[0027] Referring to Figs. 1-3 A motor, mainly used in a range hood, as a driving power of a fan of the range hood.

[0028] The motor comprises a first end cover 1, a second end cover 2, a rotating shaft 3, a stator core 4, a first winding 51, a first rotor 52, a second winding 61, a second rotor 62 and an inner machine shell 7, the stator core 4, the first winding 51, the first rotor 52, the second winding 61, the second rotor 62 and the inner machine shell 7 are arranged in a containing space formed by the first end cover 1 and the second end cover 2, and the rotating shaft 3 extends from the containing space to the outside of the containing space.

[0029] The first end cover 1 is an integral structure, comprising a first end plate 11 in a substantially circular shape, a first peripheral wall 12 formed on the periphery of the first end plate 11, and a first skirt 13 formed on the periphery of the first peripheral wall 12, the first skirt 13 being located at the end of the first peripheral wall 12 away from the first end plate 11 and extending radially outward from the end of the first peripheral wall 12. The second end cover 2 is also an integral structure, comprising a second end plate 21 in a substantially circular shape, a second peripheral wall 22 formed on the periphery of the second end plate 21, and a second skirt 23 formed on the periphery of the second peripheral wall 22, the second skirt 23 being located at the end of the second peripheral wall 22 away from the second end plate 21 and extending radially outward from the end of the second peripheral wall 22. The first end plate 11 and the second end plate 21 are arranged at intervals, the first peripheral wall 12 and the second peripheral wall 22 extend towards each other and have the same radial dimension, and the first skirt 13 and the second skirt 23 are in abutment, thereby forming a space for accommodating other components of the motor between the first end plate 11, the first peripheral wall 12, the second end plate 21 and the second peripheral wall 22. The two skirts in abutment are used for external mounting, such as fixing with the volute of the fan. Thus, the first end cover 1 and the second end cover 2 form the outer shell of the motor.

[0030] A through hole 111 is formed in the middle of the first end plate 11 for the one end of the rotating shaft 3 to pass through. The other end of the rotating shaft 3 abuts against the inner side of the second end plate 21. The rotating shaft 3 is provided with a first bearing 31 at the position where it cooperates with the first end plate 11, and a second bearing 32 at the position where it cooperates with the second end plate 21, so that the rotating shaft 3 can stably rotate relative to the two end covers. The first bearing 31 is located on the inner side of the first end plate 11, and the second bearing 32 is located on the inner side of the second end plate 21, the inner side being the side facing the accommodating space.

[0031] The stator core 4 is in a substantially hollow cylindrical shape, and the first winding 51 has multiple groups and is fixedly installed inside the stator core 4, which can be achieved by forming multiple holes for accommodating the first winding 51 on the stator core 4 in the circumferential direction. The first rotor 52 comprises a first rotor disc 521 and first magnetic steel 522, the first rotor disc 521 is in a substantially hollow cylindrical shape, and the first magnetic steel 522 is fixedly installed inside the first rotor disc 521, which can also be achieved by forming multiple holes for accommodating the first magnetic steel 522 on the first rotor disc 521 in the circumferential direction. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the middle of the first rotor disc 521, the inner diameter of the first rotor disc 521 is adapted to the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 3, and the two are fixed. The stator core 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rotor disc 521, the outer diameter of the first rotor disc 521 is adapted to the inner diameter of the stator core 4, and there can only be a movement gap between the two. The inner motor shell 7 is in a hollow cylindrical shape, the outer periphery of the stator core 4 can be in abutment and fixed with the inner wall of the inner motor shell 7, and the inner motor shell 7 can be in abutment and fixed with the first peripheral wall 12 and the second peripheral wall 22.

[0032] Thus, the stator core 4, the first winding 51, and the first rotor 52 constitute the first motor sub-module, similar to the existing conventional internal rotor radial flux motor module.

[0033] The second winding 61 and the second rotor 62 constitute a second motor submodule. There are two of these submodules, respectively arranged on both axial sides of the stator core 4. Stepped portions 71 are formed on the inner sides of both axial ends of the inner housing 7. The second winding 61 is a PCB winding, including a disc-shaped or annular PCB board 611 and a printed winding 612 printed on the PCB board 611. The printed winding 612 is located on the side of the PCB board 611 away from the stator core 4. The periphery of the PCB board 611 can abut against the stepped portions 71 for axial positioning and is fixed to the inner housing 7. One second winding 61 is close to the first end plate 11 of the first end cover 1, and the other second winding 61 is close to the second end plate 21 of the second end cover 2. Each second winding 61 generates axial magnetic flux (the axial direction is the same as the extension direction of the shaft 3, i.e., the axial direction of the motor, such as...). Fig. 3 The vertical direction shown is the radial direction centered on the shaft 3 on a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the shaft 3 (the magnetic flux direction is determined by the winding direction of the winding coil). The second rotor 62 is an outer rotor, located on the side of the second winding 61 away from the stator core 4. The second rotor 62 includes a disc-shaped second rotor disk 621 and a second magnet 622 located on the side of the second rotor disk 621 facing the second winding 61. The axial magnetic flux generated by the second winding 61 interacts with the second magnet 622 of the second rotor 62. Each second motor submodule is an axial flux motor module (also in the form of a disc motor module), thereby increasing motor power and minimizing the overall height of the motor. The aforementioned shaft 3 passes through the two second rotors 62 respectively, and each rotor is fixed to the shaft 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the disc motor generates magnetic flux directly through the printed windings 612 on the PCB board 611, which interacts with the second magnets 622 of the corresponding second rotor 62 to generate rotation. Therefore, it can be made very thin without significantly changing the size of the original motor.

[0035] This composite three-rotor motor, consisting of one radial flux motor module and two axial flux motor modules, can be synchronously controlled and move synchronously, or independently controlled and move synchronously, through certain control logic, achieving more precise motion control. Externally, through the assembly of front and rear end covers, it remains an internal rotor motor, providing excellent protection for the internal components. In terms of motor performance, it is equivalent to three motors working together, increasing power density and achieving improved performance.
