Abstract

Embodiments are provided for a fluid pump having a hollow shaft centrifugal impeller capable of using suction or pressure to move large volume flows of fluids including liquids and gasses. In one or more non-limiting embodiments, the pump has an impeller assembly that is capable of being attached to the inner circumference of a housing tube and said housing tube is connected to a magnetic rotary. The magnetic rotary is capable of spinning the hollow shaft and the impeller assembly inside the hollow shaft and moving the fluid through the hollow shaft.

Claims (35)

1. A centrifugal impeller comprising:

a centrifugal impeller having an outer and an inner circumference, said inner circumference comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet and outlet ends are substantially perpendicular to said inner circumference; and

two or more impeller blades each connected to the inner circumference of the centrifugal impeller and extending continuously from the inlet end of the inner circumference to the outlet end of the inner circumference, each of the two or more impeller blades positioned radially outwardly at the inlet end and extend radially inwardly to the outlet end;

wherein said two or more impeller blades form at least one channel between the two or more impeller blades for compressing a fluid as it travels from said inlet end to said outlet end; and

wherein a portion of each of the two or more impeller blades extends outs outwards of the centrifugal impeller's outlet end.

2. The centrifugal impeller of claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more impeller blades includes an outlet portion.

3. The centrifugal impeller of claim 2 , wherein an edge of each outlet portion forms a wedge shape.

4. The centrifugal impeller of claim 1 , wherein the two or more impeller blades include a total of five impeller blades.

5. The centrifugal impeller of claim 1 , wherein an edge of said one or more impeller blades forms a wedge shape.

6. The centrifugal impeller of claim 1 , further comprising a hollow shaft having an outer circumference.

7. The centrifugal impeller of claim 6 , wherein the outer circumference of the hollow shaft includes one or more slots.

8. The centrifugal impeller of claim 7 , wherein the hollow shaft is tubular in shape.

9. The centrifugal impeller of claim 8 , wherein the one or more slots extend longitudinally along the hollow shaft.

10. The centrifugal impeller of claim 9 , wherein the one or more slots includes a total of five slots.

11. The centrifugal impeller of claim 1 , wherein the centrifugal impeller is comprised of one or more of the following materials: stainless steel, brass, bronze, carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum, various metal alloys, nylon and plastic.

12. A centrifugal impeller assembly comprising:

a centrifugal impeller having an outer and inner circumference, said inner circumference comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet and outlet ends are substantially perpendicular to said inner circumference;

two or more impeller blades each connected to the inner circumference of the centrifugal impeller and extending continuously from the inlet end of the inner circumference to the outlet end of the inner circumference, each of the two or more impeller blades positioned radially outwardly at the inlet end and extend radially inwardly to the outlet end, wherein said two or more impeller blades form one or more spirally wrapped channels in between the two or more impeller blades for compressing a fluid as it travels from said inlet end to said outlet end;

and wherein a portion of each of the two or more impeller blades extends outwards of the centrifugal impeller's outlet end; and

a hollow shall having an outer circumference comprising one or more slots, wherein said hollow shaft's inner circumference is adaptable to fixedly attach to the outside circumference of the centrifugal impeller.

13. The centrifugal impeller assembly of claim 12 , wherein the centrifugal impeller assembly is comprised of a non-magnetic material with metal inserted in the hollow shaft.

14. The centrifugal impeller assembly of claim 12 , wherein each of the two or more impeller blades includes an outlet portion positioned at the outlet end of said centrifugal impeller.

15. The centrifugal impeller assembly of claim 14 , wherein the one or more outlet blades includes a total of five outlet blades.

16. The centrifugal impeller assembly of claim 14 , wherein each outlet portion extends outwards of said centrifugal impeller, wherein the outlet portions are configured for pushing water away from the centrifugal impeller when rotated.

17. A fluid pump, comprising:

a centrifugal impeller assembly comprising:

a centrifugal impeller having an outer and inner circumference, said inner circumference comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet and outlet ends are substantially perpendicular to said inner circumference;

two or more impeller blades each connected to the inner circumference of the centrifugal impeller and extending continuously from the inlet end of the inner circumference to the outlet end of the inner circumference, each of the two or more impeller blades positioned radially outwardly at the inlet end and extend radially inwardly to the outlet end, wherein said two or more impeller blades form one or more spirally wrapped channels in between the two or more impeller blades for compressing a fluid as it travels from said inlet end to said outlet end;

wherein a portion of each of the two or more impeller blades extends outwards of the centrifugal impeller's outlet end;

a hollow shaft having an outer circumference comprising one or more slots, wherein said hollow shaft's inner circumference is adaptable to fixedly attach to the outside circumference of the centrifugal impeller;

a housing tube having an outer and inner circumference, wherein said housing tube's inner circumference comprises one or more guide rails adapted to removably engage with said impeller assembly's one or more slots; and

a magnetic rotary connected to the outer circumference of said housing tube.

18. The fluid pump of claim 17 , wherein each of the two or more impeller blades includes an outlet portion positioned at the outlet end of said centrifugal impeller.

19. The fluid pump of claim 17 , wherein the magnetic rotary includes a ring including one or more bearings and one or more permanent magnets.

20. The fluid plump of claim 19 , wherein the magnetic rotary is configured for rotating the housing tube when electricity is applied.
