Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a housing structure for an external rotor DD motor of a washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] DD (Direct Drive) motors are power devices that do not require speed regulation transmission structures, thus saving space. When installed in a washing machine, larger washing tubs can be accommodated, achieving better washing efficiency. External rotor motors have a rotor structure on the outside, with a large moment of inertia, making them suitable for larger load washing tubs. Therefore, DD motors for washing machines with large loads and large washing capacities require a good structural fixing device to achieve stable operation, thus requiring improvements to the motor housing structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a housing structure for an external rotor DD motor of a washing machine.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: The DD motor housing includes a base shell, a rotor shell, and a connecting frame. The base shell is formed with a stator mounting seat and a connecting plate. The rear part of the connecting plate is a planar structure. The stator mounting seat is set on the connecting plate as a base. The stator is axially mounted on the stator mounting seat. The rotor shell is mated with the base shell. A permanent magnet rotor is set inside the rotor shell. An axial connecting seat is formed on the outer end face of the rotor shell. The connecting frame is axially mounted on the axial connecting seat. The connecting frame is axially connected to the washing tub. The connecting frame is rigidly connected to the rotor shell in the axial direction and forms the installation reference surface of the washing tub. The housing structure adopts a stable base shell structure, which serves as the installation base structure of the motor. It has a large installation contact area and can adapt to the stability requirements of high load operation. The rotor shell is part of the rotor and rotates as a whole, which can provide a large moment of inertia and provide the torque of the motor to meet the requirements of high load.
[0005] Furthermore, the housing is a one-piece molded base structure, with a rectangular mounting surface. The connecting plate has multiple mounting holes evenly arranged. The connecting plate is set on the base structure inside the washing machine and fixedly installed. Wire holes are provided on the side of the connecting plate, through which the motor's wires are connected to the stator windings on the stator mounting base. The housing has a large mounting contact surface, increasing the mounting base surface and improving stability. It also facilitates the threading and passage of motor wires and allows for the installation of circuit insulation protection structures, improving operational safety.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer circles of the stator mounting base of the rotor housing and the base housing are correspondingly formed. The front end face of the rotor housing is formed into a plane and is provided with axial connection holes. Multiple axial connection holes are distributed around the axis of the motor, serving as the basis for coaxial connection with the connecting plate. The rotor housing has multiple connection holes, forming a stable axial connection structure. The axial connection holes facilitate positioning and installation, and facilitate assembly.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting plate has a motor connection side that abuts against the rotor housing and a tub connection side that connects to the washing tub. The motor connection side and the tub connection side are integrally formed. The outer diameter of the tub connection side corresponds to the outer diameter of the connection port of the washing tub. The diameter of the motor connection side is smaller than the diameter of the tub connection side, forming an installation gap. The installation gap accommodates the rotation allowance of the end of the connecting screw. The tub connection side and the washing tub are connected by screws. During installation, the connecting screw needs to be passed through the tub connection side first. After the connecting plate is fixed, a base position for pre-connection with the washing tub is formed, with an installation gap to facilitate the installation of the connecting screw.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: This design is an improvement on the motor structure of a washing machine. It adopts the form of a DD direct drive external rotor motor, which can reduce the space occupied by the motor reduction structure, and allow for a larger washing tub structure. By using the external rotor motor, it can achieve the working requirements of high torque, improve the washing efficiency of the washing machine, and improve product quality.

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0013] A washing machine outer rotor DD motor housing structure is disclosed. The DD motor housing includes a base shell 1, a rotor shell 2, and a connecting frame 3. The base shell 1 is formed with a stator mounting seat 4 and a connecting plate 5. The rear part of the connecting plate 5 is a planar structure. The stator mounting seat 4 is set on the connecting plate 5 as a base. A stator is axially mounted on the stator mounting seat 4. The rotor shell 2 is matched with the base shell 1. A permanent magnet rotor is set inside the rotor shell 2. An axial connecting seat 6 is formed on the outer end face of the rotor shell 2. The connecting frame 3 is axially mounted on the axial connecting seat 6. The connecting frame 3 is axially connected to the washing tub. The connecting frame 3 is axially rigidly connected to the rotor shell 2 and forms the installation reference surface of the washing tub.
[0014] The housing 1 is an integrally formed base structure, which is formed into a rectangular mounting surface. The connecting plate 5 has multiple mounting holes 7 arranged in a balanced manner. The connecting plate 5 is set on the basic structure inside the washing machine and fixedly installed. A wire hole 8 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 5. The motor wire is connected to the stator winding on the stator mounting base 4 through the wire hole 8.
[0015] The rotor housing 2 is formed correspondingly to the outer circle of the stator mounting base 4 of the housing 1. The front end face of the rotor housing 2 is formed into a plane and is provided with an axial connection hole 9. Multiple axial connection holes 9 are distributed around the axis of the motor. The axial connection holes 9 serve as the basis for coaxial connection with the connecting plate 5.
[0016] The connecting plate 5 has a motor connecting side 10 that docks with the rotor housing 2 and a tub connecting side 11 that connects with the washing tub. The motor connecting side 10 and the tub connecting side 11 are integrally formed. The outer diameter of the tub connecting side 11 corresponds to the outer diameter of the connection port of the washing tub. The diameter of the motor connecting side 10 is smaller than the diameter of the tub connecting side 11, forming an installation gap. The installation gap accommodates the rotation allowance of the end of the connecting screw. The tub connecting side 11 and the washing tub are connected by screws.
