Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a powered aspirator unit of the type termed 'bypass' i.e. the type in which the pump suction path and the motor cooling air path are separated to prevent any sucked liquid from reaching the electrical part of the motor. Units of this type are ordinarily used in aspirator cleaners having the ability to suck liquid also.
- Usually the bypass units are supplied with a suction unit which is mounted at the motor head with the blower keyed to the drive shaft. At the opposite end of the shaft is mounted the motor cooling air circulation fan. Such an arrangement suffers principally from high axial dimension.
- In addition, in the ever more frequent case of high rotation speeds (40 to 45 thousand rpm) shaft length and spacing of the supports become very critical factors.
- Lastly, the cost of the assemblage in several parts as embodied in the prior art is relatively costly.
- EP-A-0413113 discloses a bypass aspirator unit, wherein the cooling air circulation fan is arranged between the motor and the suction fan.
- The general purpose of the present invention is to remedy the above mentioned shortcomings by making available a bypass unit having reduced space occupied, better performance and relatively reduced costs.
- In view of this purpose it was sought to provide in accordance with the present invention a powered aspirator unit, wherein the suction path and the motor cooling air path are separated, said unit comprising an electric motor having an impeller for cooling and a suction assemblage with fan keyed on the motor shaft, wherein between the motor and the fan there is a partition in which is made a seat for a bearing supporting said shaft, characterized in that the impeller extends into the radial zone of the bearing.
- To clarify the explanation of the innovative principles of the present invention and its advantages compared with the prior art there is described below with the aid of the annexed drawings a possible embodiment thereof by way of non-limiting example applying said principles. In the drawings:
- FIG 1 shows a partially cross sectioned side elevation of a unit in accordance with the present invention,
- FIG 2 shows a perspective view of a shell part of the unit of FIG 1, and
- FIG 3 shows a perspective view of a deflector part of the unit of FIG 1.
- With reference to the FIGS a 'bypass' unit indicated as a whole by
reference number 10 comprises an external shell orbowl 11 pressed from plastic material, containing astator part 12 and arotor part 13 and supported on ashaft 14 of an electric motor. - A
cap 15 completes theshell 11 and has anaxial suction inlet 16 for afan 17 keyed on the end of theshaft 14 to complete a sucking assemblage. The air pushed by the fan is evacuated throughperipheral channels 18. - The
cavity 19 containing the fan is separated from themotor cavity 20 by apartition 21 which partially embodies the evacuation channels 18 (for the rest embodied by theedge 22 of the bowl 11). On the motor side thepartition 21 is shaped with acavity 23 to form the stator part of amotor cooling impeller 24 which is keyed to theshaft 14. - The
impeller 24 sucks air longitudinally to the motor starting from theinlets 25 embodied at the base of thebowl 11. The air flow traverses the motor at 26 as shown by the arrows in FIG 1 and is evacuated through theradial openings 27 made in the wall of the bowl immediately beneath theedge 22. - A pressed
cap 35 provides a deflector arranged radially facing theevacuation openings 27 to channel the emerging flow and prevent possible recirculation. - As may be seen again in FIG 1 the
shaft 14 is supported by a first bearing 28 housed in aseat 29 in the bowl base and by a second bearing 30 housed in a seat 31 made in the thickness of thepartition 21. As may be seen in the section of FIG 1 the thickness of thepartition 21 necessary for housing the bearing is also employed for receiving thecavity 23. In other words the impeller extends into the bearing radial zone. - In FIGS 2 and 3 can be seen how the suction unit evacuation ducts are made. The ducts are formed by a
part 18a pressed in the edge of the bowl and a part 18b pressed in thepartition 21. In particular on the edge of the bowl there arechutes 18a withinlet edge 32 and direct for a first section tangentially to then bend up to the radial outlets. Similarly on thepartition 21 separated from thecavities 23 of the impeller by an O-ring 33 there are open channels 18b withinlet edge 34 coinciding with theedge 32 of the chutes. The open channels 18b follow the same trend as thechutes 18a and constitute the cover thereof to form thecomplete channels 18. The channels lead through openings made laterally in the cap. - It is now clear that the predetermined purposes have been achieved. The arrangement of the cooling impeller between suction fan and electric motor permits limiting the axial dimensions of the unit. In addition the distance between the supporting bearings is reduced. This makes possible achieving high rotation speeds.
- In addition the number of component parts of the unit is reduced and compared with the prior art embodiments the static part of the unit is reduced to three members (bowl, cap and partitions) easy to make (e.g. pressed from plastic material) and assemble. Lastly the stoutness of the assemblage is increased.
- Naturally the above description of an embodiment applying the innovative principles of the present invention is given by way of non-limiting example of said principles within the scope of the exclusive right claimed here. For example the proportions of the various parts can be different depending on specific requirements.
