  • Patent number: 7439647
    Abstract: A brushless DC motor and a stator thereof. The stator comprises an upper magnetic pole piece and a lower magnetic pole piece. The upper magnetic pole piece comprises a plurality of upper protruding portions extending toward the lower magnetic pole piece, and the lower magnetic pole piece comprises a plurality of lower protruding portions extending toward the upper magnetic pole piece. The upper protruding portions and the lower protruding portions are substantially spaced apart and alternately arranged. A positioning portion extending from a distal end of each upper protruding portion is located below the magnetic ring of the rotor, to increase the magnetic force therebetween. Alternatively, a positioning portion can be formed between the lower protruding portions of the lower magnetic pole piece and extended to the bottom of the rotor; thus, an axial attraction force can be generated to stabilize the rotor.
