## Abstract

An electric drive motor has a stator with at least one electrically energizable stator winding, and a rotor which is mounted in a rotationally driveable manner in the field of the at least one stator winding so as to leave free an annular gap. The motor also has a motor shaft and a magnet carrier which is arranged coaxially in relation to the motor shaft and has at least one permanent magnet which is arranged on an outer periphery of the magnet carrier. The motor shaft and the magnet carrier are of integral design by way of the motor shaft and the magnet carrier being jointly produced from an individual starting metal sheet by shaping to form an integrally shaped rotor body. There is also described a wet-rotor pump and a domestic appliance having an electric drive motor of this kind.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electric drive motor, comprising:
a stator with at least one electrically-actuatable stator winding;
a rotor rotatably mounted in a field of said stator winding and leaving free an annular gap;
a motor shaft and a magnet carrier, said magnet carrier being arranged coaxially in relation to said motor shaft and having at least one permanent magnet arranged on an outer periphery of said magnet carrier;
said motor shaft and said magnet carrier being integrally formed in one piece, with said motor shaft and said magnet carrier having characteristics of having been jointly produced from a single initial metal sheet formed into an integrally shaped rotor body; and
said integrally shaped rotor body having a motor shaft section and a magnet carrier section;
said integrally shaped rotor body having a connecting section at an axial end face of said integrally shaped rotor body integrally connecting said motor shaft section to said magnet carrier section;
said magnet carrier section extending substantially coaxially to an axis of said motor shaft section from said connecting section, and said connecting section extending substantially perpendicular to an axis of said motor shaft section between said motor shaft section and said magnet carrier section;
said integrally shaped rotor body having at least one end face side breakthrough on said connecting section; and
said integrally shaped rotor body having at least one channel extending substantially radially at least partially between said motor shaft section and said magnet carrier section formed in said connecting section, said integrally shaped rotor body having a hole at a radial end of said at least one channel in said connecting section configured for fluid to overflow from an outside of the integral shaped rotor body into the inside of the hollow cylindrical magnet carrier section.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electric drive motor according to claim 1, further comprising a separately produced magnetically conducting supplementary ring fastened to a surface of said magnet carrier section of said integrally shaped rotor body, and wherein said at least one permanent magnet is arranged on said supplementary ring.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electric drive motor according to claim 2, wherein said magnet carrier section and/or said-magnetically conducting supplementary ring is formed with at least one pocket and/or a recess, each forming a flow channel for conveying plastic material in a gap between an outer surface wall of said magnet carrier section and a rear side of said at least one permanent magnet facing towards said magnet carrier section during an insert molding of said integrally shaped rotor body with the plastic material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electric drive motor according to claim 1, wherein said at least one permanent magnet is glued to said magnet carrier section by way of a magnetic adhesive.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electric drive motor according to claim 1, wherein said at least one permanent magnet is fastened to said magnet carrier section by insert molding of said integrally shaped rotor body with a plastic material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electric drive motor according to claim 5, wherein said at least one end-face side breakthrough forms an overflow opening for an overflow of plastic material from one side of said integrally shaped rotor body to an opposite side of said integrally shaped rotor body during an insert molding of said integrally shaped rotor body with the plastic material.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electric drive motor according to claim 1, wherein said motor shaft section has a free shaft end configured for bearing a running wheel on said motor shaft section, and an outer surface of said free shaft end is formed with knurling and/or a flat portion for torsion-proof bearing of the running wheel on said motor shaft section.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electric drive motor according to claim 1, wherein said motor shaft section is a hollow shaft formed with an opening on opposite shaft ends for forming a coaxial flow channel through said motor shaft section.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

A wet rotor pump, comprising:
a pump chamber wall delimiting a wet space of the wet rotor pump;
a pump wheel mounted rotatably in the wet space; and
an electric drive motor according to claim 1 for rotatably driving said pump wheel.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The wet rotor pump according to claim 9, wherein said pump wheel is fastened to a shaft end of a motor shaft section of said integrally shaped rotor body.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A household appliance, comprising:
wet rotor pump having a pump chamber wall delimiting a wet space of the wet rotor pump, and a pump wheel mounted rotatably in said wet space; and
an electric drive motor according to claim 1 for rotatably driving said pump wheel in said wet space.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The household appliance according to claim 11 being a dishwasher, a washing machine, a dryer, or an extractor hood.
