Abstract

An electric motor includes a back yoke provided as an outermost layer of a stator, a stator core including a first teeth portion protruding from the back yoke toward the center portion of the stator and a second teeth portion protruding upwards from the external upper surface of the first teeth portion, a coil winding around the stator core, and a rotor in which a permanent magnet is mounted on the rotor core and which rotates through a magnetic interaction with the stator.

Claims (41)

1 . An electric motor comprising:

a back yoke provided as an outermost layer of a stator;

a stator core including at least two teeth portions including:

a first teeth portion protruding from the back yoke toward a center portion of the stator; and

a second teeth portion protruding upwards from an external upper surface of the first teeth portion;

a coil winding around the stator core; and

a rotor, wherein a permanent magnet is mounted on a rotor core of the rotor and wherein the rotor rotates through a magnetic interaction with the stator,

wherein the at least two teeth portions of the stator core further includes a third teeth portion protruding upwards from an internal upper surface of the first teeth portion, and

wherein the coil includes:

a first coil portion winding around the first teeth portion;

a second coil portion winding around the second teeth portion, and

a third coil portion winding around the third teeth portion, and

wherein the first and second coil portions are connected to each other at end portions thereof and the first and third coil portions are connected to each other at end portions thereof so that a single coil winding around the stator core is formed.

2 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein the back yoke includes a first support portion positioned on a lower surface of the stator core and protruding toward the center portion of the stator.

3 . The motor of claim 2 , wherein a length of the first support portion protruding in a direction of the center portion of the stator is greater than a length of the first teeth portion in the direction of the center portion of the stator.

4 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the first coil portion includes windings around first and second sides of the first teeth portion and an internal surface thereof facing the center portion of the stator while the second coil portion includes windings around first and second sides and an upper surface of the second teeth portion, and

wherein the first and second coil portions are connected to each other at first and second end portions thereof on first and second sides of the stator core.

5 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein the coil is attached to the stator core and is secured to the stator core by applying a fixing material.

6 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet on the rotor is disposed on a front surface of the rotor core to face the stator.

7 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein the stator is positioned on first and second sides of the rotor so that the rotor is positioned within the stator and the permanent magnet is attached to a surface of the rotor core or inserted into the rotor core.

8 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein the third teeth portion is spaced toward the center portion of the state from the second teeth portion by a predetermined length.

9 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the first coil portion includes windings around first and second sides of the first teeth portion,

wherein the second coil portion includes windings around first and second sides and the external upper surface of the second teeth portion, and

wherein the third coil portion includes windings around first and second sides and an upper surface of the third teeth portion, and

wherein the first and second coil portions are connected to each other at the end portions thereof at a rear of the stator core on first and second sides thereof and the first and third coil portion are connected to each other at the end portions thereof at a front of the stator core on first and second sides thereof.

10 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the back yoke includes a first support portion positioned on a lower surface of the stator core and protruding toward the stator center, and

wherein a length of the first support portion in a direction of the center portion of the stator is greater than a length of the first teeth portion in the direction of the center portion of the stator.

11 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the back yoke includes a second support portion extending in a height direction of the stator at the center portion of the stator and formed in a circumferential direction of the stator at the center portion of the stator, and

wherein a through hole for a shaft to pass through is formed at the center portion of the second support portion.

12 . The motor of claim 11 , wherein the second support portion is in contact with an internal surface of the first teeth portion facing the center portion of the stator and includes a length in the height direction equal to or greater than a height of the back yoke.

13 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the permanent magnet on the rotor is disposed on a front surface of the rotor core to face the stator, and

wherein a transverse width of the permanent magnet on the rotor is less than a width of a space between the second and third teeth portions so that the permanent magnet is positioned in the space between the second and third teeth portions.

14 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the stator is positioned on first and second sides of the rotor so that the rotor is positioned within the stator and the permanent magnet is attached to a surface of the rotor core or inserted into the rotor core, and

wherein a transverse width of the rotor is less than a width of a space between the second and the third teeth portions.

15 . The motor of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least two teeth portions is repeatedly formed in circumferential direction of the stator core with a predetermined angle.
