SINGLE-PHASE OUTER-ROTOR MOTOR AND ELECTRIC APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME

A single-phase outer-rotor motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core with windings wound thereon. The stator core includes a yoke and multiple teeth each including a tooth body and a tooth tip. The rotor includes a rotor yoke and a permanent magnet forming a plurality of magnetic poles facing the tooth tips of the stator core. The magnetic poles and the tooth tips define a gap there between. When the motor is de-energized, the rotor is capable of being positioned at an initial position by a leakage magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet acting with the tooth tips of the stator core.
