Abstract

An external rotor for a direct current drive motor with a side wall, an end cover, a cavity, an opening, a base, a magnetic tile, a center hole, and a magnetic yoke shell. A method for producing an external rotor for a direct current drive motor by integrally forming by injection molding a magnetic yoke shell and multiple magnetic tiles; forming a side wall on said magnetic yoke shell and an end cover at the bottom of said side wall; forming a base at the center of said end cover; and integrally forming by injection molding said base and a rotating spline.

Claims (34)

1. An external rotor for a direct current drive motor, comprising a side wall ( 1 ); an end cover ( 2 ) directly connected to said side wall ( 1 ); a cavity ( 3 ) formed between said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of openings ( 4 ) formed in said side wall ( 1 ); a base ( 5 ) disposed at the center of said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of magnetic tiles ( 6 ) received in a plurality of said openings ( 4 ); a magnetic yoke shell ( 12 ) disposed against said side wall ( 1 ); a center hole ( 7 ) disposed at the center of said base ( 5 ); multiple wind wheels ( 8 ); and an air inlet ( 9 ) disposed between adjacent wind wheels ( 8 ); wherein said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ) are integrally formed by injection molding and said base ( 5 ) is connected to said side wall ( 1 ) via said wind wheels ( 8 ), whereby improving the integrity of the external rotor.

2. An external rotor for a direct current drive motor, comprising a side wall ( 1 ); an end cover ( 2 ) directly connected to said side wall ( 1 ); a cavity ( 3 ) formed between said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of openings ( 4 ) formed in said side wall ( 1 ); a base ( 5 ) disposed at the center of said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of magnetic tiles ( 6 ) received in a plurality of said openings ( 4 ); a magnetic yoke shell ( 12 ) disposed against said side wall ( 1 ); a center hole ( 7 ) disposed at the center of said base ( 5 ); and multiple wind wheels ( 8 ); wherein said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ) are integrally formed by injection molding;

wherein said wind wheels ( 8 ) are connected with each other via multiple first supporting ribs ( 15 ); and multiple second supporting ribs ( 16 ) are disposed at the bottom of said wind wheels ( 8 ) whereby reinforcing said wind wheels ( 8 ).

3. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein the thickness of said wind wheel ( 8 ) reduces gradually from the center thereof, whereby generating axial airflow as the rotor rotates forwardly or reversely.

4. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein said center hole ( 7 ) and said base ( 5 ) are integrally formed by injection molding.

5. The rotor of claim 2 , further comprising a rotating spline ( 14 ) connected to said base ( 5 ).

6. The rotor of claim 5 , wherein

said center hole ( 7 ) is disposed in said rotating spline ( 14 );

said rotating spline ( 14 ) comprises multiple teeth ( 20 ); and

said teeth ( 20 ) are arc-shaped, rectangular, triangular, involute, ladder-shaped, or sawtooth-shaped.

7. The rotor of claim 6 , wherein

multiple cylinders ( 10 ) are disposed around said rotating spline ( 14 ); and

an annular groove ( 11 ) is disposed at the center of said rotating spline ( 14 ).

8. The rotor of claim 2 , further comprising a rotating spline ( 14 ) disposed in said base ( 5 ).

9. The rotor of claim 8 , wherein

said center hole ( 7 ) is disposed in said rotating spline ( 14 );

said rotating spline ( 14 ) comprises multiple teeth ( 20 ); and

said teeth ( 20 ) are arc-shaped, rectangular, triangular, involute, ladder-shaped or sawtooth-shaped.

10. The rotor of claim 9 , wherein

multiple cylinders ( 10 ) are disposed around said rotating spline ( 14 ); and

an annular groove ( 11 ) is disposed at the center of said rotating spline ( 14 ).

11. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein multiple axial supporting ribs ( 17 ) and multiple annular supporting ribs ( 18 ) connected with one other are disposed at the top and the bottom of said base ( 5 ).

12. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein

multiple grooves ( 13 ) are disposed on both ends of said side wall ( 1 );

the number of said grooves ( 13 ) is the same as that of said magnetic tiles ( 6 ); and

said groove ( 13 ) is step-shaped.

13. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein said magnetic tiles ( 6 ) are tightly surrounded by and abut against said side wall ( 1 ).

14. A method for producing the rotor of claim 2 , comprising

(a) integrally forming by injection molding a magnetic yoke shell ( 12 ) and multiple magnetic tiles ( 6 );

(b) forming a side wall ( 1 ) on said magnetic yoke shell ( 12 ) and an end cover ( 2 ) at the bottom of said side wall ( 1 );

(c) forming a base ( 5 ) at the center of said end cover ( 2 ); and

(d) integrally forming by injection molding said base ( 5 ) and a rotating spline ( 14 ).

15. An external rotor for a direct current drive motor, comprising a side wall ( 1 );

an end cover ( 2 ) directly connected to said side wall ( 1 ); a cavity ( 3 ) formed between said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of openings ( 4 ) formed in said side wall ( 1 ); a base ( 5 ) disposed at the center of said end cover ( 2 ); a plurality of magnetic tiles ( 6 ) received in a plurality of said openings ( 4 ); a magnetic yoke shell ( 12 ) disposed against said side wall ( 1 ); a center hole ( 7 ) disposed at the center of said base ( 5 ); multiple wind wheels ( 8 ); and an air inlet ( 9 ) disposed between adjacent wind wheels ( 8 ); wherein said side wall ( 1 ) and said end cover ( 2 ) are integrally formed by injection molding; only said air inlet ( 9 ) is disposed between two adjacent wind wheels ( 8 ); and said base ( 5 ) is connected to said side wall ( 1 ) via said wind wheels ( 8 ).
