  • Patent number: 8502431
    Abstract: A coil structure for a coreless motor includes a plurality of first conductive traces and a plurality of second conductive traces. The first conductive traces are disposed in succession relative to one another, and are each arranged into a planar spiral configuration having a substantially polygonal shape. At least one adjacent pair of the first conductive traces cooperate to define a space therebetween. Each of the second conductive traces is disposed in the space defined by a corresponding adjacent pair of the first conductive traces, and is arranged into a planar spiral configuration that has one of a substantially triangular shape and a substantially rhombic shape so as to substantially fill the space.

  • Publication number: 20120074887
    Abstract: A back EMF measuring method for multi-phase BLDC motor is proposed, which includes a driving process and a measuring process. The driving process energizes a plurality of phase windings of a detected motor by driving signals generated by a computing unit to rotate a rotor of the detected motor to a predetermined speed. The measuring process selects one of the phase windings as a target phase winding, continuously sends the driving signals to the phase windings other than the target phase winding but stops the driving signal sent to the target phase winding by the computing unit, and measures the back EMF of the target phase winding by a signal sensing unit.

  • Publication number: 20100143164
    Abstract: A fan motor structure is provided. A fan is disposed within an accommodating hole at a center of a body. A permanent magnet and a printed circuit board (PCB) provided with plural coils are respectively disposed between an upper ring and a base of the body. An axial air gap is formed between the coils and the permanent magnet. A bearing is disposed between the upper ring and the base. The fan blades of the fan extend from the periphery of the accommodating hole toward the center of the fan. An axle center of the fan overlaps with that of the body. The coils after being supplied with a current create a flux linkage with the permanent magnet. Due to the flux linkage and the axial air gap between the coils and the permanent magnet, the upper ring is forced to rotate, thus driving the fan to rotate.
