  • Publication number: 20230179040
    Abstract: A brushless motor includes a rotor, the rotor including magnets and a core member. The magnets are arranged around a rotating shaft and sequentially arrayed with N poles or S poles facing each other in a circumferential direction. The core member includes: an annular portion around the rotating shaft; an outer peripheral core part which supports the magnets on an outer peripheral side of the annular portion; and bridges which extend radially between the annular portion and the outer peripheral core part. Each of the bridges is positioned between the magnets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. The bridges include one or more first bridges extending over a first range corresponding to a partial range of the core member along a direction of the rotating shaft.

  • Publication number: 20170288517
    Abstract: A brushless motor including a toothed part with a tooth main body and a tip part. Protruding slant parts are formed on both sides of the tooth tip part. A tip surface is formed on the inner diameter of the tip part to face a magnet. A groove part is recessed in the center of the tip surface and extends in the axial direction. A depth d of the groove part satisfies 0<d?(Lx?Rt)/3. A width Wg of the groove part satisfies Wt>Wg?Wt/2 (Lx: distance between rotor center and a tooth/slant intersection X; X: intersection between an extension line P of a circumferential side surface of the tooth main body and an extension line Q of a slope of the slant part; Rt: radius of the inner diameter of the tooth tip surface; Wt: width of the tooth main body).

  • Patent number: 9764536
    Abstract: A multi-layer paint film satisfies paint film performance, such as water resistance, impact resistance and the like, required of an automobile paint film and which has excellent paint film appearance is obtained. The method comprises coating an aqueous first base paint (A) over an electrodeposited cured paint film to form a first base paint film, and then coating an aqueous second base paint (B) over the first base paint film without carrying out preliminary drying by heating after forming the first base paint film to form a second base paint film, preliminary drying by heating is carried out after forming the second base paint film, coating a single-liquid type clear paint (C) over the second base paint film to form a clear coat paint film. These three paint film layers are heated and cured at the same time.

  • Patent number: 9393592
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for forming a multiple layered coating film in three wet coating method, which the multiple layered coating film has excellent chipping resistance while maintaining smoothness between the coating films. The present invention provides a process for forming a multiple layered coating film comprising the steps of forming an uncured first base coating film; an uncured second base coating film and an uncured clear coating film in order on an automobile body having an electrodeposition coating film on the surface thereof, and then simultaneously heating and curing the uncured coating films to form a multiple layered coating film, wherein the multiple layered coating film comprising the first base coating film having the dry coating film thickness of 25 ?m, the second base coating film having the dry coating film thickness of 10 ?m and the clear coating film having the dry coating film thickness of 30 ?m has an elongation at 20° C.
