Solution Approach 1:

The invention removes the tooth socket structure from the stator core, extracting the problematic element that caused torque fluctuation. The core is designed as a smooth cylindrical structure without tooth sockets, eliminating the source of torque ripple while maintaining coil positioning through alternative means.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges the rotor magnet with the rotor core by directly coupling the cylindrical magnet to the rotating shaft, forming an integrated rotor assembly. This eliminates the separated structure that caused magnet dropout, while the cylindrical shape enables automated machining and assembly processes.

Inventive Principle:
