Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric motor-driven water pump for a washing machine.
- the electric motor-driven water pump according to the present invention may be used to particular advantage for drainage, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
- Washing machines are normally equipped with electric motor-driven water pumps for drainage.
- An example of an electric motor-driven water drain pump for a washing machine is described in EP1571252A1 .
- An electric motor-driven water drain pump for a washing machine has an impeller connected to an electric motor shaft rotating about a central rotation axis inside a pumping chamber having an intake duct and a drain duct.
- the impeller is connected mechanically to the electric motor shaft by an articulated joint, which allows a certain amount of relative rotation (e.g. 120°) between the shaft and impeller, so that, when the electric motor is started, the electric motor shaft, as opposed to immediately rotating the impeller, initially rotates substantially idly to greatly reduce peak starting current.
- the high hydraulic inertia of the stationary water in the pumping chamber in fact, initially generates a high resisting torque on the impeller, and hence on the electric motor shaft.
- the articulated joint has several drawbacks, by containing a certain amount of grease, which may lose its properties during the working life of the joint, thus resulting in noise or even jamming of the joint. It has been proposed to eliminate the articulated joint. In this case, however, a much more powerful electric motor is required to counteract the high hydraulic inertia of the stationary water in the pumping chamber, thus greatly increasing cost and size.
- an electric motor-driven water pump for a washing machine as claimed in the accompanying Claims.
- Water pump 1 comprises a rotor housing 2 having a coupling flange 3 connectable to a stator casing 4 to form a pumping chamber 5 for an impeller 6.
- the electrical part of the pump which is known, comprises an electric motor 7 (e.g. a synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor, or an asynchronous permanent-magnet, synchronous or asynchronous motor), housed inside rotor housing 2 and having a revolving shaft 8 connected directly and rigidly to impeller 6 to rotate impeller 6 about a central rotation axis 9. It is important to point out that impeller 6 is connected directly and rigidly to shaft 8 of electric motor 7 with no articulated joint in between, and therefore with no degree of freedom between impeller 6 and shaft 8 of electric motor 7.
- an electric motor 7 e.g. a synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor, or an asynchronous permanent-magnet, synchronous or asynchronous motor
- Stator casing 4 which is fixed to the washing machine casing, comprises a substantially dome-shaped body 10 fitted removably and in fluidtight manner to rotor housing 2 to internally define pumping chamber 5 for impeller 6.
- Dome-shaped body 10 has an axial intake duct 11 extending along (i.e. coaxial with) rotation axis 9 of impeller 6; and a radial drain duct 12 extending laterally with respect to dome-shaped body 10 (i.e. perpendicular to rotation axis 9).
- a flexible spacer 13 may be fitted between coupling flange 3 of rotor housing 2 and stator casing 4. Flexible spacer 13 acts as a seal for ensuring sealed coupling of coupling flange 3 and rotor housing 2, and also as a vibration-damper for preventing vibration being transmitted from rotor housing 2 to stator casing 4.
- impeller 6 is housed inside pumping chamber 5, rotates about rotation axis 9, and has a central hub 14 coaxial with rotation axis 9; a round base plate 15 coaxial with rotation axis 9 and surrounding central hub 14; and a number of (e.g. six) pumping blades 16.
- Each pumping blade 16 is connected at the bottom to base plate 15, and laterally to central hub 14, and is preferably flat and coaxial with rotation axis 9.
- Each pumping blade 16 of impeller 6 has a top edge 17 on the opposite side to base plate 15, and which is curved so that an axial dimension of pumping blade 16 substantially increases towards rotation axis 9. More specifically, top edge 17 of each pumping blade 16 has a straight inner portion 18 closer to rotation axis 9; and a curved outer portion 19, so that an axial dimension of pumping blade 16 substantially increases towards rotation axis 9.
- Straight inner portion 18 of top edge 17 of each pumping blade 16 preferably slopes slightly, so that, close to rotation axis 9, an axial dimension of pumping blade 16 decreases towards rotation axis 9.
- the distance between rotation axis 9 and an inner surface 20 of pumping chamber 5 varies. More specifically, the distance between rotation axis 9 and inner surface 20 of pumping chamber 5 is maximum at drain duct 12 and is minimum opposite drain duct 12.
- Inner surface 20 of pumping chamber 5 preferably has a spiral (e.g. a logarithmic spiral) cross section, and is preferably symmetric with respect to a plane coaxial with rotation axis 9 and through drain duct 12.
- a spiral e.g. a logarithmic spiral
- Water pump 1 as described above has numerous advantages, by being easy to implement and highly effective and efficient.
- impeller 6 does not generate a high initial resisting torque when the water in the pumping chamber is stationary. Consequently, even rigidly connecting impeller 6 and shaft 8 of electric motor 7, a particularly powerful electric motor 7 is not required to rotate impeller 6.
- water pump 1 as described above provides for high effective flow, and is therefore not penalized with respect to a conventional known water pump.
