(42) FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the rotor in FIG. 1.

(43) Referring to FIG. 3, the rotor 20 may include a rotor core 100, a magnet 200, a bearing holder 300, a first bearing 400, and a second bearing 500. Here, the first bearing 400 and the second bearing 500 are accommodated in the bearing holder 300. The first bearing 400 may be disposed relatively further upward than the second bearing 500.

(44) FIG. 4 is a view illustrating the rotor core shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a view illustrating the rotor core in which the magnets are disposed. The following descriptions will be made with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

(45) The rotor core 100 may include a hub 110 and a tooth 121. A hole 111 is disposed at the center of the hub 110. The bearing holder 300 is coupled to the hole 111. A guide groove 112 is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the hub 110. The guide groove 112 may be disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the hub 110 to be recessed in a radial direction of the rotor core 100. The guide groove 112 serves to guide the bearing holder 300 when the bearing holder 300 is inserted into the hole 111. In addition, a plurality of protrusions 113 may be disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the hub 110. The protrusions 113 may protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the hub 110. The protrusions 113 serve to support an inner surface 210 of the magnet 200 mounted in a pocket 131. A plurality of teeth 121 are radially arranged on the hub 110. In addition, the plurality of teeth 121 are arranged along a circumference of the hub 110 at regular intervals.

(46) The rotor core 100 includes a pocket portion 130. The pocket portion 130 includes a plurality of pockets 131. Here, the pocket 131 is defined as a separation space between the tooth 121 and the tooth 121. An inner side of the pocket 131 in the radial direction of the rotor core 100 is closed due to the hub 110 and an outer side of the pocket 131 in the radial direction of the rotor core 100 is open. The magnet 200 is disposed in the pocket 131. A planar shape of the pocket 131 may be rectangular. A protruding portion 121a may be disposed at an end of the tooth 121. The protruding portion 121a may protrude toward the pocket 131 from a side surface of the end of the tooth 121. The protruding portion 121a serves to inhibit the magnet 200 disposed in the pocket 131 from being separated from the pocket 131 in the radial direction of the rotor core 100. Meanwhile, the rotor core 100 may be formed by stacking a plurality of plates having a circular thin steel sheet shape.

(47) The magnet 200 may be disposed in the pocket 131 such that long sides thereof are disposed in the radial direction of the rotor core 100 in a cross-sectional view. Such an arrangement of the magnet 200 may increase the arrangement density of the magnet 200, thereby increasing the performance of the motor. The pocket 131 includes open upper and lower sides. Accordingly, the magnet 200 may be separated from the pocket 131 in an axial direction of the rotor core 100. In order to inhibit this, the bearing holder 300 is provided.

(48) FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a cylinder portion and a flange portion of the bearing holder shown in FIG. 3.

(49) A bearing holder 300A inhibits the magnet 200 from being separated from the pocket 131 (in FIG. 4) toward an upper side of the rotor core 100. In addition, the bearing holder 300A serves to fix the first bearing 400 and the second bearing 500. The bearing holder 300A may include a cylinder portion 310A and a flange portion 320A.

(50) An accommodation space for accommodating the first bearing 400 and the second bearing 500 is formed inside the cylinder portion 310A.

(51) The flange portion 320A may have a disc shape. The flange portion 320A may be disposed to extend in a radial direction of the cylinder portion 310A from an upper end of the cylinder portion 310A. A lower surface of the flange portion 320A is disposed on an upper surface of the rotor core 100 to inhibit the magnet 200 (in FIG. 5) from being separated from the pocket 131 (in FIG. 5) toward the upper side of the rotor core 100. The lower surface of the flange portion 320A may be in contact with the upper surface of the rotor core 100. A fastening portion 321A protrudes from an upper surface of the flange portion 320A. The fastening portion 321A is coupled to the fan. A plurality of fastening portions 321A may be provided.

(52) FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a cylinder portion and a flange portion of a bearing holder according to a modified example.

(53) A bearing holder 300B inhibits the magnet 200 from being separated from the pocket 131 (in FIG. 4) toward the upper side of the rotor core 100. In addition, the bearing holder 300B serves to fix only the first bearing 400 among the first bearing 400 and the second bearing 500. The second bearing 500 is fixed by a guide 333 of a plate 330 in FIG. 8. The bearing holder 300B may include a cylinder portion 310B and a flange portion 320B.

(54) An accommodation space for accommodating the first bearing 400 is formed inside the cylinder portion 310B. The cylinder portion 310B may be formed of a plurality of fragments. The flange portion 320B may have a disc shape. A fastening portion 321B protrudes from an upper surface of the flange portion 320B. The fastening portion 321B may be a fragment in which a portion of the flange portion 320B is cut and bent upward. The cylinder portion 310B may be a fragment bent downward from the flange portion 320B. The fastening portion 321B is coupled to the fan.

(55) FIG. 8 is a view illustrating the plate, and FIG. 9 is a side cross-sectional view of the bearing holder in which the first bearing and the second bearing are accommodated.

(56) Referring to FIG. 8, the plate 330 may be disposed on a lower surface of the rotor core 100. The plate 330 may include a base 331 having a disc shape. A hole 332 is disposed in a center of the base 331. A plurality of guides 333 may be arranged at regular intervals along a circumference of the hole 332. The guide 333 may be formed by being bent upward from an inner wall of the hole 332. When the plate 330 is coupled to a lower surface of a cylinder portion 310, the guide 333 may be press-fitted along a groove 316 of a second region 312 of the cylinder portion 310. Alternatively, the guide 333 may be directly press-fitted on an inner circumferential surface of the rotor core. The second bearing 500 is disposed inside the guide 333. An inner circumferential surface of the guide 333 is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of an outer ring of the second bearing 500. An upper surface of the plate 330 is disposed on the lower surface of the rotor core 100 to inhibit the magnet 200 from being separated from the pocket 131 toward a lower side of the rotor core 100.

(57) Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the cylinder portion 310A may include a first region 311 and the second region 312. The first region 311 and the second region 312 are inserted into the hole 111 (in FIG. 4) of the rotor core 100 (in FIG. 4). The first bearing 400 may be disposed by being press-fitted into the first region 311. A first step 313 may be disposed in the first region 311. The first step 313 protrudes from an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder portion 310A and is in contact with a lower surface of the first bearing 400. In addition, the first step 313 serves to distinguish the first region 311 from the second region 312. The second bearing 500 may be disposed by being press-fitted into the second region 312. Meanwhile, a second step 314 may be disposed in the second region 312. The second step 314 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder portion 310A and is in contact with an upper surface of the second bearing 500. The second step 314 also serves to distinguish the first region 311 from the second region 312.

(58) A guide protrusion 315A may be disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder portion 310A. The guide protrusion 315A is inserted into the guide groove 112 disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the hub 110 of the rotor core 100. The groove 316 may be disposed in the second region 312 of the cylinder portion 310A. The groove 316 is for coupling with the plate 330.

(59) FIG. 10 is a view illustrating the motor and the fan shown in FIG. 1.

(60) Referring to FIG. 10, the fastening portion 321 is coupled to a hub 21 of a fan 2. The hub 21 may be provided with coupling holes 21a to which the fastening portions 321 are coupled. The plurality of fastening portions 321 are arranged to be aligned with the coupling holes 21a of the hub 21.

(61) FIG. 11 is a view illustrating an upper surface of the rotor shown in FIG. 3.

(62) Referring to FIG. 11, an outer diameter R1 of the flange portion 320A is less than an outer diameter R2 of the rotor core 100 on the basis of a center C of the rotor 20. For example, the outer diameter R1 of the flange portion 320A may range from 65% to 95% of the outer diameter R2 of the rotor core 100. When the outer diameter R1 of the flange portion 320A is less than 65% of the outer diameter R2 of the rotor core 100, there is a great risk in that the magnet 200 may not be sufficiently inhibited from being separated from the pocket 131. In addition, there is a problem in that coupling safety with the fan 2 is poor because the fastening portion 321 is disposed too close to the center C of the bearing holder 300A. When the outer diameter RI of the flange portion 320A is greater than 95% of the outer diameter R2 of the rotor core 100, there is a problem in that dimensional management of the gap with the stator 30 is difficult. Meanwhile, here, the outer diameter R2 of the rotor core 100 refers to the longest distance from the center C of the rotor 20 to an outer circumferential surface of the rotor core 100.

(63) FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the plate shown in FIG. 8 viewed from below.

(64) Referring to FIG. 12, the plate 330 may be disposed on the lower surface of the rotor core 100. The plate 330 may include the base 331 having a disc shape. The hole 332 is disposed in the center of the base 331. The plurality of guides 333 may be arranged at regular intervals along the circumference of the hole 332. The guide 333 may be formed by being bent upward from the inner wall of the hole 332. When the plate 330 is coupled to a lower surface of the cylinder portion 310A, the guide 333 may be press-fitted along the groove 316 of the second region 312 of the cylinder portion 310A. The second bearing 500 is disposed inside the guide 333. The inner circumferential surface of the guide 333 is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the second bearing 500. The upper surface of the plate 330 is disposed on the lower surface of the rotor core 100 to inhibit the magnet 200 from being separated from the pocket 131 toward the lower side of the rotor core 100.

(65) A lower surface of the plate 330 may be in contact with the upper surface of the rotor core 100. A through hole 334 having an elongated shape may be disposed in the base 331. A plurality of through holes 334 may be radially arranged around the hole 332. The through hole 334 may become a passage through which air introduced from the upper side of the rotor core 100 is discharged. Alternatively, the through hole 334 may become a passage through which air introduced from the lower side of the rotor core 100 enters. The plate 330 may include a protruding portion 335. The protruding portion 335 is disposed to protrude downward from the plate 330 and may be disposed to extend in a radial direction of the plate 330. For example, the protruding portion 335 may be formed by extending from a sidewall of the through hole 334 and being bent upward.

(66) The printed circuit board 70 may be disposed on the lower surface of the first cover 60, and heat generated from the printed circuit board 70 may be transmitted toward the rotor 20 and the stator 30 through the first cover 60. In addition, heat is also generated in the coil of the stator 30. The protruding portion 335 serves to increase the contact area with air at a lower side of the plate 330, thereby cooling the hot air. In addition, the protruding portion 335 serves as a blade as the rotor core 100 rotates to cause air flow in the rotor core 100, thereby enhancing a heat dissipation effect.

(67) FIG. 13 is a bottom view of the plate shown in FIG. 8.

(68) Referring to FIG. 13, a length L1 of the protruding portion 335 may be less than a length L4 of the through hole 334. Thus, a separation space such as “A” may be generated at a boundary between the protruding portion 335 and the through hole 334 in a longitudinal direction of the through hole 334.

(69) FIG. 14 is a bottom view of the rotor shown in FIG. 3.

(70) Referring to FIG. 14, sealants 336 may be applied to the lower surface of the plate 330. The sealants 336 may be arranged to form an annular shape in a circumferential direction of the plate 330. The sealants 336 may be arranged with a boundary between the protruding portion 335 and the protruding portion 335 therebetween. A plurality of sealants 336 may be disposed. The sealant 336 may be disposed across the through hole 334. The sealant 336 may be disposed to pass through a separation space such as “A” in FIG. 13 in which the protruding portion 335 is not formed. The sealant 336 may be continuously disposed to form an annular shape in the circumferential direction of the plate 330. The sealant 336 located in the through hole 334 is in contact with the magnet 200 and the lower surface of the rotor core 100 exposed through the through hole 334. Thus, together with the plate 330, the sealant 336 may further inhibit the magnet 200 from being separated from the pocket 131 toward the lower side of the rotor core 100.

(71) FIG. 15 is a view illustrating the stator shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view of the stator shown in FIG. 15.

(72) Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the stator core 31 includes a yoke 1000 having an annular shape and a plurality of teeth 2000 protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the yoke 1000. In addition, the insulator 40 is mounted on the stator core 31. The insulator 40 may include an upper insulator 3000 and a lower insulator 4000.

(73) The upper insulator 3000 is mounted on an upper side of the stator core 31, and the lower insulator 4000 is mounted on a lower side of the stator core 31.

(74) FIG. 17 is a side view of the stator shown in FIG. 15. The following descriptions will be made with reference to FIGS. 15 and 17.

(75) The yoke 1000 may include a first region 1100 and a second region 1200 on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The first region 1100 and the second region 1200 are divided in a height direction (a y-axis direction in FIG. 17) of the yoke 1000. In FIG. 17, an x-axis direction is a radial direction of the stator 30. The second region 1100 is a region disposed outside the first cover 60. On the other hand, the first region 1100 is a region disposed inside the first cover 60. A step 61 in contact with a lower surface of the yoke 1000 may be disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the first cover 60.

(76) The stator 30 is press-fitted into the first cover 60 through an open upper portion of the first cover 60. In this case, the first region 1100 is a region that is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the first cover 60, and the second region 1200 is a region disposed above the first cover 60. As described above, only the lower side of the stator 30 is partially inserted into the first cover 60 and is fixed to the first cover 60. An upper side of the stator 30 is in an open state without a separate cover, and the lower side of the stator 30 is in a closed state due to the first cover 60. The motor according to the embodiment eliminates a housing structure in which both the upper side and the lower side of the stator 30 are covered, thereby simplifying components and lightening a product.

(77) The upper insulator 3000 may include an upper body 3100 having an annular shape and a plurality of upper side coil winding parts 3200. The plurality of upper side coil winding parts 3200 may be formed to extend inwardly from the upper body 3100. Each of the plurality of upper side coil winding parts 3200 covers each of the plurality of teeth 2000.

(78) FIG. 18 is a side view of the stator shown in FIG. 15.

(79) Referring to FIGS. 1, 17, and 18, the upper body 3100 may include an upper surface portion 3110 and a first outer side surface portion 3120. An inner circumferential surface of the first outer side surface portion 3120 is in contact with the second region 1200 to cover the second region 1200. When the stator 30 is press-fitted into the first cover 60, the second region 1200 is exposed to the outside unlike the first region 1100. The upper body 3100 is generally made of steel and thus has a risk of rust being generated thereon when moisture is in contact therewith. Thus, the first outer side surface portion 3120 protects the stator 30 by covering the exposed second region 1200.

(80) The lower insulator 4000 may include a lower body 4100 having an annular shape and a plurality of lower side coil winding parts 4200. The plurality of lower side coil winding parts 4200 may be formed to extend inwardly from the lower body 4100. Each of the plurality of lower side coil winding parts 4200 covers each of the plurality of teeth 2000.

(81) The lower body 4100 may include a lower surface portion 4110 and a second outer side surface portion 4120. An upper surface of the second outer side surface portion 4120 may be in contact with a lower surface of the stator core 31. When the stator 30 is press-fitted into the first cover 60, the lower insulator 4000 is located inside the first cover 60.

(82) FIG. 20 is a view illustrating a terminal groove of the lower insulator shown in FIG. 16.

(83) Referring to FIG. 20, the lower body 4100 may include a terminal groove 4130. The busbar terminal 50 (in FIGS. 1 and 2) may be accommodated in the terminal groove 4130. The terminal groove 4130 implements a space for accommodating the busbar terminal 50 (in FIGS. 1 and 2) through a structure having a plurality of partition walls. An upper portion of the lower body 4100 is open so that the busbar terminal 50 (in FIGS. 1 and 2) may be accommodated in the terminal groove 4130. Thus, a cover 4140 covering the terminal groove 4130 may be provided. The cover 4140 may be in the form of an annular-shaped plate. An upper surface of the cover 4140 may be in contact with an upper surface of the stator core 31.

(84) FIG. 19 is a view comparing a diameter of the insulator and a diameter of the first cover.

(85) Referring to FIG. 19, an outer diameter D1 of the upper insulator 3000 may be greater than an inner diameter D2 of the first cover 60 and less than an outer diameter D3 of the first cover 60. In addition, an outer diameter D4 of the lower insulator 4000 may be less than the inner diameter D2 of the first cover 60.

(86) FIG. 21 is a side view of the motor shown in FIG. 1.

(87) Referring to FIG. 21, in a state in which the stator 30 is press-fitted into the first cover 60, the upper insulator 3000 covers and protects the exposed portion of the stator 30. As shown in FIG. 19, a gap G may be formed between a lower end of the upper insulator 3000 and an upper end of the first cover 60.

(88) FIG. 22 is a plan view illustrating the stator.

(89) Referring to FIG. 22, it may include a groove portion 1300 that is concavely disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the yoke 1000 of the stator core 31. The groove portion 1300 may be disposed to be long from an upper end to a lower end of the yoke 1000. The groove portion 1300 is for easily adjusting a press-fitting force when the stator 30 is press-fitted into the first cover 60.
