[0053] Example 1

[0054] As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses an external rotor brushless motor to reduce the probability of rainwater contacting the stator assembly 3 and control circuit board 21. It mainly includes a mounting platform 1, a power transmission assembly (not marked in the figure), a stator assembly 3, an external rotor assembly 4, a bearing 5, and a sealing sleeve 6. In use, the power transmission assembly is first connected to an external power source, allowing the control circuit board 21 to receive normal operating current. Simultaneously, an external driver (not shown in the figure) sends a corresponding speed signal to the control circuit board 21 to drive the drone's propellers to rotate. Then, the control circuit board 21 transmits brushless DC power to the coil winding 32 in the stator assembly 3. At this time, the coil winding 32 receives current support and continuously generates a magnetic field, which repels the magnetic ring 43 in the external rotor assembly 4. Subsequently, the stator assembly 3 and the external rotor assembly 4 will rotate relative to each other, while the stator assembly 3 is fixedly mounted on the control circuit board 21. On the circuit board 21, the control circuit board 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 1; therefore, the magnetic ring 43 will rotate around the stator assembly 3, and the overall structure of the outer rotor assembly 4 will rotate. Of course, the rotating shaft 44 in the outer rotor assembly 4 will also rotate; during this process, the rotating shaft 44 can drive the propeller to rotate, allowing the drone to fly into the sky; in addition, when the drone performs a mission in the rain, the sealing sleeve 6 set around the outer circumference of the stator assembly 3 and the control circuit board 21 can reduce the probability of rainwater coming into contact with the stator assembly 3 and the control circuit board 21, thereby increasing the chance of the drone returning normally in the rain to a certain extent.

Compared with the prior art, this invention reduces the impact of external rainwater on the stator assembly and control circuit board, and to a certain extent increases the probability of the drone returning to base normally in rainy weather. Therefore, it has high practicality.

[0056] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the power transmission component mainly includes a control circuit board 21 and a power interface 22; wherein, the control circuit board 21 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting platform 1; normally, the control circuit board 21 is electrically connected to a power interface 22, and the terminals of the power interface 22 extend to the outside of the control circuit board 21 and pass through the sealing sleeve 6. This design facilitates connection to an external power supply terminal, thereby supplying power to the entire circuit of this embodiment.

For example, by using a USB cable to connect this embodiment to an oscilloscope, adjusting the test parameters of the oscilloscope, the performance of this embodiment can be judged based on the results displayed by the oscilloscope.

[0058] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the stator assembly 3 mainly includes an iron core 31 and a coil winding 32; wherein, the iron core 31 is disposed at the top of the control circuit board 21, and a plurality of salient pole stators (not marked in the figure) are disposed in the iron core 31, and a cylindrical object (not marked in the figure) is formed on the top of the plurality of salient pole stators at the top of the control circuit board 21; normally, a recess (not shown in the figure) is formed on each salient pole stator; the coil winding 32 is wound around the recess, and the coil winding 32 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 21; in addition, part of the outer peripheral surface of the aforementioned rotating shaft 44 is surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical object.

[0059] Furthermore, the coil winding 32 can be a three-phase winding structure, which makes the coil winding 32 have the characteristics of smooth operation and high efficiency.

[0060] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the outer rotor assembly 4 mainly includes a housing 41, a magnetic ring 43, and a rotating shaft 44; wherein, the upper side of the housing 41 is open, and the interior of the housing 41 has a mounting cavity 42; the housing 41 is fitted onto the outer wall of the stator assembly 3, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown; a rotating shaft 44 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 42, and a magnetic ring 43 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting cavity 42.

[0061] Furthermore, the magnetic ring 43 is made of neodymium iron boron, which gives the magnetic ring 43 the characteristics of high magnetic performance and the ability to achieve small size and lightweight.

[0062] Furthermore, the control circuit board 21 can be a PCB board; wherein, the PCB board has the characteristics of small size, high efficiency and low production cost.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses an external rotor brushless motor to enhance the working performance of the aforementioned embodiment 1. In addition to the components in the aforementioned embodiment 1, it also includes a partition cylinder 33 and a protrusion 45. The partition cylinder 33 is disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the aforementioned cylindrical object. When the magnetic field generated by the stator assembly 3 is unstable, causing the rotating shaft 44 to wobble and rotate, the partition cylinder 33 can prevent the rotating shaft 44 from damaging the iron core 31. (See attached...) Figure 2 and appendix Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 45 is disposed inside the mounting cavity 42 of the housing 41. In conjunction with the aforementioned partition 33, it can reduce the degree of wear between the mounting cavity 42 and the stator assembly 3.

[0065] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the partition cylinder 33 has a groove 34 facing the top of the housing 41. The aforementioned rotating shaft 44 passes through the top of the partition cylinder 33, and there is a circular protrusion (not marked in the figure) near the inner hole of the partition cylinder 33 in the groove 34. In addition, the inner diameter of the partition cylinder 33 is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 44. As shown in the attached figure... Figure 3As shown, the aforementioned protrusion 45 is generally disposed in the middle of the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 42. The top end of the protrusion 45 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 44. A recess 46 is provided on the top end of the protrusion 45 near its outer side. The recess 46 is adapted to the partition cylinder 33. The recess 46 divides the protrusion 45 into a first part and a second part. The diameter of the first part of the protrusion 45 is equal to the inner diameter of the partition cylinder 33. The height of the second part of the protrusion 45 is greater than the depth of the aforementioned groove 34. The diameter of the rotating shaft 44 is smaller than the diameter of the first part of the protrusion 45. In use, the top end of the rotating shaft 44 is passed through the inner hole of the partition cylinder 33, and the first part of the protrusion 45 is also inserted into the inner hole of the partition cylinder 33; then, the recessed part 46 of the protrusion 45 completely covers the protrusion on the partition cylinder 33, and the end face of the second part of the protrusion 45 is in close contact with the groove 34 of the partition cylinder 33; at this time, there is a certain distance between the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 42 and the coil winding 32. This design can reduce the wear between the outer rotor assembly 4 and the stator assembly 3 and extend the service life of this embodiment.

[0066] This embodiment takes into account one situation, and the specific solution is as follows: A voltage regulator module (not shown in the figure) is integrated in the PCB board. The PCB board can provide a stable current to the coil winding 32, so that the coil winding 32 can provide a stable magnetic field, which can prevent the rotating shaft 44 from shaking during rotation.

[0067] In addition, the outer wall surface of the iron core 31 is arc-shaped, and the outer wall surfaces of the two adjacent salient pole stators have rounded corners. This ensures that the iron core 31 experiences minimal wear during the assembly and disassembly of this embodiment.
