Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A turbomachine including a rotary body including a motor shaft supplying mechanical power, and at least one magnetic drive pump including at least: one stator delimiting an annular inner space and including a first and a second flange, a rotor arranged in the inner space between the first and second flanges and capable of driving fluid, the rotor being able to rotate about an axis of rotation, a pair of magnets having opposite polarities coaxially arranged on the rotor with the axis of rotation, a magnet arranged on the first flange in order to co-operate with one of the magnets of the pair of magnets of the rotor, a magnetic rotator for rotating the rotor arranged on the second flange, the second flange being non-magnetic.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A turbomachine comprising a rotary body comprising a motor shaft supplying mechanical power, and at least one magnetic drive pump comprising at least: a stator delimiting an annular internal volume and comprising a first flange and a second flange, a rotor arranged in the internal volume between the first flange and the second flange and capable of driving a fluid, the rotor being able to rotate about an axis of rotation, a pair of magnets having opposite polarities coaxially arranged on the rotor with the axis of rotation, a magnet arranged on the first flange to cooperate with one of the magnets of the pair of magnets of the rotor, and means for magnetically driving the rotor in rotation arranged on the second flange, the second flange being non-magnetic. 2. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic drive means comprises a drive shaft mechanically coupled to the motor shaft of the rotary body of the turbomachine and a pair of magnets having opposite polarities arranged coaxially with the axis of rotation and secured to the drive shaft, and the second flange comprises a bearing housing said pair of magnets of the magnetic drive means. 3. The turbomachine according to claim 2 , wherein the magnets of the pair of magnets arranged on the rotor, the magnet arranged on the first flange and the magnets of the magnetic drive means are permanent magnets. 4. The turbomachine according to claim 2 , wherein the magnets of the pair of magnets arranged on the rotor, the magnet arranged on the first flange and the magnets of the magnetic drive means form a row of magnets of alternating polarities. 5. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnetic drive pump is of the liquid ring, lateral channel, gerotor, centrifugal or positive displacement gear type. 6. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein at least one pump of the at least one magnetic drive pumps is arranged to supply the turbomachine with fuel or lubricant. 7. An aircraft comprising at least one turbomachine according to claim 1 .
