Abstract

An embodiment may provide a motor including a shaft, a rotor including a rotor core and a coil disposed on the rotor core, a stator disposed outside the rotor, a substrate electrically connected to the coil, and a first housing in which the substrate is disposed and which is coupled to the shaft and the rotor, wherein the substrate includes a sensor and a coil connected to the sensor, the first housing includes a hole, the stator includes a yoke and a magnet disposed on the yoke, the yoke includes a plurality of protrusions, and the protrusions and the hole are disposed to overlap the coil in an axial direction.

Claims (45)

1. A motor comprising:

a shaft;

a rotor including a rotor core and a first coil disposed on the rotor core;

a stator including a yoke and a magnet disposed on the yoke;

a substrate electrically connected to the first coil; and

a first housing coupled to the rotor,

wherein

the rotor is disposed in the stator,

the substrate includes a sensor and a second coil connected to the sensor,

the first housing includes a hole,

the yoke includes a plurality of protrusions, and

the protrusions and the hole are disposed to overlap the second coil in an axial direction.

2. The motor of claim 1 , further comprising a second housing rotatably supporting each of the shaft and the rotor core,

wherein the rotor core is disposed above the second housing.

3. The motor of claim 2 , wherein:

the second housing includes a second body and a bearing housing protruding from the second body;

the motor further comprises a plurality of bearings disposed in the bearing housing; and

some of the plurality of the bearings are disposed to overlap the first housing in a radial direction.

4. The motor of claim 2 , wherein:

the yoke includes a first body having an annular shape and a flange extending from the first body; and

the second housing is in contact with the flange.

5. The motor of claim 1 , wherein:

the yoke includes a first body having an annular shape; and

the protrusions protrude inward from the first body.

6. A motor comprising:

a second substrate;

a stator disposed on the second substrate;

a rotor disposed above the stator; and

a first substrate disposed between the stator and the rotor;

a coil disposed on the first substrate; and

a connecting member electrically connecting the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein

the rotor includes a first housing and a plurality of protrusions protruding from the first housing,

the plurality of protrusions and the coil overlap in a vertical direction,

the first substrate includes an opening disposed inside the coil.

7. The motor of claim 6 , wherein:

the plurality of protrusions are disposed to form a circular shape; and

the coil is disposed to have a shape corresponding to the circular shape.

8. The motor of claim 6 , further comprising a sensing part disposed between the stator and the rotor,

wherein the sensing part includes a first sensing member disposed on an upper surface of the first substrate, and

wherein the first substrate includes:

a first region in which the first sensing member is disposed and which has a circular band shape; and

a second region which protrudes inward from the first region and in which a second sensing member is disposed.

9. The motor of claim 6 , wherein the stator includes a second housing and a stator core, the protrusions of the rotor protrude from a lower surface of the first housing, and the first substrate is disposed between the stator core and a bottom surface of the second housing.

10. The motor of claim 9 , wherein the second housing includes an outer wall and an inner wall, and the stator core is coupled to the inner wall.
