A ring-shaped back yoke 230 having a predetermined width is inserted into the deposition groove 223. The plurality of permanent magnets 210 are stacked and adhered to the inner side portion of the back yoke 230 at predetermined intervals in a circumference direction.
The back yoke 230 is fabricated by rolling a thin steel plate. and serves to form a magnetic circuit of the permanent magnet 210. The back yoke 230 and the permanent magnet 210 are formed in a single body by a thermoplastic resin.
On the other hand, a boss unit 224 having a predetermined height is formed at the center portion of the base unit 221. A through hole 224a is formed at the center portion of the boss unit 224. A serration unit 225 having a plurality of triangle-shaped teeth is formed at the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 224a.
A shaft serration unit 401 formed at the outer circumferential surface of the driving shaft 400 is inserted into the serration unit 225 of the resin frame 220, and thus the resin frame 220 and the driving shaft 400 are combined. A spacer 410 is inserted into the lower portion of the shaft serration unit 401 inserted into the serration unit 225 of the resin frame 220. A nut 420 is fastened to a lower portion of the spacer 410, namely an end portion of the driving shaft 400.

In the conventional outer rotor type brushless motor, when a current sequentially flows to the coil 20 wound round the stator 100, the rotor 200 is rotated according to interaction between the current flowing in the coil 20 and the permanent magnet 210. The rotation force of the rotor 200 is transmitted to other constitutional elements through the driving shaft 400.
For example, in case the outer rotor type brushless motor adapts to a washing machine, the stator 100 is deposited in an outer casing including an inner casing, the driving shaft 400 is connected to the inner casing of the washing machine, and thus the driving force of the rotor can be transmitted to the devices such as the washing machine through the driving shaft 400.
During the rotation of the rotor 200, the air flows into the motor by the radiation fan blades 226 and the radiation holes 227, thereby cooling the heat generated in the motor.
However, while rotated by the interaction force with the current applied to the winding coil of the stator, as depicted in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the rotor for the conventional outer rotor type brushless motor is vibrated in a shaft direction and a radius direction.
The vibration is generated because the resin frame connected with the permanent magnet consists of the resin, and thus stiffness of the material is weak (approximately 15% of the steel plate). Especially, the vibration of the resin frame resulting from the vibration in the radius direction increases noise.
Moreover, since the frame consists of the resin, the serration unit of the frame connected to the driving shaft transmitting the driving force generated from the rotor is easily abraded under the operational conditions of high temperature, high torque and impact load, and thus a life span thereof is reduced.
In addition, the radiation fan blades for cooling the inside of the motor with the external air are formed in a vertical direction. Therefore, when the rotor is rotated in one direction, an amount of the air which flows into the motor and is discharged therefrom is increased. As the thermal conductivity of the resin is low, radiation is not efficient.
Furthermore, the frame consisting of the resin is very weak to a fatigue destruction resulting from a repeated stress generated by alternation of the washing machine. Accordingly, the radiation hole must be formed small. However, the small radiation holes cannot sufficiently perform a cooling operation. As a result, when the cooling operation is ill-performed, a resistance of the coil is increased, motor efficiency is reduced, a temperature of the coil is more increased, and thus the coil may be easily damaged. Consequently, an expensive coil of high quality must be used.
The resin frame consists of the resin, and thus a price thereof is relatively high. Also, it is necessary to separately fabricate and connect the back yoke in order to form the magnetic circuit, which results in increased production and assembly costs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a structure of a rotor for a brushless motor (BLDC) which can improve structural stiffness, reduce noise by restricting generation of vibration, use cheap materials, reduce a fabrication cost by forming a back yoke and a base plate unit in a single body, and improve durability.

Here, the identical constitutional elements to the conventional art are provided with the same reference numerals.
As illustrated in FIGS. 4a to 4c, the rotor for the outer rotor type brushless motor in accordance with the present invention includes a steel plate frame 510 in a cylinder shape having a plurality of insertion holes 511 at its center portion, an upper portion of which being opened. A back yoke unit 513 is curved and extended in the upward direction, having a predetermined height at the outer circumferential portion of a base plate unit 512, a plurality of permanent magnets 520 being fixedly connected to an inner side portion of the back yoke unit 513.
The base plate unit 512 is formed in a disc shape, a center portion of which being protruded in the upward direction, making an irregular shape with peripheral portions.
The plurality of insertion holes 511 are formed at the center portion, and include a shaft insertion hole 511a which a driving shaft 400 is inserted into; and a plurality of fastening member insertion holes 511b which are formed at the outer circumferential portion of the shaft insertion hole 511a, and which a fastening member 520 is inserted into.
On the other hand, a connection guide unit 514 is protrusively formed in the upward direction at the outer circumferential portion of the fastening member insertion hole 511b in the base plate unit 512, so that a connecting member 530 fastened to the steel plate frame 510 by the fastening member 520 can be easily connected to the base plate unit 512.
The connecting member 530 consists of a steel material, and is fixedly connected to the steel plate frame 510.
As depicted in FIGS. 4b and 4c, in order to increase a natural frequency of the rotor 500, a plurality of enhancing ribs 515 which are longitudinally embossed in a radius direction are formed in a radial shape at a predetermined portion of the base plate unit 512.
The enhancing ribs 515 serve to prevent generation of resonance with other constitutional elements during the driving of the rotor 500.
As illustrated in FIGS. 5a and 5b, the end portion of the enhancing rib 515 is advantageously formed in an isosceles triangle shape. The embossing direction is protruded toward the upper or lower portion of the base plate unit 512.
In addition, a plurality of radiation holes 516 are formed at the outer circumferential portions of the plurality of insertion holes 511 formed at the center portion of the base plate unit 512. A blade 517 for guiding an air inflow by rotation of the rotor 500 is formed at the side portions of the respective radiation holes 516.
The radiation hole 516 and the blade 517 may be formed by a press process at the same time, or the blade 517 may be adhered after forming the radiation hole 516. One or more radiation holes 516 and blades 517 are formed between the enhancing ribs 515 at predetermined intervals.
According to a preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 4c, one radiation hole 516 and one blade 517 are formed between the enhancing ribs 515. According to another embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, two radiation holes 516 and two blades 517 are formed between the enhancing ribs 515.
In general, it is preferable that the radiation holes 516 are formed in a maximum number so long as the structural stiffness of the base plate unit 512 is maintained, and thus maximizes an amount of air flowing into the motor.
The shape of the radiation hole 516 will now be described in detail. The radiation hole 516 is longitudinally formed in a radius direction at the base plate unit 512. The blade 517 is fixed after an edge of a cutting portion of the radiation hole 516 is rotated by a predetermined angle.
In more detail, as illustrated in FIGS. 7a and 7b, in order to form the radiation hole 516, a predetermined portion of the base plate unit 512 is cut in the radius direction. The cutting portion is rotated by a predetermined length (h), centering around a portion corresponding to a length (L) to the circumferential direction of the radiation hole 516, and fixed, thereby forming the blade 517.
In every embodiment, it is advantageous to form the plurality of blades 517 to be sloped in the same direction, and to form a width of the radiation hole 516 to be equal to or greater than a height of the blade 517 (h/L≦1). In addition, the blade 517 slopes toward the inner or outer side of the stator coil 20. Here, an angle of slope is preferably between 60° and 90° in regard to the surface of the base plate unit 512. as shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b.
FIG. 7a shows a state where the blade 517 is fixedly sloped toward the stator coil 20, and FIG. 7b shows a state where the blade 517 is fixedly sloped away therefrom. In the former, a large amount of air flows into the motor, but an accident may take place during components assembly. In the latter, an amount of air flowing into the motor is more or less small, but an accident is prevented.
In order to receive one or more ring-shaped permanent magnets 540 in the circumferential direction at predetermined intervals, a jaw 513a having a predetermined width in a horizontal direction and a contact surface 513b extended in a vertical direction to the jaw 513a are formed at the inner surface of the back yoke unit 513.
The permanent magnets 540 are positioned on the jaw 513a, contacted with the contact surface 513b, and fixedly connected to the back yoke unit 513 by an adhesive or, by positioning a resin for adhesion 550 at their upper portions.
In order to enhance stiffness of the steel plate frame 510 in the radius direction, a radius-direction enhancing unit 518 vertically curved and extended in the outward direction is formed at the upper end portion of the back yoke unit 513.

A specific nut may be fastened to the fastening unit 520.
The shaft serration unit 401 is formed at the outer circumferential portion of the driving shaft 400 transmitting the rotation force of the rotor 500 in order to be engaged with the serration hole 533 of the connecting member 530, and a male screw unit 402 is formed at the lower portion thereof.
The driving shaft 400 is connected to the serration hole 533 of the connecting member 530 connected to the steel plate frame 510. At the same time, the spacer 410 is inserted into the end portion of the driving shaft 400, and the nut 420 which is a fixing unit is fastened to the male screw unit 402, thereby fixedly connecting the driving shaft 400 to the steel plate frame 510.
The assembly process of the rotor for the outer rotor type brushless motor in accordance with the present invention will now be explained.
Firstly, the shape of the steel plate frame 510 is manufactured by a press. The permanent magnets 540 are positioned at the inner circumferential portion of the back yoke unit 513 of the steel plate frame 510. Thereafter. the permanent magnets 540 are fixedly adhered to the back yoke unit 513 by the adhesive or resin for adhesion 550.
The screw hole 534 which is the connecting member combining unit accords with the fastening unit insertion hole 511b of the base plate unit 512 of the steel plate unit 510, and a bolt which is the fastening unit 520 is fastened thereto, thereby connecting the connecting member 530 to the steel plate frame 510.
The shaft serration unit 401 of the driving shaft 400 is inserted into the serration hole 533 of the connecting member 530, the spacer 401 is inserted into the lower portion of the driving shaft 400, and the nut 420 is fastened to the male screw unit 402 of the driving shaft 400, thereby fixedly connecting the driving shaft 400, the steel plate frame 510 and the connecting member 530.
In accordance with the outer rotor type brushless motor of the present invention, the permanent magnets 540 composing the rotor 500 are positioned to surround the stator 100, and the driving shaft 400 is connected to other constitutional elements.
According to the outer rotor type brushless motor of the present invention, when a current is applied to the coil 20 composing the stator 100, the rotor 500 is rotated by the interaction force between the current flowing in the coil 20 and the permanent magnets 540, and the driving shaft 400 connected to the rotor 500 transmits the rotation force generated from the rotor 500 to the other constitutional elements.
In accordance with the present invention, the steel plate frame 510 consists of a steel material, and thus stiffness is relatively high. In addition, at the base plate unit of the steel plate frame 510, the enhancing rib 515 is formed in order to enhance stiffness in the shaft direction, and the radius-direction enhancing unit 518 if formed in order to enhance stiffness in the radius direction. The support frame is connected to the outer portion of the enhancing unit 518, thus increasing the structural stiffness and reducing the vibration. As a result, the noise generation is restricted.
Also, the blades 517 formed at the base plate unit 512 of the steel plate frame 510 are protrusively sloped in one direction, and thus the external air may smoothly flow into the motor during the rotation. Accordingly, the heat generated in the motor can be efficiently cooled.
Furthermore, the connecting member 530 connected to the driving shaft 400 is firmly fastened to the steel plate frame 510 by the bolt which is the fastening unit 520. Also, the material stiffness is high, and thus resists the high torque, impact load and high temperature. As a result, the components may not be abraded or damaged, and durability thereof is improved.
Moreover, the steel plate frame 510 and other components consist of a steel material, and thus a fabrication cost thereof is reduced by approximately 5 times, as compared with the resin in the conventional art. In addition, while the back yoke 230 is fabricated by rolling a thin steel plate in the conventional air, it is not specially fabricated, but formed in a single body with the steel plate frame 510 in accordance with the present invention.
As discussed earlier, the structure of the rotor for the outer rotor type brushless motor in accordance with the present invention increases the structural stiffness, and restricts generation of the vibration and nose during the operation, thereby improving reliability. In addition, the present invention efficiently cools the heat generated in the motor during the operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the motor. Moreover, the back yoke unit is not specially fabricated, but formed in a single body with the steel plate frame, thereby reducing the fabrication cost.
As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
