Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pump, and more particularly to a low-profile pump. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, pumps have a structure having a motor and an impeller, but the motor is often a commercially available product and is not necessarily directly attached to the impeller, so in conventional pumps, the motor and impeller are connected via a coupling. However, the coupling is at risk of being damaged during long-term operation, and the need to attach the coupling increases the volume of the pump and the installation space. Furthermore, conventional pumps often use large motors, which also require a large space for the pump, making them inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention provides a thin pump, which solves the problem that in conventional pumps, the motor and impeller are connected via a coupling, which not only poses a risk of damage to the coupling, but also increases the volume of the pump due to the need to install the coupling, increasing the installation space and making it inconvenient to use the space. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a thin pump. The thin pump has a casing, a thin motor, and a shaft; the casing having an inlet and an outlet and at least one impeller disposed within the casing; the thin motor is connected to the casing, and the axial length of the thin motor is shorter than the axial length of the casing; The shaft is provided within the thin motor, protrudes from the thin motor, and penetrates at least one impeller of the casing, so that the at least one impeller is rotationally driven by the thin motor and the shaft. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] The advantage of this invention is that the thin motor and the impeller share the same shaft, thereby shortening the axial length of the thin motor, thereby shortening the axial length of the entire thin pump and reducing the volume of the thin pump, thereby reducing the space required to install the thin pump.

[0007] 1 to 4, the present invention provides a thin pump having a casing 10, a thin motor 20, a shaft 30, a bracket 40, an outlet portion 50, and an inlet portion 60. In other embodiments, the bracket 40 may not be provided.

[0008] 1, 3, 4, and 5, the casing 10 has an inlet 11, an outlet 12, and at least one impeller 13, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 each penetrating one wall of the casing 10 and communicating with each other, the impeller 13 is installed within the casing 10, the thin motor 20 is connected to the casing 10, and the axial length of the thin motor 20 is shorter than that of the casing 10, and the shaft 30 is installed within the thin motor 20, protruding from the thin motor 20 and drilled into the impeller 13 of the casing 10, so that the impeller 13 is rotated by the thin motor 20 and the shaft 30. As a result, the thin motor 20 of the present invention can directly rotate the impeller 13 without using a coupling, thereby reducing the space required for installing a coupling.

[0009] 1 and 2, the bracket 40 is provided between the thin motor 20 and the casing 10, the shaft 30 is inserted through the bracket 40, and the casing 10 and the thin motor 20 are positioned coaxially by the shaft 30. Specifically, the bracket 40 has a sleeve 41, a motor contact portion 42, and a casing contact portion 43, and the sleeve 41 is provided between the thin motor 20 and the casing 10 and surrounds the shaft 30. The motor contact portion 42 is provided around the outer ring surface of one end of the sleeve 41 that is closer to the thin motor 20, extends outward from the outer ring surface of the sleeve 41 in parallel with the radial direction of the sleeve 41, and is in close contact with the outer ring edge of the side of the thin motor 20 that faces the casing 10 so as to surround the outer ring edge. The casing contact portion 43 is provided around the outer ring surface of the sleeve 41 at one end closest to the casing 10, extends outward from the outer ring surface of the sleeve 41 in parallel to the radial direction of the sleeve 41, and is in close contact with the vicinity of the outer ring edge of the side of the casing 10 facing the thin motor 20 so as to surround the vicinity of the outer ring edge. This allows the bracket 40 to separate the thin motor 20 from the casing 10, and also to lift the casing 10 so that the casing 10 and the thin motor 20 are positioned on the same axis.

[0010] As shown in Figures 1, 3, 4, and 6, in the first embodiment, the outlet portion 50 is provided in the casing 10 and communicates with the outlet 12 of the casing 10 and the outside of the casing 10. The outlet portion 50 has an axial outlet wall surface 51, a radial outlet wall surface 52, and a plurality of outlet through holes 53. The axial outlet wall surface 51 is parallel to the axial direction of the outlet portion 50 and surrounds the outlet 12. The radial outlet wall surface 52 is provided around the outer ring surface of the axial outlet wall surface 51 and extends outward from the outer ring surface of the axial outlet wall surface 51 in a direction parallel to the radial direction of the outlet portion 50. The outlet through hole 53 penetrates the radial outlet wall surface 52 along the axial direction of the outlet portion 50, so that a user can fasten a member that abuts the outlet portion 50 to the outlet portion 50 by drilling a fastening member such as a screw into the outlet through hole 53.

[0011] The inlet portion 60 is provided in the casing 10 and communicates with the inlet 11 of the casing 10 and the outside of the casing 10. The inlet portion 60 has an axial inlet wall surface 61, a radial inlet wall surface 62, and a plurality of inlet through holes 63. The axial inlet wall surface 61 is parallel to the axial direction of the inlet portion 60 and surrounds the inlet 11. The radial inlet wall surface 62 is provided around the outer ring surface of the axial inlet wall surface 61 and extends outward from the outer ring surface of the axial inlet wall surface 61 in parallel to the radial direction of the inlet portion 60. The inlet through hole 63 penetrates the radial inlet wall surface 62 along the axial direction of the inlet portion 60, so that a user can fix a member that abuts against the inlet portion 60 to the inlet portion 60 by drilling a fixing member such as a screw into the inlet through hole 63.

[0012] 7 to 9, the technical features of the second embodiment of the present invention are similar to those of the first embodiment, but differ from the first embodiment in that the outlet portion 50 and the inlet portion 60 are both pipes, and the cross sections of the pipes of the outlet portion 50 and the inlet portion 60 are both polygonal. Specifically, the inner wall surfaces of the outlet portion 50 and the inlet portion 60 are both provided with threads (not shown), which allows the user to use a tool to screw the target pipe into the outlet portion 50 and the inlet portion 60.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 , the technical features of embodiment 3 of the present invention are similar to those of embodiment 1, but differ from embodiment 1 in that the bracket 40A further includes a support member 44, a bottom plate 45, a drain plug 46, a leak detector 47, a baffle plate 48, and a sealing ring 49, and the thin pump further includes a heat dissipation fan 70. The support member 44 is connected to the sleeve 41 and has two connecting portions 441. The two connecting portions 441 are spaced apart and connected to the sleeve 41. Furthermore, the distance between the ends of the two connecting portions 441 farther from the sleeve 41 and the shaft 30 is longer than the distance between the outer surface of the thin motor 20 and the shaft 30, so the two connecting portions 441 allow the thin pump of the present invention to be supported on a single plane. Specifically, when the sizes of the casing 10 and the thin motor 20 are not the same, the support member 44 can support the casing 10 and the thin motor 20 so that the shaft 30 is parallel to the plane. The bottom plate 45 is connected to the sleeve 41 by the support member 44 and is used to install the thin pump on a single plane.

[0014] The drainage plug 46 is removably provided on the bottom side of the bracket 40A. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drainage plug 46 is removably provided on the bottom side of the sleeve 41 and is located between the two connecting portions 441. A user can drain liquid accumulated in the bracket 40A by opening and closing the drainage plug 46. The liquid leakage detection device 47 is provided on the bottom side of the bracket 40A. Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid leakage detection device 47 is removably provided on the bottom side of the sleeve 41. The liquid leakage detection device 47 is used to detect whether liquid has accumulated in the bracket 40A. When the liquid leakage detection device 47 detects that liquid has accumulated in the bracket 40A, it notifies the user, and the user opens the drainage plug 46 to drain the liquid accumulated in the bracket 40A.

[0015] 13 , the baffle plate 48 is provided within the bracket 40A and is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the bracket 40A, and the shaft 30 passes through the baffle plate 48. In this embodiment, the drain plug 46 is provided between the baffle plate 48 and the casing 10. Therefore, even if liquid seeps into the bracket 40A from the casing 10, the baffle plate 48 blocks the liquid from directly contacting the thin motor 20. The seal ring 49 is provided to seal the gap between the baffle plate 48 and the shaft 30. Therefore, even if the user is unable to immediately open the drain plug 46 to drain the accumulated liquid, the liquid is sealed between the baffle plate 48 and the casing 10 and therefore will not come into contact with and damage the thin motor 20.

[0016] The heat dissipation fan 70 is provided at one end of the thin motor 20 remote from the casing 10 and is used to assist the thin motor 20 in dissipating heat.

[0017] Fluid enters the interior space of the casing 10 through the inlet 11 of the casing 10 from the inlet 60. The thin motor 20 then rotates the impeller 13 via the shaft 30, guiding the fluid to the outlet 12 of the casing 10 and discharging it through the outlet 50. If fluid leaks from a location on the impeller 13 near the thin motor 20, it will flow and accumulate within the bracket 40. The liquid leak detector 47 located on the bottom of the bracket 40 will detect the fluid and notify the user, who then opens the drain plug 46 to drain the fluid. With this configuration, even if the user is unable to immediately open the drain plug 46 to drain the fluid, the thin pump of the present invention allows the liquid to remain between the baffle plate 48 and the casing 10, preventing the liquid from immediately coming into contact with the thin motor 20 and reducing the risk of damage to the thin motor 20.

[0018] The advantage of the present invention is that the thin motor 20 and the impeller 13 share the same shaft 30, eliminating the need for a coupling. Furthermore, by shortening the axial length of the thin motor 20, the axial length of the entire thin pump can be shortened, reducing the volume of the thin pump and the space required for installation. Furthermore, the present invention also provides the liquid leakage detection device 47 and the drain plug 46 on the bracket 40. When the liquid leakage detection device 47 detects liquid in the bracket 40, the user can be notified to perform maintenance. The user can then open the drain plug 46 to drain the liquid accumulated in the bracket 40. This prevents liquid from seeping into the thin pump of the present invention and accumulating in the bracket 40 or seeping into the thin motor 20, which could damage the thin motor 20.

[0019] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiments do not limit the configuration of the present invention. Therefore, the above-described embodiments may include omissions, substitutions, or additions of components based on the description in this specification and common general technical knowledge, and all of these should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
