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 by assembly interference caused by a difference in the tips in assembling the upper and lower insulators the stator and enhancing loading efficiency of a cylindrical sleeve provided to inner circumference of fastening holes of the upper and lower insulators. The present invention includes a helical core having multiple layers formed by winding steel plates in a helix, the steel plate having a base portion with teeth projected from the base portion, an upper and lower insulators of an electric insulating material covered on upper and lower sides of the helical core in shapes complementary to shapes of the helical core, respectively, and at least three fastening portions formed as one body in each of the upper and lower insulators and projected from an inside of the helical core toward a center of the stator, wherein a boss forming a fastening hole for securing the stator to a tub wall with fastening members is provided, wherein a ridge portion, projected toward the confronting insulator, is provided to a vicinity of the boss, and wherein the ridge portions are pressed closely together in assembling the upper and lower insulators.
