BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an involute jet pump, and more particularly to an involute jet pump that firstly generates magnetic field induction between a rotor internally inserted with blades and a stator armature circularly disposed at outside of the rotor and then electrically modulates the rotating magnetic field of the stator armature to allow the rotor to drive the helical blades, thereby effectively improving output efficacy and effectively reducing the whole volume.

2. Description of the Related Art

A pump mainly moves fluid at industry and daily life and also transports a liquid and gas mixture. A centrifugal pump is a pump that converts speed into pressure by utilizing centrifugal force. With reference to FIG. 1 for a schematic diagram of drawing a conventional centrifugal pump. The conventional centrifugal pump includes a motor 10 and a hollow pump body 20. An impeller 30 is disposed inside the hollow pump body 20, and a water inflow hole 210 and a water outflow hole 220 are disposed on the hollow pump body 20. The impeller 30 is connected to the motor 10, and the impeller 30 can rotate at high speed through the linking of the motor 10. A fluid flows into the hollow pump body 20 through the water inflow hole 210 and then flows out the hollow pump through the water outflow hole 220 after obtaining kinetic energy in accordance with the rotation of the impeller 30.

However, the motor 10 of the conventional centrifugal pump may have larger volume although it is connected outside of the hollow pump body 20. Moreover, the output efficacy of the conventional centrifugal pump is low. In other words, after inputting electricity to the motor 10, in a process that allows the centrifugal pump to drive and compress the impeller 30 for pushing the fluid to be outputted through the spindle shaft of the motor 10, the whole efficacy can be only remained at half output efficacy after losing at many places of the centrifugal pump. Consequently, it may cause low efficacy and energy consuming and needs to be overcome.

The stationary sheet 9 has a through hole 91 passed by the spiral blade 1. In addition, the rubber sheet 8 also has a through hole 81 passed by the spiral blade 1 and provided for placing the push-stopping bearing 4.

With reference to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B for a cross-sectional drawing of top view of a combined central place of an involute jet pump according to a first preferable embodiment of the invention and a cross-sectional drawing of side view of a combined central place of an involute jet pump according to a first preferable embodiment of the invention are depicted. Firstly, the rotor 2 is attached to an outside of the hollow tube body 11, in which the inside is fixedly connected to the spiral blade 1. The stator 3 is disposed inside the hollow housing 7, and the rotor 2 is further disposed in the stator 3 such that the stator 3 is circularly disposed at the outside of the rotor 2. A predetermined air gap is between the stator 3 and the rotor 2 so that when the rotor 2 rotates in the stator 3, it may not rub against the inner wall of the stator 3. Next, the spiral blade 1 sequentially passes through the through hole 91 of the stationary sheet 9, the through hole 53 of the third ring body 51, the through hole 43 of the second ring body 42 and the through hole 43 of the first ring body 41 at a side of the housing 7 in a direction being distant from the housing 7. In addition, the rubber sheet 8 is assembled in the cover body 6. The foregoing spiral blade 1 then passes through the through hole 81 of the rubber sheet 8 such that the stop-pushing bearing 4 is exactly located at the through hole 81 of the rubber sheet 8. At this time, the spiral blade 1 is located in the cover body 6. Finally, the cover body 6 is fixedly connected to the housing 7.

Similarly, the spiral blade 1 sequentially passes through the through hole 91 of the stationary sheet 9, the through hole 43 of the third ring body 41, the through hole 43 of the second ring body 42 and the through hole 43 of the first ring body 41 at another side of the housing 7 at another side of the housing 7 symmetrizing to the foregoing side in a direction being distant from the housing 7. Similarly, the rubber sheet 8 is assembled in the cover body 6. The foregoing spiral blade 1 passes through the through hole 81 of the rubber sheet 8 such that the push-stopping bearing 4 is exactly placed to the through hole 81 of the rubber sheet 8. At this time, the spiral blade 1 is located in the cover body 6. Finally, the cover body 6 is fixedly connected to the housing 7. The cover body 6 and the housing 7 selectively encapsulate insulation waterproof articles (not shown in the figure) to allow the cover body 6 and the housing 7 to have insulation and waterproof functions. The foregoing insulation waterproof article can adopt insulation waterproof material frequently seen in markets. For example, polyurethane, however, is not the key point of the invention and no need to depict herein.

With reference to FIG. 5 for a schematic diagram of an operation of an involute jet pump according to the invention is depicted. The stator 3 has a rotating magnetic field after electrifying. A magnetic field induction then is generated between the rotor 2 and the stator 3. A control circuit (not shown in the figure) is used to electrically modulate the rotating magnetic field of the stator 3. Since the rotor 2 has the plurality of magnetic poles 21 and magnetic fields of adjacent magnetic poles 21 are different, the rotor 2 attached to the spiral blade 1 generates balanced rotating magnetic field due to driven and modulated armature coil of the stator 3 such that the spiral blade 1 is driven by the rotor 2 to rotate at the original place by taking transversal axis A as a center. At this time, the magnetic fields at horizontally adjacent sides of the first ring body 41 and the second ring body 42 are repulsiveness, while the magnetic fields at vertically adjacent sides of the third ring body 51 and the fourth ring body 52 are repulsiveness. The rotor 2 may not be pushed out of the cover body 6 due to horizontal repulsive force while in rotation, and the rotor 2 may not rub against the stator 3 due to the horizontal and vertical repulsive forces such that stability of the rotor 2 can be ensured during rotation.

After the fluid, which is shown as a flowing direction B, flowing into the rotor 2 through the piercing hole 61 of the cover body 6 at a side of the housing 7, the fluid obtains the kinetic energy in accordance with the rotation of the spiral blade 1 and flows and finally flows out of the housing 7 through the piercing hole 61 of the cover body 6 at another side corresponding to the side. The rotation speed of the spiral blade 1 can be controlled by the modulation frequency of the control circuit (not shown in the figure).

It should be noted that with the foregoing depiction, the ordinary skill in the art according to the invention can understand that how the rotating magnetic field of the stator 3 be modulated by the control circuit, and the magnetic field of the stator 3 modulated by the control circuit is a conventional technique so that there is no need to describe in detail.
