  • Patent number: 8946948
    Abstract: A motor includes a cover made of a resin material. The cover includes a first annular portion arranged to extend in an annular shape above coils, a side wall portion arranged to extend downward from an outer circumferential portion of the first annular portion, and a second annular portion arranged to extend radially outward or radially inward from a lower end portion of the side wall portion along an upper surface of a circuit board. The side wall portion is arranged to extend in an axial direction while filling in gaps between teeth on a radially inner side of radially outer end surfaces of the teeth. The coils are covered by the cover to be protected from dust, water droplets, etc. The radially outer end surfaces of the teeth are exposed from the cover, and are thus arranged to be in radial proximity to a rotor magnet.

  • Patent number: 8736122
    Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine, such as a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) induction motor has a double-wall bearing housing heat shield that envelops and thermally isolates the bearing housing from the rest of the motor housing interior. The shield defines an air channel between the shield outer and inner walls. Optionally the air channel may be constructed to enable circulating air flow through a shield intake in communication with an air flow source, such as air ducted from the TEFC motor axial cooling fan. The air channel also defines an exhaust. Air flow within the air channel transfers heat out of the motor housing, lowering bearing housing operating temperature. Air flow rate may be varied in response to motor operational parameters.
