Household appliance
A household appliance has a container for receiving working material and a housing that is isolated from the container by a wall. A rotatable working tool disposed inside the container. A motor for driving the working tool has a stator and a rotor. The stator is disposed within the housing so as to be isolated from the working material of the container. The rotor is disposed within the container and the working tool is preferably fixed to a shaft of the rotor.
1. A household appliance, comprising:
a container for receiving liquid containing material;
a housing that is isolated from the container by a wall;
a rotatable working tool disposed inside the container; and
a motor for driving the working tool, comprising a stator and a rotor;
wherein the stator comprises stator windings disposed within the housing and the rotor comprises a rotor shaft and a rotor magnet fixed to the rotor shaft disposed within the container, the stator windings and the rotor magnet being separated by the wall and the rotor shaft does not pass through the wall;
wherein the rotor magnet and the stator windings are spaced from each other in the radial direction of shaft and face to each other; and
wherein the rotor magnet comprises a cylindrical magnet fixed to the rotor shaft, and the wall comprises a recess for receiving the rotor magnet, the stator windings being disposed inside the housing and around the recess to confront the rotor magnet.
2. The household appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a support member disposed inside the container and fixed to the housing, the rotor shaft being rotatably supported by the support member via a bearing.
3. The household appliance of claim 1 , wherein the stator is disposed above the container.
4. The household appliance of claim 1 , wherein the stator is disposed below the container.
5. The household appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a hood disposed inside the container and mounted to the housing, the rotor and the working tool being disposed inside the hood, the interior of the hood communicating with the interior of the container.
6. The household appliance of claim 1 , wherein the household appliance is a soy milk maker, grain grinder, juice extractor, mixer or egg beater.
7. A household appliance, comprising:
a container for receiving liquid containing material;
a housing that is isolated from the container by a wall;
a rotatable working tool disposed inside the container; and
a motor for driving the working tool, comprising a stator and a rotor;
wherein the stator comprises stator windings disposed within the housing and the rotor comprises a rotor shaft and a rotor magnet fixed to the rotor shaft disposed within the container, the stator windings and the rotor magnet being separated by the wall and the rotor shaft does not pass through the wall;
wherein the rotor magnet and the stator windings are spaced from each other in the radial direction of shaft and face to each other; and
wherein the wall comprises a projection that extends outwardly from the housing and the stator windings are disposed inside the projection, and the rotor magnet comprises a ring magnet disposed around the projection and confronting the stator windings.
8. The household appliance of claim 7 , further comprising a support member disposed inside the container and fixed to the housing, the rotor shaft being rotatably supported by the support member via a bearing.
9. The household appliance of claim 7 , wherein the stator is disposed above the container.
10. The household appliance of claim 7 , wherein the stator is disposed below the container.
11. The household appliance of claim 7 , further comprising a hood disposed inside the container and mounted to the housing, the rotor and the working tool being disposed inside the hood, the interior of the hood communicating with the interior of the container.
12. The household appliance of claim 7 , wherein the household appliance is a soy milk maker, grain grinder, juice extractor, mixer or egg beater.
