Bearing structure for motor

A bearing structure for use in a motor, for supporting a rotor housed in a casing of the motor, the bearing structure comprising:

• bearing means for providing thrust support for the rotor, and for forming a space in the casing in cooperation with an inner wall of the casing, said bearing means being positionable along an axial direction relative to the casing during assembly of the bearing structure;
• the casing having an injection port for communicating with said space, and a projecting wall formed integrally on the casing, for surrounding said injection port;
• resinous filling injected through said injection port into said space, for securing said bearing means in the casing;
• and
• a cap formed integrally with said resinous filling, for covering said projecting wall.

A motor comprising:

• a casing;
• a rotor housed in said casing;
• first bearing means for providing radial support to said rotor, and for forming a first space in the casing in cooperation with an inner wall of the casing, said first bearing being positionable along a radial direction relative to said casing during assembly of the bearing structure;
• second bearing means for providing thrust support to said rotor, and for forming a second space in the casing in cooperation with said inner wall of said casing, said second bearing means being positionable along an axial direction relative to said casing during assembly;
• said casing having a first injection port for communicating with said first space and a second injection port for communicating with said second space, said casing further having a projecting wall formed integrally thereon, for surrounding one injection port selected from said first and second injection ports;
• a first resinous filling injected through said first injection port into said first space, for securing said first bearing means in said casing;
• a second resinous filling injected through said second injection port into said second space, for securing said second bearing means in said casing;
• and
• a cap for covering said projecting wall, said cap being formed integrally with one of said first and second resinous filling corresponding to said selected injection port from said first and second injection ports.
