  • Patent number: 11056953
    Abstract: The motor has a stator unit covered with a resin. The stator unit has a stator core, a coil, a circuit board, and an insulator. The insulator has a cylindrical portion and a circumferential-direction positioning portion. Below the stator core, the cylindrical portion surrounds a central axis. The circumferential-direction positioning portion protrudes outwards in a radial direction from an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion. At least a part of the circuit board and the circumferential-direction positioning portion are opposed to each other in a circumferential direction. In addition, a lower end of the circumferential-direction positioning portion is positioned above a lower end of the cylindrical portion.

  • Patent number: 10615675
    Abstract: A stator unit included in a motor includes a base member, an armature, a circuit board, and a mold resin portion. The base member extends substantially perpendicularly to a vertically extending center axis. The armature and the circuit board are positioned above the base member. The circuit board is electrically connected to the armature. The mold resin portion covers the armature and the circuit board. In a process of forming the mold resin portion, the base member is supported by a first mold. Then, the first mold is joined to a second mold such that a cavity is provided therebetween. In this step, the second mold is pressed against a projection provided on an upper surface of the base member and on a radially outer side with respect to the circuit board in plan view. The projection thus pressed is squashed. Subsequently, molten resin is injected into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10340770
    Abstract: This stator unit includes a cylindrical bearing housing arranged to extend along a central axis extending in a vertical direction; a base member arranged to fix the bearing housing; a stator fixed to an outer circumferential surface of the bearing housing; and a mold resin portion arranged to cover the stator. The stator includes a stator core including a plurality of teeth arranged to project radially outward; an insulator arranged to cover a portion of a surface of the stator core; and a plurality of coils each of which is defined by a conducting wire wound around a separate one of the teeth with the insulator therebetween. A sealing agent is arranged between at least two of the outer circumferential surface of the bearing housing, the stator core, and the insulator.

  • Publication number: 20180152073
    Abstract: A stator unit for use in a motor includes a cylindrical bearing housing, a stator core, a resin insulator, a conductive wire, a circuit board, a molded resin portion, and an elastic member. The stator core is fixed to an outer circumferential surface of the bearing housing. The insulator is attached to the stator core. At least one of the bearing housing and the insulator has a ring-shaped groove. The conductive wire is wound around the teeth with the insulator therebetween. The circuit board is electrically coupled to the conductive wire. The molded resin portion covers the stator core, the insulator, the conductive wire, and the circuit board. The elastic member is fitted in the groove and interposed between the bearing housing and the insulator.
