Abstract

The present invention prevents peak noise caused by a resonance frequency, and reduces an overall noise of the system by binding core teeth of a stator of a BLDC motor with a vibration prevention member. To do this, the present invention provides a brushless DC motor for a washing machine including a stator including a frame, a core in the frame, and a plurality of core teeth each extended outward from the frame and having a coil wound thereon, a rotor mounted to surround the core teeth, and rotatable when power is provided to the stator, and a vibration prevention member connected between the core teeth to bind the core teeth to each other, for prevention of vibration of the core teeth.

Claims (15)

1. A brushless DC motor for a washing machine comprising:

a stator including a frame, a core in the frame, and a plurality of core teeth each extended outward from the frame and having a coil wound thereon;

a rotor mounted to surround the core teeth, and rotatable when power is provided to the stator; and

a vibration prevention lacing thread connected between the core teeth, to bind the core teeth to each other, to prevent the vibration of the core teeth.

2. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread binds outer ends of the core teeth.

3. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread encloses each of outer ends of the core teeth at least once.

4. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread binds outer ends of the core teeth in succession.

5. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread includes one member for binding all the core teeth continuously.

6. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacing thread binds outer ends of the core teeth.

7. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacing thread winds each of outer ends of the core teeth at least once.

8. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacing thread binds the core teeth continuously, without disconnection.

9. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacing thread is formed of polyester.

10. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread is formed of a non-magnetic material.

11. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread is formed of plastic.

12. The brushless DC motor as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the vibration prevention lacing thread is formed of polyester.
