An energy efficient low-power integral electronically commutated fan motor and control circuit assembly mounted on a circuit board for use in refrigerators utilizing a Hall sensor to provide positional control signals for sequential energization of the windings with the Hall sensor energization being pulsed, and the motor stator windings energized only during a portion of the period, when rotational torque produced by the energization is greatest in order to reduce the power input to the assembly. Integrally molded multi-function components including the coil bobbin, ground pin, Hall sensor holder, motor bearing oil well covers, and assembly housing provide positioning, support, and securing assistance along with electrical and magnetic operative connections and positioning. A capacitively coupled bridge power supply is provided to further reduce power consumption, and the motor is protected under fault and stall conditions by a current limiting circuit and a timed retry circuit, and the rotor and stator are designed for adequate starting torque in a refrigerator. Power is supplied to the motor windings through a voltage dropping capacitor connected in series therewith. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1.
A high-efficiency integrated evaporator fan motor and control assembly particularly adapted for use in refrigeration equipment to circulate air within a refrigerated space comprising: an electronically commutated DC motor; a circuit board including a plurality of electronic components and interconnections therebetween; said electronically commutated motor including a stator core, a permanent magnet rotor and at least one winding magnetically coupled to said stator core; a housing having means for positioning and supporting said motor and electronic components; a sensor, for sensing rotation of said rotor, connected in circuit with the interconnections of said circuit board and positioned in magnetic coupling relationship with said permanent magnet rotor; said electronic components including a DC power supply, and switching means to provide power from said DC power supply to said at least one winding in response to signals from said Hall device; said stator core being of the C-frame type; and said rotor including means for surrounding and containing the permanent magnets.
2.
The motor and control assembly of claim 1 wherein the housing includes an opening enabling an edge connector plug to pass therethrough for contact with conductors on said circuit board.
3.
A motor and control assembly comprising: an electronically commutated DC motor; said electronically commutated motor including a stator core, a permanent magnet rotor and at least one winding magnetically coupled to said stator core; a Hall sensor, for sensing rotation of said rotor, positioned in magnetic coupling relationship with said permanent magnet rotor; said assembly including electronic components, a DC power supply, and switching means for delivering power from said DC power supply to said at least one winding in response to signals from said Hall sensor; said control assembly also including means for pulsing energizing power supplied to said Hall device when said at least one winding is energized thereby to decrease the usage of such energizing power and to increase the efficiency of said assembly; said rotor including a plurality of arcuate magnetic segments secured to a cylindrical core; and an enclosure surrounding said magnetic segments and said cylindrical core
