Patent number: 8226350Abstract: A fan apparatus includes a casing and a fan unit. The casing is a hollow member having an inlet and an outlet. The fan unit has an inlet and an outlet, and includes a plurality of axial fans. The fan unit is disposed on the inside of the casing, and the inlet of the fan unit is disposed in the vicinity of the inlet of the casing. The position of the fan unit within the casing can be varied in order to alter the air flow and static pressure of the air discharged by the fan apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Nidec CorporationInventors: Tomo Hayashigaito, Kenji Iwamoto, Yoshihisa Kato, Hironobu Nishida, Suguru Yamada, Manabu Miyakoda

Publication number: 20080213103Abstract: An axial flow fan includes a housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet, a motor mounted to the housing and an impeller including blades. The housing includes an expanded portion adjacent the air outlet. In the expanded portion, the inner diameter of the housing increases towards the air outlet so that the expanded portion has an inner end where its diameter is smallest. The trailing edge of each blade is inclined, with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the impeller, so as to extend toward the air inlet from a radially innermost end of the edge to a radially outermost end of the edge. The radially outermost end of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air inlet than the inner end of the expanded portion, and the radially innermost end of the of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air outlet than inner end of the expanded portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2008Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Manabu Miyakoda, Hironobu Nishida, Suguru Yamada

Patent number: 6160334Abstract: In a thin type flexible disk drive motor, in order to improve undesirable jittering of rotation, an inertia ring of larger diameter than that of the rotor frame is fixed immediately under the rotor. The inertia ring consists of a short cylinder part of the larger diameter to be fixed under the rotor frame and a flange part of the diameter not smaller than that of FG (frequency generation) magnet part. The disk drive motor also has a drive pin engaging assembly that allows a drive pin to be secured within a hub of the flexible disk while stabilizing the drive pin and after disk chucking.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1998Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyoshi Teshima, Hironobu Nishida

Patent number: 5621260Abstract: In a coreless motor, a shaft of the coreless motor does not pass through a magnet but is arranged in series with a columnar magnet on the same axis. The magnet is inserted in a tubular frame made of magnetic material and a coil which is mounted on the shaft is inserted in the gap between the outer surface of the magnet and the inner surface of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1993Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kodo Fukuoka, Kouji Kuyama, Miyuki Furuya, Hironobu Nishida, Hiroto Inoue, Yukihiro Okada
