Magnetically driven axial-flow pump
First Claim
1. A magnetically driven axial-flow pump comprising:
- an electromagnet unit arranged about the periphery of a pipe;
a cylindrical rotor accommodated in the pipe;
permanent magnets mounted on the periphery of the rotor; and
a spiral vane formed on the inner surface of the rotor, a hollow being formed in the axial center portion of the vane.

Abstract
A magnetically driven axial-flow pump comprising (i) an electromagnet unit 1 arranged about the periphery of a pipe “P”, (ii) a cylindrical rotor 5 accommodated in the pipe “P”, (iii) permanent magnets 6 mounted on the periphery of the rotor 5, and (iv) a spiral vane 7 formed on the inner surface of the rotor 5. A hollow is formed in the axial center portion of the vane 7. Because the rotor 5 and the vane 7 can be made as one piece with an NC machine, precluding the occurrence of gaps in the otherwise-inevitable joint between them, it is easy to make the rotor 5 and the vane 7. Because there are no gaps between the rotor 5 and the vane 7 as mentioned above and there is no object in contact with blood in the center portion of the vane, various germs do not enter blood, no thrombi are formed, blood tissues are not destroyed, and hence the pump is suitable as a blood pump.
