Abstract

BLDC motor including a stator with teeth which extend toward an inner side of a core and have a coil wound therearound; rotors disposed at an inner side of the stator and spaced apart from each other having a plurality of permanent magnets coupled to a core thereof; and hall sensors disposed and spaced apart to be opposite to an outer circumferential surface of the core of the rotor and disposed within a height range between both surfaces in a height direction of the core of the rotor to detect a change in a magnetic field in response to a rotation of the rotor, thereby accurately grasping positional information of a rotor and accurately controlling a rotation of the rotor by transmitting a magnetic flux generated from a permanent magnet of the rotor to a hall sensor enabling the hall sensor to detect a change in a magnetic field.

Claims

1. A BLDC motor, comprising:

a stator provided with a plurality of teeth which extend toward an inner side of a core and have a coil wound therearound;

a rotor disposed at an inner side of the stator to be spaced apart from each other and having a plurality of permanent magnets coupled to a core thereof; and

hall sensors disposed while being spaced apart from each other to be opposite to an outer circumferential surface of the core of the rotor and disposed within a height range between both surfaces in a height direction of the core of the rotor to detect a change in a magnetic field in response to a rotation of the rotor,

wherein an upper surface of the stator in an axial direction, in which the hall sensors are disposed, is flat, and the hall sensors are disposed between an upper surface of the core of the rotor and the upper surface of the stator in the axial direction.

2. The BLDC motor of claim 1, wherein a central height of the core of the rotor is spaced apart from a central height of the core of the stator.

3. The BLDC motor of claim 2, wherein the central height of the core of the rotor is disposed to be spaced apart from the central height of the core of the stator in the same direction as a direction of an axial force which acts on the rotor.

4. The BLDC motor of claim 2, wherein the core of the stator is disposed within the height range between both surfaces in the height direction of the core of the rotor.

5. The BLDC motor of claim 1, further comprising:

an insulator coupled to the stator so that the insulator surrounds the stator to electrically insulate the stator,

wherein the insulator is provided with a seating groove in which the hall sensor may be disposed.

6. The BLDC motor of claim 5, further comprising:

a hall PCB housing which are disposed at an outer side of the coil in the height direction to be spaced apart from each other and are coupled to the insulator.

7. The BLDC motor of claim 6, further comprising:

a hall PCB which is coupled to an outer side of the hall PCB housing in the height direction and is provided with the hall sensor.

8. The BLDC motor of claim 5, wherein a stopping plate is provided to stop a gap between the outer circumferential surface of the core of the rotor and the hall sensor.

9. The BLDC motor of claim 8, wherein the stopping plate is integrally formed with the hall PCB housing.

10. The BLDC motor of claim 1, wherein ten permanent magnets are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined angle along the circumferential direction, so the rotor is formed in 10 poles, and

three hall sensors are spaced apart from each other by 24°

along the circumferential direction.

11. The BLDC motor of claim 1, wherein eight permanent magnets are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined angle along the circumferential direction, so the rotor is formed in 8 poles, and

three hall sensors are spaced apart from each other by 30°

along the circumferential direction.
