  • Patent number: 11489391
    Abstract: A stator for use in a motor includes a stator core, an insulator, a coil, and a terminal pin. The stator core includes a core back having an annular shape and teeth. The insulator covers at least a portion of the stator core. The coil is defined by a conductive wire wound around the teeth via the insulator. The terminal pin extends axially upward from an upper surface of the insulator and is connected to an end portion of the conductive wire. The insulator includes an annular portion, first protruding portions, and second protruding portions. The annular portion covers at least a portion of the core back and is centered on the central axis. The plurality of first protruding portions cover at least a portion of each of the teeth and protrude radially outward from the annular portion.

  • Patent number: 11336143
    Abstract: A stator assembly for use in a motor includes an annular stator and a circuit board. The stator having an annular shape is centered on a central axis extending vertically. The circuit board is above the stator in an axial direction. The stator includes a stator core, an insulator, a conductive wire, and a terminal pin. The stator core includes teeth. The insulator covers at least a portion of the stator core. The conductive wire is wound around the teeth via the insulator to define a coil. The terminal pin extends axially upward from an upper surface of the insulator and is connected to an end portion of the conductive wire. The circuit board includes a solder portion on an upper surface. The solder portion enables electrical connection with the terminal pin and is covered with a coating layer.

  • Patent number: 11005328
    Abstract: A motor includes a bearing housing, a stator, and a fixing member. The stator includes a stator core, an insulator, and a lead. The insulator is an insulating body that covers at least a portion of the stator core. The lead is wound around the stator core with the insulator interposed therebetween. The bearing housing includes a first bearing holding portion and a second bearing holding portion that hold two bearings; and an intermediate portion that is positioned between the first bearing holding portion and the second bearing holding portion in the vertical direction. The lower surface of the fixing member is in contact with the upper surface of the stator. The fixing member is fixed at a position opposite the intermediate portion in the radial direction. As a result, the displacement of the stator relative to the bearing housing is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10541571
    Abstract: A motor includes a bearing housing and a stator. The stator includes a stator core, an insulator, and a conductor. The insulator is an insulating body covering at least a part of the stator core. The conductor is wound around the stator core via the insulator. The bearing housing includes a first inner peripheral surface and a first outer peripheral surface. The first inner peripheral surface holds a bearing. The first outer peripheral surface is in contact with the insulator directly or via an adhesive. A surface roughness of the first outer peripheral surface is greater than a surface roughness of the first inner peripheral surface. Therefore, a friction coefficient between the first outer peripheral surface and the insulator increases. Therefore, it is possible to suppress position deviation of the stator with respect to the bearing housing.

  • Patent number: 10523083
    Abstract: A motor includes a bearing housing and a stator. The stator includes a stator core, an insulator, and a conductor. The insulator is an insulating body covering at least a part of the stator core. The conductor is wound around the stator core via the insulator. The bearing housing and the stator are connected to each other by a main adhesive and an auxiliary adhesive. A curing time of the auxiliary adhesive is shorter than that of the main adhesive. Therefore, the bearing housing and the stator can be temporarily fixed by the auxiliary adhesive of which the curing time is short until the main adhesive is cured. Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the position of the stator is deviated with respect to the bearing housing until the main adhesive is cured.
