Abstract

The hollow shaft motor according to the present invention comprises: a housing 11 having a cylindrical shape; an upper cover 12 coupled to an upper portion of the housing 11 ; a lower cover 15 coupled to a lower portion of the housing 11 ; a stator assembly 20 located in the housing 11 ; and a rotor assembly 30 located in the stator assembly 20 to rotate, wherein the rotor assembly 30 comprises a hollow shaft 31 , a rotor core 32 coupled to an outer circumference of the hollow shaft 31 , and a plurality of magnets 33 attached to an outer circumference of the rotor core 32 , and the upper cover 12 comprises a bus bar receiving part 12 A in which a bus bar 120 is installed.

Claims (18)

1. A hollow shaft motor, comprising:

a housing ( 11 ) having a cylindrical shape;

an upper cover ( 12 ) coupled to an upper portion of the housing ( 11 );

a lower cover ( 15 ) coupled to a lower portion of the housing ( 11 );

a stator assembly ( 20 ) located in the housing ( 11 ); and

a rotor assembly ( 30 ) located in the stator assembly ( 20 ) to rotate,

wherein the rotor assembly ( 30 ) comprises a hollow shaft ( 31 ), a rotor core ( 32 ) coupled to an outer circumference of the hollow shaft ( 31 ), and a plurality of magnets ( 33 ) attached to an outer circumference of the rotor core ( 32 ), and

the upper cover ( 12 ) comprises a bus bar receiving part ( 12 A) in which a bus bar ( 120 ) is installed,

wherein the housing ( 11 ) has a lower protruding part ( 115 ) being formed with bent and folded to reinforce strength by a pressing process, wherein a bent portion of the lower protruding part ( 115 ) is folded by directly contacting with each other,

wherein a lower bearing ( 14 ) is press-fitted and coupled to an inner surface of the lower protruding part ( 115 ),

wherein a stopper ( 16 ) is interposed between the lower bearing ( 14 ) and the lower cover ( 15 ),

wherein the lower protruding part ( 115 ) is located in a space formed between an outer circumferential surface of the stopper ( 16 ) and in inner circumferential surface of the lower cover ( 15 ),

wherein the stopper ( 16 ) supports a lower surface of lower bearing ( 14 ) and is coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the lower protruding part ( 115 ).

2. The hollow shaft motor of claim 1 , wherein the upper cover ( 12 ) has a terminal cover ( 12 B) extending upwardly at one side of the bus bar receiving part ( 12 A).

3. The hollow shaft motor of claim 1 , wherein the upper cover ( 12 ) comprises a side wall part ( 12 C) formed around the bus bar receiving part ( 12 A), wherein a plurality of coil connection spaces ( 12 F) vertically penetrated is formed between the bus bar receiving part ( 12 A) and the side wall part ( 12 C), and wherein a coil connection terminal ( 120 A) formed in the bus bar ( 120 ) is located in the coil connection space ( 12 F) such that an end of a coil wound around the stator assembly ( 20 ) is electrically connected to the coil connection terminal ( 120 A).

4. The hollow shaft motor of claim 1 , wherein the hollow shaft ( 31 ) comprises a yoke coupling part ( 311 ) having a cylindrical shape, an upper bearing support part ( 312 ) having a diameter greater than that of the yoke coupling part ( 311 ), an upper bearing receiving part ( 313 ) having a shape bent inwardly in a lower portion of the upper bearing support part ( 312 ), and a lower bearing support part ( 316 ) protruding downwardly from the yoke coupling part ( 311 ).

5. The hollow shaft motor of claim 4 , wherein a lower sleeve ( 12 D) extending downwardly from a central portion of the bus bar receiving part ( 12 A) of the upper cover ( 12 ) is formed, and the lower sleeve ( 12 D) extends inside the yoke coupling part ( 311 ).

6. The hollow shaft motor of claim 5 , wherein an upper bearing ( 13 ) is coupled to an upper side of the lower sleeve ( 12 D), and an outer race of the upper bearing ( 13 ) supports the rotation of the upper bearing support part ( 312 ).
