Abstract
A rotor portion includes an upper cylindrical portion and a lower cylindrical portion, each of which is configured to rotate together with a rotor. A stator portion includes a circuit board including a rotation detection portion located thereon. The lower cylindrical portion includes a lower balance correction portion. The upper cylindrical portion includes an upper balance correction portion. In addition, a detectable portion configured to be detected by the rotation detection portion is provided on the upper cylindrical portion.
Claims16
An inner-rotor brushless motor comprising:
- a rotor portion including a shaft extending in a vertical direction along a central axis;
- a stator portion located radially outside of the rotor portion;
- and
- a bearing portion configured to support the rotor portion with respect to the stator portion;
- wherein
- the rotor portion includes:
- a rotor configured to rotate together with the shaft, and including at least one magnet;
- and
- an upper cylindrical portion and a lower cylindrical portion located axially above and below, respectively, the rotor, and configured to rotate together with the rotor;
- the stator portion includes:
- a stator located radially opposite to the rotor with a gap intervening therebetween;
- a housing configured to hold the stator;
- a cap located axially above the housing;
- and
- a circuit board held by one of the housing and the stator, and including a rotation detection portion located thereon;
- the bearing portion includes:
- an upper bearing configured to rotatably support the shaft and held by the cap axially above the stator;
- and
- a lower bearing configured to rotatably support the shaft and held by the housing axially below the stator;
- the lower cylindrical portion includes a lower balance correction portion;
- and
- the upper cylindrical portion includes a detectable portion configured to be detected by the rotation detection portion located thereon, and includes an upper balance correction portion.
