A self-priming assembly for a multi-stage pump is provided. The self-priming assembly includes a first diffuser with a first central portion, a first diffuser axis, a first arcuate channel within the first central portion, and a first arcuate passage extending through the first central portion and a first peripheral portion having a first ledge. The self-priming assembly also includes a second diffuser with a second central portion, a second diffuser axis, a second arcuate channel within the second central portion, a second arcuate passage extending through the second central portion, and a second peripheral portion having a second ledge. The first ledge abuts the second ledge. Further, the self-priming assembly includes an impeller with an impeller axis. The first diffuser and the second diffuser are configured to be combined and to receive the impeller therebetween with the first diffuser axis, the second diffuser axis, and the impeller axis aligned.

Provided are a motor and an electric pump having the same, the motor including: a stator having a center made hollow to vertically pass through its opposite surfaces; a rotor which is disposed to be spaced apart from an inner surface of the stator, and into which a drive shaft is inserted to its center; a terminal block including a frame coupled to an upper side of the stator, ribs extending radially inward from the frame, and a ring portion which is coupled to the ribs and into which an upper side of the drive shaft of the rotor is rotatably inserted; and a terminal coupled to the terminal block and electrically connected to the coil of the stator, wherein the terminal may be easily coupled to the coil of the stator included in the motor, and the stator and the rotor may be easily aligned with each other.

Provided is a regenerative blower. According to an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the regenerative blower comprises an impeller comprising a plurality of blades disposed spaced apart in the circumferential direction, wherein, in the plurality of blades, each blade gap is arranged at an incremental angle (ΔΘi).

An electric fuel pump includes a housing having an oil inlet and an oil outlet, an impeller, a stator unit mounted in the housing and including a stator and a starter terminal set connected to the stator, a packaging adhesive encapsulating the stator and the starter terminal set to create an oil guide passage in communication between the oil inlet and the oil outlet, and a rotor unit mounted in the housing and including a rotor rotatably mounted in the stator and a rotating shaft mounted in the rotor and connected with the impeller. When the stator unit is electrically conducted, the rotor unit drives the impeller to draw a fuel oil into the oil guide passage. When the fuel oil goes through the oil guide passage, the stator and the starter terminal set are well protected by the packaging adhesive and prohibited from contacting the fuel oil.

A vortex pump may include a motor portion and a pump portion. The pump portion includes an impeller that rotates integrally with an output shaft of a motor. The motor portion and the pump portion are separated by a separation wall. A vane-groove region including vane grooves is provided on a surface of the impeller facing the separation wall. The separation wall includes a facing groove facing the vane-groove region and extending along a rotation direction of the impeller. A communication hole that communicates the motor portion and the pump portion is provided on the facing groove. The communication hole extends in a direction along swirling flow formed by the vane grooves and the facing groove when the vortex pump is operating.

A fuel pump includes an output shaft of a motor and an impeller configured to rotate integrally with the output shaft. An outer periphery of the output shaft includes a first flat portion for engaging with the impeller. The impeller includes a through hole at a center thereof, the through hole being larger than an outer diameter of the output shaft and including a second flat portion for engaging with the output shaft. In this fuel pump, when the output shaft and the impeller are arranged coaxially, spots exist which have different lengths of a gap between the first flat portion and the second flat portion in a rotational axis direction of the output shaft.

An impeller for a fluid pump includes a central hub, an inner portion located adjacent to the central hub and an outer portion, the outer partially being radially outward from the inner portion. An array of vanes is located between the inner portion and the outer portion. At least one slot is formed within the outer portion. The at least one slot faces an angle of rotation of the impeller.

A control device is applied to a fuel supply system including a fuel pump that rotates an impeller in a housing and pumps fuel from a fuel tank and a fuel pipe in which fuel discharged from the fuel pump flows. The control device controls the fuel pump. The control device includes an execution device and a storage device that stores a program of a process which is performed by the execution device. In the control device, the execution device performs a coping process of increasing an amount of operation of the impeller when the impeller is deformed and interference with the housing is detected in comparison with a case in which the interference is not detected.

The application discloses a multipurpose transfer pump free of secondary water filling, which comprises a cover plate, a water filling plug, a pump body, an impeller, a pump body flange and a motor, the pump body flange is provided at an end portion of the motor, the pump body is provided on a front surface of the pump body flange, a volute chamber corresponding to the impeller is provided in a back surface of the pump body in an inwards recessed manner. In this way, the multipurpose transfer pump free of secondary water filling disclosed by the application can achieve a self-priming effect without filling water into the pump body when the motor works for a second time, thus improving the impeller lubricating effect.

A diagnostic apparatus for a fuel pump diagnoses the state of a fuel pump based on: a correlation between a pump rotational speed that is a rotational speed of the motor and fuel pressure that is pressure of the fuel discharged from the fuel pump; and an initial correlation that is the correlation in an initial actuation period from when the fuel pump is energized for the first time to when a specified period has elapsed.
