Abstract

The present invention may provide a motor comprising: a rotation shaft; a rotor including a coupling hole in which the rotation shaft is disposed; a stator disposed outside the rotor; and a housing for receiving the rotor and the stator, wherein the housing comprises: a body; a bracket disposed on one side of the body and including a hole and a bearing pocket part disposed along the circumferential direction with respect to the center of the hole; and a bearing disposed in the bearing pocket part, wherein the inner surface of the bearing pocket part includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, and wherein the first surface comes in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the bearing, the second surface comes in contact with the upper surface of the bearing, and the third surface is disposed between the first surface and the second surface in the height direction of the bracket while being spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the bearing.

Claims (49)

1. A motor comprising:

a rotation shaft;

a rotor including a coupling hole in which the rotation shaft is disposed;

a stator disposed outside the rotor; and

a housing configured to receive the rotor and the stator,

wherein the housing includes a body and a bracket disposed on one side of the body,

wherein the bracket includes a hole through which the rotation shaft passes, a bearing pocket part disposed along a circumferential direction about a center of the hole, and a bearing disposed in the bearing pocket part,

wherein an uppermost surface of the bearing is exposed through the hole in the bracket,

wherein an inner surface of the bearing pocket part includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, the second surface being perpendicular to the first surface and the third surface,

wherein the first surface is in direct physical contact with an outer circumferential surface of the bearing,

wherein at least a portion of the second surface is in direct physical contact with the uppermost surface of the bearing,

wherein the third surface is disposed between the first surface and the second surface in a height direction of the bracket while being spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the bearing,

wherein a gap is formed between the third surface and the bearing and the second surface is exposed to the gap, and

wherein a lower surface of the bearing pocket part is in contact with a lower surface of the bearing.

2. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the bearing pocket part includes a lower inner diameter portion connected to a lower surface of the bearing pocket part, and an upper inner diameter portion connected to an upper surface of the bearing pocket part and having an inner diameter greater than an inner diameter of the lower inner diameter portion, and

a sum of a height of the lower inner diameter portion and a height of the upper inner diameter portion is greater than a height of the bearing based on the lower surface of the bearing pocket part and is smaller than a height of the upper surface of the bearing pocket part based on the lower surface of the bearing pocket part.

3. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the second surface is connected to the third surface.

4. The motor of claim 3 , wherein

the first surface is connected to a lower surface of the bearing pocket portion.

5. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the bracket includes a guide protruding from an upper surface of the bracket and disposed to be radially symmetrical about the center of the hole.

6. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the bracket includes a guide protruding from an upper surface of the bracket and disposed to be radially symmetrical about the hole, the guide protruding away from the upper surface of the bracket in a first direction parallel to the rotation shaft.

7. The motor of claim 6 , wherein the guide is annularly disposed along a circumferential direction about a center of the hole.

8. The motor of claim 6 , wherein the concave groove is disposed in the upper surface of the bracket annularly around the guide, and

wherein the bracket includes a damper disposed in the groove.

9. The motor of claim 6 , wherein the guide includes a concavo-convex portion disposed along an outer circumferential surface of the guide.

10. The motor of claim 6 , comprising a sensing magnet coupled to the rotation shaft and configured to detect a position of the rotor.

11. The motor of claim 10 , comprising a printed circuit board comprising a sensor disposed thereon, the sensor being configured to detect a magnetic force of the sensing magnet.

12. The motor of claim 11 , the sensor being a Hall integrated circuit.

13. The motor of claim 1 , comprising a sensing magnet coupled to the rotation shaft and configured to detect a position of the rotor.

14. The motor of claim 13 , comprising a printed circuit board comprising a sensor disposed thereon, the sensor being configured to detect a magnetic force of the sensing magnet.

15. The motor of claim 14 , the sensor being a Hall integrated circuit.

16. A motor comprising:

a rotation shaft;

a rotor including a hole in which the rotation shaft is disposed;

a stator disposed outside the rotor; and

a housing configured to receive the rotor and the stator,

wherein the housing includes a body and a bracket configured to cover the body and including a hole at a center thereof,

the bracket includes a guide protruding from an upper surface of the bracket and disposed to be radially symmetrical about the hole, the guide protruding away from the upper surface of the bracket in a first direction parallel to the rotation shaft,

wherein a width of the guide, measured in a radial direction perpendicular to the rotation shaft, is constant around an entire circumference of the guide,

wherein the guide comprises an inclined surface disposed at an upper end of the guide, the inclined surface being included around the entire circumference of the guide,

wherein the bracket includes a concave groove disposed in the upper surface of the bracket, the concave groove including a bottom surface that faces the first direction,

wherein the bracket includes a bearing pocket part disposed along a circumferential direction about a center of the hole, and a bearing disposed in the bearing pocket part,

wherein an uppermost surface of the bearing is exposed through the hole in the bracket,

wherein an inner surface of the bearing pocket part includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, the second surface being perpendicular to the first surface and the third surface,

wherein the first surface is in direct physical contact with an outer circumferential surface of the bearing,

wherein at least a portion of the second surface is in direct physical contact with the uppermost surface of the bearing,

wherein the third surface is disposed between the first surface and the second surface in a height direction of the bracket while being spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the bearing,

wherein a gap is formed between the third surface and the bearing and the second surface is exposed to the gap, and

wherein a lower surface of the bearing pocket part is in contact with a lower surface of the bearing.
