Abstract

The present invention discloses a motor comprising: a stator part; and a rotor assembly rotatably disposed with respect to the stator part, wherein the rotor assembly comprises: a ring magnet including an insertion hole with a shaft disposed therein and a plurality of first grooves formed at one side thereof along a first imaginary circle; and a core member including a body portion disposed between the shaft and the insertion hole, and an extension portion covering the plurality of first grooves, wherein the extension portion comprises a plurality of second grooves deviated from a plurality of first imaginary straight lines which pass from a center of the first imaginary circle respectively through the plurality of first grooves.

Claims

1. A rotor comprising:

a shaft;

a ring magnet including a first hole into which the shaft is inserted, the ring magnet having an upper surface; and

a core member disposed between the shaft and the ring magnet and including a resin material, and a part of the core member is on the upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein the ring magnet includes a plurality of first recesses disposed on the upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein an upper surface of the core member is disposed on the upper surface of the ring magnet such that the upper surface of the core member is spaced apart in the axial direction from the upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein the core member includes a plurality of second recesses disposed on the upper surface of the core member, the second recesses and the first recesses being disposed to be misaligned in a radial direction,

wherein a shortest distance between the shaft and one of the second recesses is less than a shortest distance between the shaft and one of the first recesses in the radial direction, and

wherein a shortest distance in a radial direction between the shaft and an outer end of the upper surface of the core member is greater than the shortest distance in a radial direction between the shaft and the one of the first recesses on the upper surface of the ring magnet.

2. The rotor of claim 1, wherein:

the core member includes a plurality of third recesses disposed on the upper surface of the core member, and

wherein a shortest distance between the shaft and one of the third recesses is less than the shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the first recesses in the radial direction; and

wherein the third recesses at least partially overlap with the first recesses in an axial direction.

3. The rotor of claim 2, wherein the shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the second recesses is less than the shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the third recesses in the radial direction.

4. The rotor of claim 3, wherein the second recesses and the third recesses are disposed to be misaligned in a radial direction.

5. The rotor of claim 2, wherein:

the plurality of second recesses are disposed on a same circumference about the shaft; and

the plurality of third recesses are disposed on a same circumference about the shaft.

6. The rotor of claim 2, wherein the third recesses are disposed in a same direction as the first recesses in a radial direction.

7. The rotor of claim 2, wherein an angle between a center of one of the first recesses and a center of one of the second recesses in a circumferential direction with respect to the shaft is greater than an angle between the center of one of the first recesses and a center of one of the third recesses in a circumferential direction with respect to the shaft.

8. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the core member is made of injected polymer resin, the polymer resin made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) or polyamide 9T (PA9T).

9. The rotor of claim 1, wherein each of the second recesses separately includes protrusion portions protruding from a bottom surface thereof, and ends of the protrusion portions are formed at a lower level than the upper surface of the core member in the radial direction.

10. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the core member covers the first recesses.

11. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of the core member partially overlaps with the first recesses in an axial direction.

12. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the shaft includes fourth recesses disposed on a surface thereof which are coupled to the core member.

13. The rotor of claim 1, wherein a length of the core member in an axial direction is greater than a length of the ring magnet in the axial direction.

14. The rotor of claim 2, wherein the first recesses include a bottom surface and a side surface extending from the bottom surface to the upper surface of the ring magnet.

15. A motor comprising:

a rotor; and

a stator,

wherein the rotor comprises;

a core member disposed between the shaft and the ring magnet and including a resin material, and a part of the core member is on the upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein the ring magnet includes a plurality of first recesses disposed on an upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein an upper surface of the core member is disposed on the upper surface of the ring magnet such that the upper surface of the core member is spaced apart in the axial direction from the upper surface of the ring magnet,

wherein the core member includes a plurality of second recesses disposed on the upper surface of the core member, the second recesses and the first recesses being disposed to be misaligned in a radial direction,

wherein a shortest distance between the shaft and one of the second recesses is less than a radially shortest distance between the shaft and one of the first recesses in the radial direction, and

wherein a shortest distance in a radial direction between the shaft and an outer end of the upper surface of the core member is greater than the shortest distance in a radial direction between the shaft and the one of the first recesses on the upper surface of the ring magnet.

16. The motor of claim 15, wherein:

the core member includes a plurality of third recesses disposed on the upper surface of the core member, and

wherein a shortest distance between the shaft and one of the third recesses is less than the radially shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the first recesses in the radial direction; and

wherein the third recesses at least partially overlap with the first recesses in an axial direction.

17. The motor of claim 16, wherein the shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the second recesses is less than the shortest distance between the shaft and the one of the third recesses in the radial direction.
