A motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor rotatable about an axis, and a housing at least in part defining a motor chamber. The stator and the rotor at least in part are received within the motor chamber. The housing includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The housing portions engage one another along an interface. The interface restricts ingress of contaminants therethrough into the motor chamber. The housing portions cooperatively define a nested portion that at least in part defines the interface. The nested portion includes an arcuately extending projection and an arcuately extending receiver. The receiver defines an arcuately extending receiving channel. The projection is at least in part received within the receiving channel.

A rotor is connected to a shaft member and rotates about a central axis. The rotor includes a shaft hole having at least part of the shaft member disposed therein; and flow paths disposed around the shaft member and penetrating the rotor in a direction parallel with the central axis. Each flow path has a first surface facing outward in the radial direction; a second surface disposed outward of the first surface in the radial direction and facing the first surface; a third surface connecting the first and second surfaces at one end in a rotational direction about the central axis; a fourth surface connecting the first and second surfaces at the other end in the rotational direction. The condition C<D is satisfied, where C is the distance between both ends of the first surface, and D is the distance between both ends of the second surface.

Disclosed are a variable power motor and an intelligent controller therefor. The motor includes a rotor, a stator, a housing, stator windings and terminals. The stator windings are formed by embedding the same stator core into multiple series windings. Various series nodes of the stator windings, each serving as a power supply terminal with different power, are respectively led out individually. The various series windings of the stator respectively control, by means of the intelligent controller, the switching on and off of multiple switching switches. The soft-start and soft-stop of the motor can be realized, and a load is automatically tracked to regulate the power of the winding during operation, so as to obtain a power-saving effect.
