Abstract

A motor assembly of the present disclosure improves a combined structure between an impeller and a rotor to more firmly combine them. Furthermore, the impeller is combined with a rotor shaft without deformation, so the durability of the respective components may be improved.

Claims (57)

1. A motor assembly comprising:

a stator;

a rotor having a rotor shaft and that electromagnetically interacts with the stator to be rotated; and

an impeller including

an impeller body,

a plurality of wings formed on an outer face of the impeller body to produce air currents by rotation, and

a shaft combiner arranged on the impeller body and including a shaft combining plane and a gradient combining plane forming a shaft insertion hole in the shaft combiner into which the rotor shaft is inserted, wherein

the shaft combining plane forms an inner diameter of the insertion hole corresponding to an outer diameter of the rotor shaft, and

the gradient combining plane extends from the shaft combining plane at a gradient so that an inner diameter of the gradient combining plane gradually increase in an inserted direction of the rotor shaft into the shaft insertion hole.

2. The motor assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

an adhesive adhering an outer circumferential face of the rotor shaft and the gradient combining plane.

3. The motor assembly of claim 1 , wherein the shaft combiner comprises

an anti-deformation unit partially arranged from an end of the shaft combiner and insert-injected with the impeller to prevent deformation of the shaft combiner in combination of the rotor shaft.

4. The motor assembly of claim 3 , wherein the anti-deformation unit comprises

an anti-deformation gradient plane formed in at least a part of the anti-deformation unit and formed to be gradient to have an inner diameter gradually increase in the inserted direction.

5. The motor assembly of claim 1 , wherein the shaft combiner comprises

an anti-deformation unit arranged on an entire area of the shaft combiner and insert-injected with the impeller to prevent deformation of the shaft combiner in combination of the rotor shaft.

6. The motor assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rotor shaft comprises

an anti-slip part formed on an outer circumferential face of the rotor shaft to correspond to the shaft combining plane, and having a knurling form.

7. The motor assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein the rotor shaft comprises a screw projection formed at an end in the inserted direction to the impeller and having a screw thread formed on the outer circumferential face,

wherein the shaft combiner comprises a screw groove corresponding to the screw projection.

8. The motor assembly of claim 7 ,

wherein the screw groove is formed to be stepped to have an inner diameter smaller than an inner circumferential face of the shaft combiner, and

wherein the screw projection is formed to be stepped to have an outer diameter smaller than the outer circumferential face of the adjacent rotor shaft, thereby being combined with the screw groove.

9. The motor assembly of claim 1 ,

wherein the rotor shaft comprises a screw projection formed at an end in the inserted direction to the impeller and having a screw thread formed on the outer circumferential face,

wherein the shaft combiner comprises a nut unit insert-injected to the impeller and formed for the screw projection to be combined with.

10. A vacuum cleaner comprising:

a motor to suck air into the vacuum cleaner, the motor comprising:

a stator;

a rotor having a rotor shaft and that electromagnetically interacts with the stator to be rotated; and

an impeller including

an impeller body,

a plurality of wings formed on an outer face of the impeller body to produce air currents by rotation, and

a shaft combiner arranged on the impeller body and including a shaft combining plane and a gradient combining plane forming a shaft insertion hole in the shaft combiner into which the rotor shaft is inserted, wherein

the shaft combining plane forms an inner diameter of the insertion hole corresponding to an outer diameter of the rotor shaft, and

the gradient combining plane extends from the shaft combining plane at a gradient so that an inner diameter of the gradient combining plane gradually increase in an inserted direction of the rotor shaft into the shaft insertion hole.

11. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 , where in the motor further comprises:

an adhesive adhering an outer circumferential face of the rotor shaft and the gradient combining plane.

12. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the shaft combiner comprises

an anti-deformation unit partially arranged from an end of the shaft combiner and insert-injected with the impeller to prevent deformation of the shaft combiner in combination of the rotor shaft.

13. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the shaft combiner comprises

an anti-deformation unit arranged on an entire area of the shaft combiner and insert-injected with the impeller to prevent deformation of the shaft combiner in combination of the rotor shaft.

14. The vacuum cleaner of claim 12 , wherein the anti-deformation unit comprises

an anti-deformation gradient plane formed in at least a part of the anti-deformation unit and formed to be gradient to have an inner diameter gradually increase in the inserted direction.

15. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the rotor shaft comprises

an anti-slip part formed on an outer circumferential face of the rotor shaft to correspond to the shaft combining plane, and having a knurling form.

16. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 ,

wherein the rotor shaft comprises a screw projection formed at an end in the inserted direction to the impeller and having a screw thread formed on the outer circumferential face,

wherein the shaft combiner comprises a screw groove corresponding to the screw projection.

17. The vacuum cleaner of claim 16 ,

wherein the screw groove is formed to be stepped to have an inner diameter smaller than an inner circumferential face of the shaft combiner, and

wherein the screw projection is formed to be stepped to have an outer diameter smaller than the outer circumferential face of the adjacent rotor shaft, thereby being combined with the screw groove.

18. The vacuum cleaner of claim 10 ,

wherein the rotor shaft comprises a screw projection formed at an end in the inserted direction to the impeller and having a screw thread formed on the outer circumferential face,

wherein the shaft combiner comprises a nut unit insert-injected to the impeller and formed for the screw projection to be combined with.
