- the rotor case 90 is manufactured by flowing the high temperature resin into the mold, the rotor case 90 is contracted and does not have a target shape. Therefore, if the rotor case 90 is manufactured by the BMC including the potassium family that has the low coefficient of contraction, contraction of the rotor case 90 by cooling may be reduced and the rotor case 90 may be precisely manufactured. In addition, since BMC including the potassium family has good heat-radiating performance, the rotor can be cooled independently. Therefore, the water pump may be prevented from being heat damaged.

- the driver chamber 64 is isolated from the rotor chamber 38 by the case surface 52 . Therefore, the coolant in the rotor chamber 38 does not flow into the driver chamber 64 .
- stator 101 of the electric water pump 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to FIG. 3 .
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a stator of an electric water pump according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

- the insert portion 54 is inserted in the fixing groove 105 so as to limit rotational and axial movements of the stator 101 according to the rotation of the rotor ( 84 , 86 , 88 , and 90 ).
- Such a fixing groove 105 can be formed together with the stator case 109 when the stator case 109 is insert molded, and an additional process or an additional device is not required for forming the fixing groove 105 . Therefore, processes for manufacturing the stator 101 do not increase.

Description
- The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0112234 filed on Nov. 19, 2009, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- 1. Field of the Present Invention
- The present invention relates to an electric water pump. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electric water pump having improved performance and durability.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Generally, a water pump circulates coolant to an engine and a heater in order to cool the engine and heat a cabin. The coolant flowing out from the water pump circulates through and exchanges heat with the engine, the heater, or the radiator, and flows back in the water pump. Such a water pump is largely divided into a mechanical water pump and an electric water pump.
- The mechanical water pump is connected to a pulley fixed to a crankshaft of the engine and is driven according to rotation of the crankshaft (i.e., rotation of the engine). Therefore, the coolant amount flowing out from the mechanical water pump is determined according to rotation speed of the engine. However, the coolant amount required in the heater and the radiator is a specific value regardless of the rotation speed of the engine. Therefore, the heater and the radiator do not operate normally in a region where the engine speed is slow, and in order to operate the heater and the radiator normally, the engine speed must be increased. However, if the engine speed is increased, fuel consumption of a vehicle also increases.
- On the contrary, the electric water pump is driven by a motor controlled by a control apparatus. Therefore, the electric water pump can determines the coolant amount regardless of the rotation speed of the engine. Since components used in the electric water pump, however, are electrically operated, it is important for electrically operated components to have sufficient waterproof performance. If the components have sufficient waterproof performance, performance and durability of the electric water pump may also improve.
- Currently, the number of vehicles having an electric water pump is tending to increase. Accordingly, various technologies for improving performance and durability of the electric water pump are being developed.

-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric water pump according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A inFIG. 1 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , an electric water pump 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes apump cover 10, abody 30, adriver case 50, and adriver cover 70. Thebody 30 is engaged to a rear end of thepump cover 10 so as to form avolute chamber 16, thedriver case 50 is engaged to a rear end of thebody 30 so as to form arotor chamber 38 and astator chamber 42, and thedriver cover 70 is engaged to a rear end of thedriver case 50 so as to form adriver chamber 64. - In addition, an impeller 22 is mounted in the
volute chamber 16, a rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) fixed to ashaft 82 is mounted in therotor chamber 38, astator 101 is mounted in thestator chamber 42, and adriver 80 is mounted in thedriver chamber 64. Theshaft 82 has a central axis x, and the rotor (84, 86 88, and 90) as well as theshaft 82 rotate about the central axis x. Thestator 101 is disposed coaxially with the central axis x of theshaft 82. - The
pump cover 10 is provided with aninlet 12 at a front end portion thereof and anoutlet 14 at a side portion thereof. Therefore, the coolant flows in the electric water pump 1 through theinlet 12, and the pressurized coolant in the electric water pump 1 flows out through theoutlet 14. Aslanted surface 18 is formed at a rear end portion of theinlet 12 of thepump cover 10, and arear end portion 20 of thepump cover 10 is extended rearward from theslanted surface 18. Therear end portion 20 of thepump cover 10 is engaged to acover mounting portion 44 of thebody 30 by fixing means such as a bolt B. Theslanted surface 18 is slanted with reference to the central axis x of theshaft 82, and an intersecting point P of lines extended from theslanted surface 18 is located on the central axis x of theshaft 82. - The
volute chamber 16 for pressurizing the coolant is formed in thepump cover 10, and the impeller 22 for pressurizing and discharging the coolant through theoutlet 14 is mounted in thevolute chamber 16. The impeller 22 is fixed to a front end portion of theshaft 82 and rotates together with theshaft 82. For this purpose, abolt hole 29 is formed at a middle portion of the impeller 22 and a thread is formed at an interior circumference of thebolt hole 29. Therefore, animpeller bolt 28 inserted in thebolt hole 29 is threaded to the front end portion of theshaft 82 such that the impeller 22 is fixed to theshaft 82. A washer w may be interposed between the impeller 22 and theimpeller bolt 28. - The impeller 22 is provided with a confronting surface 26 corresponding to the slanted
surface 18 at the front end portion thereof. Therefore, an intersecting point of lines extended from the confronting surface 26 is also positioned on the central axis x of theshaft 82. The coolant having flowed into the water pump 1 may be smoothly guided and performance of the water pump 1 may be improved as a consequence of disposing centers of the impeller 22 and the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) that are rotating elements of the water pump 1 and a center of thestator 101 that is a fixed element of the water pump 1 on the central axis x. - In addition, the impeller 22 is divided into a plurality of regions by a plurality of
blades 24. The coolant having flowed into the plurality of regions is pressurized by rotation of the impeller 22. - The
body 30 has a hollow cylindrical shape that is opened rearward, and is engaged to the rear end of thepump cover 10. Thebody 30 includes a front surface 32 forming thevolute chamber 16 with thepump cover 10, thestator chamber 42 that is formed at an external circumferential portion of thebody 30 and in which thestator 101 is mounted, and therotor chamber 38 that is formed at an interior circumferential portion of thestator chamber 42 and in which the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) is mounted. - The front surface 32 of the
body 30 is provided with thecover mounting portion 44, a firststator mounting surface 40, a firstbearing mounting surface 48, and apenetration hole 34 formed sequentially from an exterior circumference to a center thereof. - The
cover mounting portion 44 is engaged to therear end portion 20 of thepump cover 10. Sealing means such as an O-ring O may be interposed between thecover mounting portion 44 and therear end portion 20 in order to prevent leakage of the coolant from thevolute chamber 16. - The first
stator mounting surface 40 is protruded rearward from the front surface 32, and defines a boundary between thestator chamber 42 and therotor chamber 38. In a state that the sealing means such as an O-ring O is mounted at the firststator mounting surface 40, the front end of thestator 101 is mounted at the firststator mounting surface 40. - The first
bearing mounting surface 48 is protruded rearward from the front surface 32. Afirst bearing 94 is interposed between the firstbearing mounting surface 48 and the front end portion of theshaft 82 in order to make theshaft 82 smoothly rotate and to prevent theshaft 82 from being inclined. - The
penetration hole 34 is formed at a middle portion of the front surface 32 such that the front end portion of theshaft 82 is protruded to thevolute chamber 16 through thepenetration hole 34. The impeller 22 is fixed to theshaft 82 in thevolute chamber 16. It is exemplarily described in this specification that the impeller 22 is fixed to theshaft 82 by theimpeller bolt 28. However, the impeller 22 may be press-fitted to an exterior circumference of theshaft 82. - Meanwhile, a connecting
hole 36 is formed at the front surface 32 between the firststator mounting surface 40 and the firstbearing mounting surface 48. Therefore, therotor chamber 38 is fluidly connected to thevolute chamber 16. Heat generated at theshaft 82, the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90), and thestator 101 by operation of the water pump 1 is cooled by the coolant flowing in and out through the connectinghole 36. Therefore, durability of the water pump 1 may improve. In addition, floating materials in the coolant are prevented from being accumulated in therotor chamber 38. - The
rotor chamber 38 is formed at a middle portion in thebody 30. Theshaft 82 and the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) is mounted in therotor chamber 38. - A stepped
portion 83, the diameter of which is larger than that of the other part, is formed at a middle portion of theshaft 82. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, ahollow shaft 82 may be used. - The rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) is fixed on the stepped
portion 83 of theshaft 82, and is formed in an unsymmetrical shape. Thrust is exerted on theshaft 82 toward the front surface 32 by the unsymmetrical shape of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) and a pressure difference between thevolute chamber 16 and therotor chamber 38. The thrust generated at theshaft 82 pushes theshaft 82 toward the front surface 32. Thereby, the steppedportion 83 of theshaft 82 may be interfere and collide with thefirst bearing 94 and thefirst bearing 94 may be damaged, accordingly. In order to prevent interference and collision of the steppedportion 83 of theshaft 82 and thefirst bearing 94, a cup 100 is mounted between the steppedportion 83 of theshaft 82 and thefirst bearing 94. Such a cup 100 is made of an elastic rubber material, and relieves the thrust of theshaft 82 exerted to thefirst bearing 94. - Meanwhile, in a case that the cup 100 directly contacts the
first bearing 94, the thrust of theshaft 82 exerted to thefirst bearing 94 can be relieved. However, rotation friction may be generated between thefirst bearing 94 and the cup 100 of a rubber material, and thereby performance of the water pump 1 may be deteriorated. Therefore, athrust ring 98 is mounted between the cup 100 and thefirst bearing 94 in order to reduce the rotation friction between thefirst bearing 94 and the cup 100. That is, the cup 100 reduces the thrust of theshaft 82 and thethrust ring 98 reduces the rotation friction of theshaft 82. It is exemplarily described in this specification that a groove is formed at an exterior circumference of the cup 100 and thethrust ring 98 is mounted in the groove. However, a method for installing thethrust ring 98 to the cup 100 is not limited to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. For example, a groove may be formed at a middle portion of the cup 100 and thethrust ring 98 may be mounted in this groove. Further, it is to be understood that anythrust ring 98 interposed between the cup 100 and thefirst bearing 94 may be included in the spirit of the present invention. - The rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) includes a
rotor core 86, apermanent magnet 88, arotor cover 84, and arotor case 90. - The
magnetic rotor core 86 has a cylindrical shape and is fixed to the steppedportion 83 of theshaft 82 by press-fitting or welding. Therotor core 86 is provided with a plurality of recesses (not shown) formed along a length direction thereof at an exterior circumference thereof, and thepermanent magnet 88 is insertedly mounted in each recesses. - The
permanent magnet 88 is mounted at the exterior circumference of therotor core 86. - A pair of rotor covers 84 are mounted at both ends of the
rotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88. Therotor cover 84 primarily fixes therotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88, and is made of copper or stainless steel that has high specific gravity. - In a state in which the
rotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88 are mounted to therotor cover 84, therotor case 90 wraps exterior circumferences of therotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88 so as to secondarily fix them. Therotor case 90 is made of a bulk mold compound (BMC) including a potassium family that has a low coefficient of contraction. A method for manufacturing therotor case 90 will be briefly described. - The
rotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88 are mounted to therotor cover 84, and therotor cover 84 to which therotor core 86 and thepermanent magnet 88 are mounted is inserted in a mold (not shown). After that, the bulk mold compound including the potassium family is melted and high temperature (e.g., 150° C.) and high pressure BMC is flowed into the mold. Then, the BMC is cooled in the mold. As described above, if therotor case 90 is made of BMC having the low coefficient of contraction, therotor case 90 can be precisely manufactured. In general, the coefficient of contraction of a resin is 4/1000-5/1000, but the coefficient of contraction of the BMC is about 5/10,000. If therotor case 90 is manufactured by flowing the high temperature resin into the mold, therotor case 90 is contracted and does not have a target shape. Therefore, if therotor case 90 is manufactured by the BMC including the potassium family that has the low coefficient of contraction, contraction of therotor case 90 by cooling may be reduced and therotor case 90 may be precisely manufactured. In addition, since BMC including the potassium family has good heat-radiating performance, the rotor can be cooled independently. Therefore, the water pump may be prevented from being heat damaged. - In addition, according to a conventional method for manufacturing the rotor, the permanent magnet is fixed to the exterior circumference of the rotor core with glue. However, as the rotor rotates, high temperature and high pressure are generated near the rotor. Thereby, the glue may be melted or the permanent magnet may be disengaged from the rotor core. The
permanent magnet 88 mounted to therotor core 86, on the contrary, is fixed primarily by therotor cover 84 and secondarily by therotor case 90 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Thus, thepermanent magnet 88 may not be disengaged from therotor core 86. - The
stator chamber 42 is formed in thebody 30 at a radially outer portion of therotor chamber 38. Thestator 101 is mounted in thestator chamber 42. - The
stator 101 is fixed to thebody 30 directly or indirectly, and includes astator core 102, an insulator 104, acoil 108, and astator case 109. - The
stator core 102 is formed by stacking a plurality of pieces made of a magnetic material. That is, the plurality of thin pieces are stacked up such that thestator core 102 has a target thickness. - The insulator 104 connects the pieces making up the
stator core 102 to each other, and is formed by molding a resin. That is, thestator core 102 formed by stacking the plurality of pieces is inserted in a mold (not shown), and then molten resin is injected into the mold. Thereby, thestator core 102 at which the insulator 104 is mounted is manufactured. At this time,coil mounting recesses 106 are formed at front and rear end portions of thestator core 102 and the insulator 104. - The
coil 108 is coiled at an exterior circumference of thestator core 102 so as to form a magnetic path. - The
stator case 109 wraps and seals thestator core 102, the insulator 104, and thecoil 108. Thestator case 109, the same as therotor case 90, is manufactured by insert molding the BMC including the potassium family. - In addition, when the
stator case 109 is insert molded, aHall sensor 112 and aHall sensor board 110 may also be insert molded. That is, thestator 101, theHall sensor 112, and theHall sensor board 110 may be integrally manufactured as one component. - The
Hall sensor 112 detects the position of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). A mark (not shown) for representing the position thereof is formed at the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90), and theHall sensor 112 detects the mark in order to detect the position of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). - The
Hall sensor board 110 controls a control signal delivered to thestator 101 according to the position of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) detected by the Hall sensor. That is, theHall sensor board 110 makes a strong magnetic field be generated at one part of thestator 101 and a weak magnetic field be generated at the other part of thestator 101 according to the position of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). Thereby, initial mobility of the water pump 1 may be improved. - A
case mounting portion 46 is formed at an exterior surface of the rear end of thebody 30. - The
driver case 50 is engaged to the rear end of thebody 30, and is formed of acase surface 52 at a front end portion thereof. Therotor chamber 38 and thestator chamber 42 are formed in thebody 30 by engaging thedriver case 50 to the rear end portion of thebody 30. Abody mounting portion 60 is formed at an external circumference of the front end portion of thedriver case 50 and is engaged to thecase mounting portion 46 by fixing means such as a bolt B. - The
case surface 52 is provided with aninsert portion 54, a secondstator mounting surface 56, and a secondbearing mounting surface 58 formed sequentially from an exterior circumference to a center thereof. - The
insert portion 54 is formed at an external circumferential portion of thecase surface 52 and is protruded forward. Theinsert portion 54 is inserted in and closely contacted to the rear end portion of thebody 30. Sealing means such as an O-ring O is interposed between theinsert portion 54 and the rear end portion of thebody 30 so as to close and seal thestator chamber 42. - The second
stator mounting surface 56 is protruded forward from thecase surface 52 so as to define the boundary between thestator chamber 42 and therotor chamber 38. The rear end of thestator 101 is mounted at the secondstator mounting surface 56 with a sealing means such as an O-ring O being interposed. Thestator chamber 42 is not fluidly connected to therotor chamber 38 by the O-ring O interposed between the firststator mounting surface 40 and the front end of thestator 101 and the O-ring O interposed between the secondstator mounting surface 56 and the rear end of thestator 101. Therefore, the coolant having flowed in therotor chamber 38 does not flow to thestator chamber 42. - The second
bearing mounting surface 58 is protruded forwardly from thecase surface 52. Asecond bearing 96 is interposed between the secondbearing mounting surface 58 and the rear end portion of theshaft 82 so as to make theshaft 82 smoothly rotate and to prevent theshaft 82 from being inclined. - The rear end of the
driver case 50 is open. Thedriver chamber 64 is formed between thedriver case 50 and thedriver cover 70 by engaging thedriver cover 70 of a disk shape to the rear end of thedriver 50 by fixing means such as a bolt B. For this purpose, a protrudingportion 72 is protruded forward from an exterior circumference of thedriver cover 70, and this protrudingportion 72 is inserted in and closely contacted to anexterior circumference 62 of the rear end of thedriver case 50. Sealing means such as an O-ring O is interposed between the protrudingportion 72 and theexterior circumference 62 so as to prevent foreign substances such as dust from entering thedriver chamber 64. - The
driver 80 controlling operation of the water pump 1 is mounted in thedriver chamber 64. Thedriver 80 includes microprocessors and a printed circuit board (PCB). Thedriver 80 is electrically connected to a controller (not shown) disposed at an exterior of the electric water pump 1 through aconnector 74 and receives a control signal of the controller. In addition, thedriver 80 is electrically connected to theHall sensor board 110 so as to transmit the control signal received from the controller to theHall sensor board 110. - Meanwhile, the
driver chamber 64 is isolated from therotor chamber 38 by thecase surface 52. Therefore, the coolant in therotor chamber 38 does not flow into thedriver chamber 64. - Hereinafter, the
stator 101 of the electric water pump 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference toFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a stator of an electric water pump according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , a plurality of fixinggrooves 105 are formed at the external circumference of the rear end of thestator case 109. Theinsert portion 54 is inserted in the fixinggroove 105 so as to limit rotational and axial movements of thestator 101 according to the rotation of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). Such a fixinggroove 105 can be formed together with thestator case 109 when thestator case 109 is insert molded, and an additional process or an additional device is not required for forming the fixinggroove 105. Therefore, processes for manufacturing thestator 101 do not increase. In addition, since thestator 101 is fixed to thebody 30 neither with glue nor by press-fitting, thestator 101 can be easily disassembled from thebody 30. Therefore, if thestator 101 is out of order, thestator 101 can be easily replaced. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 2 , the interior circumference of thestator case 109 forms a part of therotor chamber 38. As described above, the coolant flows into therotor chamber 38 and moves in therotor chamber 38 by rotation of theshaft 82 and the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). Since astator groove 122 is formed at the interior circumference of thestator case 109 along the length direction thereof, the coolant in therotor chamber 38 flows along thestator groove 122 and removes floating materials attached to the interior circumference of thestator case 109. The shape of thestator groove 122 can be easily determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art considering the flow of the coolant in therotor chamber 38. - Further, in order to reduce vibration and noise according to the rotation of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) and to reduce vibration generated when a vehicle drives, a plurality of damping
holes 120 are formed at thestator case 109. Vibration and noise according to the rotation of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) and vibration generated when the vehicle drives are absorbed by movement of gas in thestator chamber 42 through the dampinghole 120. The position and shape of the dampinghole 120 can be easily determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art according to vibration frequency and pressure frequency of thestator 101. In addition, a frothing resin or sound absorbing material may be filled in the dampinghole 120 so as to further reduce vibration and noise. - Meanwhile, the
stator groove 122 and the dampinghole 120 may be formed at the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90). That is, grooves (not shown) may be formed at the exterior circumference of therotor case 90 such that the coolant in therotor chamber 38 flows along the grooves and removes the floating materials attached to the exterior circumference of therotor case 90. In addition, vibration and noise according to the rotation of the rotor (84, 86, 88, and 90) and vibration when the vehicle drives may be absorbed by forming holes (not shown) at therotor case 90. - Since a stator and a rotor that are electrically operated are wrapped by a resin case having waterproof performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, performance and durability of an electric water pump may improve.
- In addition, since a Hall sensor and a Hall sensor board are mounted in the stator and a control signal is changed according to an initial position of the rotor, initial mobility of the electric water pump may improve.
- Further, since the coolant flows in a rotor chamber where the rotor is mounted, the rotor may be cooled and foreign materials in the rotor chamber may be removed.
- Since materials attached to the stator are removed by flow of the coolant in the rotor chamber, performance of the water pump may further improve.
- In addition, vibration and noise may be reduced by means of damping holes formed at a stator case.
