Abstract

A motor includes a rotor, a stator, a housing, and a driving shaft. The rotor includes a rotor body and two rotor covers fixed with two ends of the rotor body respectively. The stator sleeves on the rotor body. The housing sleeves on the stator. The housing includes a base body, a first cover, and a second cover. The base body sleeves on the stator. The first cover and the second cover assembling with opposite ends of the base body correspondingly. The first cover defines an oil inlet hole and an oil outlet hole. A driving shaft passes through and non-rotatably connected to the rotor body and the two rotor covers. Two recesses are separately formed in an inner surface of the base body and two gaps formed between the base body and the stator thereof corresponding to the oil inlet hole and the oil outlet hole.
