Abstract

A rotor of a motor capable of improving durability of the motor by increasing a bonding force between a ring magnet and a resin. The rotor includes a ring magnet having an insertion hole passing through the center thereof, a shaft inserted into the insertion hole, and a resin that is disposed between the insertion hole and the shaft and fixes the ring magnet and the shaft. The resin extends to upper and lower surfaces of the ring magnet so as to cover at least parts of the upper and lower surfaces of the ring magnet.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rotor of a motor comprising:
a ring magnet having an insertion hole passing through a center thereof;
a shaft inserted into the insertion hole;
a coating material that covers an outer circumferential surface of the ring magnet; and
a resin that covers an area between an inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole and the shaft, an upper surface of the ring magnet, and a lower surface of the ring magnet, the ring magnet having at least one first recess provided in the upper surface thereof,
wherein the at least one first recess includes a bottom surface connected to the insertion hole and a sidewall that connects the bottom surface of the at least one first recess with the upper surface of the ring magnet, and the at least one first recess widens from the bottom surface towards the upper surface of the ring magnet,
wherein a distance that extends radially from an inner surface of the insertion hole to the outer circumferential surface of the ring magnet is greater than a distance that extends radially from an outermost circumferential surface of the shaft to the inner surface of the insertion hole,
wherein a distance that extends radially from a center of the shaft to an outermost end of the resin that extends to the upper surface and the lower surface of the ring magnet is greater than a distance that extends radially from the center of the shaft to an outermost end of the at least one first recess, and
wherein the coating material includes Teflon and has a thickness of 10 μm to 30 μm.

2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the shaft includes at least one second recess that has a surface bonded with the resin, and wherein the resin is provided within the at least one second recess.

3. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the coating material extends to the upper and lower surfaces of the ring magnet.

4. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the resin is formed by injection molding.

5. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the ring magnet includes a ferrite.

6. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first recess has a semicircular shape or a semioval shape.

7. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the resin includes a protrusion coupled to the first recess.

8. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein a height from the upper surface to the lower surface of the resin is greater than a height of an outer circumferential surface of the ring magnet.

9. A motor comprising:
a housing;
a stator provided in the housing; and
a rotor provided to be rotatable relative to the stator,
wherein the rotor includes a ring magnet having an insertion hole passing through the center thereof, a shaft inserted into the insertion hole, a coating material that covers an outer circumferential surface of the ring magnet, and a resin that covers an area between an inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole and the shaft, an upper surface of the ring magnet, and a lower surface of the ring magnet, the ring magnet having at least one first recess provided in the upper surface thereof,
wherein the first recess includes a bottom surface connected to the insertion hole and a sidewall that connects the bottom surface of the at least one first recess with the upper surface of the ring magnet, and the at least one first recess widens from the bottom surface towards the upper surface of the ring magnet,
wherein a distance that extends radially from an inner surface of the insertion hole to the outer circumferential surface of the ring magnet is greater than a distance that extends radially from an outer surface of the shaft to the inner surface of the insertion hole,
wherein a distance that extends radially from a center of the shaft to an outermost end of the resin extending to the upper surface and the lower surface of the ring magnet is greater than a distance that extends racially from the center of the shaft to an outermost end of the at least one first recess,
wherein the coating material includes Teflon and has a thickness of 10 μm to 30 μm.

10. The motor of claim 9 , wherein the shaft includes at least one second recess that has a surface bonded with the resin, and wherein the resin is provided within the at least one second recess.
