## Abstract

A canned motor device includes a base, a fixed seat, a motor unit, a motor cover and a main cover. The base is formed in a shape of a hollow cylinder that surrounds an axis, and defines an accommodating space in which the fixed seat is disposed. The motor unit includes a stator, a rotor and an impeller. The motor cover is disposed on the base and covers the impeller. The main cover is located at one side of the base opposite to the motor cover along the axis, and has an inner surface, an annular protrusion that protrudes from the inner surface and that has an annular end surface, and an inner heat-dissipating space that is defined by the inner surface and the annular protrusion and that is adjacent to the stator.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A canned motor device comprising:
a base formed in a shape of a hollow cylinder that surrounds an axis, and defining an accommodating space;
a fixed seat formed in a shape of a hollow cylinder that surrounds the axis, and disposed in said accommodating space;
a motor unit including
a case body that is disposed on said base,
a stator that is sleeved on said case body and that is surrounded by said fixed seat,
a rotor that is disposed in said case body, and
an impeller that is connected to said rotor;
a motor cover disposed on said base and covering said impeller; and
a main cover located at one side of said base opposite to said motor cover along the axis, and having
an inner surface that abuts against said base,
an annular protrusion that protrudes from said inner surface, and that has an annular end surface spaced apart from said inner surface and airtightly abutting against said fixed seat, and
an inner heat-dissipating space that is defined by said inner surface and said annular protrusion, and that is adjacent to said stator of said motor unit;
wherein said annular protrusion of said main cover further has
an inner annular surface interconnecting said annular end surface and said inner surface of said main cover, and adjacent to said inner heat-dissipating space of said main cover, and
an outer annular surface opposite to said inner annular surface, and interconnecting said annular end surface and said inner surface; and
wherein said main cover further has
an outer heat-dissipating space defined by said inner surface and said annular protrusion, and adjacent to said outer annular surface of said annular protrusion, and
a plurality of cover protrusions each of which protrudes from said outer annular surface and is connected to said inner surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The canned motor device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover protrusions are angularly spaced apart from each other about the axis and extend radially about the axis.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The canned motor device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a leak-proof member that is airtightly clamped between said fixed seat and said annular end surface of said annular protrusion of said main cover.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The canned motor device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a leak-proof member that is airtightly clamped between said fixed seat and said annular end surface of said annular protrusion of said main cover.
