Abstract

A motor includes a stator core that forms a magnetic path and has a plurality of tooth parts along a circumferential direction; a tooth provided in each tooth part to wind a coil there around; and an extension part alternated with the tooth part along a circumferential direction of the stator core, convexly extending to an inner radial direction.

Claims (19)

1. A motor comprising:

a bracket having an upper and lower bracket coupled each other to define an exterior of the motor:

a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the lower bracket, the PCB having a circuit pattern and various elements mounted thereon and a hollow formed on a center thereof;

a stator having a stator core, which forms a magnetic path, having a plurality of tooth parts along a circumferential direction and a tooth provided in each of the plurality of tooth parts, such that a coil is wound around the tooth, the stator being mounted on the PCB;

a rotor provided within the stator;

a shaft that rotates together with the rotor to transmit a rotational force of the rotor; and

a stopper that projects from an inside of the lower bracket and is inserted in the hollow to prevent interference between the rotor and the PCB, wherein an outer or inner diameter of the stopper is determined to enable the upper or lower surface of the rotor to contact with the stopper.

2. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the stator further comprises a bobbin provided at the tooth to having a coil wound around.

3. The motor of claim 2 , wherein the PCB is electrically connected to the coil through a fin formed at the bobbin and the stator is fixed to the PCB.

4. The motor of claim 3 , wherein some portion of the PCB is formed in a circular external shape corresponding to the circular external shape of the stator and an extension part outwardly is formed at a portion of the PCB in which a hole is formed to insert the fin therein.

5. The motor of claim 4 , wherein the shape of the bracket corresponds to the shape of the PCB.

6. The motor of claim 4 , wherein the outer shape of the bracket corresponds to the circular external shape of the PCB.

7. The motor of claim 1 , further comprising a connector having an end electrically connected to the PCB and the other end exposed outside of the bracket to be connected to an external power.

8. The motor of claim 7 , further comprising a reinforcing part formed as one body with the upper bracket or the lower bracket to reinforce a fixing strength of the connector as the upper bracket is coupled to the lower bracket.

9. The motor of claim 7 , wherein the connecter has a step and is provided within the upper and lower bracket.

10. The motor of claim 9 , further comprising a projection rib projected toward the connector.

11. The motor of claim 10 , wherein the projection rib contacts with the step of the connector as the upper and lower brackets are coupled.

12. The motor of claim 11 , wherein the step is formed as a groove and the projection rib is inserted in the groove.

13. The motor of claim 10 , wherein the projection rib is formed as one body with the upper bracket or the lower bracket.
