  • Patent number: 7560844
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotary motor is provided in which cogging torque can be reduced and an increase in copper loss can also be prevented. A first divided core unit 13 is combined with a second divided core unit 15, thereby constituting a stator core 9. The first divided core unit 13 constitutes a yoke portion 17. The second divided core unit 15 includes pole pieces 25, magnetic pole surface constituent portions 27, and first and second type connecting portions 29A and 29B each mutually couple two adjacent magnetic pole surface constituent portions 27, all of which are formed integral with one another. The thickness of the first type connecting portions 29A in a radial direction of the stator core 9 is set to be smaller than the thickness of the second type connecting portions 29B in the radial direction of the stator core 9.

  • Patent number: 7358638
    Abstract: An interior permanent magnet rotary motor of the present invention has N slots and P permanent magnet magnetic pole sections, (?<=P/N<= 43/45). Po is an irreducible fraction Po/No of the P/N is an odd number, and a pole arc ratio ?p equals ?pp/?p. ?pp is an angle between two line segments assumed for a pair of flux barriers, each of which connects the center of a rotor core and one of corners of the section of each flux barrier that is closest to the surface of the rotor core. ?p is an angle obtained by dividing 360° by the number of the permanent magnet pole sections. The pole arc ratio indicated by ?p (0<4n<1) is determined by the expression of ?p=2mP/N+P/4LCM (P, N)?2n, where LCM (P, N) is the least common multiple between P and N, m and n are arbitrary natural numbers.

  • Patent number: 7183684
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotary motor that can maintain higher torque density and reduce cogging torque more greatly than a conventional permanent magnet rotary motor. A pair of end surfaces of each of permanent magnets used for a rotor are substantially parallel to a virtual plane that extends in the radial direction of a rotor core while passing through the centers of a stator core and an arc surface. Then, the length of the arc surface in the peripheral direction of a rotor core and inclinations of inclined surfaces are so determined that a pole arc ratio ?1 of the arc surface and a pole arc ratio ?2 of a magnetic pole surface in each permanent magnet satisfy the relation of P/2N??2??1?1.38×P/2N.

  • Patent number: 6489699
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor having a structure so as to prevent the peeling off of adhesive for fixing the bearing. The outer ring of the second ball bearing is fitted into the second ball bearing fitting space of the bearing holder portion of the second end bracket. The annular leaf spring which gives a pressure in the direction toward the first end bracket to the outer ring of the second ball bearing is disposed in the pressure giving structure receiving space which is formed continuously to the second ball bearing fitting space. The annular leaf spring is shaped such that trough and crest portions appear alternately in the circumferential direction. The screw members are inserted into the screw holes formed in the second end bracket. The tip end portions of the screw members are arranged to abut the trough portions of the annular leaf spring.

  • Patent number: 5259784
    Abstract: In a printed circuit board assembly comprising vertical printed circuit boards, perpendicular printed circuit boards, which are perpendicular to the vertical printed circuit boards, are disposed horizontally. A vertical back-board module is used. A vertical front board is arranged parallel in front of the vertical back-board module and has a front surface and a back surface. A connector group attaches the vertical back-board module to the back surface. With vertical attaching and receiving connectors, the vertical printed circuit boards are attached perpendicularly to the vertical front board. Similarly, the perpendicular printed circuit boards are attached perpendicularly to the back board module with perpendicular attaching and receiving connectors.

  • Patent number: 5255160
    Abstract: An electronic device package accommodatable in an electronic device casing. When a high density multipin connector is caused to mate with a connector mounted on the casing, the former is once brought to a stop just before mating with the latter and, therefore, prevented from rapidly mating with the latter. This eliminates the damage to the body of the connector and the deformation of the pins of the connector.
