  • Patent number: 10848018
    Abstract: A stator is provided. In this stator, a stator core comprises: an outer peripheral ring part formed in a ring shape; and multiple salient pole parts protruded from the outer peripheral ring part to an inner side in a radial direction of the stator. The outer peripheral ring part comprises outer peripheral parts in a same number as multiple salient pole parts. When an outer side face of the outer peripheral part in the radial direction is an outer peripheral face, both end side portions in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral face of one of the outer peripheral parts are respectively formed to be a curved face part in a convex curved face shape which is a circular arc shape, curvature radii of the circular arc shapes are equal to each other and their curvature centers are common when viewed in an axial direction of the stator.

  • Patent number: 10291084
    Abstract: A stator including a stator core formed in a ring shape is manufactured as follows; previously preparing an original core body provided with a belt-shaped part in a straight line shape structured of multiple outer peripheral parts and multiple salient pole parts, forming a recessed part on each of outer side faces of first outer peripheral parts disposed on both end sides of the belt-shaped part at a position between the salient pole part connected with the first outer peripheral part and an end part in the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped part; and a bending step in which the original core body is successively pressed and bent from a center of the belt-shaped part toward both end sides.

  • Publication number: 20190063812
    Abstract: An ice making device is provided. In the ice making device, a drive unit includes an ice sensing shaft driven to rotate by a cam surface of a cam gear, a biasing member that biases the ice sensing shaft toward the cam surface, and a second case member. The second case member includes a stopper that comes in contact with the ice sensing shaft from one side of the ice sensing shaft in an axis and limits the ice sensing shaft in the axis direction when the ice sensing shaft is assembled and the biasing member is elastically deformed. When the ice sensing shaft positioned by the stopper is rotated around the axis, a spring engaging part passes through a notch of a side wall and compresses the biasing member.

  • Patent number: 10148143
    Abstract: The motor of the invention includes the resin sealing member which covers a stator and a circuit board. The stator includes a stator core for winding a driving coil through an insulation member, and a terminal pin secured to the insulation member. The insulation member includes a press fitting portion for pressing and securing a portion of the terminal pin on a side of a second direction, whereas a portion of the terminal pin on a side of a first direction is soldered to the circuit board. A stopper portion is formed on a second direction end of the terminal pin. The stopper portion contacts a surface of the press fitting portion in the second direction to prevent the terminal pin from falling off in the first direction.
