Abstract
A fan motor may include a shroud, an impeller accommodated in the shroud, a motor connected to the impeller through a rotational shaft, and a motor housing that accommodates the motor. The motor housing may include an outer wall, an inner wall, a cover that covers an upstream end of the inner wall, and at least one vane disposed between an inner circumferential surface of the outer wall and an outer circumferential surface of the inner wall. A discharge passage may be defined between the inner wall and an outer circumferential of the stator. Air in an air pocket formed by the cover, the inner wall, and an upstream end of the motor may be discharged into the discharge passage by a high flow rate of air passing through the at least one vane. Accordingly, air inside of the air pocket may be externally discharged without stagnating.
