Publication number: 20230390546Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic suspension motor (10) and a magnetic suspension blood pump. The magnetic suspension motor (10) comprises a stator assembly (11) and a rotor assembly (12) disposed above the stator assembly (11), with an axial gap (13) provided between the stator assembly (11) and the rotor assembly (12). The stator assembly (11) comprises a stator base (111), a plurality of stator teeth (112) distributed along a circumference of the stator base (111) and extending upward from an upper surface of the stator base (111), and a stator thrust body (114) arranged in an internal cavity enclosed by the plurality of stator teeth (112), wherein the stator teeth (112) are wound with stator coils (113). The rotor assembly (12) comprises a rotor ring (121), a rotor driving magnet (122) disposed on a lower surface of the rotor ring (121), and a rotor thrust magnet (124) disposed in an inner cavity of the rotor ring (121).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Magassist, Inc.Inventors: Thomas George Logan, Peter Colton James Clifton, Chiahao Hsu

MOTOR FOR EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD PUMP, EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD PUMP, AND EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD PUMP SYSTEM
Publication number: 20230021792Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a motor for an extracorporeal blood pump, an extracorporeal blood pump, and an extracorporeal blood pump system. The motor for an extracorporeal blood pump comprises: a housing; an actuator located in the housing and used for driving an impeller in a pump head of the extracorporeal blood pump; at least one sensor located in the housing; and a motor driving-control assembly located in the housing and used to control operation of the motor. Integrating the motor driving-control assembly into the housing of the motor can significantly reduce the dependence of the motor on the control host of the extracorporeal blood pump, the risk of communication failure between the motor and the control host, and the risk of malfunction of the motor driving-control assembly, thereby greatly improving the safety and reliability of the extracorporeal blood pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: Magassist, Inc.Inventors: Thomas George Logan, Peter Colton James Clifton, Bo Wei, Ifan Yen -
Patent number: 11324941Abstract: The invention provides an intraventricular pulsating blood pump fixedly disposed at the ventricularapex inside the ventricle to generate pulsation action. The pulsating blood pump is substantially jellyfish-shaped and includes a bell-shaped pump body and a driving source, an opening of the bell-shaped pump body faces to the outlet of the ventricle, the driving source drives the bell-shaped pump body to contract or relax, and the contraction or relaxation of the bell-shaped pump body drives the blood in the ventricle to eject directionally to the artery and form a convoluted blood flow field between the inner wall of the bell-shaped pump body and the inner wall of the ventricle. The invention not only provides assist to ventricular by pulsating blood flow, but also optimizes the flow field and pressure distribution in the ventricle, the blood pump of the invention is better in biocompatibility than the blood pumps in prior art.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: magAssist Inc.Inventors: Boling Xu, Weiguo Dang, Penghui Huang

Publication number: 20220106981Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a stiffness enhancing mechanism for a magnetic suspension bearing, a magnetic suspension bearing including the stiffness enhancing mechanism, and a blood pump. The magnetic suspension bearing comprises a stator with stator teeth and a rotor disposed within the stator. The stiffness enhancing mechanism comprises: a rotor permanent magnet, a stator permanent magnet, and an axial driving body. The rotor permanent magnet and the rotor of the magnetic suspension bearing form a rotor assembly, which has an asymmetric structure with respect to the main plane (P) of the rotor. The stiffness enhancing mechanism is configured such that the stator permanent magnet generates a radial attractive force to the rotor permanent magnet, and the axial driving body generates an axial repulsive force to the rotor permanent magnet, wherein the magnitude of the axial repulsive force is variable with a change of an axial distance between the axial driving body and the rotor permanent magnet).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2020Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: Magassist, Inc.Inventors: Chiahao Hsu, Polin Hsu, Ifan Yen, Thomas George Logan
