  • Publication number: 20160156255
    Abstract: A double stator includes: a stator core; a bobbin wrapped on an outer circumferential surface of the stator core; and a first coil wound on one side of the stator core and a second coil wound on the other side of the stator core. The stator core comprises: a lamination type core portion formed by laminating a plurality of iron pieces, on an outer surface of which a first press-fit groove is formed, and on an inner surface of which a second press-fit groove is formed; a first integration type core portion fixed to the first press-fit groove of the lamination type core portion, integrally formed by metal powders, and on which a first coil is wound; and a second integration type core portion fixed to the second press-fit groove of the lamination type core portion, integrally formed by metal powders, and on which a second coil is wound.

  • Publication number: 20150318805
    Abstract: A motor driving apparatus for a washing machine, in which a motor is a washing machine motor with a double stator and a double rotor respectively having first and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase stator coils, includes: a motor controller for generating a drive signal in accordance with a washing mode, a rinsing mode and a dewatering mode; an inverter for generating a three-phase alternating-current (AC) power, in which any one-phase AC power of the three-phase AC power is applied in common to any one-phase stator coil of the first and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase stator coils for the washing machine motor; and a switching unit for switching to apply the remaining two-phase AC power of the three-phase AC power to any two-phase stator coils of the remaining two-phase stator coils of the first and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase stator coils for the washing machine motor.

  • Publication number: 20150303780
    Abstract: Provided are a stator having a three-coil wiring structure, a BLDC motor using the same, and a driving method thereof, in which coils are wound by using a three-coil wiring method, to thus minimize a ratio between slots and poles, and to thereby reduce cogging noise, and a gap between cores is set small, to thus increase an effective area between a magnet and a core and to thereby reduce leakage magnetic flux. The BLDC motor includes: a stator having a plurality of split cores that are disposed between an inner rotor and an outer rotor, and on which coils of three phases are connected and wound in a three-phase drive method, in which the plurality of split cores include a number of core groups in which the coils of the respective phases are wound on three consecutive split cores in sequence of a forward direction, a reverse direction, and a forward direction, and the three consecutive split cores generate magnetic flux in opposite directions to each other.
