Abstract

Provided herein is a fan motor including a columnar portion including a first accommodating portion, a second accommodating portion, and a third accommodating portion, wherein the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion are disposed at an upper portion and a lower portion, respectively, and have an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of an inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion, the third accommodating portion is disposed between the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion, an inner diameter of the third accommodating portion is smaller than a diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion, and the inner diameter of the first accommodating portion and the inner diameter of the second accommodating portion are larger than the diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion.

Claims (33)

1. A fan motor comprising:

a rotating shaft;

a stator including a hole in which the rotating shaft is disposed;

a rotor disposed outside the stator;

a fan coupled to the rotating shaft; and

a housing disposed below the fan, wherein:

the housing includes a columnar portion protruding upward in a cylindrical shape from a lower surface of the housing and having an inner circumferential surface;

the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the columnar portion;

the columnar portion is disposed inside the stator;

the rotating shaft is disposed inside the columnar portion;

the stator is coupled to an outer side of the columnar portion;

the rotor is coupled to the rotating shaft and disposed outside the stator;

the fan is coupled to the rotating shaft;

the columnar portion includes a first accommodating portion, a second accommodating portion, and a third accommodating portion;

the third accommodating portion is disposed between the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion;

the inner circumferential surface is disposed between the third accommodating portion and the first accommodating portion and between the second accommodating portion and the third accommodating portion, respectively;

the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion have an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion, respectively;

the third accommodating portion has inner diameter is smaller than a diameter of the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion; and

wherein a boundary between the third accommodating portion and the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion comprises a chamfered surface.

2. The fan motor of claim 1 , further comprising a ball bearing,

wherein the ball bearing is disposed at the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion.

3. The fan motor of claim 1 , further comprising a sintered bearing,

wherein the sintered bearing is disposed at the third accommodating portion.

4. The fan motor of claim 3 , wherein in the radial direction, the sintered bearing and the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion are disposed to be spaced apart from each other.

5. The fan motor of claim 4 , wherein in the radial direction, the sintered bearing and the chamfered surface are disposed to be spaced apart from each other.

6. The fan motor of claim 1 , wherein the columnar portion comprises a spatial portion having an inner diameter larger than the inner diameter of the second accommodating portion below the second accommodating portion.

7. The fan motor of claim 2 , wherein:

the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion comprise a washer; and

the first accommodating portion comprises a damper disposed between the washer and the ball bearing.

8. The fan motor of claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the first accommodating portion and the inner diameter of the second accommodating portion are the same.

9. The fan motor of claim 3 , further comprising a spatial portion disposed between the sintered bearing and the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion.

10. The fan motor of claim 3 , wherein an inner diameter of the sintered bearing in an area horizontally corresponding to the third accommodating portion and an inner diameter of the sintered bearing in an area horizontally corresponding to the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion are different.

11. The fan motor of claim 2 , further comprising a stepped portion disposed between the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion and the inner circumferential surface of the columnar portion so that the ball bearing is seated thereon.
