Novel electromagnetic coupling jet apparatus

Abstract

A massage jet pump may include a motor to rotate a first shaft, a first magnetic pole array may be adapted to be rotated by the first shaft, a second magnetic pole array may be magnetically coupled to the first magnetic pole array and may rotate in accordance with the first magnetic pole array, an impeller may pump the fluid in accordance with the rotation of the second magnetic pole array. The pump may include a mounting housing for pump mounting and prevent water leaking to the motor, a jet assembly to pump the water into dual jet streams, and an electronic sensor circuit to detect the presence of the jet assembly and shut down the motor when the jet assembly is removed from the pump or water level in the basin is low. The jet assembly may include a back cover, a fixed shaft, an impeller, a second magnet plate, and a front cover. The front cover of the jet assembly includes two output ports which guide the water jet streams in parallel or 45 degrees with respect to the axis of the fixed shaft. The jet assembly circulates the water by adapting the centrifugal concept.
