  • Patent number: 9018820
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integral or a non-integral stator structure for reducing the manufacturing complexity by eliminating the boot part of the tooth part thereof. The stator structure is made of a core material, and includes: a plurality of stator units, each having a tooth part and an annular part, in which different stator units can be connected with each other integrally or non-integrally, so as to form an annular stator structure. The tooth part of each stator unit is formed in a pillar shape that has a first end and a second end, and the first end is connected to the annular part.

  • Patent number: 8896179
    Abstract: A motor comprising a stator having a plurality of magnetic poles disposed in a circumferential direction along an outer periphery thereof, a rotor disposed rotatably around the outer periphery of the stator, and a magnet disposed in a circumferential direction along an inner periphery of the rotor. The stator is formed by laminating sheet-like plates. A plurality of the sheet-like plates including an outermost layer of this laminated body comprises a flat portion substantially perpendicular to the magnet, and an extended portion bent to a direction substantially parallel to the magnet. A part of the sheet-like plate having the extended portion disposed to the outermost side is formed into a thickness smaller than thicknesses of the other parts.

  • Patent number: 8441164
    Abstract: An outer rotor motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core having a plurality of teeth, coils and insulators retaining the coils. The insulators are connected to each other in an annular configuration such that the teeth are inserted into the insulators. Each of the insulators includes a body portion and an outer peripheral flange. Each of the insulators further includes an auxiliary tooth portion on at least one of two axial ridge portions. The axial ridge portions include bonding portions between the body portion and the outer peripheral flange. The auxiliary tooth portion includes a rotor-facing surface facing the rotor and a tooth-contacting surface contacting one of the side surfaces in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 8334632
    Abstract: A stator includes a stator-core having slots and teeth, and a back-yoke having convex and concave portions. The convex portions are partially inserted into the slots, and the concave portions receive the teeth. The teeth include tip portions whose circumferential widths become larger along a radial direction from the inside to the outside of the stator. The back-yoke includes convex portions whose circumferential widths become larger along the radial direction from the outside to the inside of the stator. The tip portions and the convex portions have substantially the same shape. The length of a joint portion between the tip portion and the convex portion, the circumferential width of the tooth corresponding to a tip surface of the convex portion, the width of a root portion of the tooth, and the circumferential width of the convex portion corresponding to a bottom face of the concave portion are substantially the same.
