Abstract

A pump includes an impeller for sucking and discharging liquid, a pump case having a suction port and a discharge port through which the liquid is sucked and discharged, and a partition cooperating with the pump case to form a pump chamber in which the impeller is rotatably received. The pump is further includes a rotor having a magnet for rotatingly driving the impeller and a stator having claw-shaped magnetic poles for applying a rotational driving force to the rotor, the rotor and the stator constituting a claw pole type motor that serves as a driving power source of the pump. At least the stator is entirely coated with a molded resin.

Claims (21)

1 . A pump comprising:

an impeller for sucking and discharging liquid;

a pump case having a suction port and a discharge port through which the liquid is sucked and discharged;

a partition cooperating with the pump case to form a pump chamber in which the impeller is rotatably received;

a rotor having a magnet for rotatingly driving the impeller; and

a stator having claw-shaped magnetic poles for applying a rotational driving force to the rotor, the rotor and the stator constituting a claw pole type motor that serves as a driving power source of the pump,

wherein at least the stator is entirely coated with a molded resin.

2 . A pump comprising:

an impeller for drawing and discharging liquid;

a pump case having a suction port and a discharge port through which the liquid is sucked and discharged;

a partition cooperating with the pump case to form a pump chamber in which the impeller is rotatably received;

a rotor having a magnet for rotatingly driving the impeller; and

a stator having claw-shaped magnetic poles for applying a rotational driving force to the rotor, the rotor and the stator constituting a claw pole type motor that serves as a driving power source of the pump,

wherein the stator is formed of a dust core molded by compressing magnetic powder.

3 . The pump of claim 1 , wherein the stator is formed of a dust core molded by compressing magnetic powder.

4 . The pump of claim 1 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an outer rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged outside the partition and the stator is arranged inside the partition.

5 . The pump of claim 2 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an outer rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged outside the partition and the stator is arranged inside the partition.

6 . The pump of claim 3 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an outer rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged outside the partition and the stator is arranged inside the partition.

7 . The pump of claim 1 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an inner rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged inside the partition and the stator is arranged outside the partition.

8 . The pump of claim 2 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an inner rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged inside the partition and the stator is arranged outside the partition.

9 . The pump of claim 3 , wherein the claw pole type motor has an inner rotor structure in which the rotor is arranged inside the partition and the stator is arranged outside the partition.
