Abstract:
A water supply apparatus is provided to meet demands for energy saving by controlling the rotational speed of a pump (1), for example, so as to lower the rotational speed in the time zone when water is not used much while avoiding the time zone when water is used in large quantities. The water supply apparatus includes the pump (1) configured to pressurize and deliver water, a frequency converter configured to supply electric power to the pump (1) to operate the pump (1) at a variable speed, and a controller (15) configured to send operating signals to the frequency converter so as to operate the pump (1) either at a first operation or at a second operation with less power consumption than the first operation. The controller (15) is configured to judge whether the operation of the pump (1) should be shifted from the first operation to the second operation based on an operational state of the pump (1).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent slipping between a shaft sleeve and a pump shaft, even if there is slight looseness in a vane-stop nut caused by reverse rotation or the like of an electric motor. SOLUTION: A pump device comprises: the pump shaft 18 whose outer circumferential part is spline-machined; an impeller 34 attached to the pump shaft 18; and the shaft sleeves 36, 38 directly or indirectly abutted with an end face in an axial direction of the impeller 34 and attached to the pump shaft 34. A detent part 60 is formed in inner diameter parts of the shaft sleeves 36, 38 to prevent its rotation with respect to the pump shaft 18. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pipe connection structure in which a pipe connection operation is easily performed and liquid leakage or the like does not occur in a connection part, and to provide a pump device using the pipe connection structure. SOLUTION: In this pipe connection structure of the pump in which pipes 42 and 50 are respectively connected to a suction nozzle 32 and a delivery nozzle 33 of a pump casing 14 having the suction nozzle 32 and the delivery nozzle 33, sockets 37 and 46 to which one end of the pipe 42 and one end of the pipe 50 are respectively connected are coupled to the nozzles 32 and 33, respectively. The nozzles 32 and 33 respectively have flange parts 34 and 43 of large diameter and respectively have projecting parts 35 and 44 of small diameter. The sockets 37 and 46 respectively have flange parts 38 and 47 abutting on the flanges 34 and 43, and a nozzle fitting holes 39 and 48. Seal members 36 and 45 are respectively fitted to outer peripheries of the projecting parts 35 and 44 of the respective nozzles, the projecting parts of the nozzles 32 and 33 are fitted in the fitting holes 39 and 48 of the sockets 37 and 46, respectively, and the flange parts 34 and 38, and the flange parts 43 and 47 are fastened by a fastener in a state in which the flange parts 34 and 38 abutting on each other and the flange parts 43 and 47 abutting on each other.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a helical groove pump of high efficiency and high durability, of a simple structure, small and compact, and good in manufacturability. SOLUTION: The helical groove pump is provided with a rotary disk 16 rotating in a handling liquid, a doughnut shaped fixed disk 17 on which the rotary disk 16 slides, a helical groove provided on a sliding surface of either of the rotary disk 16 and the fixed disk 17. The helical groove 17a is provided to generate high pressure in an outer diameter side with rotation of the rotary disk 16 and a suction port 17o of a pump part is provided on an inner diameter part of the fixed disk 17. Since the helical groove pump is constructed to provide either of the rotary disk or the fixed disk with the helical groove and to generate pumping action by the rotary disk and the fixed disk, the helical groove pump is of high efficiency and high durability, of a simple structure, small and compact, and good in manufacturability.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gear pump suitable for use in a minimum flow rate/small output region, and having excellent durability, simple structure, small-sized/compact body, and good productivity. SOLUTION: The gear pump comprises a cylindrical motor stator 11, a motor rotator 12, a drive gear 47, and a driven gear 48. The gear pump further comprises: an outer casing 41; and an inner casing 43 disposed in the outer casing and constituted of two or more members (an inner casing body 44, and side plates 45, 46). The inner casing 43 houses the drive gear 47 and the driven gear 48. A flow passage is disposed to the outer casing 41 to guide handling liquid to a motor rotator chamber 20. A discharge port 16 is disposed to the motor rotator chamber 20 to discharge the handling liquid. A stator can 22 covers an inner periphery of the motor stator 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
