HAIL ELEMENT SEALING STRUCTURE AND MOTOR USING SAME
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The invention relates to a sealing structure of a Hall element and a
motor
comprising the same.
DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[0002] Typically, the circuit board of motors for mounting a Hall element is
often directly
installed on the terminal insulator of the stator assembly, and the Hall
element protrudes
out of the circuit board and leans against the outer end of the rotor assembly
to detect
position signals of the rotor. However, the installation structure of the Hall
element is
often unreliable, and the circuit board and the Hall element are easily
detached from the
terminal insulator when the motor is running or when vibration happens.
Meanwhile,
because the circuit board and the Hall element are exposed, they tend to be
stained or
contaminated, which adversely affects the operation of the motor, and requires
high
maintenance costs, and decreases the market competitiveness of products_
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] In view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the
invention to
provide a sealing structure of a Hall element and a motor comprising the same.
The
sealing structure features simple, convenient and reliable installation. The
circuit board
and the Hall element of the sealing structure have good sealing and waterproof
properties,
and stable working performance. The motor features simple structure and
convenient
installation, and strong market competitiveness.
