Patent number: 11965499Abstract: A motor includes: a central shaft; a stator extending in an axial direction around the central shaft; a rotor facing an outer side in a radial direction of the stator and configured to rotate around the central shaft; a substrate located on one side in the axial direction with respect to the rotor and on which a rotation position detection circuit detecting a rotation position of the rotor is mounted; and a case located on one side in the axial direction with respect to the substrate and supporting the stator. The stator includes a restricting portion restricting a position in a circumferential direction of the substrate. The case includes a fixing portion fixing the substrate. The substrate includes a restricted portion whose position in the circumferential direction is restricted by the restricting portion, and a fixed portion fixed to the fixing portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Tanaka, Takashi Ando, Tomohide Tsutsui, Hisami Oguri

Publication number: 20240007037Abstract: An air compressor includes: a motor configured to drive a compression mechanism for compressing air, and a controller configured to control the motor. The motor is an outer rotor motor including a stator and a rotor disposed on an outer side of the stator. The controller is configured to adjust a voltage applied to a stator winding of the stator, based on position information of the rotor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: MAX CO., LTD.Inventor: Tomohide TSUTSUI

Patent number: 11732704Abstract: An air compressor includes: a motor actuating a mechanism to generate compressed air; a tank part in which the compressed air is stored; a pressure detector detecting a pressure value in the tank part; and a controller driving the motor when the pressure value is equal to or smaller than an ON pressure value and to stop drive of the motor when the pressure value is equal to or greater than an OFF pressure value. The controller executes processing for detecting a continuous drive time or a continuous stop time of the motor and changing at least one of the ON pressure value, the OFF pressure value and an output of the motor, and the controller detects a change amount of the pressure value, and to determine an execution cycle of the processing or a change amount of a value in the processing, based on the detected change amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: MAX CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomohide Tsutsui, Teruaki Ando
