  • Patent number: 10965179
    Abstract: A stator assembly includes a stator that drives a rotor rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction, a cover that accommodates the stator, a filling portion that fills a space between the cover and the stator. The cover includes a tubular portion that extends in an axial direction and covers a radially side portion of the stator opposing the rotor in a radial direction, a lid portion that covers an axially upper end portion of the stator, and a cover stepped portion that is provided on a first radial side with respect to the tubular portion. The cover stepped portion comes in contact with the axially upper end portion of the stator and is positioned on an axially lower side with respect to an axially upper end portion of the tubular portion.

  • Patent number: 10897175
    Abstract: A stator assembly includes a stator that drives a rotor that is rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction, a stator support that supports the stator, and a filling portion that covers the stator. A first radial end portion of the stator is fixed to a second radial side surface of the stator support. An insulator of the stator includes an upper insulator covering an upper surface of a stator core. A first radial end portion of the upper insulator contacts the second radial side surface of the tubular stator support extending in an axial direction. An annular insulator concave portion that is recessed to the axial upper side is provided in the first radial end portion of the upper insulator. A first space, surrounded by the insulator concave portion, the stator core, and the stator support, is filled with a filling material.

  • Publication number: 20200274409
    Abstract: A motor of an outer rotor type provided in an air blower includes a rotor rotatable about a central axis extending in a vertical direction, and a stator to drive the rotor. The rotor includes a magnet on which magnetized regions including magnetic poles different from each other are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction, and a rotor yoke which is provided on a radial-directional outer surface of the magnet using a magnetic material, and includes a yoke cylinder extending in an axial direction. A cross-sectional area of the yoke cylinder viewed in the circumferential direction at a circumferential-directional position that overlaps a space between the adjacent magnetized regions in the radial direction is larger than a cross-sectional area of the yoke cylinder viewed in the circumferential direction at a circumferential-directional position that overlaps an inner portion of each magnetized region in the radial direction.
