Abstract

A stator structure includes a stator assembly and a protective body, and the stator assembly is covered by the protective body. Additionally, a manufacturing method of the stator structure, which includes the steps of providing a stator assembly, providing a mold, disposing the stator assembly in the mold, applying a filler into a space defined between the mold and the stator assembly, and removing the mold to form the stator structure with the protective body, is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A stator structure comprising:

a stator assembly, which includes;

a plurality of stacked silicon steel sheets,

a coil winding on the silicon steel sheets, and

a circuit board located on one side of the silicon steel sheets; and

a protective body covering the stator assembly to avoid external moisture into the stator assembly.

2. The stator structure according to claim 1, wherein the protective body contains a waterproof body made of epoxy, silica gel, or polyurethane.

3. The stator structure according to claim 1, wherein the stator structure is disposed in a fan frame.

4. A manufacturing method of a stator structure, comprising the steps of:

providing a stator assembly;

providing a mold;

disposing the stator assembly in the mold;

applying a filler into a space defined between the mold and the stator assembly; and

removing the mold to form the stator structure with a protective body.

5. The manufacturing method according to claim 4, wherein the mold has a hole for applying the filler.

6. The manufacturing method according to claim 5, further comprising the step of:

disposing a film between the mold and the stator assembly.

7. The manufacturing method according to claim 6, wherein the mold comprises a first cover and a second cover, the film is in contact with the first cover, and the second cover has a hole for applying the filler.

8. The manufacturing method according to claim 6, wherein the filler is applied into the space defined between the film and the stator assembly.

9. The manufacturing method according to claim 6, wherein the film comprises polyvinyl chloride.

10. The manufacturing method according to claim 9, wherein the protective body contains a waterproof body made of epoxy, silica gel, or polyurethane.

11. The manufacturing method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of:

removing the film after the mold is removed.

12. The manufacturing method according to claim 5, wherein the filler is a liquid or fluid material, and after the filler is applied, the filler is solidified to form the protective body by fast cooling at low temperature or curing at high temperature.

13. A manufacturing method of a stator structure, comprising the steps of:

disposing a stator assembly on a base of a fan frame;

providing a mold and a film to cover the stator assembly, wherein the film is disposed between the mold and the stator assembly;

applying a filler into a space defined between the film and the stator assembly; and

removing the mold to form a protective body for covering the stator assembly.

14. The manufacturing method according to claim 13, wherein the mold has a hole for applying the filler.

15. The manufacturing method according to claim 14, wherein the mold comprises a first cover and a second cover and the film is in contact with the first cover, and the hole is formed in the second cover.

16. The manufacturing method according to claim 13, wherein the filler is applied into the space defined among the film, the stator assembly, and the base.

17. The manufacturing method according to claim 13, wherein the film comprises polyvinyl chloride.

18. The manufacturing method according to claim 17, wherein the protective body is a waterproof body made of epoxy, silica gel, or polyurethane.

19. The manufacturing method according to claim 13, further comprising the step of:

removing the film after the mold is removed.

20. The manufacturing method according to claim 13, wherein the filler is a liquid or fluid material, and after the filler is applied, the filler is solidified to form the protective body by fast cooling at low temperature or curing at high temperature.
