[0032] Furthermore, the hollow structure on rotor unit 3 has a circular cross-section, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the output shaft in the motor assembly.
[0033] Furthermore, the hollow structure is not limited to a circle; it can also be an ellipse, an arch, a square, a trapezoid, or other shapes.
