[0040] Specifically, the micro pump comprises a pump housing 1, an impeller 8 axially arranged in the pump housing 1, a guide vane 9 connected to the rear of the pump housing 1, and a driving member arranged at the rear of the guide vane 9 and suitable for driving the impeller 8 to rotate. The impeller 8 is suitable for rotating under the drive of the driving member to pump the medium entering the pump housing 1; the guide vane 9 is suitable for guiding the medium pumped by the impeller 8 out of the pump housing 1.
[0041] In a specific implementation, the pump housing 1 is suitable for providing a reliable passage for the impeller 8 to pump the medium.
[0042] In some embodiments, the pump housing 1 has a hollow cylindrical shape. The impeller 8 is disposed in the pump housing 1 along the axial direction.

The pump housing inlet 101 is suitable for allowing external media to enter the pump housing 1; the pump housing outlet 102 is suitable for allowing the media in the pump housing 1 to leave the pump housing 1.
[0044] In some embodiments, the micropump can be used as a blood pump. In this case, the medium can include blood. The micropump can be used to pump blood in the heart to the artery.
[0045] In a specific implementation, the guide vane 9 is connected to the rear of the pump housing 1 and includes a guide vane blade 901 at the front thereof for rectifying the pumped medium. The guide vane blade 901 is arranged corresponding to the pump housing outlet 102 to guide the medium pumped by the impeller 8 out of the pump housing outlet 102.
[0046] In some embodiments, a plurality of guide vane blades 901 are provided along the circumference of the guide vane 9 .
[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the axial direction of the micro pump and its components is the same as the direction of the rotation axis of the impeller 8. Accordingly, the circumferential direction and the radial direction are both determined based on the axial direction.

[0057] In a specific implementation, the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 are adapted to rotate along with the casing 5 to guide the medium remaining in the guide vane 9 out of the guide vane outlet 902 .
[0058] In a specific implementation, the micro pump further includes a first drive shaft 3 at least partially inserted into the pump housing 1 and the guide vane 9 and adapted to connect the impeller 8 and the drive member. Specifically, the first drive shaft 3 passes through the guide vane 9, and its two ends are respectively connected to the impeller 8 and the drive member.
[0059] In some embodiments, the impeller 8 is connected to the first drive shaft 3 by interference fitting.

[0063] In some embodiments, an interference fit is adopted between the spherical sliding bearing 10 and the first driving shaft 3 .
[0064] In some embodiments, the micro pump further comprises a positioning pin 14. The positioning pin 14 is adapted to be axially penetrated in the guide vane 9 and the spherical sliding bearing seat 11 so as to position and connect the guide vane 9 and the spherical sliding bearing seat 11 in the axial direction.
[0065] In some embodiments, the micro pump further includes a drive bushing 4 at least partially disposed in the spherical sliding bearing seat 11 and located at the rear end of the spherical sliding bearing 10. The drive bushing 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first drive shaft 3 and is fixed by the spherical sliding bearing 10 and the cover 5.
[0066] In some embodiments, the front end of the first driving shaft 3 is connected to the rear end of the impeller 8, and the rear end thereof passes through the housing 5 and is connected to the driving member. When the driving member rotates, the impeller 8 is driven to rotate through the first driving shaft 3.
[0067] In a further embodiment, when the driving member rotates, the housing 5 rotates with the driving member and drives the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 to rotate synchronously.

[0068] In some embodiments, a plurality of centrifugal blades 501 are arranged in a radial shape on the front end surface of the housing 5 .
[0069] In a further embodiment, a plurality of centrifugal blades are evenly spaced and arranged in a radial shape on the front end surface of the housing 5 .
[0070] In some embodiments, each of the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 is bent and extended along a radial direction at the front end surface of the housing 5 .
[0071] In a specific implementation, the rotation direction of the casing 5 is consistent with the rotation direction of the impeller 8, and the rotation direction depends on the bending direction of the impeller blades, and the bending direction of the centrifugal blades 501 is determined based on the rotation direction.
[0072] In a further embodiment, the width of each centrifugal blade 501 in the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 gradually decreases along the corresponding radial direction.
[0073] In some embodiments, each centrifugal blade 501 in the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 has a backward curved blade shape.
[0074] The above technical solution can not only reduce the power consumption of the centrifugal blades 501, but also reduce the speed increment of the driving medium such as blood, which can avoid the rupture of the medium such as blood due to excessive acceleration, and is conducive to controlling a good hemolysis value. In addition, the required transmission torque is small and the transmission efficiency is high, which will not affect the size of the driving part.
[0075] In some embodiments, a first channel 903 is provided in the guide vane 9 ; the medium remaining in the guide vane 9 is suitable for reaching the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 through the first channel 903 and being discharged by the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 .

[0080] In some embodiments, a plurality of guide vane channels 905 and a plurality of bearing seat channels 111 are respectively provided, and the plurality of guide vane channels 905 and the plurality of bearing seat channels 111 correspond one to one to form a plurality of first channels 903, so that the medium such as blood remaining in the guide vane 9 is respectively drained to the plurality of centrifugal blades 501 through the plurality of first channels 903, and the remaining medium such as blood is further drained out through the plurality of centrifugal blades 501.
[0081] In a further embodiment, three guide vane channels 905 and three bearing seat channels 111 may be respectively provided, and the three guide vane channels 905 and the three bearing seat channels 111 correspond one to one to form three first channels 903, so that the medium such as blood remaining in the guide vane 9 is respectively drained to the multiple centrifugal blades 501 through the three first channels 903, and then the residual medium such as blood is discharged through the multiple centrifugal blades 501.
[0082] As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the micro pump further includes a positioning pin 14 .
[0083] In a further embodiment, a plurality of positioning pins 14 may be provided, and each positioning pin 14 of the plurality of positioning pins 14 is axially penetrated in a group of corresponding guide vane channels 905 and bearing seat channels 111, so that the corresponding guide vane channels 905 and bearing seat channels 111 are connected front to back and form a corresponding first channel 903, thereby ensuring the patency of the first channel 903, and further facilitating the residual medium in the guide vane 9, such as blood, to pass through the first channel 903.
[0084] In a specific implementation, the number of the positioning pins 14 is the same as the number of the first channels 903 , so that one first channel 903 is connected by one positioning pin 14 .

[0086] As mentioned above, the micro pump further comprises a spherical sliding bearing seat 11 installed in the middle of the guide vane 9 .
[0087] In some embodiments, the rear end face of the spherical sliding bearing seat 11 is flush with the middle rear end face of the guide vane 9. In this case, the second channel 904 includes a gap between the front end face of the cover 5 and the middle rear end face of the guide vane 9 and the rear end face of the spherical sliding bearing seat 11.
[0088] In a specific implementation, a non-zero angle is formed between the second channel 904 and the first channel 903 .
[0089] In a specific implementation, the second channel 904 is suitable for accommodating a plurality of centrifugal blades 501, and is respectively connected to the first channel 903 and the guide vane outlet 902.

[0099] In some embodiments, the active magnetic wheel 602 can be fixed on the second driving shaft 709 by bonding.
[0100] In some embodiments, the front cover 702 and the rear cover 706 are each equipped with a ball bearing 701 for supporting the second drive shaft 709 to rotate.
[0101] In some embodiments, the micro pump further includes an active magnetic wheel bushing 13 disposed in the active magnetic wheel chamber. The active magnetic wheel bushing 13 is sleeved outside the second drive shaft 709, one end of which abuts against the step where the second drive shaft 709 passes through the bearing or against the inner ring of the bearing, and the other end abuts against the active magnetic wheel 602, thereby forming a limit.
[0102] In some embodiments, the motor assembly 7 may include a magnetic steel 708 disposed around the second drive shaft 709, a coil 705 wound around the magnetic steel 708, and an iron core 704 disposed around the coil 705.

[0103] In some embodiments, the micro pump further includes a driving board 710 disposed in the housing 703 , and a power supply line 707 passing through the rear cover 706 and connected to the driving board 710 .
[0104] In a specific implementation, the driving board 710 is powered by the power supply line 707. The driving board 710 has a built-in program for powering the coil 705, so that the coil 705 generates a magnetic field when powered, thereby magnetizing the iron core 704, and driving the magnet 708 through the magnetized iron core 704 to drive the second driving shaft 709 to rotate.
[0105] In a specific implementation, the rotation of the second driving shaft 709 can drive the active magnetic wheel 602 to rotate, and then drive the driven magnetic wheel 601 to rotate through magnetic coupling, so that the impeller 2 is driven to rotate through the rotating driven magnetic wheel 601 to pump the medium.
[0106] In a specific implementation, the impeller 8 is an axial flow impeller. Accordingly, the micro pump is an axial flow pump, and its overall pumping medium, such as blood pumping function, is provided by the axial flow impeller. The centrifugal blades 501 are mainly used to increase the flow speed of the medium, such as blood, in the guide vane flushing channel, i.e., the first channel 903 and the second channel 904, so as to improve the flushing effect.
[0107] In a specific implementation, the flow direction of the medium such as blood pumped out by the centrifugal blades 501 is consistent with the flow direction of the medium such as blood pumped out by the axial flow impeller, which will not cause a decrease in the pumping efficiency such as blood pumping.
[0108] Furthermore, when the medium pumped by the micropump is blood, the blood pumped by the centrifugal blades 50 will immediately participate in the cardiovascular circulation, and no blood will repeatedly participate in the centrifugal circulation, that is, no repeated cutting will be formed, and no adverse effects will be caused on blood cells.
