DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS

[0095] FIG. 1A, already described in connection with the prior art, illustrates an electromagnetic pump including two magnetic inductors 100, 200, one internal, the other external.

[0096] Thus, such an electromagnetic pump 1 includes, starting from a central axis 301 of the electromagnetic pump 1: [0097] the internal magnetic inductor 100 including a first plurality of elementary coils 111, [0098] the internal protection tube 310, [0099] the channel 320, [0100] the external protection tube 330, [0101] the external magnetic inductor 200 including a second plurality of elementary coils 211.

[0102] Each magnetic inductor 100, 200 includes: [0103] a magnetic inductor body 101, 201, [0104] the plurality of elementary coils 111, 211, [0105] conductors, not shown in FIG. 1A, allowing to connect the elementary coils together and to connect them to the first, second and third phases, not shown in FIG. 1A.

[0106] For each of the magnetic inductors 100, 200, the magnetic inductor body 101, 201 has a tubular shape centred around a central axis 301 of said magnetic inductor 100, 200. The magnetic inductor body 101 includes a plurality of transverse grooves 102, 202 which follow one another along the inductor body, each of the transverse grooves 102, 202 housing a corresponding elementary coil 111, 211. The magnetic inductor body 101, 202 includes a plurality of non-illustrated radial magnetic plates assembled together.

[0107] In the context of the invention, the electromagnetic pump 1 includes at least one magnetic inductor 100, 200 from the internal magnetic inductor 100 and the external magnetic inductor 200, preferably both, having a coupling of elementary coils 111, 211 according to the invention. Such a coupling according to the invention is particularly advantageous for an internal magnetic inductor 100 according to the invention, this is in particular because of the possibility that it provides of making the connection between the elementary coils 111 on the external surface of the magnetic inductor body 101 and not inside the magnetic inductor body 101 as is the case for the prior art. Thus, only the coupling of an internal magnetic inductor 100 is described in detail. Of course, on the basis of this document, a person skilled in the art is perfectly capable of applying this teaching described for an internal magnetic inductor 100 to an external magnetic inductor 200 without having to demonstrate any inventive step.

[0108] Such a coupling is illustrated in FIG. 4A and schematised in FIG. 4B.

[0109] Thus, it can be seen in these FIGS. 4A and 4B that for each of the phases P1, P2, P3 of the polyphase current, the magnetic inductor 100 includes N pairs 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N of elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . , N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, of the same winding direction following one another from the first pair 110.sub.1, 120.sub.1, 130.sub.1 to the N.sup.th pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N along the magnetic body 101, N being an integer greater than or equal to 2. Each of the pairs 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N comprises a first and a second elementary coil 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N which follow one another along the magnetic inductor body 101. Each elementary coil 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N includes two ends I, O, namely an input type end I and an output type end O.

[0110] Of course, in accordance with the operating principle of a coil, the differentiation between the input end I and the output end O is purely artificial. Indeed, the substitution of one by the other is equivalent to a simple reversal of the winding direction of said coil. Thus, the connections which are described above are valid regardless of the choice between the input I and the output O, to the extent that said convention is identical to all the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N of the magnetic inductor 100.

[0111] The pairs 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N of elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N are distributed along the magnetic inductor body 101 so as to provide a phase alternation P1, P2, P3 and provide a magnetic field sliding along the magnetic inductor body 101.

[0112] The connection between the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N associated with the same phase of the first, the second and the third phase P1, P2, P3 is described below.

[0113] Thus, for a given phase P1, P2, P3, the first and the second elementary coil 111.sub.1, 112.sub.1, 121.sub.1, 122.sub.1, 131.sub.1, 132.sub.1 of the first pair 110.sub.1, 120.sub.1, 130.sub.1 are respectively connected to one of the current input and the current output of said phase P1, P2, P3 and to the other of the current input and the current output of said phase P1, P2, P3. Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 4B, for the first and the third phase P1, P3, the first elementary coil 111.sub.1, 131.sub.1 has its input I connected to the current input of said phase P1, P3 while the second elementary coil 112.sub.1, 132.sub.1 has its output connected to the current output of said phase P1, P3. For the second phase P2, the first elementary coil 121.sub.1 has its input I connected to the current output of said phase P2 while the second elementary coil 122.sub.1 has its output connected to the current input of said phase P2.

[0114] For this same given phase P1, P2, P3, and for each of the first to the N−1.sup.st pair 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 associated with said phase P1, P2, P3, the first elementary coil 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 has one of the ends I, O thereof connected to the end of the same type of the first elementary coil 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 which directly follows it along the magnetic inductor body 101. Similarly, for each of the second to N.sup.th pair 110.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 120.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 130.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N associated with said phase P1, P2, P3, the second elementary coil 112.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N has one of the ends I, O thereof connected to the end of the same type of the second elementary coil 112.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.2, . . . ,N-1,N which directly precedes it along the magnetic inductor body 101.

[0115] Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 4B, for all the phases P1, P2, P3, the first elementary coil 111, 121.sub.1, 131.sub.1 of the first pair 110.sub.1, 120.sub.1, 130.sub.1 has its output O connected to the output O of the first elementary coil 111.sub.2, 121.sub.2, 131.sub.2 of the second pair 110.sub.2, 120.sub.2, 130.sub.2. This same first elementary coil 111.sub.2, 121.sub.2, 131.sub.2 of the second pair 111.sub.2, 121.sub.2, 131.sub.2 has in turn its input I connected to the input I of the first elementary coil of the third pair, which is not referenced. For these same phases P1, P2, P3, the second elementary coil 112.sub.N, 122.sub.N, 132.sub.N of the last pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N has its input I connected to the input I of the second elementary coil 112.sub.N-1, 122.sub.N-1, 132.sub.N-1 of the penultimate pair 110.sub.N-1, 120.sub.N-1, 130.sub.N-1. This same second elementary coil 112.sub.N-1, 122.sub.N-1, 132.sub.N-1 of said phase P1, P2, P3 has its output O connected to the output O of the second coil, which is not referenced, of the pair N-2, which is not referenced.

[0116] For each of the first to the third phase P1, P2, P3, the first and second elementary coils 111.sub.N, 112.sub.N, 121.sub.N, 122.sub.N, 131.sub.N, 132.sub.N of the N.sup.th pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N are connected in series. Thus the first elementary coil 111.sub.N, 121.sub.N, 131.sub.N of the last pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N has its input I connected to the output O of the second elementary coil 112.sub.N, 122.sub.N, 132.sub.N of this same last pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N.

[0117] With such a coupling, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, the link between the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N is provided by means of a first and second type of conductors 118, 119.

[0118] The first type of conductor 118 allows connecting the elementary coils of two successive pairs, for example the outputs of the first elementary coils 111.sub.1, 111.sub.2, 121.sub.1, 121.sub.2, 131.sub.1, 131.sub.2 of the first and the second pair 110.sub.1, 110.sub.2, 120.sub.1, 120.sub.2, 130.sub.A, 130.sub.2. This first type of conductor 118 can be, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, in the form of a straight conductive bar. This first type of conductor 118 extends over a length corresponding to the distance between two elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, of two pairs 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, following one another. Such a length of a conductor 118 of the first type allows good tolerance to thermal expansion of the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N to be obtained, since the deformations related to such thermal expansion are distributed over the entire length of the conductor 118.

[0119] The second type of conductor 119 allows connecting the first and the second elementary coil 111.sub.N, 112.sub.N, 121.sub.N, 122.sub.N, 131.sub.N, 132.sub.N of the last pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N in series. In order to provide a good tolerance to the thermal expansion of the elementary coils, the second type of conductor 119 has, as illustrated in FIGS. 4A, 4C: [0120] either a U-shape, for the conductors 119 corresponding to the second and third phase P2, P3, the two branches of the U extending parallel to the central axis 101 and the base of the U extending in a circular arc centred around the central axis 101 of the inductor body and the diameter of which is greater than the external diameter of the inductor body, [0121] or an M-shape, for the conductor 119 corresponding to the first phase P1, the four branches of the M parallel to the central axis 101 and being connected in pairs by a respective segment extending in a circular arc centred around the central axis 101 of the inductor body and the diameter of which is greater than the external diameter of the inductor body. Thus, with such U and M shapes, the second type of conductor 119 can extend along the external perimeter of the magnetic inductor body 101 without interfering with each other.

[0122] FIG. 4C illustrates the arrangement of the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N and the conductors 118, 119 connecting them along the magnetic inductor body 101. It can thus be seen in this figure that each of the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N is disposed in a lateral groove 102 corresponding to the magnetic inductor body 101.

[0123] Particularly, FIG. 6A is a close-up sectional schematic view showing the installation of an elementary coil 111 disposed in a lateral groove 102 of the magnetic inductor body 101. In this figure, it can be seen that the elementary coil 111 consists of 10 turns S distributed in two columns of 5 turns S. The turns of the first column are connected to the turns S of the second column by the respective innermost turn D, that is to say the closest turn to the central axis 301 of the magnetic inductor body 101. In order to insulate the turns S from one another, a dielectric coating the conductive material constituting each of the turns S is provided. An additional dielectric layer can also be provided on the walls of the lateral groove 102 in order to electrically insulate the elementary coil 111 from the magnetic inductor body 101. The two outer turns S, that is to say the one furthest from the central axis 301 of the magnetic inductor body 101, of the elementary coil 111 includes the input and output ends I, O, these input and output having been artificially put on the same plane in order to make them both appear.

[0124] It can be seen in FIG. 6B that the input I and the output O of each of the elementary coils are disposed at an angle α of 100 relative to one another. Of course, such an angle is given as an example and other α are perfectly possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Particularly, it is possible that the angle α between the input and output ends I, O, can be less than 90° C. and preferably comprised between 50° and 70°, this same angle α being advantageously substantially equal to 60°.

[0125] As illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4C, two elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 of the same pair 110.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 120.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 130.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, except those 111.sub.N, 112.sub.N, 121.sub.N, 122.sub.N, 131.sub.N, 132.sub.N of each N.sup.th pair 110.sub.N, 120.sub.N, 130.sub.N, have their inputs I offset from one another at an angle substantially equal to 20°. In the same way: [0126] the elementary coils 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 of the second phase P2 are offset at an angle substantially equal to 20° from the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, of the first phase P1, and [0127] the elementary coils 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 of the third phase P3 are offset at an angle substantially equal to 20° from the elementary coils 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1 of the second phase P2.

[0128] With such a conformation, the conductors 118 of the first type allowing to connect two elementary coils 111 of two pairs of the same phase which follow one another without risk of interference with another conductor 118 whether it is that of the corresponding phase or that of another phase.

[0129] Regarding the elementary coils of the N.sup.th pair, the respective angles between the first and second elementary coils of each of the pairs are as follows: [0130] for the first phase P1, the angle between the first and the second elementary coil 111.sub.N, 112.sub.N of the N.sup.th pair 110.sub.N is 130°, [0131] for the second phase P2, the angle between the first and the second elementary coil 121.sub.N, 122.sub.N of the N.sup.th pair 120.sub.N is 80°, [0132] for the third phase P2, the angle between the first and the second elementary coil 131.sub.N, 132.sub.N of the N.sup.th pair 130.sub.N is 150°.

[0133] Of course, all these angles are given as an example and correspond to the shapes of the conductors 119 of the second type as illustrated on FIGS. 5A to 5C.

[0141] FIG. 6 illustrates a sectional view of a magnetic inductor 100 according to a second embodiment of the invention wherein the magnetic inductor body 101 includes magnetic plates 103 called “involute of a circle” magnetic plates. Such a magnetic plate 103 extends along a main axis, the central axis 301 of the magnetic inductor body 101 and has a cross section in the shape of an involute of a circle.

[0142] A magnetic inductor body 101 including such magnetic plates 103 “in the shape of an involute of a circle” can be formed by a manufacturing method including the following steps: [0143] providing the plurality of identical magnetic plates 103, each of the magnetic plates 130 extending along a main axis 301 and having a cross section in the shape of an involute of a circle, [0144] adding on a plurality of magnetic plates 103 non-stick and dielectric coatings this is in order to facilitate the interlocking and allow, [0145] assembling the plurality of magnetic plates 103 by interlocking in order to form an axial tubular body, the circle of the involute of a circle of the magnetic plate 103 being merged together, [0146] cutting the transverse grooves 102 in a longitudinal surface of the tubular body of an internal longitudinal surface and an external longitudinal surface in order to form a housing for the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, [0147] providing the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, [0148] placing the elementary coils 111.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.1,2, . . . ,N-1,N in the transverse grooves 102 formed during the cutting step, and thus forming the magnetic inductor 101.

[0149] It can be noted that in a usual implementation of the invention, the steps of providing and placing the elementary coils are concomitant since the provision step consists in assembling the elementary coils directly into the corresponding transverse grooves.

[0150] Of course, if in the two embodiments described above the conductors 108, 119 used to connect the elementary coils 111.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 112.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 121.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 122.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 131.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N, 132.sub.,2, . . . ,N-1,N are distributed along the magnetic inductor body bearing on the external surface other configurations are also possible without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0151] Thus, for example, it is perfectly possible that the magnetic inductor body is provided with longitudinal grooves to house the conductors or else that the conductors are housed inside the magnetic inductor body.
