Patent number: 11427071Abstract: A motor includes a shaft extending along a center axis, and a first groove that is recessed in a radial direction and extends in an axial direction, on an outer side surface of the shaft. The motor includes a stator core into which the shaft is inserted, and a rotation restrictor that is inserted into at least a portion of the first groove and restricts the stator core and the shaft in a circumferential direction. A carrier vehicle is equipped with the motor further including a lead wire extending from the stator. The shaft includes a shaft portion and a flange portion that overhangs to a radially outer side from one side of the shaft portion in the axial direction. The flange portion includes an opening through which the lead wire passes. The opening includes a notch connected to an outer side surface of the flange portion. The opening of the motor is positioned above the center axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: NIDEC SERVO CORPORATIONInventors: Toshihiro Okabe, Mariko Tanaka, Satoshi Taguchi, Hironobu Yoshikawa
