A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003142B2) discloses a unique Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) blower motor design. The blower motor includes a stator with electromagnets and a rotor that moves angularly due to a pulsating magnetic field between the stator and rotor. The rotor features a magnet holder with vibration damping material to alter the frequency characteristic of the pulsating vibration. This design aims to enhance the performance and durability of the HVAC blower motor by reducing vibrations and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, the patent covers variations such as the use of brushless DC technology and specific materials for the vibration damping strip.

Furthermore, the patent extends to an HVAC blower motor with a unique vibration damping material comprising a viscoelastic asphaltic blend with specific properties. The material is designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including heat aging and humidity exposure, ensuring long-term reliability and performance of the HVAC blower motor. The patent also includes claims for an HVAC blower and an HVAC module incorporating the innovative blower motor design. Overall, this patented technology represents a significant advancement in HVAC blower motor design, focusing on efficiency, durability, and performance in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems.
