MOTOR

摘要

A motor adapted to rotate an element of an appliance, for example, a drum of a washing machine, is disclosed. The motor includes a rotating shaft which is rotatably mounted to a motor mounting member of an appliance, a rotor which includes magnets circumferentially arranged at a position radially spaced apart from a center of the rotating shaft by a predetermined distance such that N and S poles are alternately arranged, and a stator which includes a core made of metal, an insulator enclosing the core while allowing a surface of the core facing the magnets of the rotor to be outwardly exposed, the insulator being made of an insulating resin material, coils wound on the insulator, and a circular molded member formed in accordance with an insert molding method to enclose the insulator and the coils while allowing the surface of the core outwardly exposed through the insulator to be outwardly exposed.
