(20) Referring to
(21) Although an upper side and a lower side are clearly divided by a Z-axis illustrated in
(22) The motor 1 may include a housing 100 in which openings are formed at one side (upper side) and the other side (lower side) of the housing 100, a stator 200 disposed in the housing 100, a rotor 300 disposed in the housing 100 to be rotatable with respect to the stator 200, a rotating shaft 400 configured to rotate with the rotor 300, a motor cover 500 coupled to the lower side of the housing 100, a sealing guide 600 or 600a coupled to an upper side of the housing 100, and a sensor magnet assembly 700. Here, the stator 200 may include a terminal 220, and an upper end of the terminal 220 may be exposed at the outside of the housing 100.
(23) The housing 100 may include a first accommodation groove 110 in which the stator 200 and the rotor 300 are disposed, a second accommodation groove 120 which is formed to communicate with the first accommodation groove 110 and in which one end of the rotating shaft 400 is disposed, and a third accommodation groove 130 disposed to be connected to the second accommodation groove 120. Here, the second accommodation groove 120 may include a rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a in which the rotating shaft 400 is disposed and a terminal accommodation groove 120b in which the terminal 220 is disposed.
(24) An opening 111 may be formed at one side of the first accommodation groove 110. That is, the opening 111 may be formed at a lower side of the first accommodation groove 110, and the stator 200, the rotor 300, and the rotating shaft 400 may be inserted through the opening 111. Here, the first accommodation groove 110 may be formed in a cylindrical shape having a size suitable for inserting and positioning the stator 200.
(25) In addition, as a first through hole 113 is formed in a support surface 112 formed at one side of the first accommodation groove 110, the first accommodation groove 110 may communicate with the second accommodation groove 120. Accordingly, one end of the rotating shaft 400 inserted into the first accommodation groove 110 may pass through the first accommodation groove 110 and be disposed in the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a of the second accommodation groove 120 through the first through hole 113.
(26) One end of the rotating shaft 400 inserted through the first accommodation groove 110 may be disposed in the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a. Here, a diameter of the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a may be less than that of the first accommodation groove 110.
(27) Accordingly, when the rotating shaft 400 is disposed in the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a, the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a may guide insertion and installation of the rotating shaft 400.
(28) The terminal 220 of the stator 200 inserted through the first accommodation groove 110 may be disposed in the terminal accommodation groove 120b. Here, a width of the terminal accommodation groove 120b may be less than a diameter of the first accommodation groove 110.
(29) In addition, the width of the terminal accommodation groove 120b may be defined in consideration of a width of a terminal cover 250 disposed to cover the terminal 220.
(30) Accordingly, when the terminal 220 is disposed in the terminal accommodation groove 120b, the terminal accommodation groove 120b may guide insertion and installation of the terminal 220 at which the terminal cover 250 is disposed.
(31) The gear 10 may be disposed in the third accommodation groove 130. Here, the gear 10 may include a gear body 11 and a gear shaft 12.
(32) An extension direction (Z-direction) of the first accommodation groove 110 may be perpendicular to an extension direction (X-direction) of the third accommodation groove 130 with respect to the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a. That is, the first accommodation groove 110 may be disposed perpendicular to the third accommodation groove 130 with respect to the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a. Accordingly, the rotating shaft 400 disposed in the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a and the gear shaft 12 of the gear 10 disposed in the third accommodation groove 130 may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by the gear body 11 interposed between the gear shaft 12 and the rotating shaft 400, and may also be disposed perpendicular to each other.
(33) The third accommodation groove 130 may be connected to the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a to communicate with each other. For example, since the housing 100 may include a second through hole 131 formed between the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a and the third accommodation groove 130, the third accommodation groove 130 may be connected to and communicate with the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a through the second through hole 131.
(34) Meanwhile, the housing 100 may be one part in which the first accommodation groove 110, the second accommodation groove 120, and the third accommodation groove 130 are formed. The housing 100 may be made by a forming method such as an injection molding method.
(35) Accordingly, since the housing 100 of the motor 1 is one part in which all of the first accommodation groove 110, the second accommodation groove 120, and the third accommodation groove 130 are formed, a structure of the housing 100 may be simplified, and manufacturing thereof may be easy.
(36) In addition, since the motor 1 includes the third accommodation groove 130 integrally formed with the gear 10 installed at one side of the motor 1, a configuration related to sealing is minimized, and reduction in a size thereof may be realized because an additional gearbox is not necessary.
(37) The stator 200 may have a known form in which a coil is wound around a stator core. In the stator 200, a coil may be wound around an integrated stator core, or a coil may be wound around a plurality of divided stator cores.
(38) Referring to
(39) The stator body 210 may be formed such that a coil 211 is wound around the integrated stator core or the coil 211 is wound around the plurality of divided stator cores. In addition, as illustrated in
(40) The terminal 220 may be formed to extend in the bar type to be electrically connected to the stator body 210. Here, a length of the terminal 220 may correspond to that of the rotating shaft 400. In addition, one portion of the terminal 220 formed in the bar type may be bent to be coupled to the bus bar 230.
(41) The bus bar 230 may be interposed between the stator body 210 and the terminal 220. Accordingly, the bus bar 230 may support one side of the terminal 220.
(42) The conductive medium 240 may be interposed between one end of the coil 211 and the terminal 220. In addition, the conductive medium 240 electrically connects the coil 211 and the terminal 220. For example, the conductive medium 240 and the coil 211 or the conductive medium 240 and the terminal 220 may be electrically connected by a fusing method.
(43) In addition, the conductive medium 240 may be formed to be flexible. For example, the conductive medium 240 may be formed as a stranded wire formed of a flexible material formed of copper or a copper alloy.
(44) Accordingly, when a load is applied to the terminal 220, since the conductive medium 240 is formed of the flexible material and has flexibility, the load applied to the terminal 220 is dispersed or removed, and thus the connection made by the fusing method may not be released.
(45) The terminal cover 250 may be disposed to cover the terminal 220 in order to protect the terminal 220. In addition, when the terminal 220 at which the terminal cover 250 is disposed is inserted into and installed in the terminal accommodation groove 120b, the terminal cover 250 may be guided by the terminal accommodation groove 120b.
(46) The rotor 300 may include a rotor core having a cylindrical shape and a plurality of magnets attached to the rotor core. The rotor 300 may be rotated due to an electromagnetic interaction with the stator 200.
(47) The rotating shaft 400 may be fixedly inserted into a center of the rotor 300 and rotated with the rotor 300. A thread 410 may be formed on the rotating shaft 400. In addition, since the thread 410 may be coupled to teeth of the gear 10, the rotating shaft 400 may be rotated in conjunction with the gear 10. That is, the gear 10 may be rotated according to the rotation of the rotating shaft 400.
(48) Since a bearing 20 may be disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 400, the rotating shaft 400 may rotate in the housing 100.
(49) Here, the rotating shaft 400 may be formed in a long cylindrical shape. In addition, one side of the rotating shaft 400 may be supported by the sealing guide 600, and the other side thereof may be supported by the motor cover 500.
(50) The motor cover 500 may be coupled to the opening 111 formed at the lower side of the housing 100. Accordingly, the first accommodation groove 110 in which the stator 200, the rotor 300, and the rotating shaft 400 are disposed may be sealed by the motor cover 500. Here, the motor cover 500 may be formed in a circular plate form.
(51) The sealing guides 600 and 600a may inhibit grease introduced through the gear 10 from leaking to the outside through the rotating shaft 400 and may also support the terminal 220. The sealing guides 600 and 600a may be disposed to cover openings 121a and 121b formed at the upper side of the housing 100.
(52) The sealing guides 600 and 600a may seal the opening 121a. In addition, the sealing guides 600 and 600a may support the terminal 220 exposed at the outside of the housing 100 through the opening 121b.
(53) Since the sealing guides 600 and 600a have differences in being integrally formed and being fixed by additional fixing members, each of the sealing guides 600 and 600a will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(54) Referring to
(55) As illustrated in
(56) In addition, the grommet 610 may be fixed to one side of the housing 100 by the fixing members 620. Here, the fixing member 620 may use a volt, a screw, or the like.
(57) Since one end of the terminal 220 formed to extend in the bar type may be supported by the grommet 610, the load applied to the terminal 220 by the grommet 610 may be applied only in a longitudinal direction of the terminal 220.
(58) That is, since an end portion of the terminal 220 passes through and is coupled to the through holes 611, movement of the terminal 220 in X- axis and Y-axis directions may be inhibited. Accordingly, the load applied to the terminal 220 may be applied only in the longitudinal direction of the terminal 220 due to the grommet 610.
(59) In addition, since the load applied to the terminal 220 in the longitudinal direction is dispersed or removed by the conductive medium 240, damage may be inhibited after fusing.
(60) The upper end of the terminal 220 may be exposed at the outside of the housing 100 through the through hole 611 and coupled to a connector (not shown).
(61) Accordingly, since the grommet 610 may inhibit a twist of the terminal 220 through the through hole 611, an assembly failure rate of the connector (not shown) connected to the terminal 220 may be minimized.
(62) The sealing cap 630 may be disposed to cover the opening 121a formed at one side of the rotating shaft accommodation groove 120a.
(63) The sealing cap 630 may inhibit grease introduced through the gear 10 from leaking to the outside along the rotating shaft 400 through the opening 121a. Here, the sealing cap 630 may be press-fitted at and installed in the opening 121a.
(64) Referring to
(65) Accordingly, since the grommet 610 and the sealing cap 630 of the sealing guide 600a are integrally formed, the number of assembly processes may decrease.
(66) The sensor magnet assembly 700 may be interposed between one end portion of the rotating shaft 400 and the sealing cap 630 of the sealing guide 600. The sensor magnet assembly 700 may detect rotation of the rotating shaft 400.
(67) Hereinafter, a brake device 1000 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to
(68) The brake device 1000 may include the motor 1, a master cylinder M, and an electronic stability control (ESC) system 4. Here, the master cylinder M may be operated by driving the motor 1.
(69) Foot power is detected by the ESC system 4 of the brake device 1000, the motor 1 is operated by the ESC system 4 to increase the foot power, and a brake system is operated by pressing of the master cylinder M.
(70) Accordingly, since the brake device 1000 may use the motor 1 instead of the conventional vacuum booster during braking of a vehicle, light-weight and improvement of fuel efficiency may be aimed. In addition, the brake device 1000 may perform braking without a vacuum pump.
(71)
(72) Referring to
(73) The fixing member 800 serves to inhibit separation of the bearing 20 in the direction of the rotating shaft.
(74) The fixing member 800 may include a first fixing ring 810 and a second fixing ring 820.
(75) The first fixing ring 810 is press-fitted at an inner wall of the opening 121a of the housing 100 and supports an upper surface of an outer wheel 21 of the bearing 20. An inner diameter of a part of the opening 121a in which the first fixing ring 810 is press-fitted may be formed to be greater than that of a part of the opening 121a in which the bearing 20 is press-fitted.
(76) The second fixing ring 820 is located in the opening 121a of the housing 100 and press-fitted at the rotating shaft 400, and supports an upper surface of an inner wheel 22 of the bearing 20. A press-fitting groove 420 may be concavely formed in the rotating shaft 400 for press-fitting of the second fixing ring 820.
(77) As illustrated in
(78)
(79) The motor cover 500 may be coupled to the opening 111 formed at the lower side of the housing 100. Here, the motor cover 500 may include a coupling portion 510 to be physically coupled to the housing 100.
