- Another o-ring 88 is positioned within a groove 90 formed within inner housing 28 to sealingly engage an end face 92 of sleeve 30 .
- the overall length of sleeve 30 is defined to assure that a compressive load acts on o-ring 88 when cap 36 and mid-plate 44 are coupled to outer housing 26 via fasteners 48 . This arrangement assures that pumped fluid does not enter stator cavity 32 .
- Stator assembly 14 includes a coil 100 and a plurality of plates 102 closely fitted to an inner cylindrical wall 104 of inner housing 28 . Wires from coil 100 extend through apertures 108 formed in radially extending flanges 110 of sleeve 30 .
- Inner housing 28 includes a substantially cylindrically shaped wall 114 having an inner cylindrical surface 104 and an outer cylindrical surface 116 .

- a plurality of radially inwardly extending ribs 140 define a coolant flow path 142 best shown in FIGS. 2-5 .
- Ribs 140 a radially inwardly protrude from surface 130 and axially extend from an inner surface 144 of partition wall 132 to a mating surface 146 formed at the end of outer housing 26 .
- Another set of inwardly protruding ribs, identified at reference numerals 140 b are shorter than ribs 140 a , extend from surface 144 and terminate at ends 150 spaced apart from mating surface 146 .
- the long ( 140 a ) and short ( 140 b ) ribs are positioned circumferentially spaced apart from one another in an alternating pattern to define a singular continuous and circuitous flow path 142 .
- Ribs 140 a and 140 b also include radially extending and axially protruding portions extending above surface 144 .

- second end 80 of rotor shaft 20 is spaced apart from partition wall 132 of outer housing 26 and inner housing 28 to allow fluid to pass between rotor shaft 20 and outer housing 26 as well as between an inner diameter of bushing 76 and an outer diameter of rotor shaft 20 .
- Fluid then becomes positioned between rotor assembly 16 and sleeve 30 .
- Fluid is also provided a path to exit rotor cavity 82 and travel between an inner diameter of bushing 66 and an outer surface of rotor shaft 20 .
- An aperture 182 is optionally provided to provide a purge path for air that may become trapped within rotor cavity 82 during initial assembly.

- FIG. 6 depicts portions of an alternate pump 200 .
- Pump 200 includes an inner housing 202 including a cylindrical portion 204 integrally formed with a mid-plate portion 206 .

- a sleeve 330 includes a cylindrical portion 332 and an integrally formed flange portion 334 .
- Flange portion 334 closes an open end of cylindrically-shaped portion 322 of inner housing 320 .
- a seal 340 is located at the joint interconnecting inner housing 320 and flange portion 334 . Cylindrical portion 332 of sleeve 330 axially extends to engage partition wall 304 to at least partially define lower reservoir 310 .
- FIGS. 9-12 depict a coolant flow path for pumped fluid to transmit heat from a stator 346 , a rotor 348 and a controller 349 to the pumped fluid. Controller 349 is fixed to an increased thickness portion 351 of partition wall 304 to function as a heat sink. An inlet 350 extends through mid-plate 326 of inner housing 320 .
- Ribs 324 of inner housing 320 cooperate with inner surface 316 of outer housing 302 to define a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart fluid passageways 356 a , 356 b , 356 c , 356 d , 356 e , 356 f , 356 g, 356 h, and 356 i.

- high pressure fluid is provided to inlet 350 through fluid passageway 356 a and on either side of a wall 360 a. Fluid continues to flow through passageways 356 i and 356 b around another set of ribs, down through passageways 356 c and 356 h, back up along passageways 356 d and 356 g, and returning through passageways 356 f and 356 e.
- Internal ports 362 , 364 allow coolant to enter lower reservoir 310 .
- Slots 308 allow coolant to enter bearing cavity 312 . Coolant within cavity 312 may lubricate the interface between a bearing or bushing 370 and solid rotor shaft 342 .
- the fluid flow path continues from lower reservoir 310 around rotor 248 , inside of sleeve 330 until the fluid reaches a cavity 372 .
- Fluid within cavity 372 may also lubricate the interface between a bearing or bushing 374 and solid rotor shaft 342 .
- Coolant flows from cavity 372 through a plurality of passageways 376 extending through mid-plate 326 to provide a portion of the fluid path no longer provided through rotor shaft 342 .
- a plurality of outlets 378 are circumferentially spaced apart from one another and extend through an impeller 380 to further define a portion of the coolant flow path. Outlets 378 terminate at a low pressure zone within impeller 380 such that increased temperature coolant is combined with the fluid being pumped from pump 300 .

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/376,740, filed on Aug. 25, 2010. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a fluid pump. More particularly, an integrated motor, pump and controller assembly includes an internal coolant flow path to transfer heat from motor and the controller to the fluid being pumped.
- This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
- A variety of motor driven fluid pumps have been controlled with switches or electronics positioned remotely from the motor and pump combination. Relatively unwieldy packaging and wire routing concerns may exist regarding the installation and use of these devices.
- Other electric motor and pump combinations have been configured to include a controller positioned within the same or an adjacent housing. Robust operation becomes a concern due to possible overheating of the electronic components within the controller. Known designs are relatively large, costly and complex. Accordingly, a need in the art may exist to define a simplified, low cost, low weight electric motor, pump and controller combination.
- This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
- An electric pump comprises an outer housing including a motor cavity and a controller cavity separated by a partition wall. An inner housing is positioned within the motor cavity of the outer housing. One of the inner and outer housings includes radially extending ribs positioned adjacent to the other of the inner and outer housings to define a coolant flow path between the inner housing and the outer housing. The flow path is partially defined by the partition wall. An electric motor is positioned within the inner housing and includes a hollow rotor shaft driving a pump member. The hollow rotor shaft forms a portion of the coolant path and interconnects a volume between the inner and outer housings with a low pressure cavity containing the pump member. A controller is positioned within the controller cavity in heat transfer relation with the partition wall.

FIG. 5 , pressurized fluid fromimpeller cavity 46 is in fluid communication with an aperture (not shown) extending throughmid-plate 44 that is aligned with aninlet 154 offlow path 142. It should be appreciated that the aperture extending throughmid-plate 44 is relatively small and acts as an orifice to reduce the flow of coolant throughpath 142. A majority of the fluid being pumped is drawn from inlet 38 acrossimpeller 18 and exits atoutlet 40. - Coolant
fluid flow path 142 provides pressurized fluid toinlet 154 and axially acrossinner surface 130. The fluid turns 90 degrees to flow acrossinner surface 144 and aroundpassage 158.Path 142 turns 90 degrees once again to direct coolant flow axially acrosssurface 130 in an opposite direction. Flow continues acrosscylindrical surface 130 and turns 180 degrees aroundend 150 ofrib 140 b and acrossmid-plate 44. This circuitous pattern is repeated until pressurized fluid reaches a blind recess 172 (FIG. 4 ).Rotor shaft 20 is hollow and includes abore 174 extending therethrough.Second end 80 ofrotor shaft 20 is in communication withblind recess 172 such that pressurized fluid flows throughbore 174 and returns to a low pressure zone ofimpeller cavity 46. -
Controller 22 is mounted to aportion 178 ofpartition wall 132 having an increased thickness. The increased thickness portion acts as a heat sink for energy emitted by elements such as MOSFETs ofcontroller 22.Fluid flow path 142 includes many portions ofsurface 144 being in direct contact with the pumped fluid. Heat is transferred fromcontroller 22 to the fluid passing acrosspartition 132. - Another flow path exists to lubricate
