Brushless DC motor with mold cover for ground protection

Abstract

The brushless DC motor according to the present invention, comprises: a housing 10 comprising a stator 15 in the inside, and having a hollow part 11 in which a rotor 20 coupled to a shaft 21 is positioned in the middle part; an upper bearing 22 coupled to an output side of the shaft 21 to rotatably support the shaft; an upper bearing cover 31 accommodating the upper bearing 22 and covering the hollow part 11; a lower bearing 23 coupled to a lower end of the shaft 21 to rotatably support the shaft; a lower bearing holder 32 accommodating the lower bearing 23 and coupled to a middle protrusion 14 protruding from the middle of a lower part of the housing 10; a first grounding member 50 having an upper end part 50a bendingly coupled to an outer part of the upper bearing cover 31, and a lower end part 50b coupled to a middle part of the lower bearing holder 32, so as to make the upper bearing cover 31 and the lower bearing holder 32 electrically equipotential; and a mold cover 42 covering alower part of the middle protrusion 14 and part of the first grounding member 50 together.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a grounding structure of an electric machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a motor with a grounding structure, by improving the grounding structure, the electrolytic corrosion of bearings is more effectively prevented, and by using a molded end cover, the grounding member is protected, the performance and durability are improved, and the vibration is small , Low noise characteristics. Background technique [0002] Generally, an electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor rotates under the influence of the magnetic field created by the stator. The shaft coupled to and rotating with the rotor has bearings to support the rotation of the shaft mounted above and below the rotor. [0003] Typically, such motors are controlled by drive circuits. When the drive circuit is running, the potential difference between the upper and lower bearings, or the axial current due to another cause, causes ele...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, an effective ground connection is made between the upper and lower bearing caps, but since it has a structure that inserts the bearings outside the upper and lower bearing caps, the two bearings are easily exposed on the outside

In particular, due to the structure in which one end of the metal member for grounding is slightly in contact with the lower bearing cap, the grounding member is likely to be isolated, and therefore there may be a problem that the electrolytic corrosion of the bearing cannot be effectively prevented
