Abstract

A water pump includes: an upper housing formed with an inlet and an outlet of fluid; a lower housing installed to fit in a lower side of the upper housing, having a receiving space formed therein; a shaft fixing support having a lower part of a protrudedly formed shaft inserted in the center of a bottom part of the lower housing; an impeller installed around the shaft; a rotor configured by having a magnet installed around a rotor core; a stator installed inside the lower housing; a lower cover; a shaft upper part fixing support member installed in an upper side of the shaft erectedly inserted in the shaft fixing support; and a synthetic resin mold member formed with a first synthetic resin mold around an outer side of the shaft fixing support and around the shaft, and a second synthetic resin mold around an outer side of the rotor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A water pump ( 100 ), comprising:
an upper housing ( 10 ) formed with an inlet ( 11 ) and an outlet ( 12 ) of fluid;
a lower housing ( 20 ) installed to fit in a lower side of the upper housing ( 10 ), having a receiving space formed therein; a shaft fixing support ( 21 ) having a lower part of a protrudedly formed shaft ( 30 ) inserted in the center of a bottom part of the lower housing ( 20 );
an impeller ( 40 ) installed around the shaft ( 20 );
a rotor ( 50 ) configured by having a magnet ( 52 ) installed around a rotor core ( 51 );
a stator ( 60 ) installed inside the lower housing ( 20 );
a lower cover ( 70 );
a shaft upper part fixing support member ( 80 ) installed in an upper side of the shaft ( 30 ) erectedly inserted in the shaft fixing support ( 21 ); and
a synthetic resin mold member ( 90 ) formed with a first synthetic resin mold ( 91 ) around an outer side of the shaft fixing support ( 21 ) and around the shaft ( 30 ), and a second synthetic resin mold ( 92 ) around an outer side of the rotor ( 50 ),
wherein the rotor core ( 51 ) is insertedly fixed in a rotation shaft ( 44 ) installed in a lower part of a cylindrical reinforcing part ( 43 ) downwardly integrated to a lower part of the impeller ( 40 ), and the magnet ( 52 ) is installed at certain intervals on a circumferential surface of the rotor core ( 51 ) while wrapping and fixing the magnet ( 52 ) with the second synthetic resin mold ( 92 ), so as to combine the impeller ( 40 ) and the rotor ( 50 ).

2. The water pump of claim 1 , wherein the upper side of the shaft ( 30 ) is insertedly fixed in an insertion hole ( 81 ′) of a middle insertion part ( 81 ) of the shaft upper part fixing support member ( 80 ) while a lower side of the shaft ( 30 ) is insertedly fixed in the shaft fixing support ( 21 ).

3. The water pump of claim 1 , wherein the shaft upper part fixing support member ( 80 ) comprises:
a middle insertion part ( 81 ) formed with an insertion hole ( 81 ′) in the center and downwardly prolonged;
a reinforcing piece ( 82 ) installed at certain intervals around an upper part of the middle insertion part ( 81 );
an insertion ring frame ( 83 ) integrally formed by connecting the outer side of each reinforcing piece ( 82 ); and
a fluid passing hole ( 84 ) between the reinforcing piece ( 82 ) and the reinforcing piece ( 82 ).

4. The water pump of claim 3 , wherein an edge of the insertion ring frame ( 83 ) is fixedly installed by being inserted in an inner side step ( 11 ′) of the inlet ( 11 ).

5. The water pump of claim 1 , wherein the water pump is configured by combining an insertion groove ( 44 ′) of a concavo-convex shape formed on a circumferential surface of the rotation shaft ( 44 ) of the impeller ( 40 ) and an insertion protrusion ( 51 ′) of a concavo-convex shape formed inside the rotor core ( 51 ) with each other.

6. A water pump ( 100 ), comprising:
an upper housing ( 10 ) formed with an inlet ( 11 ) and an outlet ( 12 ) of fluid;
a lower housing ( 20 ) installed to fit in a lower side of the upper housing ( 10 ), having a receiving space formed therein; a shaft fixing support ( 21 ) having a lower part of a protrudedly formed shaft ( 30 ) inserted in the center of a bottom part of the lower housing ( 20 );
an impeller ( 40 ) installed around the shaft ( 30 );
a rotor ( 50 ) configured by having a magnet ( 52 ) installed around a rotor core ( 51 );
a stator ( 60 ) installed inside the lower housing ( 20 );
a lower cover ( 70 );
a shaft upper part fixing support member ( 80 ) installed in an upper side of the shaft ( 30 ) erectedly inserted in the shaft fixing support ( 21 ); and
a synthetic resin mold member ( 90 ) formed with a first synthetic resin mold ( 91 ) around an outer side of the shaft fixing support ( 21 ) and around the shaft ( 30 ), and a second synthetic resin mold ( 92 ) around an outer side of the rotor ( 50 ),
wherein the water pump is configured by combining an insertion groove ( 44 ′) of a concavo-convex shape formed on a circumferential surface of a rotation shaft ( 44 ) of the impeller ( 40 ) and an insertion protrusion ( 51 ′) of a concavo-convex shape formed inside the rotor core ( 51 ) with each other.
