Abstract:
A bearing for a drive motor is provided. The bearing includes an inner race that is coupled to a rotation shaft, an outer race that is coupled to a motor housing, and rolling members that are rotatably disposed between a raceway surface of the inner race and a raceway surface of the outer race. Additionally, a retainer is disposed between the inner race and the outer race and supports the rolling members at a predetermined interval along a circumferential direction. A conductive guide member is formed in each of the inner race and the outer race and forms a current path between the inner race and the outer race through the retainer.

Claim (Index 1):
A bearing for a drive motor having an inner race coupled to a rotation shaft, an outer race coupled to a motor housing, and rolling members rotatably disposed between a raceway surface of the inner race and a raceway surface of the outer race, comprising:\n a retainer disposed between the inner race and the outer race and configured to support the rolling members at a predetermined interval along a circumferential direction thereof; and a conductive guide member formed in each of the inner race and the outer race and that forms a current path between the inner race and the outer race through the retainer wherein the retainer is formed at a predetermined interval along the circumferential direction and includes a pocket member that supports the rolling members, and wherein the conductive guide member corresponding to the pocket member is formed in the inner race and the outer race along the circumferential direction thereof, wherein the conductive guide member includes a current carrying protrusion that protrudes in a radial direction, is disposed along the circumferential direction of the inner race and the outer race, and is disposed at a predetermined clearance with respect to the pocket member, wherein the current carrying protrusion of the inner race is integrally formed at a first side edge portion of the inner race at a predetermined clearance with respect to a first side of the pocket member, and wherein the current carrying protrusion of the outer race is integrally formed at a second side edge portion of the outer race at a predetermined clearance with respect to a second side of the pocket member, and wherein a discharge phenomenon in which an electric spark occurs due to a shaft current in the rotation shaft is generated in the current carrying protrusion and the pocket member.
