Abstract

Provided is a commutator of a motor including a body and hooks forming coil-receiving spaces between the body and inner surfaces of the hooks, wherein the hooks include recesses concavely formed on the inner surfaces of the hooks, and coils are seated on the recesses. Thus the present disclosure provides an advantageous effect of increasing fixing force of the hooks.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A commutator of a motor comprising:
a body; and
hooks electrically connected to the body and fixing to coils therein,
wherein the hooks comprise a plurality of recesses formed on inner surfaces of the hooks in a width direction of the hooks,
wherein a size of a first recess is larger than a size of a second recess,
wherein each of the hooks comprise an end portion and a bent portion, the bent portion connects the body and the end portion,
wherein the first recess is closer to the end portion of the hook than the second recess.

2. The commutator of the motor of claim 1 , wherein the bent portion protrudes radially outward more than the end portion.

3. The commutator of the motor of claim 1 , wherein the bent portion comprises a first bent portion connected to the body and a second bent portion connected to the end portion, and curvatures of the first bent portion and the second bent portion are different from each other.

4. The commutator of the motor of claim 1 , wherein the recesses comprise serrations.

5. The commutator of the motor of claim 4 , wherein the serrations are formed in the width direction of the hooks.

6. The commutator of the motor of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the hooks to a depth of the recesses is in a range of 1:0.1 to 1:0.5.

7. A motor comprising:
a stator;
a rotor arranged in the stator;
a shaft coupled with the rotor; and
a commutator comprising:
a body arranged on an upper end of the rotor; and
hooks electrically connected to the body and fixing to coils therein,
wherein the hooks comprise a plurality of recesses formed on inner surfaces of the hooks in a width direction of the hooks,
wherein a size of a first recess is larger than a size of a second recess,
wherein each of the hooks comprise an end portion and a bent portion, wherein the bent portion connects to the body and the end portion, and
wherein the first recess is closer to the end portion of the hook than the second recess.

8. The motor of claim 7 , wherein the bent portion protrudes radially outward more than the end portion.

9. The motor of claim 7 , wherein the bent portion comprises a first bent portion connected to the body and a second bent portion connected to the end portion, and curvatures of the first bent portion and the second bent portion are different from each other.

10. The motor of claim 7 , wherein the recesses comprise serrations.

11. The motor of claim 7 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the hook to a depth of the recesses is in a range of 1:0.1 to 1:0.5.
