  • Publication number: 20030062798
    Abstract: An easy-to-start structure for a D.C. brushless motor comprises a base including a through-hole. Plural windings and an IC control member are mounted to the base. At least one magnetically attractive positioning member is mounted to the base and located between two windings that are adjacent to each other. A rotor comprises a shaft rotatably held by a support section in the through-hole and a permanent ring magnet mounted to the shaft, the permanent ring magnet having north and south poles, each of the south pole and the north pole having a strong magnetic area. The positioning member attracts and thus retains one of the strong magnetic areas of the permanent ring magnet in a position proximal to the positioning member when the rotor stops. Thus, the rotor rests in a pre-determined position not located in a dead corner for restarting.

  • Publication number: 20030062793
    Abstract: A DC brushless motor structure comprises a cylinder-like base having a through-hole or a chamber. The through-hole acts as an axle hole for rotatably receiving a shaft of a rotor. Alternatively, the shaft of the rotor is rotatably received in the chamber. An axle hole is defined in an end of the base. Another axle hole is defined in a lid attached to an end of the base. The shaft of the rotor is rotatably received in the axle holes. At least two sets of windings are mounted to the base. Also mounted to the base is an IC control member electrically connected to the windings. A magnetic force is generated by a magnetic field that is created as a result of energizing the windings to thereby repulse the permanent magnet of the rotor having a north pole and a south pole, thereby driving the rotor to turn.
