Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The embodiment relates to a motor. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, in a motor, the rotor rotates due to the electromagnetic interaction between the rotor and the stator. At this time, the shaft connected to the rotor also rotates, generating a rotational driving force.

[0003] The rotor may include a rotor core and a magnet disposed on the outer surface of the rotor core. The rotor may also include a magnet holder that surrounds the rotor core and the magnet. The magnet holder may be a cylindrical can member made of a metal material.

[0004] The rotor core may include protrusions, and multiple magnets may be disposed between the protrusions. However, in order to insert the magnets, the circumferential width between the protrusions is designed to be wider than the circumferential width of the magnets, so there are gaps between the magnets and the protrusions in the circumferential direction. Because these gaps can change the spacing between the magnets in the circumferential direction, all magnets are pushed clockwise or counterclockwise to set the spacing between the magnets in the circumferential direction to a constant value.

[0005] To push all the magnets clockwise or counterclockwise, after attaching the magnet holder, the magnet holder is pushed clockwise or counterclockwise to align the magnets. However, there is a problem that the magnet holder often spins freely without pushing the magnets.

[0006] Also, once the magnet holder is installed, it is difficult to check whether the magnets are properly aligned because the magnets cannot be seen from the outside.

[0007] On the other hand, when the rotor rotates at high speed, slippage may occur between the rotor cores, which may cause unstable rotor operation and reduce motor performance.

[0008] Therefore, the present embodiment is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a motor that can align magnets and check the alignment of magnets while the magnet holder is attached, and that increases the slip torque between the contact surfaces of the rotor core to prevent the rotor core from slipping, thereby providing a motor with stable rotor operation.

[0009] The problems to be solved by the embodiments are not limited to those mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned here will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0053] The direction parallel to the length of the shaft (vertical direction) is the axial direction, the direction perpendicular to the axial direction around the shaft is the radial direction, and the direction along a circle with a radius in the radial direction around the shaft is the circumferential direction.

[0054] FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a motor according to an embodiment.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 1, the motor according to the embodiment may include a shaft 100 , a rotor 200 , a stator 300 and a housing 400 .

[0056] Hereinafter, "inside" refers to the direction from the housing 400 toward the shaft 100, which is the center of the motor, and "outside" refers to the opposite direction from the inside, which is the direction from the shaft 100 toward the housing 400.

[0057] The shaft 100 may be coupled to the rotor 200. When an electromagnetic interaction occurs between the rotor 200 and the stator 300 through the supply of current, the rotor 200 rotates, which in turn rotates the shaft 100. The shaft 100 may be a hollow member.

[0058] The rotor 200 rotates through electrical interaction with the stator 300. The rotor 200 may be disposed corresponding to or inside the stator 300. The rotor 200 may include a rotor core 210, a plurality of magnets 220 coupled to the rotor core 210, and a magnet holder 230 disposed outside the magnets 220. The magnet holder 230 may be a can member made of a metal material.

[0059] The stator 300 is disposed outside the rotor 200. The stator 300 may include a stator core 310, an insulator 320, and a coil 330. The insulator 320 is attached to the stator core 310. The coil 330 is attached to the insulator 320. The coil 330 induces electrical interaction with the magnet of the rotor 200.

[0060] The housing 400 may be disposed outside the stator 300. The housing 400 may be a cylindrical member with one side open.

[0061] FIG. 2 is an exploded view illustrating the rotor, and FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the rotor illustrated in FIG.

[0062] 2 and 3, the rotor 200 may include a rotor core 210, a plurality of magnets 220 disposed on the outside of the rotor core 210, and a magnet holder 230 covering the rotor core 210 and the magnets 220. The rotor core 210 may include a first rotor core 210A and a second rotor core 210B. The first rotor core 210A and the second rotor core 210B may be stacked in the axial direction. The magnet holder 230 may include a first magnet holder 230A and a second magnet holder 230B. The first magnet holder 230A may be inserted into the rotor core 210 from one side of the rotor core 210 in the axial direction, and the second magnet holder 230B may be inserted into the rotor core 210 from the other side of the rotor core 210 in the axial direction.

[0063] In the drawings, the magnet holder 230 is illustrated as consisting of a first magnet holder 230A and a second magnet holder 230B, but the present invention is not limited to this and the magnet holder 230 may be a single member that completely covers the rotor core 210 and the magnet 220.

[0064] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the rotor core 210 and the magnet 220, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the magnet 220. As shown in FIG.

[0065] 4, rotor core 210 may include a plurality of protrusions 211 protruding radially from its outer surface. The plurality of protrusions 211 are arranged at regular intervals along the circumferential direction. Each of the protrusions 211 may be arranged on the outer surface of rotor core 210 and extend along the axial direction.

[0066] The protrusions 211 align the positions of the magnets 220 in the circumferential direction and serve to guide the insertion of the magnets 220. The magnets 220 are inserted in the axial direction between the protrusions 211 in the circumferential direction. Hereinafter, the magnets 220 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, arranged with the protrusion 211 in between, the magnet 220 arranged on one side of the protrusion 211 will be referred to as a first magnet 220A, and the magnet 220 arranged on the other side of the protrusion 211 will be referred to as a second magnet 220B.

[0067] 5, the magnet 220 may include an outer surface 221 that contacts the magnet holder 230, an inner surface 222 that contacts the rotor core 210, and two side surfaces 223 that connect the outer surface 221 and the inner surface 222. The magnet 220 may also include one surface 224 that forms both ends of the magnet 220 in the axial direction.

[0068] For smooth insertion of the magnet 220, the circumferential width between the protrusions 211 is wider than the circumferential width of the magnet 220, so a gap may occur between the protrusions 211 and the side of the magnet 220. This gap causes an error in aligning the magnet 220 in the circumferential direction. For this reason, the magnet 220 must be aligned by pushing it clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0069] 6 is a view illustrating the magnet holder 230, FIG. 7 is a plan view of the magnet holder 230 illustrated in FIG. 6, and FIG. 12 is a side cross-sectional view of the magnet holder 230 illustrated in FIG.

[0070] 6, 7, and 12, magnet holder 230 includes hole 233. This hole 233 is where pin P of an external device is inserted to push magnet 220 in one direction after magnet holder 230 is attached. Hole 233 is also where the state of magnet 220 and the state of the adhesive applied to magnet 220 can be observed with the naked eye.

[0071] The magnet holder 230 may be divided into a first part 231 and a second part 232. The first part 231 is a cylindrical member. The second part 232 may be formed by bending an end of the first part 231. A hole 233 may be disposed in the second part 232. The second part 232 may be divided into a second A part 232a and a second B part 232b. The second A part 232a is bent inward from the first part 231. The second B part 232b may be bent at the second A part 232a and disposed to have a step with the second A part 232a.

[0072] The holes 233 may be arranged at regular intervals along the circumferential direction. The positions of the holes 233 in the circumferential direction correspond to the protrusions 211. Therefore, the number of the holes 233 may correspond to the number of the protrusions 211.

[0073] Such a hole 233 may be located in the 2A part 232a.

[0074] 8 to 10 are views illustrating the protrusion 211 and the magnet 220 exposed through the hole 233. FIG.

[0075] 8, after magnets 220 are attached to rotor core 210, magnet holder 230 is attached to rotor core 210 so that holes 233 and protrusions 211 are aligned. When magnet holder 230 is attached to rotor core 210, protrusions 211 and portions of magnets 220 are exposed through holes 233. Protrusions 211 and one surface and side surface of first magnet 220A, and one surface and side surface of second magnet 220B are exposed through holes 233.

[0076] The hole 233 may include an outer surface 233a, an inner surface 233b facing the outer surface 233a, and both side surfaces 233c connecting the outer surface 233a and the inner surface 233b. The space formed by the outer surface 233a, the side surface of the first magnet 220A, the side surface of the second magnet 220B, and the protrusion 211 is a space into which a pin P of an external device can be inserted. The outer surface 233a may be curved to maximize the space into which the pin P can be inserted.

[0077] When the magnets 220 are mounted between the protrusions 211, a gap G is generated between the magnets 220 and the protrusions 211. Because of this gap G, the distance between the magnets 220 in the circumferential direction may vary for each magnet 220, so it is necessary to insert a pin P into the hole 233 and press the magnets 220 to align them.

[0078] Meanwhile, the maximum circumferential width W1 of the hole 233 may be set to be larger than the maximum circumferential width W2 of the protrusion 211 so that the side surfaces of the first magnet 220A and the second magnet 220B as well as the protrusion 211 can be exposed through the hole 233. Also, the maximum radial length R1 of the hole 233 may be larger than the maximum radial length R2 of the protrusion 211.

[0079] 9, the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 may be different from each other. The first distance L1 is the circumferential distance between the side surface 233c of the hole 233 and the exposed side surface of the first magnet 220A, and the second distance L2 is the circumferential distance between the side surface 233c of the hole 233 and the exposed side surface of the second magnet 220B. In this case, the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 may be the distance on the circumference of an imaginary circle O that passes through the center of the side surface 233c of the hole 233.

[0080] 10, the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 may be different. The third distance L3 may be the circumferential distance between a reference line T passing through the circumferential width center P1 of the hole 233 and the axial center C of the shaft 100, and the exposed side surface of the first magnet 220A. The fourth distance L4 may be the circumferential distance between the reference line T and the exposed side surface of the second magnet 220B. In this case, the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 may be the distance on the circumference of an imaginary circle O passing through the center of the side surface 233c of the hole 233.

[0081] The hole 233 may be formed so that the circumferential center P2 of the protrusion 211 passes through the reference line T.

[0082] FIG. 11 is a view illustrating another embodiment of the hole 233. In FIG.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 11, the hole 233 has an outer surface 233a formed with a groove 233a recessed outward. a The groove 233a may be disposed a The groove 233a may be disposed in a region of the outer surface 233a of the hole 233 that does not overlap with the magnet 220. a This is to prevent the outer surface of the magnet 220 from being exposed due to the groove 233a. a This has the advantage of expanding the space formed by the outer surface 233a of the hole 233, the side surface of the magnet 220, and the protrusion 211, thereby securing a large space into which the pin P of the external device can be inserted.

[0084] 13 is a view showing a state in which the pin P of the external device is aligned with the hole 233 of the magnet holder 230, and FIG. 14 is a view showing a state in which the pin P of the external device is inserted into the hole 233. As shown in FIG.

[0085] 13, a pin P of an external device is aligned to be inserted into the radially outer region of the protrusion 211. Although one pin P is shown in the drawing, multiple pins P may be aligned with each hole 233. Referring to FIG. 14, a pin P is inserted into the radially outer region of the protrusion 211. Pins P may be inserted into all of the holes 233 of the magnet holder 230.

[0086] FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating the process of aligning the magnets 220 by the pins P. As shown in FIG.

[0087] 15, when pins P are inserted into holes 233 and rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, they push and move magnet 220 clockwise or counterclockwise.

The first width W1 and first depth D1 of the first groove G11 of the first protrusion P1 may vary. As the first width W1 and first depth D1 increase, deformation using a jig becomes easier, but the rigidity of the first protrusion P1 may decrease. On the other hand, as the first width W1 and first depth D1 decrease, the rigidity of the first protrusion P1 increases, but a greater pressure force from the jig is required to deform the first protrusion P1. Accordingly, the first width W1 and first depth D1 can be adjusted depending on the rigidity of the material of the first protrusion P1.

[0152] FIG. 41 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a plurality of first rotor plates, a plurality of second rotor plates, and a third rotor plate are stacked.

[0153] 41, a second rotor core 3322 may be stacked on one side of a third rotor plate 3230. In this case, the second rotor core 3322 may be formed by stacking a plurality of second rotor plates 3220. Although not shown in the drawing, the second rotor core 3322 may include a fourth rotor plate (not shown). The fourth rotor plate (not shown) may be disposed on one side of the plurality of second rotor plates. The fourth rotor plate may have the same shape as the third rotor plate. Another first rotor core may be disposed on one side of the fourth rotor plate.

[0154] The second rotor plate 3220 is disposed to be rotated with respect to the third rotor plate 3230 with an angular deviation therebetween. The second protrusion 220S protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the second rotor plate 3220 is disposed to be offset by a predetermined angle from the third protrusion 3230S. The first C protrusion 3231 is disposed in the second B groove and may overlap with the second B protrusion 3222 in the axial direction. The first rotor core 321 and the second rotor core 322 can be fixed by the engagement of the first C protrusion 3231 and the second B groove.

[0155] This structure increases work efficiency by adjusting the skew angle while stacking the first to third rotor plates, and increases the bonding force between the rotor plates because the protrusions are inserted into the grooves or holes when stacking. It also increases the slip torque between the contact surfaces of the rotor core, preventing the rotor core from slipping and stabilizing the rotor's drive.

[0156] The above-described embodiment can be used in various devices such as vehicles and home appliances.
