  • Publication number: 20160341202
    Abstract: An electric pump has a pump body, a pump magnet received in the pump body, an impeller received in the pump body and fixed to the pump magnet, and a disc type electric motor. The electric motor includes a stator, disc type coils fixed to a surface of the stator, a rotor rotatably positioned above the coils, and a circuit board electrically connected to the coils. The rotor has a rotor magnet positioned beneath the pump body and magnetically coupled to the pump magnet. When the coils are energized, an axial magnetic field is generated to drive the rotor and, through the magnetic coupling between the rotor magnet and the pump magnet, rotate the impeller.

  • Patent number: 8593022
    Abstract: An electric motor has a stator and a rotor rotatably mounted in the stator. The rotor has a shaft and a fan mounted on the shaft. A air guide structure with an axial extension portion is arranged at one end of the stator adjacent the fan. The gap between the axial extension portion and the fan in the axial and/or radial direction of the motor is narrow in order to reduce air swirl generated by air flowing from the outlet of the fan to the inlet of the fan through the gap. Preferably, the width of the gap is larger than 0.05 mm and smaller than 2.0 mm. The cooling efficiency of the fan is increased and the performance of the motor is improved.

  • Patent number: 8471430
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator and a rotor rotatably installed in the stator. The stator has a stator core and windings. The stator core has a yoke and a plurality of teeth extending inwardly from the yoke. The stator includes two end caps disposed at opposite axial ends thereof and a plurality of locking members securing the end caps to the stator core. The windings are wound on the respective teeth, and the locking members extend between the end caps through gaps formed between adjacent teeth.
