Moreover, the joint portion between the metallic suction side coupling member 42 and the main body casing 34, and the joint portion between the discharge side coupling member 46 and the main body casing 34 can be fixed, for instance, by heating such as welding, soldering and adhesion.
As a result, they can be fixed on the state of sealing.
That is, it has a structure that a jointing method with the air-tight and maintenance strength such as welding and soldering can be applied to these connecting portions.
Thus, they can be fixed by heating such as welding, soldering and adhesion.
Consequently, a high air-tight metal casing and the piping can be used, and it can be used for the fluid in which the resisting pressure and the air-tight are required.
Moreover, it has the blade casing 68, in which the interior space S1 formed by the upper main body casing 36 and the lower main body casing 48 is partitioned.
In addition, it has the blade casing 68, in which the fluid introducing passage 84 is formed on the upper portion and in which the rotating accommodating space S2 to accommodate the rotating blade member 12 is formed on lower portion.
Therefore, the path of the fluid can be easily formed.
In this case, it is preferable that the main body casing 34 comprises a metallic press molded article, and the suction side coupling member 42 and the discharge side coupling member 46 comprise the metal pipe.
As a result, a jointing method with the air-tight and maintenance strength such as welding and soldering can be applied to these connecting portions. Moreover, the cost can be reduced.
Moreover, the main body casing 34 and the coil portion 104 are detachably fixed by a detaching means.
Namely, in this Embodiment, they are fixed detachably by the main body casing side fixing bracket 96 and the coil side fixing bracket 116.
As a result, before fixing the coil portion 104 to the main body casing 34, for instance, heating fixation such as welding, soldering and adhesion and a processing which requires heating can be applied to the main body casing 34, so that working property is improved.
Moreover, because the main body casing 34 and the coil portion 104 are detachably fixed by the detaching means, the exchange when the coil portion 104 is broken down can be facilitated.
In addition, draw direction and coupling direction of wire (i.e. the suction side coupling member 42 and the discharge side coupling member 46) can be arbitrarily selected.
In this case, in this Embodiment, as for the detaching means, engaging between the main body casing side fixing bracket 96 and the coil side fixing bracket 116 is adopted.
That is, it comprises engaging between the engaging piece 124 of the coil side fixing bracket 116 and the engaging piece 100 of the main body casing side fixing bracket 96, and engaging between the engaging portion 102 of the main body casing side fixing bracket 96 and the engaging notch portion 126 of the coil side fixing bracket 116.
However, it is not limited in any way, and as for detaching means, for instance, other detaching means such as engaging by the screw engaging and by the convex or concave can be adopted.
In addition, the axial member 64 of the rotating blade member 12 is pivoted by the upper bearing member 78 and the lower bearing member 60.
Therefore, the bearing of the rotating blade member 12 is a stable structure so that an excellent centrifugal pump 10 in durability and silence can be provided.
That is, the rotation of the rotating blade member 12 is stable, the noise when rotating is reduced.
Moreover, the vibration of the rotating blade member 12 is reduced so that durability can be also improved.
In addition, the connecting passage (i.e. the notch portion 88 and the vertical passage 94), in which the fluid introducing passage 84 and the rotating accommodating space S2 are connected, is formed on the upper bearing member 78.
As a result, piping etc. is not needed separately and the passage can be easily formed.
Moreover, the axial member 64 of the rotating blade member 12 is fixed on the upper bearing member 78 and the lower bearing member 60, and the rotating blade member 12 is rotated around the outer periphery of the axial member 64.
Therefore, the rotation sliding area is increased between the rotating blade member 12 and the outer periphery of the axial member 64, and the contact surface pressure is reduced.
As a result, the rotation of the rotating blade member is stable, the noise when rotating is reduced.
Moreover, the vibration of the rotating blade member is reduced so that durability can be also improved.
In this case, the rotating part between the rotating blade member 12 and the axial member 64 (i.e. at least the inner periphery of the bearing portion 14 of the rotating blade member 12 and the outer periphery of the axial member 64) comprises synthetic resin having a high slidability.
Thus, the bearing portion 14 and the axial member 64 of rotating blade member 12 comprise synthetic resin having a high slidability.
Moreover, only the inner periphery of the bearing portion 14 of rotating blade member 12 and the surface of the outer periphery of the axial member 64 can be covered by synthetic resin having such a slidability.
In this case, as for a synthetic resin having a high slidability, it is not especially limited.
For instance, lubricant resins having chemical resistance such as PPS and PTFE can be used.
Like this, the synthetic resin having a high slidability is used to the rotating part.
As a result, in non-lubrication condition in which the bearing is in the fluid, sliding ability is excellent, the axial member 64 and the rotating blade member 12 will not be worn out and damaged by the rotation of the rotating blade member 12, so that loose and eccentricity are not caused in the rotating blade member 12, and the desired pump performance can be retained.
In this case, though not shown, it is possible to compose so that the axial member 64 is fixed to the rotating blade member 12, and the rotating blade member 12 may rotate between the upper bearing member 78 and the axial member 64 and between the lower bearing member 60 and the axial member 64.
By composing like this, the rotation of the rotating blade member 12 is stable, the noise when rotating is reduced.
Moreover, the vibration of the rotating blade member 12 is reduced so that durability can be also improved.
In addition, in this case similarly, the synthetic resin having a high slidability can be used to the rotating part between the upper bearing member 78 and axial member 64 and between the lower bearing member 60 and the axial member 64.
Part Embodiment 2: FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view that shows another Embodiment of the centrifugal pump of the invention.
The centrifugal pump 10 of this Embodiment is basically similar composition of the centrifugal pump 10 shown in Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 8.
Like reference numeral is refer to the same composition member, and the detailed explanation is omitted.
In the centrifugal pump 10 of the Embodiment 1, the coil 110 is molded with the molding resin, so that the molding resin portion 114 is formed.
As a result, it is integrated, and the coil portion 104 is formed.
On the other hand, in the centrifugal pump 10 of this Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the coil 110 is disposed in a coil casing 136 having bottom cylinder shape.
Moreover, it is fixed by fitting an outer periphery 144 of a cover member 142 to a steps portion 140 formed on the top of a sidewall 138 of the coil casing 136.
In addition, the portion between the steps portion 140 and the cover member 142 of this coil casing 136, if required, is fixed, for instance, by heating such as welding, soldering, adhesion and press fit, etc.
By composing like this, the molding resin is omitted and cost can be reduced and lightening can be attempted.
Although preferable embodiment of the invention is described above, the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
For instance, in the Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the fixing piece main body 130 is narrowed, and is engaged by the engaging piece 132, so that the coil side fixing bracket 116 is fixed to the coil portion 104.
However, though not shown, the coil side fixing bracket 116 is integrated with the molding resin, so that it can be fixed to the coil portion 104.
In addition, in the Embodiment, the number of the suction side coupling member 42 and the discharge side coupling member 46 is assumed to be 1 piece respectively.
However, the number of suction side coupling member 42 and discharge side coupling member 46 can be plurality.
Therefore, various changes are possible in the scope in which it does not deviate from the object of the invention.
Part INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY: The invention can be applied to a centrifugal pump to supply a fluid, which is a cooling water of various machines such as a personal computer, a computer server, and a printer, and a cooling water such as internal combustion engine, and a refrigerant used for a refrigerant circulation circuit etc. of an air conditioning machine such as an air conditioner and a freezer.
