  • Patent number: 7358636
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a housing that receives multiple magnets that are circumferentially arranged in the housing. A resilient member has two inserted portions that are respectively inserted into gaps formed among the magnets. For example, four inserted portions of the two resilient members are respectively inserted into four gaps formed among four magnets, so that the inserted portions are resiliently deformed in the gaps. The inserted portions apply force to the magnets such that the magnets are circumferentially spaced from each other. Thus, the four magnets are urged onto an inner wall of the housing by the two resilient members. As a result, movement of the magnets is restricted in both of the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the housing. Therefore, the magnets can be maintained in the housing using a simple structure without increasing the number of components.

  • Publication number: 20070278894
    Abstract: In a motor having a pawl-shaped magnetic pole, if a coil is wound like a ring shape so as to be formed, one leader line can be generally drawn out to an external portion from a position close to an outer periphery of a stator, however, the other leader line is drawn out to the external portion from an inner periphery of the stator. Accordingly, the leader line occupies a part of the inner space formed by the stator core, so that there is generated a problem that a space factor of the coil is reduced. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the space factor of the coil. In order to achieve the object mentioned above, a space passing wirings of a plurality of coils therethrough is provided in a part of the pawl-shaped magnetic pole of the stator core of the stator having the pawl-shaped magnetic pole.
