Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DC motor technology, and in particular to a DC motor with an external drive structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most DC motors used in ice makers are built-in drive motors. However, built-in drive motors with external rotors present the following problems in existing production processes:
[0003] a. The excessive temperature rise of the drive motor is mainly due to the heat generated by the electronic components on the drive board, which is conducted to the motor housing, resulting in an excessively high overall motor temperature;
[0004] b. The driver board may remain on the production line for too many processes, which may lead to damage to the electronic components on the board;
[0005] c. Because the repair cost of the driver board is relatively high, malfunctions during production will greatly increase the repair cost;
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a DC motor with an external drive structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
