Abstract

A salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly includes a silicon steel sheet assembly, an insulation support assembly and an encapsulation layer. An inner side of the silicon steel sheet assembly defines a connection hole. A winding assembly is wound on the silicon steel sheet assembly and electrically connected with a circuit board. A first extension section protrudes from the silicon steel sheet assembly into the connection hole to cover a part of the inner side. A bearing cup covers the other part of the inner side. The encapsulation layer encapsulates the insulation support assembly, the winding assembly, the silicon steel sheet assembly and the circuit board so as to achieve salt spray resistant effect.

Claims (8)

1. A salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly, comprising:

a silicon steel sheet assembly having an upper side and a lower side and an outer side and an inner side connected between the upper and lower sides, the inner side circularly defining a connection hole;

an insulation support assembly including an upper insulation support and a lower insulation support, the upper and lower insulation supports being respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the silicon steel sheet assembly, a winding assembly being wound on the upper and lower insulation supports and electrically connected with a circuit board, a first extension section protruding from one side of the upper insulation support into the connection hole to cover a part of the inner side; and

an encapsulation layer integrally encapsulating the insulation support assembly, the winding assembly, the silicon steel sheet assembly and the circuit board, the first extension section and the inner side, which are not encapsulated by the encapsulation layer, being fitted with a bearing cup, an outer side of the bearing cup directly covering the other part of the inner side.

2. The salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bearing cup has a shoulder section protruding from the outer side of the bearing cup, the first extension section protruding into the connection hole to cover a part of the inner side of the silicon steel sheet assembly and abut against the shoulder section, an outer side of the shoulder section of the bearing cup directly covering the other part of the inner side of the silicon steel sheet assembly.

3. The salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper and lower insulation supports are non-integrally formed.

4. The salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one channel is longitudinally formed on the inner side of the silicon steel sheet assembly, at least one first rib section protruding from the outer side of the first extension section and longitudinally extending along the first extension section, the first rib section being inlaid and connected in the channel to cover the channel.

5. The salt spray resistant structure of fan motor assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner side of the silicon steel sheet assembly has a configuration identical to a configuration of the outer side of the bearing cup.
