller 300 to be moved upward or to urge the impeller 300 that has moved upward downward, and when the impeller 300 is about to deviate or has deviated from the stable levitation position in the direction axially toward the stator 610, the axially downward component force of the first magnetic force action and the downward attractive force of the stator 610 to the rotor magnet 500, which the impeller 300 is subjected to, are less than the shaft of the second magnetic force action The component force is upward to prevent the impeller 300 to be moved downward or to promote the impeller 300 which has moved downward to move upward, so that the impeller 300 can be suspended more stably even without the axial force compensation of the stator 610 on the impeller 300, and compared with the conventional magnetic suspension pump 10, the suspension of the impeller 300 of the magnetic suspension pump 10 is more stable and reliable, and the power consumption is smaller.
(3) The magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is inclined with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, so that the recovery of the impeller 300 in the radial direction can be accelerated, and the suspension of the impeller 300 in the radial direction is more stable and reliable.
It should be noted that the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is not limited to be inclined with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, and in some embodiments, the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 may also be parallel to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200 and directed away from the stator 610, at this time, the second acting force generated by the second magnetic force acting on the impeller 300 does not have a radial fourth component, and the second acting force is only an axial force, because the radial component of the inclined second acting force on the impeller 300 is to accelerate the recovery of the impeller 300 to quickly return the impeller 300 to the stable position, and the radial component of the first acting force generated by the first magnetic force acting on the impeller 300 between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 can maintain the radial suspension of the impeller 300, and therefore, the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 may also be parallel with respect to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200.
Then, when the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is parallel to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, in some embodiments, the magnetic member 700 may have a form of a disc or a disc ring, in which the central axis of the magnetic member 700 coincides with the central axis of the fixed magnet 200, and the magnetizing direction of the magnetic member 700 is parallel to the central axis of the magnetic member 700.
In other embodiments, the magnetic member 700 includes a plurality of magnetic blocks disposed around the central axis of the fixed magnet 200, the plurality of magnetic blocks are co-circular, and there may or may not be a gap between adjacent magnetic blocks. At this time, each of the magnetic blocks is magnetized in a direction parallel to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200.
In addition, in other embodiments, the first force generated by the first magnetic force between the moving magnet 400 and the fixed magnet 200 acting on the impeller 300 may also be directed away from the stator 610, i.e., axially upward, in a direction of the first component parallel to the charging direction of the fixed magnet 200. At this time, in order to make the first acting force have a component force upward in the axial direction, one of the schemes may be: the first pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 is farther from the stator 610 than the third pole end 210 of the fixed magnet 200, the second pole end 420 of the moving magnet 400 is farther from the stator 610 than the fourth pole end 220 of the fixed magnet 200, and the first pole end 410 of the moving magnet 400 is farther from the stator 610 than the fourth pole end 220 of the fixed magnet 200. Correspondingly, the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is an attractive force, and then the second magnetic force can generate a second force on the impeller 300 which is axially downward or has a component force axially downward. Due to the scheme, the magnetic member 700 is still arranged between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 of the driving part 600, and the magnetic member 700 can be conveniently installed on the driving part 600 and can be reused with the driving part 600, so that the number of parts discarded along with the pump head is reduced, the use cost of the magnetic suspension pump 10 is reduced, the economy is improved, and the resource waste is reduced.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first force generated by the first magnetic force acting on the impeller 300 is still directed away from the stator 610 in the direction of the first component parallel to the magnetizing direction of the fixed magnet 200, i.e. axially upward, and the second magnetic force between the magnetic member 700 and the moving magnet 400 is a repulsive force, so that the second force generated by the second magnetic force acting on the impeller 300 is axially upward or has an axially upward component, and a larger attractive force is required between the stator 610 and the rotor magnet 500 to ensure the axial suspension of the impeller 300. According to the scheme, the magnetic member 700 is still arranged between the impeller 300 and the stator 610 of the driving part 600, and the magnetic member 700 can be conveniently installed on the driving part 600 and can be reused with the driving part 600, so that parts discarded along with the pump head are reduced, the use cost of the magnetic suspension pump 10 is reduced, the economy is improved, and the resource waste is reduced.
The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above examples only show some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the claims. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
