Abstract
A switched reluctance motor includes: a stator including a cylindrical body, a plurality of salient poles coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and provided with a winding coil, and an exterior member formed as a cylindrical shape by encompassing an assembly formed by coupling of the cylindrical body, the salient poles and the like; a rotor rotatably inserted inside the exterior member of the stator; a rotary shaft coupled to the rotor; and a phase indication magnet coupled to the rotor or the rotary shaft. Accordingly, an external structure of the motor is simplified, and the number of components and the number of assembling processes are remarkably reduced.

A switched reluctance motor comprising:
- a stator including:
- a cylindrical body,
- a plurality of salient poles coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical body and provided with a winding coil, and
- a cylindrical-shape exterior member encompassing the cylindrical body and the salient poles;
- a rotor rotatably inserted inside the exterior member of the stator;
- a rotary shaft coupled to the rotor;
- a phase indication magnet coupled to the rotor or the rotary shaft;
- at least one sensor mounted at one of the salient poles and sensing a phase of the phase indication magnet;
- a sensor substrate connected to the sensor;
- and
- a parking magnet mounted at another salient pole facing the salient pole mounted at the sensor, for stopping and positioning the rotor at an effective torque generation area together with the phase indication magnet,
- wherein the cylindrical-shape exterior member is formed by molding the cylindrical body, the salient poles, the parking magnet, the sensor and the sensor substrate so as to encompass the cylindrical body, the salient poles, the parking magnet, the sensor and the sensor substrate having been assembled.
