Abstract

A stator core, a stator and a motor are provided. The stator core may include a head that extends in a circumferential direction; a tooth that extends inward from the head; a first protruding portion that extends outward from an outer circumferential surface of the head; and a second protruding portion that protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the first protruding portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor, comprising:
a housing;
a stator disposed in the housing; and
a rotor disposed in the stator and including a central axis,
wherein the stator includes a plurality of divided cores, at least one of the plurality of divided cores including a head and a tooth extending from the head,
wherein the head includes a first surface having a first radius from a center of the stator, and a second surface having a second radius from the center of the stator,
wherein the first radius is shorter than the second radius, and
wherein a groove is formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface,
wherein the second surface is equal to a curvature of an inner surface of the housing.

2. The motor of claim 1 , wherein a first groove is formed on the first surface, and
a second groove spaced apart from the first groove is formed on the second surface.

3. The motor of claim 2 , wherein the first groove and the second groove are formed to extend in an axial direction from a top to a bottom of the stator.

4. The motor of claim 2 , wherein the first groove is arranged in a center of the head in a circumferential direction.

5. The motor of claim 2 , wherein the second surface is provided in plural, and
the plurality of second surfaces are symmetrically arranged around the first surface.

6. The motor of claim 5 , wherein the second groove is formed on one of the plurality of second surfaces.

7. The motor of claim 2 , wherein a first separation portion is formed between the stator and the housing by the first groove,
a second separation portion is formed between the stator and the housing by the second groove, and
the first separation portion and the second separation portion are spaced apart from each other.

8. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the second surface is in contact with the housing, and the first surface is spaced apart from the housing.

9. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are disposed on a concentric circle having a central axis as a center.

10. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the first surface is arranged in a center of the head in a circumferential direction.

11. The motor of claim 1 , wherein a circumferential length of the first surface is greater than a circumferential length of the second surface.

12. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of divided cores are interconnected and formed integrally.

13. The motor of claim 1 , wherein a friction area between the stator and the housing is reduced by the first groove and the second groove, thereby reducing friction torque.

14. The motor of claim 1 , wherein the stator includes a first area and a second area divided based on a virtual center line (X) passing through the central axis of the tooth, and
the first area and the second area are symmetrical with respect to the center line (X).

15. A motor, comprising:
a housing;
a stator disposed in the housing; and
a rotor disposed in the stator and including a central axis,
wherein the stator includes a plurality of divided cores, at least one of the plurality of divided cores including a head and a tooth extending from the head,
wherein an outer peripheral surface of the head includes a first surface and a second surface,
wherein a diameter of an imaginary circle formed by connecting the first surfaces is smaller than a diameter of an imaginary circle formed by connecting the second surfaces, and
wherein a groove is formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface,
wherein the second surface is equal to a curvature of an inner surface of the housing.

16. A motor, comprising:
a housing;
a stator disposed in the housing; and
a rotor disposed in the stator and including a central axis,
wherein the stator includes a plurality of divided cores, at least one of the plurality of divided cores including a head and a tooth extending from the head,
wherein the head includes a first surface having a first radius from a center of the stator, and a second surface having a second radius from the center of the stator,
wherein the first radius is shorter than the second radius, and
wherein a groove is formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface,
wherein a circumferential length of the first surface is greater than a circumferential length of the second surface.

17. A motor, comprising:
a housing;
a stator disposed in the housing; and
a rotor disposed in the stator and including a central axis,
wherein the stator includes a plurality of divided cores, at least one of the plurality of divided cores including a head and a tooth extending from the head,
wherein the head includes a first surface having a first radius from a center of the stator, and a second surface having a second radius from the center of the stator,
wherein the first radius is shorter than the second radius,
wherein a groove is formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface, and
wherein the first surface and the second surface are disposed on a concentric circle having a central axis as a center.
