Description

MOTOR, STATORTECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a motor and a stator used in the motor.CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGY

[0002] A known motor structure includes a stator in which a coil is wound around each of a plurality of teeth of an annular stator core, a rotor that supports a permanent magnet on the outer periphery of the stator and is rotatable via a bearing and a rotating shaft, and a plate through which the rotating shaft passes and that is fixed to the stator so as to be rotatable. The coil is connected to a controller mounted on a printed circuit board supported by the plate, and the excitation current is switched.

[0003] Incidentally, in a motor, coils of the same phase are formed by winding a single continuous electric wire around a plurality of teeth, or by connecting electric wires to a plurality of teeth using a bus bar or by fusing (thermal crimping). The end parts of the electric wire constituting each phase are connected to a circuit board or a harness that is connected to the circuit board. Specifically, in a motor having 12 teeth, when winding a single continuous wire around teeth of the same phase to connect 4 series 1 parallel, three wires are used, and the end parts of the electric wires are connected to six points on the circuit board. In addition, in a similar motor, when a single continuous wire is wound around teeth of the same phase to connect 2 series 2 parallel, six wires are used, and the end parts of the electric wires are connected to 12 points on the circuit board (see Patent Document 1 ).RELATED ART DOCUMENTS

[0004] Patent Document 1 : Japanese Unexamined Patent Application 2008- 193889SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION]

[0005] However, when a single continuous wire is wound around teeth of the same phase and connected in a 4 series 1 parallel configuration, the induced voltage can be increased as compared to a 2 series 2 parallel configuration. However, taking into account the efficiency of the motor (resistance value of the wire), the wire diameter needs to be thicker so providing the electric wire inside the motor becomes difficult.

[0006] On the other hand, when a single continuous wire is wound around teeth of the same phase to connect in 2 series 2 parallel, the resistance between phases is one-fourth of the case when connecting in 4 series 1 parallel, so a thinner wire diameter can be used. However, the number of wires used, and the number of electric wire end parts connected to the circuit board is increased to 12, which creates a problem of increasing production steps.

[0007] Here, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of electric wires is one or three, and the electric wires of the same phase are connected to one bus bar or terminal as described above, and then connected to a circuit board or harness. However, even with this configuration, there is a problem in that costs increase due to the increase in equipment and processes required to connect the plurality of electric wires to the bus bar or terminals.

[0008] Using the above object as an example, an object of the present invention is to provide technology for facilitating arrangement of electric wires and improving productivity by reducing the number of end parts that connect the electric wires used for the coil of the motor to an electronic board or a harness.MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM

The number of electric wires 25 corresponds to the number of phases of the motor 1 , that is, three electric wires are provided corresponding to the three phases of the motor 1 , namely, the iphase, the V-phase, and the W-phase. The electric wires 25 are wound around each of the plurality of teeth 24 via the insulators 23.

[0039] FIG. 3 is a electrical connection wiring diagram of the stator 2 provided in the motor 1 .

Theend part 251 extends from the connecting part 26 in the radially outward direction of the stator 2 and also extends to one side in the axial direction, in other words, in a direction away from the stator 2 in the axial direction, within the vicinity of the teeth 24, for example, within the range of the region where the coil 22 is wound on the teeth 24. The end parts 251 are connected to the circuit board or a harness that connects to the circuit board.

[0041] FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the connecting part 26 of the stator 2. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the connecting part 26. FIG. 6 is a diagram depicting a condition where the pressure contact part 262 is removed from the connecting part 26.

[0042] As depicted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the connecting part 26 is provided on a flat part 231 of the insulator 23 on one surface in the axial direction of the stator 2, for example, the surface facing the base plate 8 (lower side in FIG. 1 ).

The connecting part 26 is configured of a pressure contact part receiving part 261 and a pressure contact part 262.

[0043] The pressure contact part receiving parts 261 are formed on the flat part 231 in a number corresponding to the number of phases of the motor 1 , or in other words, three. The pressure contact part receiving part 261 has a void that is open upward in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 (downward in FIG. 1 ), and is capable of receiving the pressure contact part 262.

[0045] The pressure contact part 262 is made of a conductive material such as a metal or the like. The pressure contact part 262 has an electric wire contact part 265. The pressure contact part 262 has a shape such that the periphery of the electric wire contact part 265 can be stored in the storage part 264. The electric wire contact part 265 has a width dimension slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the electric wire 25 including the coating 254 so that at least a portion of the coating 254 of each of the plurality of electric wires 25 can be stripped as depicted in FIG. 5 when the electric wires 25 are stored in the pressure contact part receiving part 261 as depicted in FIG. 6, and then the pressure contact part 262 is stored in the storage part 264 as depicted in FIG. 4. The electric wire contact part 265 strips the coating 254 to electrically connect the plurality of electric wires 25 to the pressure contact part 262.

[0046] The rotor 6 is fixed to the rotating shaft 3 and supports a permanent magnet 61 as a field magnet on the outer periphery of the stator 2. The rotor 6 contains a circular or approximately circular cylindrical part 62 that covers the outer periphery side of the stator 2 and supports a permanent magnet 61 on the inner periphery, a disk-shaped or approximately disk-shaped top surface part 63 that covers the upper side of the stator 2, and a shaft mounting hole 64 provided at the center of the top surface part 63. The rotor 6 is fixed to the rotating shaft3. Specifically, a first end part 31 of the upper end in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3 is mounted in the shaft mounting hole 64 of the rotor 6.

[0047] The rotating shaft 3 is provided in a bearing retaining hole 20 of the stator core 21 . The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 are provided side by side in the axial direction in the bearing retaining hole 20. The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 rotatably support the rotating shaft 3 relative to the stator core 21 .

[0048] The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 are a pair of bearings arranged side by side in the axial direction in the bearing retaining hole 20. The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 rotatably support the rotating shaft 3 relative to the stator core 21. The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 are press-fit into the inner circumferential surface of the bearing retaining hole 20 of the stator core 21. The first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5 are provided in the bearing retaining hole 20 separated from each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3.

[0049] The first bearing 4 is one of a pair of bearings included in the motor 1 and is provided on the upper side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3. The first bearing 4 is a ball bearing including an inner ring 41 , an outer ring 42, and rolling bodies 43 provided between the inner ring 41 and the outer ring 42.

[0050] The second bearing 5 is one of a pair of bearings included in the motor 1 and is provided on the lower side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3. The second bearing 5 is a ball bearing including an inner ring 51 , an outer ring 52, and rolling bodies 53 provided between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52.

[0051] Next, operation of the motor 1 having the aforementioned configuration will be described.

[0052] In the stator 2 of the motor 1 described above, the plurality of electric wires 25 constituting the coil 22 have an end part 251 connected to the circuit board formed on the base plate 8 or a harness connected to the circuit board, and a coil part 252 wound around the plurality of teeth 24. The stator 2 of themotor 1 includes a connecting part 26 that electrically connects the plurality of electric wires 25 together in the range of the jumper wire 253 between the end part 251 and the coil part 252.

[0053] In the motor 1 configured as described above, the wire diameter of the electric wire 25 can be made thinner than a case where a single continuous wire is wound around teeth of the same phase and connected in a 4 series 1 parallel configuration, while the electric wires 25 of the same phase are electrically connected by the connecting part 26, enabling efficiently bundling of the electric wires connected to the circuit board or harness.

[0054] In the motor 1 , when the connecting part 26 is a pressure contact part 262 that removes the coating 254 of each of the plurality of electric wires 25 so as to electrically connect the electric wires, the plurality of electric wires 25 are stored in the pressure contact part receiving part 261 as depicted in FIG. 6, and then the pressure contact part 262 is then stored in the pressure contact part receiving part 261 as depicted in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, thereby fixing the plurality of electric wires 25 to the stator 2 and removing at least a portion of the coating 254 on the plurality of electric wires 25 so as to electrically connect the electric wires.

[0055] With the motor 1 described above, the electric wires 25 can be fixed and electrically connected to the stator 2 using a simple configuration compared to a case where a plurality of electric wires 25 are connected to a bus bar or terminals, such that equipment and processes are reduced, and thereby costs can be reduced.

[0056] Therefore, with the motor 1 described above, the arrangement of the electric wires 25 used in the coil 22 can be simplified, thereby improving productivity.

[0057] In addition, a person of ordinary skill in the art can appropriately modify the present invention in accordance with conventional knowledge. Thesemodifications are of course included in the scope of the present invention so long as the structure of the present invention is included.

[0059] In the stator 2 of the motor 1 described above, the connecting part 26 has been described as an example in which the plurality of electric wires 25 are electrically connected to one another by the pressure contact part 262, but the present invention is not limited to this case. As depicted in FIG. 7, for example, the connecting part 26B may be formed by fusing (thermal crimping) the plurality of electric wires 25 together with a fusing member 267, thereby removing the coating 254 and electrically connecting the electric wires together.

[0060] The motor 1 described above is an outer rotor type motor, and an example has been described in which the motor is a three-phase brushless direct current (DC) motor with a 2 series 2 parallel delta-delta connection, but the present invention is not limited to this case. For example, the present invention is also applicable to an inner rotor type motor. Furthermore, the plurality of electric wires 25 constituting the coil 22 is not limited to a 2 series 2 parallel system. Furthermore, the coil 22 may be connected in a delta-star connection. Furthermore, the motor of the present invention is not limited to a three-phase motor, but may be applicable to a motor using N electric wires that constitute coils in N phases (where N is a natural number of 2 or more). Furthermore, the motor in the present invention may be an AC motor.
