  • Patent number: 11202541
    Abstract: An outer rotor motor includes an inner stator and an outer rotor. The inner stator includes a stator frame and a stator unit mounted to the stator frame. The outer rotor includes a shaft and a rotor unit fixed to the shaft. The stator frame is integrally formed from plastic as an integral structure and comprises a base and a hub extending from the base, the hub forms a chamber therein, supporting components are installed in the chamber, and the shaft extends into the chamber and supported by the supporting components such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the stator frame. In the present invention, the stator frame has an integral structure made of plastic which simplifies the structure of the motor and reduces the cost of the motor. The present invention further provides a vacuum cleaner that employs the motor.

  • Publication number: 20180175694
    Abstract: A stator includes a stator core and three phase windings wound on the stator core. The stator provides a neutral point terminal, each of the three phase windings comprises a phase connecting end and a neutral point connecting end, the neutral point connecting end of each of the three phase windings is fixed to and electrically connected to the neutral point terminal. The neutral point connecting ends of the three phase windings are electrically connected together at outside of the circuit board. The circuit board does not need to provide extra space or wiring layer to achieve the combination of the neutral point connecting ends of the three phase windings.

  • Publication number: 20170353095
    Abstract: A driving device configured to drive a rotary body includes a motor assembly and a plurality of first magnets disposed on the rotary body along a circumferential direction thereof. Sides of the magnets facing the motor assembly form a plurality of magnetic poles. Upon rotation of the motor assembly, the magnets is driven by magnetic interaction between the motor assembly and the magnetic member to rotate to drive the rotary body to rotate. The present invention also provides a bladeless fan including this driving device.

  • Publication number: 20170077773
    Abstract: A permanent magnet motor and a power tool are provided. The permanent magnet motor includes an excition and an armature. One of the excition and armature comprises a first magnetic core with permanent magnet members embedded therein. The permanent magnet members are arranged along a circumferential direction of the first magnetic core, such that an inner circumferential surface of the first magnetic core forms a plurality of magnetic poles with alternative polarities. The other of the excition and armature comprises a second magnetic core and windings. The second magnetic core is received in the first magnetic core and comprises teeth with the windings wound therearound. The embedded construction prevents the permanent magnet members from becoming disengaged from the magnetic core. A stronger magnetic pole can be formed by mutual induction of the permanent magnet members and the magnetic core, which increases the power density of the motor.
