Patent number: 7885065Abstract: Provided is a fan motor apparatus. The fan motor apparatus includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor includes a blade. The stator includes a rotor supporting mechanism, a supporting member, and a vibration insulation member. The rotor supporting mechanism rotatably supports the rotor. The supporting member supports the rotor supporting mechanism. The vibration insulation member is provided between the rotor supporting mechanism and the supporting member. The stator is capable of regulating relative movement of the rotor supporting mechanism and the supporting member.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2008Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Sachiko Kaneko, Yuji Shishido, Takashi Mochida, Hideo Niikura, Atsushi Kikuchi, Makoto Chiyoda

Patent number: 7732956Abstract: A motor includes a shaft that serves as a rotation center when a rotor is rotated with respect to a stator, a bearing that supports the shaft in a circumferential direction of the shaft, a thrust bearing that supports one end of the shaft in a thrust direction of the shaft, a magnet that is fixed to the rotor and alternately magnetized to different poles in a rotational direction of the shaft, a core that is fixed to the stator and disposed to face the magnet in a radial direction of the shaft, a coil that are wound around the core, and a magnetic shield that shields leakage flux leaking from the magnet to the coil. A magnetic center of the core is offset from a magnetic center of the magnet in the thrust direction, so that the shaft is attracted to the thrust bearing.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takashi Mochida, Sachiko Kaneko

Patent number: 7458415Abstract: The rotation of axial-flow blades permits air entered through an inlet port to exit directly to outside of a case in the axial direction, and the rotation of centrifugal blades permits air entered through the inlet port to exit through a side surface outlet port to the outside of the case in the centrifugal direction. Accordingly, the amount of flow of air exiting from inside of the case can be increased so that the amount of heat dissipation is increased. It is therefore able to provide a cooling apparatus and electronic equipment mounting the cooling apparatus with improved cooling efficiency while achieving a small thickness.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2006Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshio Hashimoto, Toru Kimura, Sachiko Kaneko

Patent number: 7381027Abstract: A fan motor having a small thickness and its impeller's blades formed to have a longer length in the diametrical direction than a width in the axial direction. Since the blade of the fan motor has a tooth structure or chamfers at its edge end in the diametrical direction, turbulence is forcibly evoked in an airflow to promote the turbulent diffusion, thereby suppressing the trailing vortex and reducing the aerodynamic noises, and thus the ventilation efficiency is improved.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Sachiko Kaneko, Yuji Shishido, Toshio Hashimoto, Tooru Kimura

Publication number: 20040258527Abstract: A fan motor having a small thickness and its impeller's blades are formed to have a longer length in the diametral direction than a width in the axial direction. Since the blade of the fan motor has a tooth structure or chamfers at its edge end in the diametral direction, turbulence is forcibly evoked in an airflow to promote the turbulent diffusion, thereby suppressing the trailing vortex and reducing the aerodynamic noises, thus the ventilation efficiency is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2004Publication date: December 23, 2004Inventors: Sachiko Kaneko, Yuji Shishido, Toshio Hashimoto, Tooru Kimura
