  • Patent number: 9163635
    Abstract: An electric water pump includes a housing, a propelling mechanism disposed in the housing, and a driving mechanism for driving a driving shaft of the propelling mechanism. The driving shaft has a fluid passage in fluid communication with an impeller chamber and a cooling chamber in the housing. The propelling mechanism further includes a spiral rod disposed in the fluid passage and co-rotatable with the driving shaft, and an impeller disposed in the impeller chamber. During operation of the propelling mechanism, the impeller drives flow of a fluid, and the spiral rod co-rotates with the driving shaft to change the rate of the fluid flowing through the driving shaft.

  • Patent number: 9046087
    Abstract: A motor pump unit for a high-pressure cleaning apparatus has an electric motor and a pump. The electric motor has a motor housing that is surrounded by a cooling housing with an annular space having an annular space inlet and an annular space outlet formed therebetween. The pump has a suction inlet connected to the annular space outlet and a pressure outlet. The liquid to be transported by the pump can be supplied to the annular space inlet. In order to improve the motor pump unit such that the motor housing can have a small wall thickness and can still be cooled effectively over a large surface area, the motor housing is configured as a one-piece deep-drawn part which in a front shell area contacts stator laminations of the electric motor and in a rear shell area is arranged at a distance from rear coil heads of the stator and in the rear shell area has stiffness-enhancing depressions, wherein the front and the rear shell areas are surrounded by the annular space.
