摘要:
A stator comprises a ferromagnetic core having teeth. The stator also comprises first and second insulator members. The first and second insulating members collectively encircle each of the teeth of the core. The first insulating member comprising a plurality of mounting bosses spaced circumferentially from each other about the axis. Each of the mounting bosses has first and second retaining surfaces. The first and second retaining surfaces face axially opposite directions from each other and are exposed and are unobstructed by the second insulating member.

A horizontal axis washing machine includes an integrated motor and controller assembly. The controller is mounted to the electric motor with the controller positioned under a tub of the washing machine. The tub provides drip protection for the controller during operation of the washing machine. Additional embodiments include a motor and controller assembly in which a heat producing component of the controller is thermally coupled to a heat sink. The heat sink is positioned on an endshield of the electric motor and/or external to a housing of the motor controller. A stator of the electric motor can include one or more magnet wires attached directly to a connector for the motor controller.

The flexible insulated heater includes a heater mat surrounded by an insulation jacket. The heater mat is preferably made of two layers of fiberglass reinforced rubber sheets laminated together with resistive heater wires sandwiched between the laminated sheets. The heater mat is formed with a curvature and size to fit snugly around the peripheral surface of the pipe that is to be heated. A jacket of thermally insulative material, such as a polymer foam, is molded over the external surface of the heater mat. The insulated jacket holds the heat generated by the heater mat from escaping radially outward, and it protects against burns to persons who might touch the heater. The mat and the jacket are configured so that the heater has interfacing opposite edges and that meet and preferably touch each other when the heater is mounted on the pipe, but the combination of the mat and jacket have sufficient resilient flexibility to allow opening the heater by separating the edges enough to slip the heater over the pipe, whereupon the heater resumes its original inherent cylindrical shape when released. Snaps, Velcro.TM. fastening material straps, or other suitable fasteners can be used to secure the heaters snugly around the pipe, if desired, although the biased resilience of the heater to its formed shape is generally sufficient itself to hold the heater in place. A power cord, control cavity, and an optional overmold provide electric power to the heating wires or elements in the heating mat. A system of flexible insulated heaters can be daisy-chained or ganged together to heat and insulate a network of pipes.

A motor includes a rotor having at least one magnet. A stator includes multiple teeth and a sensor adjacent the magnet, or adjacent an air gap that is defined between the rotor and the stator. The majority of the teeth are identical in shape, or at least substantially identical. However, there is at least one distinct tooth (from among the teeth) that has a recess shaped to receive the sensor or a sensor housing. Thus, the distinct tooth has a different shape than the majority of the teeth to accommodate the sensor or sensor assembly.

An interconnecting ring and wire guide for an electric machine includes an annular radial ring having a radially inner edge and a radially outer edge. An axial ring projects axially from the radially inner edge of the annular radial ring. A guide positioner positions the annular radial ring and the axial ring relative to the electric machine. Wire dividers are located on a radially outer surface of the radial ring. The wire dividers include a plurality of circumferential projections that are formed on the radially outer surface of the radial ring. A plurality of wire guides are located adjacent to a radially outer edge of the annular radial ring. Indicia on an outer surface of the annular radial ring identifies at least one of a mounting position for the interconnecting ring and wire guide and a wiring schematic for phases wiring of the electric machine.
