  • Patent number: 11757315
    Abstract: A rotor applied to an inner rotor brushless motor includes: a rotor core having a laminate of a plurality of annular thin plate-shaped core pieces, the rotor core being configured to rotate together with a shaft in an integrated manner; a cylindrical resin magnet mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core via a gap; a groove-shaped adhesive admission portion in a straight line along the entire length of the rotor core in an axial direction thereof, the adhesive admission portion being recessed into the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core; and an adhesive configured to bond and fix the rotor core and the magnet. The adhesive is filled in an entire adhesive allowance having both of the gap and the adhesive admission portion between the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core and an inner peripheral surface of the magnet.

  • Publication number: 20230275487
    Abstract: A brushless motor where a stator and a rotor are housed in a housing, includes: three busbars located on one end side of the stator in an axial direction, the three busbars connecting three-phase coils provided to the stator on a per-phase basis; three output terminals on the one end side of the busbars, the three output terminals extending in the axial direction while being electrically continuous with the busbars; and a compatible component having: a holder portion placed on the one end side of the busbars in the housing and supported by the housing; and terminals each electrically connected to the respective output terminal and exposed to an outside of the housing. A plurality of types of the compatible components that have the common holder portion and are different in the configuration of the terminals is prepared, and one of the plurality of types is supported by the housing.

  • Patent number: 11715991
    Abstract: To provide a brushless motor with a simple configuration, which has accomplished size reduction. An inner rotor brushless motor having a rotor in a center of a cylindrical stator includes: three bus bars on one end side of the stator in an axial direction thereof, the bus bars connecting three phase coils provided to the stator on a phase-by-phase basis; a bottomed tubular connector portion adjacent to a housing that houses the stator and the rotor; a plurality of connector terminals fixed, penetrating a bottom portion of the connector portion, the plurality of connector terminals being exposed to an internal space of the connector portion; and a board stretching from the one end side of the stator in the axial direction to the bottom portion side of the connector portion, the board being configured to electrically connect an end of each of the bus bars and the penetrating connector terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220069650
    Abstract: Even in a case of a rotor having a thick laminate, avoidance of nonuniform adhesive application and an increase in quality is achieved with a simple configuration. A rotor applied to an inner rotor brushless motor includes: a rotor core having a laminate of a plurality of annular thin plate-shaped core pieces, the rotor core being configured to rotate together with a shaft in an integrated manner; a cylindrical resin magnet mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core via a gap; a groove-shaped adhesive admission portion in a straight line along the entire length of the rotor core in an axial direction thereof, the adhesive admission portion being recessed into the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core; and an adhesive configured to bond and fix the rotor core and the magnet. The adhesive is filled in an entire adhesive allowance having both of the gap and the adhesive admission portion between the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core and an inner peripheral surface of the magnet.
