Abstract
A motor includes a stator, a rotor and a case. The rotor includes a first rotor core, a second rotor core, and a field magnet. Each of the first rotor core and the second rotor core includes a core base and a plurality of claw poles. The field magnet is located between the core bases. The case includes a cylindrical yoke housing and a lid. To balance magnetic flux from the first rotor core with magnetic flux from the second rotor core, the distance between the rotor and the stator is varied from the distance between the rotor and the yoke housing or the teeth of the stator are shaped to enable magnetic saturation.
Claims21
A motor comprising:
- a stator including a stator core and a winding, wherein the stator core includes a plurality of teeth arranged in a circumferential direction, the winding is wound around the teeth, and each of the teeth extends in a radial direction;
- a rotor including a first rotor core, a second rotor core, and a field magnet, wherein
- each of the first rotor core and the second rotor core includes a substantially disk-shaped core base, and a plurality of claw poles arranged in equal intervals on a circumferential portion of the core base,
- each of the claw poles projects toward an outer side in the radial direction and extends in an axial direction,
- the core bases are opposed to each other, and the claw poles are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction,
- the field magnet is located between the core bases in the axial direction, the field magnet is magnetized in the axial direction so that the claw poles of the first rotor core function as first magnetic poles and the claw poles of the second rotor core function as second magnetic poles;
- and
- a case that accommodates the stator and the rotor, wherein the case includes a cylindrical yoke housing, which has a closed end, and a lid, which closes an opening of the yoke housing, and the yoke housing is formed by a magnetic body,
- wherein to balance magnetic flux from the first rotor core with magnetic flux from the second rotor core, the first rotor core and the second rotor core have asymmetric shapes.
