  • Patent number: 7582993
    Abstract: A motor having a reverse-rotation preventing unit, comprises: a casing; a stator fixedly-coupled to an inside of the casing; a primary rotor rotatably inserted into the stator; a motor shaft coupled to the primary rotor; a secondary rotor having a permanent magnet and rotatably inserted into an air gap between the stator and the primary rotor; a locking unit installed at an inner wall of the casing; a ratchet unit rotatably coupled to the secondary rotor, and locked or unlocked to/from the locking unit when the secondary rotor is forward-rotated or reverse-rotated, for rotating the secondary rotor in a forward direction; and a position setting unit for moving the ratchet unit to a locking position or a unlocking position by a difference between a centrifugal force generated when the secondary rotor is rotated and its restoration force. In the present invention, the motor is only forward-rotated without being reverse-rotated and thus a reliability thereof is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7271565
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a speed of a fan motor (HIM (Hybrid Induction Motor)) of an air-conditioner extends a speed control range of a fan motor of an air-conditioner by controlling revolutions per minute (RPM) of the fan motor. In order to extend the speed control range of the HIM, an RPM of the HIM is controlled based on a pre-set duty ratio of a switching device electrically connected with the HIM.
