  • Publication number: 20240223040
    Abstract: This disclosure includes: a motor part having a rotor rotatable about a central axis and a stator facing the rotor in a radial direction with a gap therebetween; a circuit board arranged on an axial one side of the motor part; a connection terminal arranged between the stator and the circuit board in an axial direction; and a motor housing having a cylindrical shape that extends in the axial direction and accommodating the motor part. The stator includes an annular stator core; a coil having multiple coil bodies attached to the stator core; and an insulator arranged between the stator core and the coil. The connection terminal electrically connects the coil and the circuit board. The motor includes a terminal holder, which holds the connection terminal and is mounted on either the stator or the motor housing and moveable in a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11070111
    Abstract: An inverter substrate has a plurality of heat generating elements mounted thereon and disposed at intervals from each other. A housing has an inverter housing section that accommodates the inverter substrate. The inverter housing section has a first member that faces one plate surface of a pair of plate surfaces of the inverter substrate, a second member that faces the other plate surface of the pair of plate surfaces, and a plurality of heat conductive sheets that are disposed between the first member or the second member and the inverter substrate and are brought into contact with the first member or the second member and the inverter substrate. The heat conductive sheets are thermally connected to the heat generating elements. The heat conductive sheets are individually disposed at positions at which the heat conductive sheets overlap the plurality of heat generating elements in a plan view of the inverter substrate.
