  • Patent number: 10505407
    Abstract: A brushless motor comprising: a rotor; a stator core disposed at a radial direction outside of the rotor, and a stator case. The stator core includes an outer ring shaped section, teeth sections projecting out from the outer ring shaped section toward a radial direction inside, and an inner ring shaped section extending from end portions of the teeth sections. Protruding portions are formed at the outer ring shaped section so as to project toward a radial direction outside and so as to be disposed at even intervals around a circumferential direction of the outer ring shaped section. The stator case is integrated together with the stator core by a plurality of plastic deformation portions formed at an outer peripheral portion of the stator case at locations facing towards the protruding portions, and the plastic deformation portions are disposed at even intervals along a circumferential direction of the stator case.

  • Patent number: 9484792
    Abstract: A rotor has a rotor core arranged to radially face a stator. The rotor core has an accommodation hole extending axially from an axial end face of the rotor core. A magnet is received in the accommodation hole. A recess, which is dented in a direction separating from the magnet, is formed in an end surface of the accommodation hole. The recess has an opening facing the magnet. A pair of open distal portions are arranged at opposite sides of the opening and pressed against the magnet.

  • Patent number: 5285145
    Abstract: A current transformer (4) detects the output currents of a voltage-type inverter (INV), and comparators (6) check whether the outputs from the current transformer exceed a predetermined limit value. The detected output currents are fed to a vector analyzer (8) to determine the location of the output current vector. A zone determining circuit (9) determines the location of the current vector in the zones. An output pattern generating circuit (10) responds to the output from the zone determining circuit (9) and provides a switching pattern corresponding to the voltage vector nearest to a vector having the direction opposite to that of the output current vector. A selector (2), being controlled by the comparator (6), selects a switching pattern from the output pattern generating circuit and provides it to the inverter (INV), when the comparator (6) detects that the magnitude of the current vector exceeds the predetermined limit value.
