Abstract: In this molded structure of the brushless fan motor, at least a part of a circuit board is supported by a notch portion in a distal end portion of a projecting end formed on a board storage portion side and a rotary shaft side of an insulator, the board storage portion and the insulator are placed in such a manner as to surround a periphery of a bearing support tube portion, a part of a molded portion is disposed between the bearing support tube portion and the insulator and between the board storage portion and the insulator, and the entire circuit board located inside a storage chamber, excluding the portion supported by the projecting end formed on the board storage portion side of the insulator, is covered with the part of the molded portion.

Abstract: A waterproof blower includes a casing and at least four drain holes placed along a circumferential direction of the casing in the outer peripheral wall portion, in the first side wall portion, or in the second side wall portion of the casing. The at least four drain holes communicate with the inside and the outside of the casing. The at least four drain holes each have an opening on an inner side of the casing. The openings of adjacent two drain holes of the drain holes as viewed in a direction of a rotation axis of the impeller are placed at positions where a straight line as a chord linking portions, which are located on the outermost peripheral side of the casing, of opening edges at the shortest distance hardly intersects with the impeller.

Abstract: A molded part is formed of an insulating resin such that a stator, electronic components, and a circuit substrate are included inside the molded part. A protective layer for preventing breakage of electrical connection that might occur due to expansion or shrinkage of the molded part is provided at least between the electronic components and the molded part. The protective layer is formed of an insulating material having shear adhesion strength smaller than that of an insulating resin of the molded part that has been cured. The shear adhesion strength and the thickness of the protective layer are defined so that, when the expansion or shrinkage which might cause the breakage of the electrical connection has taken place in the insulating resin of the molded part, separation between the electronic components and the protective layer can be caused.

Abstract: A molded part 45 is formed of an insulating resin in such a manner that a stator 1, electronic components 15, and a circuit substrate 3 are included in its inside. A protective layer 53 for preventing breakage of electrical connection that might occur due to expansion or shrinkage of the molded part 45 is provided at least between the electronic components 15 and the molded part 45. The protective layer 53 is formed of an insulating material having shear adhesion strength smaller than that of an insulating resin of the molded part 45 that has been cured. The shear adhesion strength and the thickness of the protective layer 53 are defined so that, when the expansion or shrinkage which might cause the breakage of the electrical connection has taken place in the insulating resin of the molded part 45, separation between the electronic components 15 and the protective layer 53 can be caused.
