Abstract

The present invention provides a rotor of a brushless (BL) motor, including: a high-strength engineering plastic member formed by injection-molding high-strength engineering plastic around a concavo-convex portion 12 a formed on the outer circumferential surface of a rotary shaft; a sound-absorbing resin element formed by injection-molding a sound-absorbing resin around the high-strength engineering plastic member; a cylindrical ring magnet assembly including a plurality of axially aligned ring-shaped magnets, each of which has a plurality of indented grooves 20 a and 20 b formed on both end edges of the inner circumferential surface thereof; and a high-strength plastic member formed by injection-molding a high-strength plastic between the sound-absorbing resin element and the ring magnet assembly, the high-strength plastic member having a plurality of protrusions formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof in such a fashion that each protrusion corresponds to an associated one of the indented grooves of the ring-shaped magnets.

Claims (9)

1. A rotor of a brushless (BL) motor, comprising:

a concavo-convex portion formed around a rotary shaft;

a first high-strength engineering plastic member formed by injection molding on the concavo-convex portion;

a sound-absorbing resin element formed by injection-molding around the first high-strength engineering plastic member;

a ring-shaped magnet disposed on the outer side of the sound-absorbing resin element; and

a second high-strength plastic member formed by injection molding between the sound-absorbing resin element and the ring magnet to prevent damage of the ring-shaped magnet due to the thermal expansion of the sound-absorbing resin element;

wherein a plurality of concavo-convexes are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the first high-strength engineering plastic member to increase the bonding force between the first high-strength engineering plastic member and the sound-absorbing resin element, and indented grooves are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the ring-shaped magnet to be engaged with protrusions formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second high-strength plastic member to increase the bonding force between the second high-strength plastic member and the ring-shaped magnet.

2. A stepping motor having the rotor of claim 1 .

3. A micro motor having the rotor of claim 1 .
