Abstract

An electric pump having a circuit board comprises a motor housing having a rotor and a stator disposed therein, the rotor arranged on a rotation shaft and the stator disposed outside the rotor with a predetermined space therefrom; a first partition wall disposed on a first side of the motor housing and a second partition wall disposed on a second side of the motor housing, the first and second partition walls being fastened to the motor housing; an impeller disposed outside the first partition wall and fastened to an end portion of the rotation shaft; a ceramic board disposed outside the second partition wall and having a first side with a circuit formed thereon, the circuit being electrically connected to the rotor or the stator, the first side further comprising at least one electric device, and a second side facing the second partition wall with recesses arranged in the second side at predetermined distances; and an adhesive member interposed between the ceramic board and the second partition wall.

Claims

1. An electric pump having a circuit board comprising:

a motor housing having a rotor and a stator disposed therein, the rotor arranged on a rotation shaft and the stator disposed outside the rotor with a predetermined space therefrom;

a first partition wall disposed on a first side of the motor housing and a second partition wall disposed on a second side of the motor housing, the first and second partition walls being fastened to the motor housing;

an impeller disposed outside the first partition wall and fastened to an end portion of the rotation shaft;

a circuit board disposed outside the second partition wall and having a first side with a circuit formed thereon, the circuit being electrically connected to the rotor or the stator, the first side of the circuit board further comprising at least one electric device, and a second side of the circuit board facing the second partition wall with recesses arranged in the second side at predetermined distances; and

an adhesive member interposed between the circuit board and the second partition wall,

wherein the adhesive member includes;

a first adhesive member disposed in the recesses disposed in the second side of the circuit board; and

a second adhesive member coated on an outside surface of the second partition wall facing the circuit board,

wherein the circuit board is attached to the second partition wall by the first adhesive member and the second adhesive member being attached to each other,

wherein the first and second adhesive members absorb vibration and noise forwarded to the circuit board,

wherein the second adhesive member is a solid continuous layer that surrounds and encapsulates exposed surfaces of the first adhesive member.

2. The electric pump of claim 1, wherein the first adhesive member protrudes outside the recesses.

3. The electric pump of claim 1, further comprising

a separator arranged to separate a space in which the stator is disposed from a space in which the rotor is disposed, the separator having a first end portion facing the second partition wall with a first end of the rotation shaft rotatably secured to the first end portion by a bearing and a second end portion fastened to the first partition wall,

and a passage formed in the first partition wall,

wherein cooling water that passes the impeller subsequently passes through the passage to an inside of the separator, and flows around a circumference of the rotor.

4. The electric pump of claim 3, wherein

the separator has a protruding portion that protrudes along a center axis matched to the rotation shaft in a direction towards a controller chamber, and

wherein the protruding portion is inserted into a recess in the second partition wall.

5. The electric pump of claim 1, wherein the circuit board includes a ceramic material.
