  • Patent number: 8587172
    Abstract: A sensor fastening method and a sensor fastening frame for use therewith are provided. The sensor fastening frame is coupled to a motor stator of a brushless motor having distributed coils and extends over the distributed coils to allow the sensor fastening frame to rotate about the axle of a motor rotor, without interference with the distributed coils. At least a sensor is fastened in position to the sensor fastening frame proximate to one end of the axle of the motor stator for positioning the sensor to detect magnetic field variations of the motor rotor.

  • Patent number: 8508091
    Abstract: An end cover adapted to engage with an end surface of a spindle of a motor rotor is proposed for securely coupling to the spindle with a plurality of permanent magnets disposed around the peripheral wall of the spindle. The end cover has a first surface facing an end surface of the spindle and an second surface opposing to the first surface, which is formed with a plurality of inserting slots indentedly disposed around the rim thereof and corresponding to the permanent magnets for coupling the ends of the permanent magnets, thereby securely fastening each of the permanent magnets to the spindle of the motor rotor. Further, the present invention further provides a motor rotor having the end covers described above.

  • Patent number: 8384262
    Abstract: A motor rotor includes an annular body and a plurality of magnetic bodies installed on an inner lateral surface of the annular body in an irregular manner, to prevent a rotating motor from generating a cogging effect, disperse the frequency of the cogging torque, and reduce the amplitude. Accordingly, noises generated while the motor is operating are reduced, the periodicity of a cogging torque is changed, and cogging torque is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20120043843
    Abstract: A motor rotor includes an annular body and a positioning protrusion installed on an inner lateral surface of the annular body. A magnetic body may be positioned by propping its lateral surface against the positioning protrusion, without the use of additional jigs. Therefore, the time needed to assemble the magnetic body to the annular body is saved, and the manufacturing cost of the whole motor is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8050057
    Abstract: A mounting structure for fixing an electronic element on a heat dissipation unit is provided. The mounting structure includes a heat dissipation unit, a fixing member, electronic elements and elastic elements. The fixing member is fixed on the heat dissipation unit. The elastic elements are sandwiched between the electronic elements and the fixing member, wherein the fixing member and the elastic elements press the electronic elements to make the electronic elements tightly contact the heat dissipation unit.

  • Patent number: 7888835
    Abstract: A rotating shaft disclosed by the present invention includes a plurality of bumps spacedly formed along an outer circumferential surface thereof. The bumps are each formed with two engagement portions extending outwardly and bilaterally and a deformation space therebetween. The engagement portions undergo resilient deformation toward the deformation space when subjected to a force, thus providing stable engagement with a magnetic body, protecting the magnetic body from cracks and damages during assembling, and enhancing yield. The present invention further discloses a motor rotor having the above-described rotating shaft.
