Abstract: A fan motor may include a motor housing that guides a flow of air generated by an impeller. The motor housing may include an outer wall, and an inner wall disposed inside of the outer wall and spaced apart from the outer wall. The motor housing may include at least one vane that extends between the outer wall and the inner wall to guide the flow of air. The motor housing may further include at least one vane extension portion that extends from a downstream end of the at least one vane to cover at least a portion of a thickness surface of the inner wall. With this structure, the at least one vane extension portion may improve a cooling performance of the motor while minimizing flow loss due to a vortex generated while some of the air flowing along a flow path flows to a motor accommodating portion.

Abstract: A fan motor may include a shroud, an impeller accommodated in the shroud, a motor connected to the impeller through a rotational shaft, and a motor housing that accommodates the motor. The motor housing may include an outer wall, an inner wall, a cover that covers an upstream end of the inner wall, and at least one vane disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the outer wall and an outer circumferential surface of the inner wall. A discharge passage may be defined between the inner wall and an outer circumferential of the stator. Air in an air pocket formed by the cover, the inner wall, and an upstream end of the motor may be discharged into the discharge passage by a high flow rate of air passing through the at least one vane. Accordingly, air inside of the air pocket may be externally discharged without stagnating.

Thereby, it is possible to suppress vortex generation in a downstream region of the impeller, and flow loss caused by the vortex generation can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fan motor comprising: a housing; a vane hub received in the housing; an insulator mounted inside the vane hub to insulate a stator comprising a stator core and a stator coil wound on the stator core; and a lower bracket coupled to the insulator, wherein a plurality of power line lead-out holes are formed in the lower bracket so as to allow a power line extending from the stator coil to pass therethrough, and a plurality of air holes are formed in the circumferential direction between the respective power line lead-out holes so as to allow air to be suctioned toward the stator. Accordingly, a flow channel of air to for cooling a stator can be formed inside a stator slot, and thus cooling of the stator can be facilitated.
