Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a canned motor pump and a method for manufacturing a canned motor pump.
- US 2013/213325 A1 discloses an automotive water pump in which regions of a rotor chamber and a driver chamber are formed and a stator and a connector are implemented into an integral pump body by an insert molding method, to thus enhance a waterproof performance of the water pump and enhance an assembly through simplification of an assembly structure.
- the automotive water pump includes: a pump body in which a stator and a connector are molded in an integral structure, and a partial structure of an upper-end rotor chamber and a lower-end driver chamber is independently formed; a rotating assembly that is accommodated and combined in the rotor chamber, and that pressurizes and discharges a coolant that flows in from the outside by rotation of an impeller that is combined on top of a rotating axis according to rotation of the rotating axis to which a rotor facing the stator is fixed; and a driver cover that covers the driver chamber combined with a driver including the connector.
- EP 2 407 670 A2 discloses an electric pump, which includes a rotor rotationally supported by a housing at a rotation shaft, a stator positioned at an outer side in radial direction of the rotor and fixed to the housing, a pump portion for taking in and discharging fluid in response to a rotation of the rotor, and a can positioned in between the rotor and the stator for preventing the fluid in the pump portion from flowing into the stator.
- the can possesses conductivity.
- the stator is grounded via the can.
- a canned motor pump which includes a stator, a control board, a rotor, an impeller, a separator and the like is disclosed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-284704 (hereinafter, referred to as "PTL 1").
- a coil is wound around the stator, and a magnetic field is generated by the stator.
- the control board controls the generation of a magnetic field by the stator.
- the rotor is rotatably driven by the generated magnetic field.
- the impeller is fixed to the rotor, and sucks in or discharges a liquid.
- the separator isolates the stator and the rotor from each other.
- coil terminals to which coils are connected are connected to the control board.
- the control board controls the generation of a magnetic field by the stator.
- the control board is molded using a resin together with the stator and the separator.
- control board, the stator and the separator form a resin molded body by molding using a resin.
- a temperature of water to be used is approximately 90°C, heat generated from electronic parts mounted on the control board is efficiently dissipated through the resin of the resin molded body.
- the resin molded body is formed as follows using a thermosetting resin such as unsaturated polyester.
- a thermosetting resin such as unsaturated polyester.
- the control board, the stator and the separator are mounted in the inside of a mold die.
- a resin is injected into the mold die through a gate formed in the mold die.
- the resin molded body is formed in this manner.
- coil terminals to which coils are connected are exposed from a surface of the resin of the resin molded body. Further, the coil terminals and the control board are connected to each other outside the resin molded body. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress the influence of heat transmitted from the resin molded body exerted on the control board.
- control board is disposed outside the resin molded body, and the coil terminals are exposed from the surface of the resin of the resin molded body. Further, in a state where an inner surface of the molding die is brought into contact with surfaces of the coil terminals in a radial direction, the resin molded body is formed. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the resin from routing around the surfaces of the coil terminals in a radial direction.
- a method is considered where a resin molded body is formed using a spacer in which a coil terminal is press-fitted, for example, for preventing covering of a coil terminal with a resin. More specifically, a molding die is brought into contact with a surface of the spacer positioned on an outer periphery of the coil terminal (a surface extending in a direction which intersects with a projecting direction of the coil terminal) thus suppressing the formation of a gap. With such a configuration, routing of a resin around the coil terminal is suppressed.
- a thickness of a stacked stator, stacking tolerances of other parts or the like influences the formation of the resin molded body as described below. That is, when the stacking tolerances take positive values, the spacer which is brought into contact with the molding die pushes the stator and the like. Accordingly, there is a possibility that the molding die or the stator is broken. On the other hand, when the stacking tolerances take negative values, a gap is formed between the molding die and the spacer. Accordingly, there is a possibility that burrs occur around the coil terminal or a connection failure occurs due to covering of the coil terminal with a mold resin.
- a canned motor pump includes: a magnetically driven part which is rotatably and pivotally supported by a shaft; an impeller formed on one end side of the magnetically driven part in an axial direction; and a pump body where a pump chamber housing the impeller is formed.
- the canned motor pump further includes a magnetically drive part which has: a coil disposed on an outer peripheral side of the magnetically driven part and generating a rotary magnetic field for rotating the magnetically driven part; and a stator core around which coils are wound.
- the canned motor pump further includes: a separator which separates the magnetically driven part and the magnetically drive part from each other; coil terminals electrically connected to the coils; a spacer on which the coil terminals are mounted; and a control board electrically connected to the coil terminals.
- the separator includes: a bottomed cylindrical portion which has one end side opened in the axial direction and in which a housing portion for housing the magnetically driven part is formed; and a flange portion disposed so as to extend outward in a radial direction from an opening side of the bottomed cylindrical portion.
- the magnetically drive part is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the bottomed cylindrical portion and on the other end side in the axial direction with respect to the flange portion.
- the separator, the magnetically drive part and the spacer are embraced in a resin molded body by molding using a resin.
- the spacer is configured such that the coil terminals which extend in an axial direction are mounted on the spacer, portions of the coil terminals are disposed outside the resin molded body in an exposed manner, and portions of the exposed coil terminals are electrically connected to the control board.
- the spacer includes: a plate portion disposed on the other end side of the bottomed cylindrical portion in an axial direction; and a leg portion extending toward one end side in an axial direction from the plate portion and being brought into contact with the flange portion.
- the spacer is disposed in an inside of the resin molded body in a state where the leg portion is deflected.
- the method includes at least a resin molded body forming step of forming the resin molded body by molding the separator, the magnetically drive part and the spacer using a resin.
- the resin molded body forming step includes a magnetically drive part disposing step of disposing the magnetically drive part on the other end side in the axial direction with respect to the flange portion disposed on an opening side of the bottomed cylindrical portion opening on one end side of the separator in the axial direction and extending toward the outside in a radial direction.
- the method further includes a spacer disposing step of disposing a plate portion extending in an axial direction of the spacer and mounting the coil terminal thereon on the other end side of the bottomed cylindrical portion in the axial direction, and bringing the leg portion extending toward one end side in the axial direction from the plate portion into contact with the flange portion.
- the method further includes: a spacer clamping step for forming a cavity by clamping the molding die, the separator and the spacer; and an injection step of injecting a resin into the cavity in a state where the spacer is clamped.
- a resin molded body can be formed without being influenced by size tolerances of the stator and the like. Accordingly, the formation of a gap between the plate portion of the spacer and the molding die can be suppressed. Accordingly, breaking of the stator or the occurrence of burrs around the coil terminal can be suppressed. Further, covering of the coil terminal with a resin can be suppressed. As a result, the occurrence of a connection failure between the coil terminal and the control board can be prevented.

US 2013/213325 A1 discloses an automotive water pump in which regions of a rotor chamber and a driver chamber are formed and a stator and a connector are implemented into an integral pump body by an insert molding method, to thus enhance a waterproof performance of the water pump and enhance an assembly through simplification of an assembly structure. The automotive water pump includes: a pump body in which a stator and a connector are molded in an integral structure, and a partial structure of an upper-end rotor chamber and a lower-end driver chamber is independently formed; a rotating assembly that is accommodated and combined in the rotor chamber, and that pressurizes and discharges a coolant that flows in from the outside by rotation of an impeller that is combined on top of a rotating axis according to rotation of the rotating axis to which a rotor facing the stator is fixed; and a driver cover that covers the driver chamber combined with a driver including the connector. -
EP 2 407 670 A2 discloses an electric pump, which includes a rotor rotationally supported by a housing at a rotation shaft, a stator positioned at an outer side in radial direction of the rotor and fixed to the housing, a pump portion for taking in and discharging fluid in response to a rotation of the rotor, and a can positioned in between the rotor and the stator for preventing the fluid in the pump portion from flowing into the stator. The can possesses conductivity. The stator is grounded via the can. - _Conventionally, a canned motor pump which includes a stator, a control board, a rotor, an impeller, a separator and the like is disclosed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No.
2009-284704 PTL 1"). A coil is wound around the stator, and a magnetic field is generated by the stator. The control board controls the generation of a magnetic field by the stator. The rotor is rotatably driven by the generated magnetic field. The impeller is fixed to the rotor, and sucks in or discharges a liquid. The separator isolates the stator and the rotor from each other. - In the canned motor pump disclosed in
PTL 1, coil terminals to which coils are connected are connected to the control board. With such a configuration, the control board controls the generation of a magnetic field by the stator. - The control board is molded using a resin together with the stator and the separator. With such a configuration, the prevention of the intrusion of water which may be caused by water leakage, the prevention of corrosion which may be caused by highly humid installation environment, the reduction of noises and vibrations, the heat dissipation from electronic parts can be performed efficiently.
- That is, the control board, the stator and the separator form a resin molded body by molding using a resin. With such a configuration, even when a temperature of water to be used is approximately 90°C, heat generated from electronic parts mounted on the control board is efficiently dissipated through the resin of the resin molded body.
- In general, the resin molded body is formed as follows using a thermosetting resin such as unsaturated polyester. First, the control board, the stator and the separator are mounted in the inside of a mold die. In a state where these parts are mounted in the inside of the mold die, a resin is injected into the mold die through a gate formed in the mold die. The resin molded body is formed in this manner.
- Recently, along with the progress of diversification of usage environment of a canned motor pump, the number of cases is increased where hot water higher than a temperature of conventional hot water is used. In such cases, heat from hot water having a temperature is transmitted to respective electronic parts and soldered portions mounted on a control board embedded in a resin molded body through a resin of the resin molded body. Accordingly, there is a possibility that the respective electronic parts and the soldered portions become a high temperature due to the transferred heat and cause defects.
- In view of such circumstances, conventionally, coil terminals to which coils are connected are exposed from a surface of the resin of the resin molded body. Further, the coil terminals and the control board are connected to each other outside the resin molded body. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress the influence of heat transmitted from the resin molded body exerted on the control board.
- More specifically, the control board is disposed outside the resin molded body, and the coil terminals are exposed from the surface of the resin of the resin molded body. Further, in a state where an inner surface of the molding die is brought into contact with surfaces of the coil terminals in a radial direction, the resin molded body is formed. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the resin from routing around the surfaces of the coil terminals in a radial direction.
- However, in the method for forming the resin molded body by bringing the inner surface of the molding die into contact with the surfaces of the coil terminals in a radial direction, there may be the case where irregularities occur in the positions where the coil terminals are disposed due to the influence of size tolerance or the like. When the irregularities occur in such positions, there is a possibility that the coil terminals are collapsed by the molding die at the time of forming the resin molded body.
- Further, there may be a case where a gap is formed between the surface of the coil terminal in a radial direction and the inner surface of the molding die. In this case, the coil terminal is covered with a resin leaked around the coil terminal. Accordingly, there is a possibility that the coil terminal and the control board cannot be electrically connected to each other.
- In view of the above, a method is considered where a resin molded body is formed using a spacer in which a coil terminal is press-fitted, for example, for preventing covering of a coil terminal with a resin. More specifically, a molding die is brought into contact with a surface of the spacer positioned on an outer periphery of the coil terminal (a surface extending in a direction which intersects with a projecting direction of the coil terminal) thus suppressing the formation of a gap. With such a configuration, routing of a resin around the coil terminal is suppressed.
- However, when the above-mentioned spacer is used, a thickness of a stacked stator, stacking tolerances of other parts or the like influences the formation of the resin molded body as described below. That is, when the stacking tolerances take positive values, the spacer which is brought into contact with the molding die pushes the stator and the like. Accordingly, there is a possibility that the molding die or the stator is broken. On the other hand, when the stacking tolerances take negative values, a gap is formed between the molding die and the spacer. Accordingly, there is a possibility that burrs occur around the coil terminal or a connection failure occurs due to covering of the coil terminal with a mold resin.
- That is, in the above-mentioned related art, at the time of imparting general-purpose property to the usage environment of the canned motor pump, there is a possibility that the reliability of products is lowered.
- It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a canned motor pump and a method for manufacturing a canned motor pump which can suppress lowering of reliability of a product while imparting general-purpose property to a usage environment of the canned motor pump.
- That is, a canned motor pump according to the present disclosure includes: a magnetically driven part which is rotatably and pivotally supported by a shaft; an impeller formed on one end side of the magnetically driven part in an axial direction; and a pump body where a pump chamber housing the impeller is formed. The canned motor pump further includes a magnetically drive part which has: a coil disposed on an outer peripheral side of the magnetically driven part and generating a rotary magnetic field for rotating the magnetically driven part; and a stator core around which coils are wound. The canned motor pump further includes: a separator which separates the magnetically driven part and the magnetically drive part from each other; coil terminals electrically connected to the coils; a spacer on which the coil terminals are mounted; and a control board electrically connected to the coil terminals.
- The separator includes: a bottomed cylindrical portion which has one end side opened in the axial direction and in which a housing portion for housing the magnetically driven part is formed; and a flange portion disposed so as to extend outward in a radial direction from an opening side of the bottomed cylindrical portion. The magnetically drive part is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the bottomed cylindrical portion and on the other end side in the axial direction with respect to the flange portion.
- The separator, the magnetically drive part and the spacer are embraced in a resin molded body by molding using a resin.
- The spacer is configured such that the coil terminals which extend in an axial direction are mounted on the spacer, portions of the coil terminals are disposed outside the resin molded body in an exposed manner, and portions of the exposed coil terminals are electrically connected to the control board.
- The spacer includes: a plate portion disposed on the other end side of the bottomed cylindrical portion in an axial direction; and a leg portion extending toward one end side in an axial direction from the plate portion and being brought into contact with the flange portion.
- The spacer is disposed in an inside of the resin molded body in a state where the leg portion is deflected.
- In a method for manufacturing a canned motor pump according to the present disclosure, in the canned motor pump having the above-mentioned configuration, the method includes at least a resin molded body forming step of forming the resin molded body by molding the separator, the magnetically drive part and the spacer using a resin.
- The resin molded body forming step includes a magnetically drive part disposing step of disposing the magnetically drive part on the other end side in the axial direction with respect to the flange portion disposed on an opening side of the bottomed cylindrical portion opening on one end side of the separator in the axial direction and extending toward the outside in a radial direction.
- The method further includes a spacer disposing step of disposing a plate portion extending in an axial direction of the spacer and mounting the coil terminal thereon on the other end side of the bottomed cylindrical portion in the axial direction, and bringing the leg portion extending toward one end side in the axial direction from the plate portion into contact with the flange portion.
- The method further includes: a spacer clamping step for forming a cavity by clamping the molding die, the separator and the spacer; and an injection step of injecting a resin into the cavity in a state where the spacer is clamped.
- With such a configuration, a resin molded body can be formed without being influenced by size tolerances of the stator and the like. Accordingly, the formation of a gap between the plate portion of the spacer and the molding die can be suppressed. Accordingly, breaking of the stator or the occurrence of burrs around the coil terminal can be suppressed. Further, covering of the coil terminal with a resin can be suppressed. As a result, the occurrence of a connection failure between the coil terminal and the control board can be prevented.

separator 41 is described with reference toFIG. 2 to FIG. 4 . -
Separator 41 is made of a synthetic resin such as a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin, for example. Separator may be formed using metal, for example, provided that separator does not influence magnetic driving. - As shown in
FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 ,separator 41 is formed into a container shape which opens frontward. More specifically,separator 41 is formed of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k having a bottomed cylindrical shape,flange portion 41d and the like. Bottomedcylindrical portion 41k has its front surface (front side) opened, and has its rear surface (rear side) closed bybottom portion 41b.Flange portion 41d is disposed in a projecting manner in a radially outward direction from a front edge portion ofperipheral wall portion 41c of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k.

cylindrical portion 41k ofseparator 41 includes rearshaft fixing portion 41e which forms a shaft support portion projecting frontward at a center ofbottom portion 41b (a depth-side center in the inside ofhousing portion 41a). Rearshaft fixing portion 41e fixes a rear end portion ofshaft 60 which is made of ceramics, for example, and supports rotatingbody 20 in a rotatable manner.Shaft 60 is held byseparator 41 in a non-rotatable manner. More specifically, a profile shape of the rear end portion ofshaft 60 is formed into a D shape, for example. Similarly, an inner peripheral surface of rearshaft fixing portion 41e is formed into a D shape which corresponds to the D shape of the rear end portion ofshaft 60. The D-shaped rear end portion ofshaft 60 is fitted into rearshaft fixing portion 41e. With such a configuration,shaft 60 is held byseparator 41 in a non-rotatable manner. - Magnetically drive
part 42 ofdrive block 40 is formed of a stator havingstator core 42a,coil 42b, andinsulation portion 42c.Stator core 42a is formed of an electromagnetic steel sheet, for example.Coil 42b is disposed in a state wherecoil 42b is wound aroundstator core 42a.Insulation portion 42c electrically insulatesstator core 42a andcoil 42b from each other. Magnetically drivepart 42 is disposed such that magnetically drivepart 42 surroundsperipheral wall portion 41c of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k of separator 41 (for example, seeFIG. 12 andFIG. 13 ). - As shown in

The yoke portion is disposed concentrically to rotational axis center direction CA (seeFIG. 2 ) of magnetically drivenpart 80 described later.Tooth portions 42d are disposed in a projecting manner towardperipheral surface 41f ofseparator 41 from a side surface of the yoke portion which opposedly facesperipheral surface 41f ofperipheral wall portion 41c ofseparator 41. Magnetically drivepart 42 of this exemplary embodiment is formed of a three-phase motor where sixtooth portions 42d are formed substantially equidistantly (including equidistantly) in the circumferential direction, for example (seeFIG. 12 ). - Further,

FIG. 2 ,peripheral wall portion 41c of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k ofseparator 41 is formed into a tapered shape where a diameter ofperipheral wall portion 41c is gradually decreased toward abottom portion 41b side from an opening (flange portion 41d) side. Here, on aflange portion 41d side of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k,straight portions 41h which extend along rotational axis center direction CA (fore-and-aft direction) are formed at positions opposedly facing magnetic pole surfaces 42f ofstator core 42a (seeFIG. 5 and FIG. 6 ).Straight portions 41h allow magnetic pole surfaces 42f ofstator core 42a to opposedly faceperipheral surface 41f ofseparator 41 with predetermined (fixed) clearance d4 therebetween even when the position ofmagnetically drive part 42 in rotational axis center direction CA (fore-and-aft direction) is displaced. - Control part 43 of canned
motor pump 1 is formed of a control board for controlling magnetically drivepart 42. Control part 43 is disposed behindseparator 41 and magnetically drivepart 42, and various electronic parts are mounted on control part 43. Control part 43 is electrically connected tocoils 42b ofmagnetically drive part 42 throughcoil terminals 45. Control part 43 supplies electricity tocoils 42b ofmagnetically drive part 42 thus allowing magnetically drivepart 42 to generate a magnetic field for rotating magnetically drivenpart 80 of rotatingbody 20 described later. - A Hall IC element (not shown in the drawing) which detects a rotational position of magnetically driven
part 80 is disposed in a vicinity ofseparator 41 on an upper side (front side) of control part 43. Control part 43 controls a magnetic force generated by magnetically drivepart 42 based on a rotational position of magnetically drivenpart 80 detected by the Hall IC element. - As shown in

Projectingportion 137 has a front side and a radially inner side thereof opened, and communicates with suction flow passage 35a.Pump chamber 131 described previously is formed involute portion 130. -
Pump chamber 131 is formed ofimpeller housing chamber 131a having a circular shape as viewed in a plan view, andvolute structure 131b having a spiral shape as viewed in a plan view.Impeller 70 is housed inimpeller housing chamber 131a.Volute structure 131b is formed on an outer periphery ofimpeller housing chamber 131a and generates an effect of increasing a pressure of a fluid. - That is, a fluid discharged to an outer peripheral side of
impeller 70 fromdischarge portion 76 is introduced intovolute structure 131b. The pressure of the introduced fluid is increased involute structure 131b. Further,volute structure 131b is disposed so as to be communicated with an upstream side of discharge flow passage 36a in a state wherevolute portion 130 is assembled tocasing 30. With such a configuration, the fluid is discharged tovolute structure 131b fromdischarge portion 76 ofimpeller 70. The pressure of the discharged fluid is increased involute structure 131b. The pressure-increased fluid is discharged to the outside ofcanned motor pump 1 throughdischarge port 36b of discharge flow passage 36a. -
Volute portion 130 includes frontshaft fixing portion 133 which is positioned at a center portion of rotatingbody housing chamber 51 and forms the shaft support portion. A front end portion ofshaft 60 is fixed to frontshaft fixing portion 133. - As described previously,
shaft 60 is held byseparator 41 in a non-rotatable manner.Casing 30 andseparator 41 are fixed to each other, andvolute portion 130 is fixed tocasing 30. Accordingly, even when the front end portion ofshaft 60 is not held by frontshaft fixing portion 133 ofvolute portion 130 in a non-rotatable manner, the rotation ofshaft 60 relative tovolute portion 130 can be restricted. - In this exemplary embodiment, front
shaft fixing portion 133 ofvolute portion 130 is integrally formed withvolute portion 130 by way of a plurality of support ribs 134 (in this exemplary embodiment, three support ribs 134).Support ribs 134 extend towardpump chamber 131 from an inner surface side of projectingportion 137. It is not particularly necessary to form frontshaft fixing portion 133 integrally withvolute portion 130. - Front
shaft fixing portion 133 is formed of: corn-shaped projectingportion 133a which projects toward a front portion (forward); andcylindrical bearing portion 133b.Bearing portion 133b is connected to a rear portion of projectingportion 133a, and supports a front end portion ofshaft 60. - Front
shaft fixing portion 133 is disposed so as to be brought into contact withshaft 60 andbearing 83 by way of bearingplate 110 andbuffer member 120.Bearing plate 110 receives a load applied to bearing 83 in a thrust direction.Buffer member 120 absorbs vibrations and the like generated byshaft 60. - In general, casing 30 is formed of a PPS (polyphenylenesulfide) resin having high heat resistance, high rigidity and high hardness, for example. On the other hand, as described later,
volute portion 130 does not require a strength compared tocasing 30 and hence,volute portion 130 is formed of a PPE resin, for example. - As described previously, in this exemplary embodiment,
volute portion 130 on which frontshaft fixing portion 133 is formed is formed as a part separate fromcasing 30. With such a configuration,volute portion 130 and frontshaft fixing portion 133 can be configured such thatvolute portion 130 and frontshaft fixing portion 133 are minimally influenced by water pressure. Accordingly,volute portion 130 and frontshaft fixing portion 133 can be formed using a low-cost material having a strength lower than a strength of a material for formingcasing 30. It is needless to say thatvolute portion 130 andcasing 30 can be formed as an integral body. With such a configuration, assembling of these parts can be facilitated. - Next, driving of canned
motor pump 1 is described. - In driving
canned motor pump 1, first, electricity is supplied tocoils 42b by control part 43. When electric current flows throughcoils 42b, a magnetic field is generated inmagnetically drive part 42. Accordingly,magnet portion 82 which rotatingbody 20 includes is attracted to or repelled from magnetically drivepart 42. Accordingly, magnetically drivenpart 80 rotates aboutshaft 60. As a result,impeller 70 rotates aboutshaft 60 extending in the fore-and-aft direction. - Next, when
impeller 70 rotates, a fluid which is introduced intoflow passages 75 ofimpeller 70 throughsuction port 74 is discharged to the outer peripheral side ofimpeller 70 fromdischarge portion 76. Most of the fluid which is discharged to the outer peripheral side ofimpeller 70 is basically introduced intovolute structure 131b. The pressure of the introduced fluid is increased byvolute structure 131b. The pressure-increased fluid is discharged to the outside ofcanned motor pump 1 throughdischarge port 36b. - However, a part of the fluid attempts to pass through gap d3 of the flange portion formed between the outer peripheral edge of
rear surface shroud 72 andflange portion 41d ofseparator 41, to flow into a rear side ofrear surface shroud 72, and to flow intohousing portion 41a. - In such a case, when a foreign substance (a magnetic substance such as iron powder, for example) is mixed in the fluid, the foreign substance is adhered to
magnet portion 82. The adhered foreign substance is rotated together with magnetically drivenpart 80 and damages an inner surface ofseparator 41. Accordingly, there is a possibility that the rotation of rotatingbody 20 is obstructed or locked. - In view of the above, in
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment,separator cover 160 made of SUS (stainless steel), for example, is disposed on the inner surface ofseparator 41.Separator cover 160 preventsseparator 41 from being damaged by the intruded foreign substance. - Further,
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment has the following configuration for suppressing the intrusion of a foreign substance mixed in a fluid intohousing portion 41a. - More specifically, an outer diameter of
magnet fixing portion 81b disposed on the front end portion (end portion on animpeller 70 side) of the magnetically drivenpart 80 which forms a rotor is set larger than an outer diameter ofmagnet portion 82. With such a configuration, gap d2 formed between an outer peripheral edge ofmagnet fixing portion 81b andperipheral wall portion 41c ofseparator 41 is set smaller than gap d1 formed betweenmagnet portion 82 andperipheral wall portion 41c. - That is, an outer peripheral portion of
magnet fixing portion 81b where an outer diameter ofrotor portion 81 is larger than an outer diameter ofmagnet portion 82 is disposed in the outer periphery of a front end portion of magnetically drivenpart 80. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of a foreign substance contained in a fluid in the inside ofpump chamber 131 into a gap formed between magnetically drivenpart 80 andseparator 41. It is preferable that gap d2 be set to, for example, 0.5mm or less by taking into account tolerances of parts, a wear amount of the bearing at the end of life or the like. - Further, in
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment, annular partition plate 140 made of a PPE (polyphenylene ether) resin, for example, is disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the opening portion ofseparator 41 andflange portion 41d. As shown inFIG. 2 , end surface 140a of partition plate 140 on acasing 30 side forms a portion ofvolute structure 131b. The outer periphery of end surface 140a of partition plate 140 on acasing 30 side is pushed byrear end surface 130a ofvolute portion 130. The outer periphery of end surface 140a on acasing 30 side is interposed betweenrear end surface 130a andseparator 41. With such a configuration, partition plate 140 is fixed. - Further, in
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment, ribs 140c are formed on a rear side of partition plate 140 in a projecting manner along an inner peripheral surface of the opening portion ofseparator 41. Ribs 140cpress flange portion 160a ofseparator cover 160. With such a configuration,separator cover 160 is fixed in a state where separator cover 160 is sandwiched betweenseparator 41 and partition plate 140. -
Canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment usesimpeller 70 where a gap formed between the outer peripheral portion ofimpeller 70 and the inner peripheral portion offlange portion 41d is large. Accordingly, partition plate 140 is disposed on the outer periphery ofimpeller 70. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the gap formed between the outer peripheral portion ofimpeller 70 and the inner peripheral portion offlange portion 41d small. - When
impeller 70 having a large outer diameter where a gap formed between the outer peripheral portion ofimpeller 70 and the inner peripheral portion offlange portion 41d is small is used for enhancing pump efficiency, it is not particularly necessary to provide partition plate 140. - As described hereinafter,
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment can use high-temperature water of 90°C or above so that cannedmotor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment has general-purpose property with respect to the usage environment of cannedmotor pump 1. - In view of the above, control part 43 is disposed outside resin molded
body 200. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress the transfer of heat generated by high-temperature water to electronic parts and soldered portions mounted on the control board of control part 43 through resin moldedbody 200. As a result, it is possible to suppress the electronic parts and the soldered portions from becoming high temperature. - More specifically,
coil terminals 45 around which coils 42b ofmagnetically drive part 42 are wound are exposed from the surface ofresin material 44 of resin moldedbody 200. Further,coil terminals 45 and the control board of control part 43 are connected to each other outside resin moldedbody 200. That is, portions ofcoil terminals 45 are exposed to the outside of resin moldedbody 200, and these exposed portions ofcoil terminals 45 from resin moldedbody 200 and control part 43 are electrically connected to each other. - As shown in
FIG. 2 ,lid portion 170 is disposed on a rear portion of resin moldedbody 200.Lid portion 170 covers control part 43 connected tocoil terminals 45 outside resin moldedbody 200.Lid portion 170 also forms a portion ofpump body 10 which forms the shell. With such a configuration, control part 43 is housed in the inside of space portion S1 formed outside resin moldedbody 200 of cannedmotor pump 1. - Further, in
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment, resin moldedbody 200 is formed in a state wherecoil terminals 45 are exposed from the surface ofresin material 44. Accordingly,spacer 180 into whichcoil terminals 45 are press-fitted is used. With such a configuration, at the time of molding, pressingsurface 181c (seeFIG. 18 ) ofspacer 180 positioned on the outer periphery ofcoil terminals 45 is brought into contact with molding die 300. As a result, routing ofresin material 44 aroundcoil terminals 45 can be further surely suppressed. -
Canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration. - Next, the configuration of above-mentioned
spacer 180 is described in detail with reference toFIG. 7 to FIG. 11 . - Hereinafter, the description is made while defining the fore-and-aft direction as shown in
FIG. 7 to FIG. 11 with reference to an arrangement state ofspacer 180 shown inFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 7 to FIG. 11 ,spacer 180 includesplate portion 181 having a substantially annular shape (including an annular shape) on whichcoil terminals 45 are mounted.Plate portion 181 is disposed in an extending manner in a direction orthogonal to (intersecting with) rotational axis center direction CA (fore-and-aft direction). - Pressing
surfaces 181c are formed onrear surface 181b (the other surface in an axial direction) ofplate portion 181. As described above, pressingsurfaces 181c form surfaces which are pressed in a state wherepressing surfaces 181c are brought into contact withinner surface 301 of molding die 300. Accordingly, pressingsurfaces 181c are formed in a rearwardly projecting manner fromrear surface 181b (seeFIG. 7 ). -
Plate portion 181 includesribs 184 which project rearward from pressingsurface 181c, andinsertion hole 18 is formed in eachrib 184.Coil terminal 45 is press-fitted intoinsertion hole 184a ofrib 184 in a state where a portion ofcoil terminal 45 is exposed to a rear side. -
Plate portion 181 includes temperaturedetector mounting portion 185. For example, a fuse or the like which detects a temperature ofcoil 42b is mounted on temperaturedetector mounting portion 185. Accordingly, after resin moldedbody 200 is formed by molding, fuseinsertion groove 202 is formed on resin moldedbody 200 at a position facing temperature detector mounting portion 185 (seeFIG. 19 andFIG. 20 ). -
Spacer 180 includesleg portions 182 which extend frontward fromplate portion 181 respectively.Leg portions 182 are disposed such thatleg portions 182 are brought into contact withrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d. - That is, a plurality of
leg portions 182 are disposed on afront surface 181a side ofplate portion 181 along the circumferential direction, and are formed of outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a and inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b. Outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are formed on an outer peripheral side ofplate portion 181 having a substantially annular shape (including an annular shape). Inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b are formed on an inner peripheral side ofplate portion 181. For example, eight outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are disposed on the outer peripheral side ofplate portion 181 along the circumferential direction. For example, four inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b are disposed on the inner peripheral side ofplate portion 181 along the circumferential direction. - As shown in
FIG. 10 ,leg portions 182 are disposed such that one inner-peripheral-side leg portion 182b is disposed between two outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a which are disposed adjacently to each other in the circumferential direction, viewed from a front side. With such a configuration, one set of support portion 186 (see a portion surrounded by a dotted chain line inFIG. 10 ) is provided where the support is made by three points, that is, two outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a and one inner-peripheral-side leg portion 182b disposed between two outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a. In this exemplary embodiment, the case is exemplified where four sets ofsupport portions 186 are provided. -
Support portions 186 are formed such that two pairs ofsupport portions 186 are respectively disposed on both sides of rotational axis center direction CA. That is,support portions 186 are disposed so as to opposedly face each other at positions in point symmetry with respect to rotational axis center direction CA. Four sets ofsupport portions 186 are disposed substantially in line symmetry (including line symmetry) with respect to a straight line L which passes rotational axis center direction CA and temperaturedetector mounting portion 185. - More specifically, four sets of
support portions 186 are disposed on a straight line which is obtained by rotating straight line L by approximately 60 degrees (including 60 degrees) about rotational axis center direction CA and a straight line which is obtained by rotating straight line L by approximately 120 degrees (including 120 degrees) about rotational axis center direction CA respectively. With such an arrangement,respective support portions 186 are disposed such that the distance (circumferential distance) between each twosupport portions 186 disposed adjacently to each other in the circumferential direction differs among therespective support portions 186. That is,respective support portions 186 are disposed such that the distance betweensupport portions 186 disposed on the same side with respect to straight line L becomes shorter than the distance betweensupport portions 186 disposed on sides opposite to each other with respect to straight line L. - Above-mentioned
pressing surface 181c is formed onplate portion 181 ofspacer 180 on a side opposite to a side whererespective support portions 186 are formed. - As shown in
FIG. 2 ,canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment includes annular magnetically drivepart 42. Magnetically drivepart 42 is disposed between outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a and inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b which respectively formleg portions 182. - More specifically, magnetically drive
part 42 is disposed between the plurality of outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a disposed on the outer peripheral side ofplate portion 181 ofspacer 180 and the plurality of inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b disposed on the inner peripheral side ofplate portion 181. - Portions of the plurality of outer-peripheral-
side leg portions 182a at a distal end side of outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a disposed onplate portion 181 are connected to each other by connectingring 183 which forms a connecting portion. In this exemplary embodiment, all eight outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are connected to each other by connectingring 183. -
Plate portion 181 ofspacer 180 having the above-mentioned configuration is disposed at the position behind magnetically drivepart 42 in a state where distal ends ofleg portions 182 are directed frontward (seeFIG. 2 andFIG. 15 ). In such a configuration, leg portions 182 (outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a and inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b) are respectively housed inhousing portions 41m formed onrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d ofseparator 41. With such a configuration,spacer 180 is positioned with respect toseparator 41. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , eachhousing portion 41m ofseparator 41 is formed such that side surfaces of projectingportions 41j which project rearward fromrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d face side surfaces of the distal end ofleg portion 182 in an opposed manner. - As described above, in
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment, a three-phase motor where sixtooth portions 42d are formed substantially equidistantly (including equidistantly) in the circumferential direction is used as magnetically drivepart 42.Coil terminals 45 of three coils of the three-phase motor are electrically connected to the control board of control part 43 respectively. Accordingly, threecoil terminals 45 are formed equidistantly in the circumferential direction corresponding torespective tooth portions 42d. - In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , threecoil terminals 45 are disposed in a rearwardly projecting manner on the same side defined by straight line L. - More specifically,
coil terminal 45 is formed offirst coil terminal 45a andsecond coil terminal 45b.Coil 42b is connected tofirst coil terminal 45a.Second coil terminal 45b is mounted onplate portion 181, and is electrically connected to the control board of control part 43 (seeFIG. 15 andFIG. 16 ). -
First coil terminals 45a andsecond coil terminals 45b are electrically connected to each other viarelay board 46. When such a configuration is viewed in the fore-and-aft direction, the position offirst coil terminal 45a and the position ofsecond coil terminal 45b in the fore-and-aft direction as well as in the circumferential direction are displaced from each other. With such a configuration, for example,second coil terminal 45b which formscoil terminal 45 can be disposed in a projecting manner from the desired position. - Accordingly, three
second coil terminals 45b are provided in a rearwardly projecting manner on the same side with respect to straight line L. With such a configuration, threesecond coil terminals 45b are disposed such that connecting positions where threesecond coil terminals 45b and the control board of control part 43 are connected to each other are not scattered. - Resin molded
body 200 is formed as follows using above-mentionedspacer 180. - First, magnetically drive
part 42 is disposed betweenspacer 180 andseparator 41. At the same time, portions of threecoil terminals 45 electrically connected to coils 42b respectively are disposed in a rearwardly projecting manner fromplate portion 181 ofspacer 180. In such a state of arrangement, these parts are molded byresin material 44 such that the portions ofcoil terminals 45 are exposed. Resin moldedbody 200 is formed in this manner. - In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 18 ,spacer 180 is formed such thatleg portions 182 ofspacer 180 are molded byresin material 44 in a deflected state. - More specifically, first,
spacer 180 is clamped by molding die 300 andseparator 41 thus forming cavity S2. At this stage of the processing,leg portions 182 ofspacer 180 are deflected by a clamping force of molding die 300. - Next, in a state where
leg portions 182 are deflected,resin material 44 is filled into cavity S2. At this stage of the processing, it is preferable to set molding die 300 such thatspacer 180 is deflected by a clamping force even when a length ofleg portions 182 ofspacer 180 becomes short due to a size tolerance. Further, it is preferable to set a length ofleg portions 182 such thatleg portions 182 are not broken even when a length ofleg portions 182 ofspacer 180 becomes large due to a size tolerance. - In this exemplary embodiment, outer-peripheral-
side leg portions 182a are disposed at substantially symmetrical (including symmetrical) positions (line symmetrical and point symmetrical positions) along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral side ofplate portion 181. Accordingly, outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are deflected in a projecting manner in a radially outward direction. InFIG. 18 , to facilitate the understanding of the description, outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are illustrated in a largely deflected manner such that outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a project in a radially outward direction. However, in an actual configuration, outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are slightly deflected, and in this exemplary embodiment, outer-peripheral-side leg portions 182a are deflected by approximately 1mm, for example. -
Spacer 180 is made of a resin having excellent resiliency such as PA66 (polyamide 66: 66 nylon), for example. -
Spacer 180 is configured as described above, and is formed in the inside of resin moldedbody 200 in a deflected state. - Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing
canned motor pump 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment is described. - Manufacturing methods other than a method for forming resin molded
body 200, a method for disposing control part 43 and a method for mountinglid portion 170 can be performed using known manufacturing methods and hence, the description of such manufacturing methods is omitted. - Hereinafter, the method for forming resin molded
body 200, the method for disposing control part 43, and the method for mountinglid portion 170 are mainly described. - First, canned
motor pump 1 is formed in a resin molded body forming step. The resin molded body forming step is a step of forming resin moldedbody 200 by moldingseparator 41, magnetically drivepart 42 andspacer 180 byresin material 44. - Resin molded
body 200 is formed through a magnetically drive part disposing step, a spacer disposing step, a spacer clamping step, an injection step and the like which form the resin molded body forming step. These steps are described hereinafter. - First, in the magnetically drive part disposing step, as shown in
FIG. 12 andFIG. 13 , magnetically drivepart 42 is disposed on arear surface 41n side offlange portion 41d extending in a radially outward direction on an opening side of bottomedcylindrical portion 41k ofseparator 41 which opens frontward. - Then, magnetically drive
part 42 is inserted from behindseparator 41 alongperipheral wall portion 41c. Then, the front end ofmagnetically drive part 42 is housed inannular groove 41i ofseparator 41. With such a configuration, magnetically drivepart 42 is mounted onseparator 41. - Then,
first coil terminals 45a to which coils 42b are connected respectively are connected to relayboard 46. - Next, in the spacer disposing step,
plate portion 181 which extends in a direction orthogonal to (intersecting with) fore-and-aft direction ofspacer 180 and on whichcoil terminals 45 are mounted is disposed behind magnetically drivepart 42. At the same time,leg portions 182 extending frontward fromplate portion 181 are brought into contact withrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d.Spacer 180 is disposed in this manner. - That is, the plurality of leg portions 182 (outer-peripheral-
side leg portions 182a and inner-peripheral-side leg portions 182b) are respectively housed inhousing portions 41m formed onrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d. With such a configuration,leg portions 182 are brought into contact withrear surface 41n offlange portion 41d. - Then, portions of
second coil terminals 45b are connected to relayboard 46 in a state where the portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b are exposed to the rear side and are press-fitted intoinsertion holes 184a ofribs 184 ofspacer 180. With such a configuration,first coil terminals 45a andsecond coil terminals 45b are electrically connected to each other via relay board 46 (seeFIG. 14 to FIG. 16 ). - Next, in the spacer clamping step,
spacer 180 is clamped by molding die 300 andseparator 41. Then, cavity S2 into whichresin material 44 is to be filled is formed. - As shown in
FIG. 18 , molding die 300 includesupper die 300a andlower die 300b.Upper die 300a is a die wherehousing portions 302 in whichribs 184 ofspacer 180 and exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b are housed are formed. The exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b are portions which are exposed without being covered byresin material 44 at the time of forming resin moldedbody 200.Lower die 300b is a die for supportingseparator 41. - In a state where
spacer 180,separator 41 and the like are housed in molding die 300,upper die 300a andlower die 300b of molding die 300 are clamped to each other. With such an operation,spacer 180 disposed between molding die 300 andseparator 41 is clamped thus forming cavity S2. - At this stage of the processing, as shown in
FIG. 18 , while bringinginner surface 301 ofupper die 300a of molding die 300 into face contact withrear surface 181b ofplate portion 181,spacer 180 is pressed to aseparator 41 side. With such an operation, molding die 300 clamps spacer 180 in a state whereleg portions 182 ofspacer 180 are deformed by deflection. - That is,
spacer 180 is clamped in a state wherepressing surfaces 181c ofplate portion 181 are brought into surface contact withinner surface 301 of molding die 300. - At this stage of the processing, portions of
second coil terminals 45b are press-fitted intoinsertion holes 184a ofribs 184 in a rearwardly exposed manner. Above-mentioned exposed portions ofribs 184 and exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b are housed inhousing portions 302 ofupper die 300a of molding die 300. - Then,
inner surface 301 of molding die 300 is disposed so as to be brought into surface contact withpressing surfaces 181c formed on the periphery ofrib 184 ofspacer 180 over the whole periphery ofrib 184. Accordingly,housing portions 302 of molding die 300 which respectively house the exposed portions ofribs 184 and exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b therein are disposed so as not to communicate with cavity S2. - Next, in the injection step,
resin material 44 is injected into cavity S2 in a state wherespacer 180 is clamped betweenupper die 300a of molding die 300 andseparator 41 oflower die 300b. - At this stage of the processing,
housing portions 302 of molding die 300 in which the exposed portions ofribs 184 and the exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b are housed are disposed so as not to communicate with cavity S2. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the exposed portions ofsecond coil terminals 45b from being covered byresin material 44. - In accordance with the above-mentioned respective steps which form the resin molded body forming step, resin molded
body 200 shown inFIG. 19 andFIG. 20 is formed. - Then,
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment is formed using resin moldedbody 200 which is formed in the above-described resin molded body forming step as follows. - First, magnetically driven
part 80 andvolute portion 130 are disposed on a front side of resin moldedbody 200, andcasing 30 is mounted on resin moldedbody 200. - Next, the control board which forms control part 43 is disposed on a rear side of resin molded
body 200, andlid portion 170 is mounted on resin moldedbody 200. At this stage of the processing, the control board is disposed in a state where the control board is placed onprojection 201 which is formed on the center of a rear portion of resin moldedbody 200 shown inFIG. 2 . -
Canned motor pump 1 shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 is formed in accordance with the above-mentioned steps. - As has been described heretofore,
canned motor pump 1 of this exemplary embodiment includes: magnetically drivenpart 80 which is rotatably and pivotally supported byshaft 60; andimpeller 70 formed on the front side in the fore-and-aft direction (one end side in the axial direction) of magnetically drivenpart 80. Further,canned motor pump 1 includespump body 10 wherepump chamber 131housing impeller 70 is formed.Canned motor pump 1 further includes magnetically drivepart 42 which has:coils 42b disposed on the outer peripheral side of magnetically drivenpart 80 and generating a rotary magnetic field for rotating magnetically drivenpart 80; andstator core 42a around which coils 42b are wound.Canned motor pump 1 further includes:separator 41 which separates magnetically drivenpart 80 and magnetically drivepart 42 from each other; andcoil terminals 45 electrically connected tocoils 42b.
