Patent number: 11444500Abstract: A motor with a permanent magnet is provided. A motor has a rotor and an annular drive magnet surrounding the rotor. The drive magnet includes a plurality of magnetized areas having an entire circumference divided into a multiple of at equiangular intervals and includes a plurality of divided areas having an entire circumference divided into the same number as the number of magnetized areas at equiangular intervals. The two adjacent magnetized areas have different polarities. In an inner circumferential surface of each divided area in the drive magnet, a distance D from a rotation center line of the rotor becomes longer from a center in a circumferential direction toward both ends of the area. A magnetization polarization line of the two adjacent magnetized areas deviates from a boundary between the two adjacent divided areas in the circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: NIDEC COPAL CORPORATIONInventor: Hidenobu Itou

Patent number: 11411447Abstract: In an axial gap motor, a rotor is rotatably supported and a stator is placed to face the rotor with a gap in a first direction parallel to a shaft of the rotation. A core of the stator is formed by stacking of thin plates that can be penetrated by magnetic flux in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A plurality of thus formed cores are fixed to a yoke. Here, each of the plurality of cores includes a plurality of fitting portions in positions at a side facing the yoke, and the yoke includes a plurality of attachment portions corresponding to the plurality of fitting portions of the core in positions in which each core is fixed.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Hidenobu Maruyama

Patent number: 11387696Abstract: A tangential motor, a tangential motor rotor and a rotor core thereof are provided. The rotor core includes a rotor body and magnetic steel grooves provided on the rotor body. 2N magnetic isolation holes are provided in a rotor magnetic pole between every two adjacent magnetic steel grooves. The 2N magnetic isolation holes are symmetrically provided at two sides of a magnetic pole center line of the rotor magnetic pole. A width of each of the magnetic isolation holes increases from a circle center of the rotor body to an outer side of the rotor body. Outer side hole surfaces, close to the outer side of the rotor body, of the magnetic isolation holes are arc-shaped surfaces which are concentrically arranged with the rotor body. The rotor core is able to reduce the vibration noise of the motor and increase the efficiency of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Gree Green Refrigeration Technology Center Co., Ltd. of ZhuhaiInventors: Yusheng Hu, Yong Xiao, Jing Wang, Bin Chen, Zeyin Mi, Hui Zhang

Patent number: 11309750Abstract: A driving apparatus according to an embodiment includes an arm, an operation target, and a brake unit. The arm has one end supported by a support mechanism, and includes an electric driving source. The operation target is attached to the other end of the arm, the other end being an end on the opposite side of the one end, and is enabled to be pivoted by the driving source about one rotational axis intersecting with a direction from the one end to the other end. The brake unit secures immobility of a target gear that is a gear disposed in the arm, and that is a gear being rotated as the operation target is pivoted, when the power supply to the driving source stops.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc.Inventors: Makoto Otsuka, Koji Kebukawa
