Fan motor and blower including the same motor
A fan motor includes a pair of fans axially mounted to both sides of a rotary shaft of the motor. The motor includes an inner rotor placed inside a stator wound with windings and an outer rotor placed outside the stator. The motor thus has a dual-rotor structure where the inner rotor and the outer rotor are held such that both the rotors can rotate on the rotary shaft.
1. A blower equipped with a fan motor that comprises:
the fan motor mounting a first fan and a second fan axially to both sides of a rotary shaft of a motor;
a housing containing the fan motor inside;
intake ports for sucking air and supplying the air to the first fan and the second fan; and
a support plate for mounting the motor,
wherein the motor comprises an inner rotor placed inside a stator wound with windings and an outer rotor placed outside the stator, and forms a dual-rotor structure in which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are held such that both the inner rotor and the outer rotor can rotate on the rotary shaft,
wherein the stator includes a stator core having an annular yoke, a plurality of inner teeth protruding inward from the yoke, and a plurality of outer teeth protruding outward from the yoke, and wherein the windings are wound on the yoke,
wherein the support plate is placed between the motor and the first fan around the center of the rotary shaft,
wherein each of the first fan and the second fan has an opening for sucking air and is shaped cylindrically for operating as a centrifugal fan,
wherein the first fan directly connected to the inner rotor and the second fan directly connected to the outer rotor without separate shafts between the first fan and the inner rotor and the second fan and the outer rotor,
wherein the blower discharges the air sucked through the intake ports to outside of the first fan and the second fan.
