Description
- This application is a Divisional of co-pending application Ser. No. 11/157,840, filed on Jun. 22, 2005, and for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. § 120; the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a balancing structure for a motor. In particular, the present invention relates to a balancing structure for maintaining stable rotation of a rotor of a motor.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A wide variety of structures for maintaining rotational balance for a rotor of a motor have been proposed. One of these structures comprises a fixed portion, a rotor, an attracting portion, and a magnetically conductive portion. The fixed portion includes a base, an axial tube fixed on the base, a bearing received in the axial tube, a stator, and a circuit board. The stator includes a coil with axial winding or radial winding and a plurality of pole plates (or pole arms). The rotor includes a shaft rotatably extending through the bearing and an annular magnet surrounding the pole faces of the pole plates. The attracting portion is provided on a bottom of the rotor or a top end of the axial tube. Alternatively, the attracting portion is provided by the annular magnet or the alternating magnetic fields created by the pole plates of the stator. The magnetically conductive portion is made of a magnetically conductive material and may be comprised of a disc with two arcuate edges, a casing fixed in a rotor housing of the rotor, an annular plate, a plurality of arcuate plates, or a rotor housing of a spindle motor. The magnetically conductive portion may be provided on the circuit board, an inner periphery of the rotor, or the bottom of the rotor, and associated with the attracting portion. Such a structure is disclosed in, e.g., Taiwan Utility Model Publication Nos. 383818, 422365, 428838 and M241969, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,097,120; 6,483,209; 6,700,241; and 6,727,626, and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2005/0006962.
- When the motor turns, alternating magnetic fields are created by the pole faces of the magnetic pole plates (or pole arms). The magnetically conductive portion is attracted by the attracting portion during rotation of the rotor, thereby maintaining rotational balance of the rotor, avoiding disengagement of the rotor shaft from the stator, reducing rotational friction of the bearing, and prolonging the life of the motor.
- It is common to make the size of the metal plate consisting of the magnetically conductive portion as large as possible so as to provide a large area facing the magnet of the attracting portion (such as the annular magnet). This may result in excessive attracting force between the magnetically conductive portion and the attracting portion for balancing the rotor. The fixed portion generally includes a circuit board with at least one Hall element that faces the annular magnet of the rotor for detecting a change in polarity of the annular magnet when the rotor turns. The Hall element is generally fixed on the circuit board by a number of legs that are bent. The Hall element inevitably warps upward and thus could not lie flat on the circuit board. The assembling precision of the Hall element is thus adversely affected. Further, it becomes more and more difficult to mount additional positioning elements on the fixed portion for precisely positioning the Hall element due to the limited assembling space provided by the fixed portion on the trend of miniaturization. The quality of the resultant motors after assembly is not uniform. More specifically, the Hall elements in some of the motors could not provide accurate detection signal. The rotational efficiency of the rotor is adversely affected and the qualified product ratio is lowered.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a balancing structure for improving assembling precision for a sensor while maintaining rotational balance for a rotor of a motor.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a balancing structure for providing an appropriate balancing effect.
- A motor in accordance with the present invention comprises a fixed portion, a rotor, a balancing plate, and at least one sensor mounted on the fixed portion. The fixed portion comprises a stator having at least one winding and at least one pole plate that extends to form a plurality of pole faces. The at least one winding is energizable to make the pole faces create alternating magnetic fields. The rotor includes an annular magnet facing the pole faces of the stator and a shaft rotatably extending through the fixed portion. The balancing plate is mounted on the fixed portion and includes at least two magnetically conductive faces that face at least one face of the annular magnet.
- The balancing plate presses against and thus precisely positions a body of the sensor so that the sensor and the annular magnet have a certain distance therebetween while providing an appropriate magnetically attracting balancing effect between the at least two magnetically conductive faces and the annular magnet.
- Preferably, the fixed portion further comprises a circuit board on which the at least one sensor is mounted.
- Preferably, the circuit board comprises an opening in which the at least one sensor is mounted.
- Preferably, the balancing plate is in intimate contact with a top side of the circuit board.
- Preferably, the balancing plate further comprises a connecting portion for connecting the at least two magnetically conductive faces.
- In an embodiment of the invention, the connecting portion is an outer connecting portion. Each magnetically conductive face extends radially inward from an inner periphery of the outer connecting portion and faces a bottom face of the annular magnet of the rotor. Preferably, a notch is defined between a pair of the at least two magnetically conductive faces adjacent to each other. The notches and the at least two magnetically conductive faces face the annular magnet of the rotor.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the connecting portion is an inner connecting portion. Each magnetically conductive face extends radially outward from an outer periphery of the inner connecting portion and faces a bottom face of the annular magnet of the rotor. Preferably, a notch is defined between a pair of the at least two magnetically conductive faces adjacent to each other. The notches and the at least two magnetically conductive faces face the annular magnet of the rotor.
- Preferably, the fixed portion comprises an axial tube, and the inner connecting portion comprises a central hole and mounted around the axial tube of the fixed portion.
- The stator may include radial winding or axial winding.
