  • Patent number: 10651697
    Abstract: A magnet for an IPM rotor is inserted into a rotor core in an inserting direction along an axial direction thereof and buried in the rotor core in a circumferential direction thereof. The magnet for an IPM rotor is formed such that a shape thereof is a parallelogram having opposing sides when seen in a plan view from the inserting direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9379589
    Abstract: A stator includes: a plurality of stator pieces around which coils are wound; a stator holder which supports the plurality of stator pieces by arranging the plurality of stator pieces in a peripheral wall portion in an annular shape; and a housing which is disposed on an outer side of the stator holder to support the stator holder, wherein the stator holder includes a flange portion which continuously protrudes outward in a radial direction thereof from an edge of one end side in an axial line direction thereof and is fixed to the housing, and a reinforcing portion which suppresses vibration in the radial direction of the stator holder on an outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion.

  • Patent number: 7719148
    Abstract: In a motor stator structure, a neutral-point bus ring is arranged along an inner peripheral portion of a stator, and alternately includes a larger-diameter portion, a first link portion, a smaller-diameter portion, and a second link portion. An end of a wound wire pulled out of a coil is located between radially-extending adjacent first and second link portions. A connecting terminal is connected at one end to the end of the wound wire, and at the other end to the first and second link portions. The use of the neutral-point bus ring ensures that a neutral point can be formed without bending the end of the wound wire of the coil into a U-shape. Particularly when a rectangular cross-section wire difficult to bend is used as the wound wire, the processing cost can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20100043839
    Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate processing apparatus having a drying mechanism for removing water from a surface of a substrate which has been cleaned by a wet cleaning process, and a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method which are capable of efficiently removing an unnecessary thin film deposited on or adhering to a bevel or edge portion of a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus of this invention has a substrate holder for holding a substrate, and a dry gas supply section for turning an atmosphere, to which at least a portion of a surface of the substrate held by the substrate holder is exposed, into a humidity-controlled dry gas atmosphere.

  • Publication number: 20090081810
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus has a fluid supply means 20 for supplying fluid to a substrate W and a fluid collection means 21 for collecting the fluid in the vicinity of the substrate W, the fluid supply means 20 having a fluid spurt section 20a, the fluid collection means 21 having a fluid suction section 21a opening in the vicinity of the fluid spurt section 20a. Since the fluid collection means 21 suctions and collects the fluid floating around the substrate W as a result of the liquid having been supplied from the fluid spurt section 20a to the substrate W, it is possible to prevent the substrate W from being contaminated after the substrate W being processed with the fluid supplied from the fluid supply means 20.
