Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of external rotor motor equipment, specifically relating to an external rotor motor structure in which the circuit board is placed on the outside of the support, stator and rotor. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industry and daily life, external rotor motors are widely used in drones, ventilation equipment, power tools, and many other fields due to their advantages such as compact structure, high torque, and good heat dissipation. Currently, most external rotor motors employ a design that places the control board inside the motor. This design, to a certain extent, ensures the compactness and integration of the overall motor structure, reduces external environmental interference to the control board, and improves system stability. However, because the control board is installed inside the motor in a relatively confined space, the installation and disassembly process is extremely complex. Installation requires multiple steps of disassembly, which is cumbersome, consuming significant time and labor costs, and demanding a high level of technical skill from the operators. Furthermore, when the control board malfunctions, the built-in design greatly increases the difficulty of detection and replacement, leading to prolonged equipment downtime, impacting production efficiency and normal equipment operation, and causing significant inconvenience to users. At the same time, the frequent and complex disassembly and assembly process also reduces the motor's lifespan and increases equipment maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing an external rotor motor structure in which the circuit board is placed on the outside of the support, stator, and rotor.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An external rotor motor structure with a circuit board placed outside a support, stator, and rotor includes an inner stator and an external rotor rotatably sleeved around the inner stator. One end of the external rotor is closed, and the other end is open. A rotating shaft is rotatably inserted through the center of the inner stator. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the closed end of the external rotor, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends through the open end of the external rotor to form an output end. A support body is provided outside the open end of the external rotor and is fixedly connected to the inner stator via a support fixing structure. A circuit board body is mounted on the side of the support body away from the external rotor via a circuit board mounting structure. The output end of the rotating shaft passes through the support body and the circuit board body sequentially and extends to the side of the support body away from the external rotor. The support fixing structure facilitates the fixed installation of one end of the support body inside the inner stator, improving the connection stability between the support body and the inner stator. The circuit board mounting structure facilitates the fixed connection between the circuit board body and the support body, improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the circuit board body and ensuring the installation stability of the circuit board body.
[0005] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed outside the support, stator, and rotor, the external rotor is cylindrical and the inner stator, external rotor, and shaft are coaxially arranged. This improves structural compactness, ensures uniform magnetic circuit, increases motor output efficiency, reduces motor loss and heat generation, extends motor lifespan, and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the external rotor, inner stator, and shaft.
[0006] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed outside the support, stator, and rotor, one end of the inner stator does not extend beyond the open end of the outer rotor, and one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the center of the closed end of the outer rotor. This ensures uniform magnetic field distribution, improves motor efficiency, and makes the inner stator and outer rotor more compact, reducing the overall space occupied by the motor and facilitating its installation.
[0007] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed outside the support, stator, and rotor, the support body includes a support cylinder. The rotating shaft passes through the support cylinder via a rotatable mounting structure. One end of the support cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner stator via the aforementioned support fixing structure. The other end of the support cylinder extends to the outside of the open end of the outer rotor, and the support cylinder has several support mounting plates extending radially outward along its circumferential outer side. The rotatable mounting structure facilitates the rotating shaft's rotation within the support cylinder, and the support cylinder facilitates its fixed mounting to the inner circumferential inner side of the inner stator via the support fixing structure, ensuring the connection stability between the support body and the inner stator. The circuit board is easily fixed onto the support body via the support mounting plates, improving the circuit board's installation efficiency.
[0008] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure in which the circuit board is placed outside the bracket, stator, and rotor, the bracket cylinder has an annular portion that is integrally connected to the bracket cylinder at one end of the open end of the external rotor. The bracket mounting plates are three in number and are uniformly circumferentially formed on the outside of the annular portion. The annular portion facilitates the installation and positioning of the bracket mounting plates and limits the circuit board. One side of the circuit board, which is sleeved on the bracket cylinder, abuts against the annular portion.
[0009] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed on the outside of the bracket, stator, and rotor, the bracket fixing structure includes a stator mounting hole located at the center of the inner stator. One end of the bracket cylinder is inserted into the stator mounting hole. The outer circumferential side of the bracket cylinder has at least one protruding rib extending axially along the bracket cylinder and abutting against the inner wall of the stator mounting hole. An installation limiting component is provided between the bracket cylinder and the inner stator. The stator mounting hole facilitates the positioning and insertion of the bracket cylinder, improving the installation efficiency of the bracket cylinder. The protruding rib allows the bracket cylinder to abut against the inner circumferential side of the inner stator, improving the insertion stability. The installation limiting component limits the inner stator, preventing it from extending beyond the open end and ensuring motor operating efficiency.
[0010] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed on the outside of the support, stator, and rotor, the installation limiting component includes several limiting protrusions arranged on the circumferential outer side of the support cylinder. One end of each limiting protrusion extends to one side of the annular portion, and the other end abuts against one end face of the inner stator. The limiting protrusions can limit the inner stator, effectively preventing the inner stator from exceeding the open end. Furthermore, the protrusion and the adjacent limiting protrusion are an integral structure, which can improve the structural strength and ensure the limiting connection effect.
[0011] In the aforementioned external rotor motor structure where the circuit board is placed on the outside of the bracket, stator, and rotor, the circuit board mounting structure includes a circuit board hole located at the center of the circuit board body. One end of the bracket cylinder is inserted into the circuit board hole. The bracket mounting plate has mounting portions on the side away from the external rotor that abut against one side of the circuit board body. Each mounting portion has a circuit board mounting hole penetrating the bracket mounting plate. The circuit board body has circuit board positioning holes corresponding to the circuit board mounting holes. The circuit board positioning holes are connected to the circuit board mounting holes by circuit board mounting bolts. The circuit board holes facilitate the circuit board body to be fitted onto the bracket cylinder, improving the positioning and installation efficiency of the circuit board body. Furthermore, the mounting portions, circuit board mounting bolts, and circuit board positioning holes enhance the connection stability between the circuit board body and the bracket mounting plate.

A support fixing structure 4 is provided on the outer side of the open end 22 of the outer rotor 2, which is connected to the inner stator. A fixedly connected bracket body 5 has a circuit board body 51 on the side of the bracket body 5 away from the outer rotor 2 via a circuit board mounting structure 6. The output end 31 of the rotating shaft 3 passes through the bracket body 5 and the circuit board body 51 in sequence and extends to the side of the bracket body 5 away from the outer rotor 2. The bracket fixing structure 4 makes it easy to fix one end of the bracket body 5 inside the inner stator 1, which can improve the connection stability between the bracket body 5 and the inner stator 1.

[0026] Specifically, the outer rotor 2 is cylindrical and the inner stator 1, outer rotor 2 and shaft 3 are coaxially arranged, which can improve the structural compactness, ensure the uniformity of the magnetic circuit, improve the motor output efficiency, reduce motor loss and heat generation, improve the service life of the motor, and facilitate the installation and maintenance of the outer rotor 2, inner stator 1 and shaft 3.
[0027] The inner stator 1 has one end that does not extend beyond the open end 22 of the outer rotor 2, and the shaft 3 has one end that is connected to the center of the closed end 21 of the outer rotor 2. This ensures a uniform magnetic field distribution, improves the motor's working efficiency, and makes the inner stator 1 and outer rotor 2 more compact, reducing the overall space occupied by the motor and facilitating its installation.

The bracket mounting plates 53 are three in number and are uniformly formed on the outside of the annular portion 521. The annular portion 521 facilitates the installation and positioning of the bracket mounting plates 53 and limits the circuit board 51. One side of the circuit board 51, which is sleeved on the bracket cylinder 52, abuts against the annular portion 521.

[0033] Specifically, the rotating mounting structure 7 includes bearings 71 respectively disposed on the inner circumferential sides of both ends of the support cylinder 52. Both ends of the rotating shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the bearings 71. The bearings 71 enable the rotating shaft 3 to be stably rotated inside the support cylinder 52, and can effectively reduce friction and improve the rotation efficiency of the rotating shaft 3.
