Publication number: 20130221779Abstract: Disclosed is a motor in which a commutator (10) is provided with connecting wires which short-circuit equipotential segments; brushes (21) are constituted by a low-speed brush (21a), a high-speed brush (21b), and a common brush (21c) used in common by the low-speed and high-speed brushes, and are juxtaposed along the circumferential direction. The circumferential brush width (W2) of the high-speed brush is set to be smaller than the circumferential brush width (W1) of the low-speed brush. The high-speed brush and the low-speed brush are formed so that simultaneous sliding contact with equipotential segments (15) can be avoided. Additionally, armature cores (8) are provided such that a plurality of teeth (12) is point-symmetrical about a rotary shaft (3) at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the teeth and slots (13) are formed so as to exist alternately at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2013Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: MITSUBA CORPORATIONInventors: Tatsuyuki SAITO, Ryuichi TAKAKUSAGI, Toshiyuki KIMURA, Yoshichika KAWASHIMA, Kenji SAKATA

Publication number: 20070108968Abstract: Yoke plates (3a, 3b) of magnetic material adapted for rotation in synchronism with a rotary shaft (2) are installed. An axially magnetized magnet (5) is disposed through the yoke plates (3a, 3b) and an air gap (G1). The outer diameter (R1) of the yoke plates (3a, 3b) is larger than the outer diameter (R2) of the magnet (5). The magnet (5) is fixed to a fixing plate (6) of magnetic material. Hall ICs (9a, 9b) are attached to the front ends of the pole pieces (8a, 8b) of the fixing plate (6). The Hall ICs (9a, 9b) are disposed in a magnetic circuit (M) formed by the magnet (5). When the rotary shaft (2) rotates, the opposed areas (S1, S2) between the magnet (5) and the yoke plates (3a, 3b) vary, so that the density of magnetic flux passing through the Hall ICs (9a, 9b) in the magnetic circuit (M) linearly varies in proportion to the rotation angle. The Hall ICs (9a, 9b) catch this variation and detect the rotation angle of the rotary shaft (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2004Publication date: May 17, 2007Applicant: MITSUBA CORPORATIONInventors: Masahiro Ootawara, Mikio Kawamura, Satoru Negishi, Ryuichi Takakusagi

Publication number: 20060202575Abstract: A hub dynamo is compacted into a small diameter size while ensuring the generation of a high voltage of electric power. A coil chamber formed between a pair of main iron 10 cores, is partitioned in the axial direction by at least one sub iron 11 core to form a plurality of coil chambers. On the coil chambers a coil wire is wound such that the winding direction changes alternately between adjacent coil chambers. Magnetic flux collectors are connected to the outer circumference of the main/sub iron cores and include a plurality of first magnetic flux 15 collectors connected with the odd numbered iron cores and a (counting from either end) and a plurality of second magnetic flux collectors connected with the even numbered iron cores cores.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2004Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Kenji Itoi, Hideyuki Minami, Takeshi Yoda, Ryuichi Takakusagi
