Abstract
The present invention provides an outer rotor type motor for a drum type washing machine to reduce material and weight for fabrication, simplify fabrication process, provide stable assembly of a stator to a fixing side, such as a tub or a bearing housing, prevent unwinding of stacked steel plates in assembling a helical core, and reduce stress on the steel plates of the core. The present invention includes a helical core having multiple layers formed by winding steel plates in a helix starting from a bottom layer to a top layer, the steel plate having a base portion with teeth projected from the base portion, an upper insulator of an electric insulating material covered on an upper side of the helical core in a shape complementary to a shape of the helical core, a lower insulator of an electric insulating material covered on a lower side of the helical core at the time of assembly with the upper insulator having a shape complementary to a shape of a helical core, and a fastening means for at least two steel plates wound in a helix to prevent unwinding of any two adjacently stacked steel plates and prevent gaps between any two adjacent layers of the stacked steel plates.
