Description

MOTOR FOR WASHING MACHINE
The present invention relates to a motor for a washing machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a BLDC motor for a washing machine which assembles a printed circuit board having a Hall sensor IC mounted thereon to one side of a front housing, thereby reducing the length of the motor, and also reducing the number of components required for Hall sensing and thus saving the costs for manufacturing the motor.
In general, a motor is an electrical machine that converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate a torque, which is used widely in industrial apparatuses as well as household appliances.
As to a motor for a washing machine among various motors, Korean Patent No. 10-1707142 suggests a BLDC motor (brushless motor) comprising: a stator core to which a front insulator and a rear insulator are coupled; a front housing and a rear housing for storing the stator core, in which legs are fixed; and a rotor which is positioned inside the stator core in the front and rear housings to rotate, having a shaft formed through the center thereof to be coupled thereto. Such motors have a circuit for controlling a rotating magnetic field by detecting a magnetic flux using a sensor magnet without a commutator. The sensor magnet is coupled to an end of the shaft of the motor.
A motor using a sensor magnet has the same features as a brush-type motor by fixing the sensor magnet to the back end of the shaft inside the rear housing using a bolt and mounting a Hall sensor for detecting the rotation of the sensor magnet on a printed circuit board in the inner surface of the rear housing in a DIM type, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-7731.
The prior art may have the effect of improving the detection of rotation position of a rotor, but requires a fixing bolt for fixing a sensor magnet to a shaft and a separate fixing bolt for fixing a sensor assembly including a printed circuit board having a Hall sensor mounted thereon and a sensor cover, thereby causing an increase in the manufacturing costs due to the material costs and processing costs for assembling components, and leading to a complicate assembly process and decreasing production efficiency.
In addition, a sensor magnet and a printed circuit board having a Hall sensor corresponding thereto mounted thereon are installed in the back end of the shaft inside the rear housing. Thus, the motor has a long length and an increased weight, which makes it difficult to secure a space for installing the motor in a washing machine and install the motor.
Accordingly, in order to overcome the above problem, the present inventors suggest a motor for a washing machine having a novel structure.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor for a washing machine having a novel structure of assembling a printed circuit board having a SMD type Hall sensor IC mounted thereon to one side in a front insulator, thereby reducing the length and weight of a motor, and also reducing the number of components required for Hall sensing and saving the costs for manufacturing the motor.
The above and other inherent objects of the present invention may all be easily achieved by the description of the present invention described below.
A motor 100 for a washing machine according to the present invention stores a printed circuit board 60 having a Hall sensor IC 61 mounted thereon in a coupling means 120 formed in one side in a front housing 11 of the motor 100 to be positioned in the front housing 11.
In the present invention, the Hall sensor IC 61 mounted on the printed circuit board 60 may be mounted on the printed circuit board 60 by surface mount technology using a surface mount device (SMD).
In the present invention, the coupling means 120 may comprise first and second guide pieces 121, 122 formed in the inner surface of a weight loss space 110, protruding towards one side of a front insulator 21 in the left and right directions at a predetermined interval; a weight loss space inner bottom surface 123 formed between the first guide piece 121 and the second guide piece 122; a printed circuit board storing case 124 seated by being coupled to the weight loss space inner bottom surface 123 by a coupling bolt B; and a fitting protrusion 124A for coupling a printed circuit board, protruding inside the printed circuit board storing case 124.
In the present invention, the first guide piece 121 and the second guide piece 122 may have fitting guide recesses 121A, 122A, respectively, curved outwardly of the center.
In the present invention, preferably, the printed circuit board storing case 124 comprises a printed circuit board storing space 124-1 formed in the center of the main body; a support protrusion 124-2 arranged in the printed circuit board storing space 124-1 at a predetermined interval; a fitting protrusion 124A for coupling a printed circuit board, protruding inside the printed circuit board storing case 124; and first and second curved parts 125, 126 having coupling holes 125', 126', protruding outwardly of the left and right ends of the main body.
In the present invention, preferably, a locking stop 124A' formed in the fitting protrusion 124A for coupling a printed circuit board protruding inside the printed circuit board storing case 124 is fitted into a fitting hole 62 in the printed circuit board 60, such that the printed circuit board 60 having the Hall sensor IC 61 mounted thereon is assembled to the printed circuit board storing case 124.
In the present invention, a positioning recess 127 curved upwardly may be formed in the lower part of the printed circuit board storing case 124, and a corresponding positioning recess 63 curved upwardly may be formed in the lower part of the printed circuit board 60 corresponding thereto, to be assembled.
The present invention assembles a printed circuit board having a SMD type Hall sensor IC mounted thereon to one side in a front insulator, capable of providing convenience in assembling, shortening an assembly process and improving the productivity of a motor, and reducing the number of components such as a separate Hall sensor cover, a printed circuit board stored in the Hall sensor cover, a sensor magnet, a fixing bolt for fixing these components, etc., thereby saving the material costs and also significantly reducing the weight of a motor, resulting in lower costs for manufacturing a motor.
Also, the present invention uses a printed circuit board having a SMD type Hall sensor IC mounted thereon, thereby reducing the processing costs to be incurred to assemble the Hall sensor IC.
Also, the present invention allows the printed circuit board having a Hall sensor IC mounted thereon to be positioned in the front housing without disturbing the rotation of a rotor, thereby making a compact motor, and thus minimizing a space for installing the motor.

Reference numerals 32 and 33 refer to a front bearing and a rear bearing, respectively; and 50 refers to a power connection part. Front and rear fixing brackets 11-1, 12-1 are formed in the front housing 11 and rear housing 12, respectively, to support the motor 100 on the bottom surface.
Hereinafter, the present invention mainly describes "a motor for a washing machine", but is not necessarily limited to a motor for a washing machine. The present invention may also apply to a drying machine for laundry or a motor for other use.
The present invention may store a printed circuit board 60 having a Hall sensor IC 61 mounted thereon in a coupling means 120 formed in one side in a front housing 11 of the motor 100 to be positioned in the front housing 11 without disturbing the rotation of the rotor 40, to detect the rotation position of the rotor 40.
A terminal of the Hall sensor IC 61 mounted on the printed circuit board 60 is connected to a coil of the coil winding part to determine the current direction of the stator winding. Accordingly, a BLDC motor for a washing machine having the features of a brush type motor can be provided.
The present invention having the above configuration forms a weight loss space 110 recessed into one side of the front housing 11.
