Abstract

A motor and a rotary assembly of the motor are provided. The motor includes a rotary assembly and a stationary assembly supporting the rotary assembly. The rotary assembly includes a rotary shaft, a retainer rotating along with the rotary shaft, and a rotor magnet retained by the retainer. A portion of the rotor magnet engages with a portion of the retainer via interference fit, and a gap is defined between another portion of the rotor magnet and another portion of the retainer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A motor comprising:
a rotary assembly comprising:
a rotary shaft;
a retainer rotating along with the rotary shaft; and
a rotor magnet retained by the retainer; and

a stationary assembly supporting the rotary assembly,
wherein the retainer comprises a first lateral surface, the rotor magnet comprises a second lateral surface facing the first lateral surface of the retainer, one of the first lateral surface and second lateral surface is of a conical surface, and the other one of the first lateral surface and second lateral surface is of a circular cylindrical surface, a portion of the second lateral surface engages with a portion of the first lateral surface via interference fit, and a gap is defined between another portion of the second lateral surface and another portion of the first lateral surface.

2. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the rotor magnet is completely received in the retainer, the first lateral surface is an inner lateral surface of the retainer, the second lateral surface is an outer lateral surface of the rotor magnet, and an outer diameter of the rotor magnet progressively increases from a first end towards a second end opposite to the first end.

3. The motor of claim 1 , wherein an opposite surface of the rotor magnet opposite to the second lateral surface is of a circular cylindrical surface.

4. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the gap between the rotor magnet and the retainer is filled with adhesive.

5. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the stationary assembly comprises:
a stator core;
a plurality of coils wound around the stator core;
a circuit board in electrical connection with the coils; and
a supporting part supporting the stator core and the circuit board;
wherein the supporting part is a die-casting part.

6. The motor of claim 5 , wherein an insulation washer is disposed between the supporting part and the circuit board.

7. The motor of claim 5 , wherein the motor further comprises two groups of cables, and two groups of connection ports are defined in the circuit board, the two groups of cables extend through the supporting part and are connected with corresponding ones of the connection ports, respectively.

8. A motor comprising:
a rotary assembly comprising:
a rotary shaft;
a retainer rotating along with the rotary shaft; and
a rotor magnet retained by the retainer, a portion of the rotor magnet engaging with a portion of the retainer via interference fit, and a gap being defined between another portion of the rotor magnet and another portion of the retainer; and

a stationary assembly supporting the rotary assembly, the stationary assembly comprising:
a stator core;
a plurality of coils wound around the stator core;
a circuit board in electrical connection with the coils; and
a supporting part supporting the stator core and the circuit board;
wherein the supporting part is a die-casting part, and an insulation washer is disposed between the supporting part and the circuit board.

9. A motor comprising:
a rotary assembly comprising:
a rotary shaft;
a retainer rotating along with the rotary shaft; and
a rotor magnet retained by the retainer, a portion of the rotor magnet engaging with a portion of the retainer via interference fit, and a gap being defined between another portion of the rotor magnet and another portion of the retainer;

a stationary assembly supporting the rotary assembly, the stationary assembly comprising:
a stator core;
a plurality of coils wound around the stator core;
a circuit board in electrical connection with the coils; and
a supporting part supporting the stator core and the circuit board;
wherein the supporting part is a die-casting part; and

two groups of cables, wherein two groups of connection ports are defined in the circuit board, the two groups of cables extend through the supporting part and are connected with corresponding ones of the connection ports, respectively.
