[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Embodiment 1:

[0025] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, this embodiment provides an outer rotor motor, including a motor 100 and a controller 200, where: The controller 200 includes a control box 201 and a circuit board 202; The motor 100 includes a rotating shaft 1, a stator assembly 2, an outer rotor 3, and a sleeve seat 4. The stator assembly 2 includes a stator core 21, end insulation 22, and a coil winding 23. A plurality of wiring terminals 24 are installed on the end insulation 22, and the wiring terminals 24 are electrically connected to the coil winding 23. The sleeve seat 4 includes a bottom plate 41 and a sleeve 42 protruding upward from the middle of the bottom plate 41. Bearing chambers 421 are provided at both ends of the sleeve 42. The control box 201 is installed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 41. A plurality of terminal holes 411 are provided on the bottom plate 41. The ends of the wiring terminals 24 extend out from the terminal holes 411 of the bottom plate 41 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 202 of the controller 200. The outer rotor 3 is sleeved outside the stator assembly 2; The feature is that: A first sleeve housing 412 extends downward from the outer edge of the bottom surface of the bottom plate 41. The control box 201 is installed at the bottom of the first sleeve housing 412. A sealing groove 413 is provided on the bottom end surface of the first sleeve housing 412. A special-shaped sealing ring 414 is installed in the sealing groove 413. The special-shaped sealing ring 414 includes a ring body 414a and a plurality of convex portions 414b provided on the outer surface of the ring body 414a. When the control box 201 and the first sleeve housing 412 are installed, the convex portions 414b of the special-shaped sealing ring 414 are squeezed and deformed. The special-shaped sealing ring does not need to consider the direction problem during the assembly process. The special-shaped sealing ring can avoid the problem of sealing failure caused by the processing eccentricity of the sealing groove, and has a good sealing effect.

[0026] The number of the above-mentioned plurality of convex portions 414b is 4, and they are arranged symmetrically in pairs on the outer surface of the ring body 414a. The cross-section of the special-shaped sealing ring is "convex". After the sealing cover is installed, the controller is end-sealed. The sealing is mainly done by the protruding position of the special-shaped sealing ring, which can avoid the problem of sealing failure caused by the processing eccentricity of the conventional sealing groove.

[0027] The above also includes several connector pads 5, which correspond to several terminal holes 411. A groove 410 is provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 41 at the edge of the terminal hole 411. Each connector pad 5 includes a pad 51 and a boss 52 protruding from one end face of the pad 51. A through hole 50 is provided in the middle of the connector pad 5, passing through the pad 51 and the boss 52. When the connector pad 5 is installed on the base plate, the pad 51 is embedded in the groove, and the boss 52 is embedded in the terminal hole 411. The terminal 24 extends through the through hole 50 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 202 of the controller 200. Since the circuit board needs to be inserted onto multiple connectors simultaneously during assembly, the positional accuracy of the terminals is critical. Connector pads are needed to fix the position of the terminals for easy installation. With the help of sealant, the gaps between the connector pads, sleeve seats, and terminals can be filled to achieve a sealing effect.

[0028] The outer diameter of the through hole 50 is larger than the outer diameter of the terminal 24, forming a clearance fit and a reasonable structural arrangement.

[0029] The bottom surface of the aforementioned base plate 41 protrudes an annular flange 415 around the opening 4210 of the bearing chamber 421. The first sleeve housing 412, the base plate 41, and the annular flange 415 form a receiving groove 416. Several terminal holes 411 on the base plate 41 are located between the first sleeve housing 412 and the annular flange 415. The circuit board 202 is installed in the receiving groove 416, and the receiving groove 416 is filled with potting compound for encapsulating the circuit board 202. This structure is reasonably arranged and simple. By adding the receiving groove, the circuit board can not only be moisture-proof and waterproof, but also effectively prevent collisions and meet the protection needs of customers.

[0030] A number of heat dissipation ribs 417 are provided between the outer surface of the first sleeve shell 412 and the top surface of the base plate 41 to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0031] The first sleeve outer shell 412 is provided with a wire outlet hole 412a, and a locking device 412b is installed on the wire outlet hole 412a. The structure is reasonably arranged and it is convenient to fix the lead wire.

[0032] The circuit board 202 mentioned above integrates several capacitors 202a, and the control box 201 is equipped with several

[0033] The clearance groove 201a, which prevents installation interference with the capacitor component 202a, has a reasonable structural arrangement.

[0034] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model are equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
