Abstract
A motor structure of a claw pole type two-phase synchronous motor has a stator including two armature coils held between corresponding pairs of stator yokes and superposed on one another, and a rotor coaxially mounted on the stator and having a rotary shaft around which the rotor rotates so that a part of the chassis of a memory apparatus forms one of the stator yokes.
Claims4
A claw pole type synchronous motor used for driving a memory apparatus, said motor comprising:
- (a) a memory apparatus chassis having a depressed mount and a flange, said depressed mount and said flange being integrally formed with said chassis as a single piece, said depressed mount having a circular bottom, and said flange being provided coaxially with and in said depressed mount;
- (b) a rotor including a permanent magnet and a shaft to which said permanent magnet is coaxially fixed, said shaft being rotatably mounted on said circular bottom of said depressed portion;
- (c) a rotor bearing fixed to said flange of said chassis for supporting said rotor;
- and
- (d) a stator disposed coaxially with said rotor, said stator including:
- (i) at least two pairs of stator yokes superposed on one another, said stator yokes being made from a soft magnetic steel plate and each of said stator yokes having a circular edge with pole teeth formed thereon, said circular edge of each of said stator yokes facing said permanent magnet and said pole teeth being disposed to oppose said permanent magnet, one of said stator yokes being integrated with said circular bottom of said depressed mount of said chassis;
- and
- (ii) a plurality of armature coils each disposed between a respective one of said pairs of said stator yokes;
- and
- (e) a molded portion coupling said rotor bearing to said stator yokes.
