Patent number: 9130441Abstract: A brushless DC motor includes a plurality of permanent magnet segments arranged on an outer circumferential surface of a yoke member. Each of the permanent magnet segments includes a thinnest portion positioned in a circumferential center portion of each of the permanent magnet segments, thickest portions positioned in circumferential opposite end portions of each of the permanent magnet segments, and gradually changing portions positioned between the thinnest portion and the thickest portions. The gradually changing portions have a thickness gradually increasing from the thinnest portion toward the thickest portions. A border between the magnetic poles is positioned in the circumferential center portion of each of the permanent magnet segments.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Nidec Techno Motor Holdings CorporationInventor: Takeshi Okada

Patent number: 8803374Abstract: A molded motor includes a stator, a resin casing, a rotor, a pair of bearings, a pair of bearing retainers, a resin bracket cover, and a control board. The rotor includes a shaft. The bearings are arranged to rotatably support the shaft. The bearing retainers are made of an elastic electrically insulating body. The bearing retainers are arranged to cover the bearings at radial outer sides of the bearings and to hold the bearings in place. The bracket cover is arranged to cover the open side of the casing. One of the bearings is attached to the bracket cover through one of the bearing retainers. The other bearing is attached to a bottom wall portion of the casing through the other bearing retainer.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Nidec Techno Motor Holdings CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Yoshida, Akitoshi Maeno, Junichi Sato, Tatsuya Yoshida

Publication number: 20120139385Abstract: A stator core includes three split cores, each of the split cores including a core-back portion including an inner surface facing a rotor, a tooth base portion protruding radially inwards from the inner surface of the core-back portion and a pair of tooth overhang portions protruding from both sides of a tip end of the tooth base portion in a circumferential direction. The inner surface of the core-back portion including a pair of orthogonal surface regions extending from both sides of a base end of the tooth base portion in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the tooth base portion, the orthogonal surface regions extending radially outwards beyond projection positions of tip ends of the tooth overhang portions when the tooth overhang portions are projected on an imaginary plane including the orthogonal surface regions in parallel or substantially in parallel to the tooth base portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2011Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: NIDEC TECHNO MOTOR HOLDINGS CORPORATIONInventor: Tomoyoshi SAWADA
