Spindle motor and manufacturing method thereof
A spindle motor is provided, the motor including a bearing assembly including an upper end-opened cylindrical bearing housing and a bearing inserted into the bearing housing and formed with a rotation shaft hole, a stator including a core coupled to a periphery of the bearing housing and formed with at least one core through hole that passes an upper surface and a bottom surface, and a coil wound on the core, a base plate including a floor plate opposite to the bottom surface of the core and a core fixture protruded from the floor plate to be coupled to the core through hole, and a rotor including a rotation shaft coupled to the rotation shaft hole, a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft, and a magnet formed at the yoke in opposition to the core.
1. A spindle motor, comprising:
a bearing assembly including an upper end-opened cylindrical bearing housing and a bearing inserted into the bearing housing and formed with a rotation shaft hole;
a stator including a core coupled to a periphery of the bearing housing and formed with at least one core through hole that passes an upper surface and a bottom surface, and a coil wound on the core;
a base plate including a floor plate opposite to the bottom surface of the core and a core fixture protruded from the floor plate to be coupled to the core through hole, wherein an opening is formed in a center of the floor plate and a diameter of the opening is greater than an outermost diameter of the bearing housing such that a gap is formed between a lateral surface of the bearing housing and a lateral surface of the core fixture formed at the floor plate; and
a rotor including a rotation shaft coupled to the rotation shaft hole, a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft, and a magnet formed at the yoke in opposition to the core.
2. The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein at least two core through holes formed at the core are provided, each spaced at an equidistant interval from the other.
3. The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein at least two core through holes formed at the core are provided, each spaced at a different interval from the other.
4. The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein the core fixture coupled to the core through hole takes one of the shapes including a rectangular parallelepiped plate, a curved plate and a boss shape.
5. The spindle motor of claim 1 , wherein the core fixture passes the core through hole to protrude and bend upward of the core.
6. A spindle motor, comprising:
a bearing assembly including an upper end-opened cylindrical bearing housing and a bearing inserted into the bearing housing and formed with a rotation shaft hole;
a stator including a core coupled to a periphery of the bearing housing and formed with at least one core through hole that passes an upper surface and a bottom surface, and a coil wound on the core;
a base plate including a core fixture formed with a first core fixture protruded from a floor plate opposite to the bottom surface, a second core fixture bent from the first core fixture to support the bottom surface, and a third core fixture bent from the second core fixture to be coupled with the core through hole; and
a rotor including a rotation shaft coupled to the rotation shaft hole, a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft, and a magnet formed at the yoke in opposition to the core.
7. The spindle motor of claim 6 , wherein the first core fixture is perpendicularly protruded from the floor plate, and the third core fixture is bent in parallel with the first core fixture.
8. The spindle motor of claim 6 , wherein the third core fixture passes the core through hole to protrude and bend from the upper surface of the core.
9. A spindle motor, comprising:
a bearing assembly including an upper end-opened cylindrical bearing housing and a bearing inserted into the bearing housing and formed with a rotation shaft hole;
a stator including a core coupled to a periphery of the bearing housing and formed with at least one core through hole that passes an upper surface and a bottom surface, and a coil wound on the core;
a base plate including a floor plate, a first core fixture formed with a size larger than that of the core through hole to support the bottom surface of the core, and a second core fixture protruded from an upper surface of the first core fixture to be coupled to the core through hole, wherein an opening is formed in a center of the floor plate and a diameter of the opening is greater than an outermost diameter of the bearing housing such that a gap is formed between a lateral surface of the bearing housing and a lateral surface of the first core fixture or the second core fixture formed at the floor plate; and
a rotor including a rotation shaft coupled to the rotation shaft hole, a yoke coupled to the rotation shaft, and a magnet formed at the yoke in opposition to the core.
10. The spindle motor of claim 9 , wherein the second core fixture passes the core to protrude and bend from an upper surface of the core.
