  • Patent number: 11177703
    Abstract: A rotor assembly for a permanent magnet electric motor defines an axis of rotation and includes a jacket member and a magnet member that is received within the jacket member. The magnet member defines a central aperture. The rotor assembly also includes a shaft structure with a base member and a biasing projection that projects from the base member. The biasing projection is received within the central aperture of the magnet member. The biasing projection biases the magnet member toward the jacket member in an outward radial direction away from the axis of rotation for retaining the magnet member and the jacket member together.

  • Patent number: 10971976
    Abstract: A position detecting purpose permanent magnet 51 constituting a position detection sensor is installed at an opposite side to an output side of a rotational shaft 45 of a rotor housed within a motor housing 11A. A GMR element 56 which constitutes the position detection sensor and a position detection circuit thereof are installed on a side of a motor cover 48 on which a position detection purpose permanent magnet 51 is arranged. GMR element 56 is arranged on a position opposed against the position detection purpose permanent magnet. Thus, since the GMR element and the position detection purpose permanent magnet is installed, a mutually positioning assembly (attachment) accuracy can be improved. In addition, since the electric power conversion circuit and both of the GMR element and its position detection circuit are kept away, such an effect that an accurate detection signal can be obtained can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10069389
    Abstract: At the time of molding, in the stator, the resin material flows inside the vent channels that are formed on the terminal block. At this time, as the resin reservoirs which are formed by expanding cross-sections of the vent channels are provided on the mounting surface of the terminal block, the resin material can be retained in the resin reservoirs. This consequently prevents the resin material from flowing through the vent channels to the outside of the terminal block. When the resin leaked part, which is the resin material that has leaked from the vent channels to the outside and been hardened, falls while using the motor, there is an adverse effect on another piece of equipment. Thus, the resin reservoirs that are formed in the vent channels act effectively in terms of preventing the resin material from flowing to the outside.
