Abstract

An embodiment relates to a rotor and a motor including the same, the rotor comprising: a rotor core; coils wound around the rotor core; covers respectively arranged at the upper part of the rotor core, wherein the cover includes: a main body disposed at the rotor core; a plurality of blades arranged on the upper surface of the main body; and at least two first protruding parts protruding in the axial direction from the upper surface of the main body. Therefore, the rotor and the motor including the same can perform a balance correction operation.

Claims (36)

1. A rotor comprising:

a rotor core;

a coil wound around the rotor core; and

covers disposed on the rotor core,

wherein each of the covers includes a main body disposed on the rotor core, a plurality of blades disposed on an upper surface of the main body, at least two first protruding parts protruding from the upper surface of the main body in an axial direction, and at least two second protruding parts, wherein:

the main body includes a plate disposed on the rotor core and disposed to cover the coil, and a sleeve protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the plate in an axial direction,

the first protruding parts protrude in the axial direction from an upper surface of the plate which covers the coil, and the second protruding parts protrude in the axial direction from a lower surface of the plate which covers the coil, and

wherein outer side surfaces of the first protruding parts and outer side surfaces of the second protruding parts are disposed on a same vertical line corresponding to the axial direction.

2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein:

the plate is disposed between the first protruding parts and the second protruding parts; and

the second protruding parts extend the first protruding parts in a downward direction.

3. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein the second protruding parts protrude in an inward direction from an inner circumferential surface of the sleeve.

4. The rotor of claim 3 , wherein the first protruding parts are disposed to protrude inward from an outer edge of the plate, and are disposed between the blades.

5. The rotor of claim 4 , wherein some of the outer side surfaces of the first protruding parts and the outer circumferential surface of the plate have the same curvature.

6. The rotor of claim 4 , wherein a height of the first protruding part is smaller than a height of the blade.

7. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein a groove is concavely formed in an upper surface of each of the first protruding parts.

8. A motor comprising:

a shaft;

a rotor in which the shaft is disposed;

a stator disposed at an outer side of the rotor; and

a housing disposed at the stator,

wherein the rotor includes a rotor core, a coil wound around the rotor core, and covers disposed on the rotor core, and

each of the covers includes a main body disposed on the rotor core, a plurality of blades disposed on an upper surface of the main body, at least two first protruding parts protruding from the upper surface of the main body in an axial direction, and at least two second protruding parts, wherein:

the main body includes a plate disposed on the rotor core and disposed to cover the coil, and a sleeve protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the plate in an axial direction,

the first protruding parts protrude in the axial direction from an upper surface of the plate which covers the coil, and the second protruding parts protrude in the axial direction from a lower surface of the plate which covers the coil, and

wherein outer side surfaces of the first protruding parts and outer side surfaces of the second protruding parts are disposed on a same vertical line corresponding to the axial direction.

9. The motor of claim 8 ,

wherein the second protruding parts extend the first protruding parts in a downward direction with respect to the main body.

10. The motor of claim 9 , wherein a groove is concavely formed in an upper surface of each of the first protruding parts.

11. The motor of claim 8 , wherein:

the housing includes a first housing disposed on the stator, and a second housing disposed under the stator; and

a housing hole is formed in each of outer circumferential surfaces of the first housing and the second housing.

12. The motor of claim 11 , wherein heat generated from the rotor moves in a radial direction due to rotation of the blades and is discharged through the housing holes.

13. The motor of claim 12 , wherein:

the main body further includes a plurality of cover holes formed along a circumferential direction; and

heat generated from the coil of the rotor is discharged through the cover holes formed in the main body.
