  • Patent number: 11204043
    Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes a water outlet connecting an interior and an exterior of a housing at a position closer to a radially inner side than an impeller such that liquid at a bottom of the housing is able to be discharged quickly, and accumulation of the liquid is avoided, to ensure normal operation of the centrifugal fan.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10508653
    Abstract: A motor includes a stationary portion and a rotary portion. The stationary portion includes an armature, a circuit board below the armature, and a base portion. The base portion includes a bearing holder and a radial gap is defined between the circuit board and a wall portion. The circuit board includes a through-hole passing through the circuit board, and at least one exhaust hole passing through the circuit board in an axial direction. A filler material is on upper and lower sides of the circuit board. The radial gap, a first exhaust hole extending in a radial direction, and a second exhaust hole extending in a circumferential direction from the first exhaust hole communicate with each other through an axial space between a lower surface and an upper surface of the base portion.

  • Publication number: 20180066665
    Abstract: A motor includes a stationary portion, and a rotary portion having a center axis, and rotatably supported with respect to the stationary portion so as to rotate about the center axis. The stationary portion includes an armature, a circuit board arranged below the armature, and a base portion configured to support the armature and the circuit board. The armature includes a core, a coil wound around the core, and a coil end portion extending from the coil, and connected to the circuit board. The base portion includes a bearing holder, a central tower portion configured to support the bearing holder, and a wall portion surrounding the circuit board at a radial outer side such that a radial gap is defined between the circuit board and the wall portion. The circuit board includes a through-hole passing through the circuit board in an axial direction at the center axis, and at least one exhaust hole passing through the circuit board in the axial direction.
