  • Patent number: 8618711
    Abstract: A three-phase DC motor includes a rotor 30 having poles 30a and a stator 28 having core units 32b arranged around the rotor 30. Three or more coils are wound around the core units 32b. An outer surface of the rotor 30 has alternating poles of N and S around the circumference of the rotor 30. The coils 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d are placed only within a range defined by second virtual planes P2 specified respectively by rotating a first virtual plane P1 according to a predetermined angle in a rotor rotating direction and a direction opposite thereto. The first virtual plane P1 passes through the axial center of the rotor 30. The inner surface of the adjacent 3N (N=1, 2, 3, . . . ) number of core units 32b are delimited within a width of one pole on the outer surface of the rotor 30.

    Abstract: A plurality of protruding portions each having a predetermined width in a circumferential direction are respectively provided at a predetermined interval along an outer periphery of a stator, and through-holes are formed at both ends in the circumferential direction of the protruding portions. A total length of the widths, which the protruding portions respectively have, in the circumferential direction is set equal to or less than 25% of an outer circumference of the stator. With this structure and by virtue of the through-holes, a compressive stress built up in an inner periphery of the stator due to pressing forces imposed on center areas of the protruding portions can be distribute toward the outer periphery of the stator.
