  • Patent number: 10156238
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump includes a rotating blade member including an impeller member and a rotor magnet, a main body casing accommodating the rotating blade member, a coil portion that rotates the rotating blade member is located on a periphery of the rotor magnet, and an axial member associated with the main body casing. The rotating blade member pivots around the axial member. The axial member includes an end portion at axial rotor magnet side, and is fixed at the end portion. The main body casing forms a fluid introducing passage, and is associated with a blade casing accommodating the rotating blade member. An end portion of a bearing portion at an axial fluid introducing passage side is protruded such that the end portion of the bearing portion protrudes from an inner periphery opening portion of the blade casing into the fluid introducing passage.

  • Patent number: 6561480
    Abstract: The present invention provides a motor-operated valve having no additional stopper for stopping the rotation of a rotor at fully open and closed states of the valve to allow a reduced number of parts of the valve and to prevent a noise otherwise generated by the abutment of the rotor against a stopper. The motor-operated valve includes a rotor 17 having a shaft 18 formed with an external thread 20. The motor-operated valve also includes a needle valve element 6 having a needle valve head 5 at one end portion thereof and an internal thread 16 engaging with the external thread 20 at another end portion. The valve element has a joining portion 14 for joining the valve head to the internal thread 20. The motor-operated valve also includes a main valve body 1 having a guide portion which stops the rotation of the valve element but allows the axial movement of the valve element.
