[0002] During operation, cars need to dissipate heat from their components, especially the engine. The electric fan is an important part of the car's cooling system. The electric fan is driven by a motor, and it runs continuously as the engine runs. An excellent electric fan motor should be efficient, low-noise, and energy-saving to meet the stringent requirements of modern cars for their cooling systems.
[0003] Currently, the electric fan motors on the market are mainly brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors. Whether it is a brushed DC motor or a brushless DC motor, they are all driven by permanent magnets in conjunction with a rotor with coils. However, the main working environment of the heat dissipation equipment is the high-temperature area inside the car. Affected by the high temperature, the permanent magnets in the motor are prone to demagnetization and other phenomena, which will lead to a decrease in the power of the motor or even failure to rotate normally.
