A system for driving a washing machine includes a housing; a plurality of supports extending from the housing in a vertical direction and spaced apart therefrom in a circumferential direction; a supporter supported by the plurality of supports and extending in a circumferential direction; a stator movably coupled to the plurality of supports in a vertical direction; a rotor facing the stator; an output shaft coupled to the rotor and bearing-coupled to the housing; a plurality of cam guides extending radially inward of the stator; and an actuator for adjusting an area where the stator and the rotor face each other by moving the plurality of cam guides in a vertical direction.

Drive system of a washing machine

An electric motor assembly includes a stator and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator. The stator includes a stator core including a yoke that has a ring shape and a plurality of teeth radially coupled to an inner surface of the yoke, a stator coil that is wound around the stator core, and an insulator disposed between the stator core and the stator coil. The insulator includes a yoke insulator that is coupled to the yoke with a first coupling tolerance defined between the yoke insulator and the plurality of tooth insulators, and a plurality of tooth insulators that are coupled to the plurality of teeth, respectively, with a second coupling tolerance defined between the yoke and the plurality of teeth. The first coupling tolerance is less than the second coupling tolerance.

Electric motor assembly

A valve actuator includes: a housing, a motor that is disposed in the housing and that includes a motor shaft, a drive gear coupled to the motor shaft, a transfer gear that engages with the drive gear and that is configured to, based on the drive gear rotating, be rotated according to a predetermined gear ratio, an output shaft disposed in the housing, an output gear that is coupled to the output shaft and that engages with the transfer gear, and a stopper that is disposed in the housing and that is configured to control a rotation radius of the output gear. The transfer gear comprises an inner part, an outer part disposed at an outside of the inner part, a first magnet disposed at the outer part, and a second magnet that is disposed at the inner part and that faces the first magnet.

Valve actuator

A motor includes a rotary shaft having at least one spray hole for spraying a cooling fluid, a rotor installed on the rotary shaft, and a stator surrounding an outer circumference of the rotor, wherein the rotor includes a plurality of rotor blocks arranged on an outer circumference of the rotary shaft. Each of the rotor blocks may include a magnet installed at a rotor core and a cooling guide may be disposed between a pair of the plurality of rotor blocks and form a spray flow path for guiding a cooling fluid that has passed through the spray hole to be sprayed in a direction toward an inner circumference of the stator.
