Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an improved structure of a motor for household appliances, in particular to an outer rotor brushless motor driven by a washing machine drum. Background Art
[0002] The motor in the washing machine is a power structure used to drive the drum. The rotation of the motor realizes the kneading, washing, and dehydration of the clothes in the drum. Conventional motors use inner rotor motors with the rotor on the inside of the motor. The driving ability for large loads is weak, especially when washing in winter, when the weight of clothes is generally heavy. The load of the motor is high for a long time, affecting the normal operation of the motor. Therefore, it is considered to use an outer rotor motor. The rotating part of the outer rotor motor is on the outside, and its rotational inertia is large, which can meet the requirements of large load work. In this way, the outer rotor motor is improved to make it suitable for operation in the working conditions of the washing machine. Utility Model Content

The stator end is a fixed structure, which is provided with a hollow frame for fixing, the hollow frame can be installed with a fixing part for fixing the motor, the rotor end has an output part, and a reliable driving structure is formed, which can effectively adapt to the installation space of the washing machine, and avoid the influence of the working vibration of the washing machine on the motor, and can achieve a large torque output, which is suitable for the operation of large drums and large capacity washing machines.
[0005] Furthermore, the hollow frame is integrally formed on the housing structure at the stator end, and the hollow frame is formed with a plurality of mounting holes open to the internal space of the motor, and fixing parts are installed in the mounting holes to fix the hollow frame to the motor fixing frame. The hollow frame has mounting holes, and the mounting holes can fix the fixing parts to the fixing frame from the inside of the motor, which can achieve short-distance fixing, facilitate direct drive of the motor in the washing machine structure, and improve the working efficiency of the drum.
[0006] Furthermore, the mounting holes are formed in multiple numbers at the corners of the housing at the stator end and are arranged circumferentially, and the supporting solid structure between the mounting holes forms the supporting part of the hollow frame. The mounting holes are arranged at the corners to increase the opening distance, facilitate installation, and form a supporting structure with strong installation stability.
[0007] Furthermore, a heat dissipation hole is formed on the rotor end, the heat dissipation hole is located on the outer diameter of the rotor end, and penetrates the housing part of the rotor end, and the air gap between the coil group and the permanent magnet is open to the heat dissipation hole. The function of the heat dissipation hole is to form an airflow between the rotor and the stator structure to achieve rapid cooling, which is suitable for the high-torque working state of the motor.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing groove is formed on the inner side of the housing of the rotor end, and the fixing groove is a wedge-shaped structure with a small inner distance and a large outer distance. The side edges of the permanent magnet are correspondingly formed into a relative oblique edge structure and are tightly fixed in the fixing groove. The fixing groove forms an inward locking and clamping function, and the permanent magnet is tightly clamped by the fixing groove to form a reliable structure, thereby avoiding loosening caused by the motor in a high-speed rotating working state and improving the reliability of the motor operation.
