20080211332 | MOTOR - A motor having a busbar unit which is accommodated in a housing along with an armature includes a relay wherein the connection between the armature and the relay is secured. By virtue of such a configuration, reliability of the connection between the armature and the relay is improved. In the busbar unit, a plurality of first busbars and a plurality of second busbars each having a substantially arcuate shape are arranged so as to be circumferentially spaced apart from one another. The first busbars do not overlap with the second busbars in the axial and radial directions thereby reducing the dimensions of the motor in the axial and radial directions. | 09-04-2008 |
20080211356 | MOTOR - A motor includes a housing having a substantially cylindrical shape accommodating therein a stator portion and a rotor portion. The housing includes a housing body having an opening at an upper side thereof, and a lid portion arranged between an armature and a sensor so as to close the opening of the housing body. Since the lid portion is made of a magnetic material and is arranged between the armature and the sensor, a magnetic effect on the sensor caused by a magnetic force generated at the armature is minimized. By virtue of such configuration in which the lid portion of the housing functions as a magnetic shield, the motor can be smaller in the axial direction compared with a configuration in which an extra layer of magnetic shield is arranged. | 09-04-2008 |
20080211357 | MOTOR - A motor includes a sensor which magnetically detects an angular position centered about a central axis of a rotor core with respect to an armature. The sensor preferably includes a yoke which has a substantially annular shape, is made of a magnetic material, is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the central axis and is affixed to a shaft, a sensor magnet affixed at the yoke, a magnet cover which covers a surface of the sensor magnet other than a portion in contact with the yoke, a first Hall element and a second Hall element both of which are arranged facing in an axial direction a surface of the sensor magnet opposite from a surface thereof at which the yoke is arranged. Since the sensor magnet is covered by the yoke and the magnet cover, even when the sensor magnet is damaged, the damaged sensor magnet is prevented from damaging other components of the motor. By virtue of such configuration, the reliability of the motor is improved. | 09-04-2008 |
20080242124 | BUSBAR UNIT - A busbar unit includes a busbar holder and a plurality of busbars. The busbar holder has a first surface and a second surface on both sides in an axial direction, respectively. The first surface is provided with grooves in which one or more busbars are accommodated. The busbar in the groove of the first surface is provided with a wire connector portion on the first surface. The second surface is also provided with grooves accommodating remaining busbar (s) therein. The busbar (s) in the groove of the second surface is provided with a wire connector portion on the second surface. To each wire connector portion, a conductive wire forming a coil winding of an armature of a motor is connected. | 10-02-2008 |
20080258585 | RESOLVER - A resolver rotor for a variable reluctance resolver includes a plurality of axially stacked rotor pieces. The rotor pieces are jointly fitted into one body. In the fitting of the rotor pieces, deformed portions are provided between a center of the radial thickness of the resolver rotor and a side surface thereof which is opposite to a stator-side surface thereof. The number of deformed portions is the same as that of projecting poles of the resolver rotor. The deformed portions are arranged at circumferential positions of peaks of the respective projecting poles. At those positions, concave portions are provided on the side surface to receive deformations caused by fitting the rotor pieces together. Thus, the stator-side surface of the resolver rotor is less affected by fitting of the rotor pieces together, preventing a reduction in the detection accuracy of the resolver. | 10-23-2008 |
20100201213 | MOTOR - A motor includes a plurality of bus wires of a common phase which are put together before being guided in a common passage to minimize the space arranged to guide the bus wires. Also, the bus wires of a common phase are easily insulated from those of different phases, and an axial height of the motor is reduced. Further, a radial width necessary to guide the bus wires is reduced, and an axial height of the motor including a sensor portion which detects a rotary position of the motor is reduced. Also, the bus wires are easily extended from the armature, and an amount of work required to connect the bus wires and the terminals is reduced. Furthermore, the connection terminal portion does not interfere with the bus wires when they are being guided. | 08-12-2010 |
20100212143 | RESOLVER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - In a resolver of a motor, a plurality of wires forming a plurality of coils arranged at a resolver stator portion are arranged at a wiring surface which is arranged at a terminal block of a connector portion and extends between an annular shape surface arranged substantially perpendicularly to a central axis at a core back of an insulator and a plurality of terminal pins, and are connected to a control unit via the terminal pins. Each of the wires of the resolver includes a slackened portion formed at a portion thereof between corresponding terminal pins and corresponding coils. The slackened portion is accommodated in a groove portion arranged at the wiring surface of the connector portion in order to minimize the possibility of damaging the wire improving reliability of the connection between the terminal pin and the coil. | 08-26-2010 |
20110018376 | BUSBAR TERMINAL, BUSBAR UNIT, AND MOTOR - A technique and structure for establishing a sufficient electrical connection between an armature and a power supply of a motor even for use in severe working environments through at least one busbar is such that each of the at least one busbar is connected a conductor wire arranged to supply a drive current to the armature of the motor. The structure includes a terminal plate having a through hole defined therein to allow the conductor wire to pass therethrough, and a terminal wall arranged to rise above the terminal plate from a periphery of the through hole. | 01-27-2011 |
20110018384 | MOTOR - In a motor, a raised portion arranged to project toward a rotor magnet is provided on an opposed surface of each tooth portion. This raised portion provided on an opposed surface of each tooth portion. This raised portion is provided at a substantial middle of the opposed surface in a circumferential direction. This allows a waveform of a cogging torque generated by the raised portions and a fundamental of a waveform of a cogging torque generated by slot openings to be substantially in opposite phases. Cogging torque generated by the slot openings can be thereby reduced, because of the cogging torque generated by the raised portion. | 01-27-2011 |
