Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an axial flux motor and an electrical product. The motor includes a rotor which rotates with a central axis as a center, and a stator which is disposed opposite to the rotor in an axial direction and has a plurality of stator units, the plurality of stator units being disposed around the central axis. The stator unit includes a core unit formed by a core piece, and a coil unit formed by a wire wound and disposed around the core unit. A height of the core unit in the axial direction is less than or equal to a height of the coil unit in the axial direction. With the embodiments of the disclosure, the dependency between the coil and the core in design and manufacture can be reduced, and the degree of design freedom can be improved.

Claims (17)

1. An axial flux motor, comprising:

a rotor which rotates with a central axis as a center;

a stator which is disposed opposite to the rotor in an axial direction and has a plurality of stator units, the plurality of stator units being disposed around the central axis, and

the stator unit further comprises spacers respectively disposed on two sides of the core unit in the axial direction, wherein the spacers are formed of material with heat dissipation property and without magnetic permeability, and a center position of the core unit in the axial direction is aligned with a center position of the coil unit in the axial direction,

a cover member which covers the entire core unit, and the cover member is formed of a material with heat dissipation property and without magnetic permeability,

wherein the stator unit comprises:

a core unit formed by a core piece; and

a coil unit formed by a wire wound and disposed around the core unit, wherein a height of the core unit in the axial direction is less than or equal to a height of the coil unit in the axial direction.

2. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein the core unit and the coil unit are disposed to have a gap therebetween.

3. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein the stator unit further comprises a plurality of core units and/or a plurality of coil units.

4. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the rotor is two in number, and the two rotors are respectively disposed on two sides of the stator in the axial direction, or

the rotor is one in number, and the one rotor is disposed on one side of the stator in the axial direction.

5. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein the core unit is formed of a soft magnetic composite material.

6. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the core unit is greater than or equal to 2 mm.

7. The axial flux motor according to claim 1 , wherein the core unit is in a rectangular shape or a fan shape when viewed in the axial direction.

8. An electrical product comprising the axial flux motor according to claim 1 .
