Dual Rotor Motor

Abstract

The present invention relates to motors, and more particularly, to a dual-rotor type motor suitable for use in washing machines and the like. The dual-rotor type motor comprises: an outer rotor (10) having a first base (14) and a first extension (15) extending from the circumference of the first base (14) substantially perpendicular to the extending circumferentially, a first extension (15) having an outer magnet (11) mounted on an inner circumferential surface; an inner rotor (20) having a second base (24) and a second extension (25), The second base is installed on the upper surface of the first base (14) concentrically with the first base (14), and the second extension extends from the circumference of the second base (24) so ​​as to face the direction of the first extension (15). The inner side is opposed to the first extension (15) with a predetermined gap, the second extension (25) has an inner magnet (21) installed on the outer peripheral surface; and a bushing (40), which is located on the first base ( 14) and the center of the second base (24), for transmitting the rotational force from the outer rotor (10) and the inner rotor (20) to the rotating shaft (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to motors, and more particularly, to a dual-rotor type motor suitable for use in washing machines and the like. Background technique [0002] In general, a washing machine washes laundry by utilizing friction between wash water and laundry in a drum rotated by a motor while detergent, wash water, and laundry are introduced into the drum. The drum is a washing tub for holding washing water and clothes and is suitable for a washing machine regardless of whether the washing machine is a drum type or an agitator type. [0003] Meanwhile, according to the driving type of the washing machine, it is divided into an indirect coupling type and a direct coupling type, wherein, in the indirect coupling type, the driving power is indirectly transmitted from the motor to the drum through a belt wound around the motor pulley and the drum pulley, while in the In the direct coupling type, the motor is directly coupled to the drum to dire...

Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, currently, in order to keep up with the increase in the capacity of the washing machine, although it also requires an increase in the output of the motor for rotating the drum, such increased output of the motor requires a large rotor and stator, thereby significantly increasing the size and weight of the motor.

[0015] Therefore, the increase in the size of the motor results in a significant increase in the size of the washing machine etc. to which this motor is applied.
