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.

Abstract: An electric machine with a casing includes a circuit board arranged inside the casing and on which an electronic component is mounted, and a sealing member covering the circuit board. The sealing member includes, at a part of a boundary surface thereof coming into contact with air, a first inclined surface inclined downwardly in a vertical direction. The casing includes a front wall covering a side of the sealing member on a downward side of the first inclined surface, a rear wall covering a side of the sealing member on an upward side of the first inclined surface, and a pair of side walls covering sides of the sealing member in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the first inclined surface is inclined. The front wall has a groove concaved from an upper side to a lower side, and the first inclined surface is inclined toward the groove.

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.
