Abstract
Description
<電動機1の構成>
図1は、実施の形態1における電動機1を示す部分断面図である。電動機1は、例えば空気調和装置の送風機に用いられるブラシレスDCモータである。
図2は、回転子2を示す断面図である。図2に示すように、回転子2は、回転シャフト11と、回転シャフト11に対して固定された回転子コア20と、回転子コア20に埋め込まれた複数のマグネット23と、回転シャフト11と回転子コア20との間に設けられた樹脂部25とを有する。マグネット23の数は、ここでは5である。マグネット23は、メインマグネットとも称する。
モールド固定子4は、上記の通り、固定子5とモールド樹脂部40とを有する。固定子5は、回転子2を径方向外側から囲んでいる。固定子5は、固定子コア50と、固定子コア50に設けられた絶縁部52と、絶縁部52を介して固定子コア50に巻き付けられたコイル53とを有する。
次に、軸受保持部材3について説明する。図5は、電動機1の一部を拡大して示す図である。図5に示すように、軸受13は、転がり軸受であり、外輪13aと、内輪13bと、転動体13cとを有する。軸受13の内輪13bは、締り嵌めにより、回転シャフト11に取り付けられている。軸受13の外輪13aは、隙間嵌めにより、軸受保持部材3に取り付けられている。
次に、電動機1の製造方法について説明する。図8は、電動機1の製造工程で用いる金型100を示す断面図である。金型100は、開閉可能な上金型101と下金型102とを備え、両者の間にキャビティ104が形成される。上金型101には、軸受保持部材3を収容する放熱部材収容部103が形成されている。
図5に示したように、軸受13は軸受保持部材3によって保持され、この軸受保持部材3と固定子5とはモールド樹脂部40によって一体的に保持されている。そのため、上述したアルミニウム合金等により軸受保持部材3を高い寸法精度で形成することにより、固定子5と回転子2との同軸度を向上することができる。その結果、電動機1の振動および騒音を低減することができる。
以上説明したように、実施の形態1の電動機1は、回転子2と、固定子5と、回転子2の軸受13を保持する軸受保持部材3と、軸受保持部材3と固定子5とを覆う樹脂部としてのモールド樹脂部40とを備える。そのため、固定子5と回転子2との同軸度を向上することができ、これにより電動機1の振動および騒音を低減することができる。
図10は、実施の形態1の変形例の軸受保持部材3の一部を拡大して示す図である。この変形例では、軸受保持部材3の軸受対向部33と軸受13の外輪13aとの隙間に、グリスGが設けられている。グリスGとしては、一般的な軸受用グリスを用いることができる。
次に、実施の形態2について説明する。図11は、実施の形態2の電動機1の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。実施の形態2の電動機1は、軸受保持部材3Aの構成において、実施の形態1の電動機1と相違する。
次に、実施の形態3について説明する。図13(A)は、実施の形態3の電動機1の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。実施の形態3の電動機1は、軸受保持部材3Bの構成において、実施の形態1の電動機1と相違する。
次に、実施の形態4について説明する。図14は、実施の形態4の電動機1の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。実施の形態4の電動機1は、軸受保持部材3Cの構成において、実施の形態1の電動機1と相違する。
次に、実施の形態5について説明する。図15(A)は、実施の形態5の電動機1の一部を拡大して示す断面図である。実施の形態5の電動機1は、軸受保持部材3Dの構成において、実施の形態1の電動機1と相違する。
次に、各実施の形態に適用可能な変形例の回転子について説明する。図16は、変形例の回転子2Aを示す断面図である。上述した実施の形態1の回転子2は、磁石磁極と仮想磁極とを有するコンシクエントポール型であった。これに対し、変形例の回転子2Aは、全ての磁極が磁石磁極で構成される非コンシクエントポール型である。
次に、上述した各実施の形態および変形例の電動機1が適用可能な空気調和装置について説明する。図17(A)は、実施の形態1の電動機1を適用した空気調和装置500の構成を示す図である。空気調和装置500は、室外機501と、室内機502と、これらを接続する冷媒配管503とを備える。
