[0023] The four coil windings are evenly arranged at 90 degrees and fixed in the stator assembly group 21. The copper windings of the coil group 23 and the inlet and outlet wire ends are respectively welded on the pin terminals, and the pins are welded together with the PCB board 22. Each coil group 23 is connected in series with the opposite coil group 23 through the PCB board, and two by two form a loop to form excitation.

[0024] Furthermore, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the stator assembly group 21 is installed inside the lower shell 11, and a PCB board 22 is connected to the surface of the stator assembly group 21, the PCB board 22 is welded to the pins of the stator assembly group 21, and a PIN terminal group 221 is installed at one end of the PCB board 22, four coil groups 23 are installed inside the stator assembly group 21, and a rotor group 24 is installed at the center of the stator assembly group 21.
