Abstract: A BLDC motor for driving a cross flow fan in an air-conditioning application has an external rotor and an internal stator. The stator is a salient pole stator with insulated pole teeth and conductor coils. The inner diameter of the stator supports a single bearing. An electronic PCBA for control of the BLDC motor is optionally attached to the stator, all of which is encapsulated in a thermoset resin. The rotor comprises permanent magnet component(s) and a rotor frame. The rotor frame includes a stub axle that engages with the bearing element and features to provide torsional or rotational compliance between the rotor magnets and the fan. A level of compliance is provided between the bearing element and the stator to allow for angular misalignment between the rotational axis of the fan and the stator.

Abstract: An electrical machine such as a motor has a stator on which toroidal coils are mounted on a segmented backiron. The segments overlap to produce a graded magnetic flux at the joint between two segments, and the number of segments and the position of the joints with respect to the phases of the machine coils and the poles of the rotor are such that the flux joints are distributed evenly across the phases and the poles while allowing assembly of the machine backiron with the coils mounted on the segments. This results in a motor with no sudden flux changes in the stator and therefore reduced cogging and incipient noise.
