  • Publication number: 20230198342
    Abstract: An electric work machine includes a resin-molded portion that is designed appropriately. An electric work machine includes a brushless motor, a sensor board, a resin-molded portion, and an output unit. The brushless motor includes a stator and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator. The sensor board faces the rotor and the stator in an axial direction along a rotation axis of the rotor and includes a sensor on an opposing surface of the sensor board opposing the rotor and the stator. The sensor detects a position of the rotor in a rotation direction. The resin-molded portion covers the opposing surface of the sensor board and has a recess at a position corresponding to the stator. The output unit is directly or indirectly drivable by the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20220416608
    Abstract: An electric work machine includes coils formed reliably. The machine includes a stator, a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis, and an output unit drivable by the rotor. The stator includes a stator core including a cylindrical yoke and teeth protruding radially outward from the yoke, an insulator fixed to the stator core, and coils each wound around a corresponding one of the teeth with the insulator in between. The insulator includes a first cover covering a first end face of the yoke in a first axial direction and a rib on the first cover and supporting a wire connecting the coils. The rotor includes a rotor core outside a periphery of the stator and a magnet fixed to the rotor core.

  • Publication number: 20220416625
    Abstract: An electric work machine can appropriately detect rotation of a rotor. The electric work machine includes a stator including a stator core, an insulator fixed to the stator core, and a coil attached to the insulator, a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis and including a rotor core and a magnet fixed to the rotor core, a stator base supporting the stator, a sensor board supported by the stator base and including a magnetic sensor that detects the magnet, and an output unit drivable by the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20220393544
    Abstract: A brushless motor is at least partially located in a hermetically sealed space. An electric work machine includes a brushless motor, an output unit, a motor case, a lead wire, and a first seal. The brushless motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatable with respect to the stator, and a rotor shaft fixed to the rotor. The output unit is drivable by the rotor shaft. The motor case includes an internal space and a wiring passage. The internal space accommodates the stator and the rotor. The lead wire is located in the wiring passage connecting the internal space and an external space of the motor case. The first seal seals between the lead wire and the motor case.

  • Patent number: 11456637
    Abstract: A motor includes a stationary unit including a stator and a rotation unit including a magnet unit disposed radially outward of the stator and a cylindrical rotor holder. The magnet unit is held on a radially inside surface of the rotor holder. The magnet unit includes first magnets each of which has N and S poles magnetized in a radial direction, and second magnets each of which has N and S poles magnetized in a circumferential direction. Magnetic poles of radially inner end portions of the first magnets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction via the second magnet are different from each other. Magnetic poles of circumferential end portions of the second magnets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction via the first magnet are different from each other.
