Patent number: 8482180Abstract: An inner rotor type brushless motor includes a stator. The stator is made of a plurality of stator sections. Each one of the stator sections has a plurality of core members, an insulator, and a winding wound on the core members via the insulator. The core member includes a yoke portion and a tooth portion. The insulator includes a ring portion to connect the core members. Since each stator section can provide sufficient distance and space between two core members on the same stator section, it is easy to wind the winding on the tooth portions. The stator sections can be assembled along an axial direction to form the stator. The yoke portions are circumferentially arranged to connect each other to form a magnetic path.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: ASMO Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akihiko Seki, Tetsuji Yoshikawa, Masato Kamimura

Publication number: 20130162098Abstract: A motor part of a fuel pump is a brushless motor having a stator and a rotor. The stator has a core, a coil set and an insulator, which holds the core and the coil set in an insulated manner. The coil set has a plurality of coils wound about a tooth part and a plurality of crossing wires connecting the coils. The insulator is formed by stacking central ring parts of a plurality of stator units in an axial direction. At least one of crossing wire holder parts is formed of a combination of guide projections, which are formed on the different central ring parts. The length of the brushless motor in the axial direction can thus be shortened.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2012Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: DENSO CORPORATION
