Abstract

A rotor assembly includes: a shaft; a rotor core having a through-hole which is formed in an axial direction (A) and into which the shaft is inserted; a magnet inserted into an inner space of the rotor core; and a plate provided in close contact with one side of the rotor core in the axial direction (A). The plate includes a protrusion formed in a region, which faces a region between the magnet and the circumference of the rotor core, and protruding toward the rotor core.

Claims (36)

1 . A rotor assembly comprising:

a shaft;

a rotor core having a through-hole which is formed in an axial direction (A) and into which the shaft is inserted;

a magnet inserted into an inner space of the rotor core; and

a plate provided in close contact with at least one side of the rotor core in the axial direction (A),

wherein the plate comprises a protrusion formed in a region, which faces a region between a side surface of the magnet and the circumference an inner circumferential surface of the rotor core, and protruding toward the rotor core,

wherein a certain region is formed between the rotor core and the magnet, and the rotor assembly further comprises a resin portion that is provided in the certain region and bonded to the rotor core and the magnet

wherein the protrusion is provided in close contact with one end of the magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core,

wherein the resin portion comprises a first resin portion bonded to one end of the magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core

wherein an empty space, which is not filled with the resin portion, is formed between the magnet and the rotor core at the other end of the magnet on the opposite side from the one end.

2 . The rotor assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is provided in close contact with the magnet.

3 . The rotor assembly of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is provided in close contact with the resin portion.

4 . The rotor assembly of claim 2 , wherein the magnet is provided inside the rotor core at a certain angle (θ) with respect to a radial direction (R) perpendicular to the axial direction (A), and

the protrusion is provided in close contact with one end of the magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core.

5 . The rotor assembly of claim 4 , wherein the magnet comprises:

a first magnet provided at the certain angle (θ) with respect to the radial direction (R); and

a second magnet located parallel to the first magnet and provided further inside the rotor core than the first magnet,

wherein the protrusion comprises:

a first protrusion provided in close contact with one end of the first magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core; and

a second protrusion provided in close contact with one end of the second magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core.

6 . The rotor assembly of claim 5 , wherein the plate comprises:

a first plate provided in close contact with one side end of the rotor core in the axial direction (A); and

a second plate provided in close contact with the other side end of the rotor core in the axial direction (A).

7 . A motor comprising:

a rotor assembly; and

a stator provided on one side of the rotor assembly in a radial direction (R),

wherein the rotor assembly comprises:

a shaft;

a rotor core having a through-hole which is formed in an axial direction (A) and into which the shaft is inserted;

a magnet inserted into an inner space of the rotor core; and

a plate provided in close contact with at least one side of the rotor core in the axial direction (A),

wherein the plate comprises a protrusion formed in a region of the plate, which faces a region between a side surface of the magnet and the circumference an inner circumferential surface of the rotor core, and protruding toward the rotor core,

wherein a certain region is formed between the rotor core and the magnet, and the rotor assembly further comprises a resin portion that is provided in the certain region and bonded to the rotor core and the magnet

wherein the protrusion is provided in close contact with one end of the magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core,

wherein the resin portion comprises a first resin portion bonded to one end of the magnet that is adjacent to the circumference of the rotor core

wherein an empty space, which is not filled with the resin portion, is formed between the magnet and the rotor core at the other end of the magnet on the opposite side from the one end.
