`
`
`
`[Detailed description of the invention]
`
`[0001]
`
`[Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a DC brushless m
`
`otor used for driving a fan of an indoor air conditioner.
`
`[0002]
`
`[Prior art] Conventionally, an AC induction motor for changing the number of win
`
`dings and changing the rotation speed has been used for driving such a fan. How
`
`ever, the AC induction motor has a drawback that it is inefficient, does not satisfy
`
`the requirement of energy saving, and is large in size. Therefore, in recent years,
`
`a DC brushless motor has begun to be employed instead of an AC induction moto
`r.
`
`[0003]As shown in FIG. 13, in this DC brushless motor, an output shaft 53 is rota
`
`tably supported by a housing 51 via a bearing 52, and a stator 54 which has a plu
`
`rality of magnetic pole portions around which a coil is wound and which is externa
`
`lly fitted on an output shaft 53 with a predetermined gap is integrally fixed in ah
`
`ousing by a resin mold (see hatching in the drawing). A rotor casing 57 in which a

`
`permanent magnet 58 obtained by magnetizing an annular magnet material to a
`
`plurality of poles is fitted and fitted to a stator 54 with a gap is press-fitted into a
`
`knurled part of an output shaft 53 at a boss part 57 a at the center.
`
`[0004]Then, when a plurality of magnetic pole portions of the inner stator 54 are
`
`sequentially excited, an outer permanent magnet 58 is sequentially attracted tot
`
`he magnetized magnetic pole portion, the rotor casing 57 rotates, and this rotatio
`
`n is transmitted to the output shaft 53 via the boss portion 57 a, whereby the out
`
`put shaft 53 rotates.
`
`[0005]
`
`[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, since the DC brushless motor i
`
`ncorporates a driving circuit in an electric motor, it is necessary to mold a resin, r
`
`esulting in a higher cost. Moreover, since there is no fin for heat radiation of the
`
`driving IC and the temperature of the IC rises, it is necessary to keep the output
`
`of the motor small.
`
`[OO06]A stator which has a shaft member and a plurality of magnetic pole parts a
`
`nd is externally fitted to the shaft member with a predetermined gap therebetwee
`
`n ; There has been proposed a DC brushless motor having a plurality of magnetic
`
`pole pieces made of a permanent magnet, and a printed circuit board having a ro
`
`tor which is externally fitted to the stator with a predetermined gap therebetwee
`
`n, and a drive circuit which is disposed opposite one end of the stator and which c
`
`ontrols energization of the stator coil.
`
`[0007 ]In this DC brushless electric motor, a printed circuit board is fixed to an en
`
`d bracket in a housing or a housing by a clip or the like. Since it is not necessary
`
`to mold the resin mold as described above and the housing or the end bracket ca
`
`n be used for heat radiation of the driving IC, it is possible to reduce the size and
`
`cost of the electric motor.
`
`[OOO8]It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a DC brushless
`
`motor in which a connecting structure between a stator and a pattern circuit of a
`
`printed circuit board is improved.
`
`[0009]
`
`[Means for solving the problem] To achieve the above object, the present inventi
`
`on provides a rotor 8 having a shaft member 4, a stator 7 having a plurality of m
`
`agnetic pole portions 7 b and externally fitted to the shaft member 4 with a prede
`
`termined gap therebetween, and a plurality of magnetic pole pieces 13 made of a
`
`permanent magnet, and a rotor which is externally fitted to the stator 7 with a pr
`
`edetermined gap therebetween. This DC brushless motor is provided with a printe
`
`d circuit board 21 which is arranged opposite to one end face of the stator 7 andt
`
`he rotor 8 and has a driving circuit for controlling energization of the coil 18 of th

`
`e stator 7. A coil terminal pin 19 projecting toward the printed circuit board 21 is
`
`provided on the stator 7, and a plug 45,46 c corresponding to the coil terminal pi
`
`n 19 is formed on the printed circuit board 21, and a connector is attached to a te
`
`rminal processing pattern circuit of the coil 18. 21 A terminal of one end of the fle
`
`xible cable 49 is connected to the connector 45,46, and the other end of the elect
`
`ric wire 49 detoured to the pattern surface of the printed circuit board 21 is provi
`
`ded. A receptacle 50 which is fitted into the insertion hole 21 ¢c and can be plugge
`
`d and connected to the coil terminal pin 19 is mounted, and a rubber bush with sl
`
`it 25 which holds an intermediate part of the electric wire 49 is mounted on the p
`
`rinted circuit board 21.
`
`[0010]
`
`[Action and effect] According to the direct current brushless motor of the present
`
`invention, the terminal of the flexible electric wire 4 is connected to the connector
`
`45,46 mounted on the printed circuit board 21, and this flexible electric wire 49 is
`
`connected.
`
`A 9 is detoured to a pattern surface of a printed circuit board 21, a receptacle 50
`
`is inserted and connected from an insertion hole 21 c to a coil terminal pin 19, an
`
`d an intermediate part of a flexible wire 49 is inserted into a rubber bush 25 thro
`
`ugh a slit 25 c and held by a rubber bush 25. Thus, even if the stator 7 vibrates d
`
`ue to cogging, the vibration is absorbed by the flexible electric wire 49 and is not
`
`transmitted to the printed circuit board 21 side, so that adverse effects such as vi
`
`bration of the Hall element 42 for magnetic flux detection attached to the printed
`
`circuit board 21 can be prevented.
`
`[0011]Further, since the terminal of the flexible electric wire 49 can be connected
`
`to the connector 45,46, melting of the insulating coating such as when the electri
`
`c wire 49 is soldered and connected can be prevented. Further, since the receptac
`
`le 50 of the flexible cable 49 can be plugged into the coil terminal pin 19 of the st
`
`ator 7, the connection operation can be easily performed.
`
`[0012]Further, since the intermediate portion of the flexible wire 49 can be held o
`
`nly by inserting the intermediate portion of the flexible wire 49 into the slit 25 co
`
`f the rubber bush 25, it is possible to easily perform the holding work and to prev
`
`ent the flexible wire 21 from being broken or damaged at the outer peripheral ed
`
`ge portion of the printed circuit board 1. Moreover, since the vibration of the flexi
`
`ble electric wire 49 is absorbed by the rubber bush 25, the vibration is not transm
`
`itted from the rubber bush 25 to the printed circuit board 21.

`[0013]

`

`
`A shoe 25 is provided, and a recessed groove 25 a on an outer peripheral surfac
`
`e, an axial through hole 25 bin an axial direction, and a slit 25 c for inserting ele
`
`ctric wire from the through hole 25 b to an outer surface are formed in the rubber
`
`bush 25. In this rubber bush 25, a recessed groove 25 a is fitted in 2 bush fitting
`
`recessed parts 21 g of the printed circuit board 21 from a radial direction and is
`
`mounted on a printed circuit board 21. In the through hole 25 b of each of the ru
`
`bber bushings 25, an intermediate portion of the 3 pairs of electric wires 49 of th
`
`e 2 and 3 connectors 45,46 and is inserted from the electric wire insertion slit 25
`
`c. 1.
`
`[0034]A spacer 27,28 having a long arc shape as shown in FIGS. 8 a and 3 b and
`
`a spacer 28 having a short arc shape as shown in FIGS. 4c and 4d are provided,
`
`and positioning projections 27 a and 28 a are provided on both surfaces of each s
`
`pacer 27 and, respectively. In the spacer 27,28, as shown in FIG. 2, the long spa
`
`cer 27 is fitted into the 2 positioning holes 21 of the upper of the printed circuit b
`
`oard 21 from the part mounting surface 21 a side, and a short spacer 28 is provid
`
`ed. 27 One positioning projection 28 a is fitted into the lower 2 positioning holes
`
`21 e from the part mounting surface 21 a side.
`
`[0035]Then, a part mounting surface 21 a of the printed circuit board 21 is oppos
`
`ed to a bottom plate part of the end bracket 3. Byfitting the positioning projectio
`
`ns 27,28 a, 27 a of the respective spacers 28 into the positioning holes 3 d of the
`
`end bracket 3, the printed circuit board 21 is positioned in a parallel state and in
`
`a rotation direction of the bottom plate portion of the end bracket 3. The end surf
`
`ace of the rubber bush 25 is in contact with the end bracket 3 and functions as a
`
`spacer. Further, the driver IC 47 is pressed by the IC sheet 23, and the insulating
`
`sheet 24 comesinto close contact with the bottom plate portion of the end bracke
`
`t 3. As a result, the end bracket 3 can be used as a heat radiation fin of the driver
`
`IC 47, so that the motor can be made compact.

`
`ded in contact with an outer peripheral edge part of a pattern surface 21 b of the
`
`printed circuit board 21 to press the printed circuit board 21 to the end bracket 3
`
`side. In this pressing piece portion 37 b, there are formed a V-shaped central proj

`
`printed circuit board 21 is reduced.
`
`[0037 ]And as shown in Fig.1, it is the above-mentioned end bracket about the pu
`
`sh-in piece part 37a of the four spring clips 37.
`
`The printed circuit board 21 is attached to the end bracket 3 by inserting the prin
`
`ted circuit board 21 into the 3 spring insertion holes and pressing the outer perip
`
`heral edge portion of the pattern surface 3 b of the printed circuit board 37 by th
`
`e pressing piece portions 21 b.
`
`[0038 ]In the above configuration, since the guide hole 43 is provided in the Hall
`
`element holder 43, when the Hall element 42 is assembled to the Hall element ho
`
`Ider 43, the 4 lead wires 42 a of the Hall element 42 are pushed into the guide ho
`
`le 43 from the housing portion 43 d side of the Hall element holder 43. Each lead
`
`42 a is guided by a guide hole 43 e, and its interval is naturally widened, and whe
`
`n it protrudes from the base 43 b side to the outside, it is spread in parallel with t
`
`he same interval as the mount hole 21 d of the printed circuit board 21. Thus, it i
`
`s possible to easily attach the lead 42 a to the mount hole 21 d of the printed circ
`
`uit board 21 and attach the Hall element holder 43 to the printed circuit board 2
`
`1.
`
`[0039]Further, since the base portion 43 b of the Hall element holder 43 is forme
`
`d to have a wide width, it can be mounted on the printed circuit board 21 in a sta
`
`ble and stable state, and reliability of detection accuracy by the Hall element 42 i
`
`s improved.
`
`[0040]Further, since the recess 43 f is provided on the mounting surface 43 c of t
`
`he base portion 43 b of the Hall element holder 43, heat transmitted through the
`
`lead wire 43 a is dissipated by the cutout portion 43 f during the soldering operati
`
`on of the lead 42 a of the Hall element 42 to the printed circuit board 21, thereby
`
`preventing melting of the mounting surface 42 c.
`
`[0041 ]Furthermore, since the housing portion 43 d of the tip portion 43 a of the
`
`Hall element holder 43 is formed in an arcuate surface, the Hall element 42 can b
`
`e faced to a narrow gap between the stator 7 and the rotor 8. Further, by forming
`
`an opening 43 g on the surface of the housing portion 43 d on the rotor 8 side, th
`
`e housing portion 43 d can be made thinner. When the Hall element 42 is bent in
`
`contact with the coil 18, it is preferable to keep the surface of the stator 7 closet
`
`o the coil 18 because the magnetic flux cannot be detected.
`
`[0042]On the other hand, the terminal of the flexible wire 49 is connected to the
`
`2 and 3 connectors 45,46 mounted on the printed circuit board 21, and the flexibl
`
`e wire 49 is detoured to the pattern surface 21 b of the printed circuit board 21, a
`
`nd the receptacle 50 is inserted and connected from the elongated hole 21 c, 3 b
`
`to the coil terminal pin 19. An intermediate part of a flexible wire 49 is inserted in

`
`to a through hole 25 b from a wire insertion slit 25 c of a rubber bush 25 and hel
`
`d by a rubber bush 25. Thus, even if the stator 7 vibrates due to cogging, the vib
`
`ration is absorbed by the flexible electric wire 49 and is not transmitted to the pri
`
`nted circuit board 21 side, so that adverse effects such as vibration of the Hall ele
`
`ment 42 can be prevented.
`
`[0043]In addition, since the terminals of the flexible wire 49 can be pluggedinto
`
`the connector 45,46, melting of the insulating coating, such as when the wire is s
`
`oldered and connected, is prevented.
`
`It cuts. Further, since the receptacle 50 of the flexible cable 49 can be plugged in
`
`to the coil terminal pin 19 of the stator 7, the connection operation can be easily
`
`performed.
`
`[0044]Further, since the intermediate portion of the flexible wire 49 can be held b
`
`y the rubber bush 25 only byinserting the intermediate portion of the flexible wir
`
`e 25 into the slit 49 c, the holding work can be easily performed, and the flexible
`
`wire 21 can be prevented from being loosened or damaged at the outer periphera
`
`| edge portion of the printed circuit board 1. Moreover, since the vibration of the f
`
`lexible electric wire 49 is absorbed by the rubber bush 25, the vibration is not tra
`
`nsmitted from the rubber bush 25 to the printed circuit board 21.
`
`[0045]
`
`[Effect of the Invention] As is apparent from the above description, the DC brushl
`
`ess motor according to the present invention has been described. A flexible electri
`
`c wire with a terminal connected to a connector of a printed circuit board is detou
`
`red to a pattern surface of a printed circuit board, the receptacle is inserted and c
`
`onnected to the coil terminal pin from an insertion hole, and an intermediate part
`
`of the flexible wire is held by a rubber bush. Therefore, even if the stator vibrates
`
`due to cogging, since the vibration is absorbed by the flexible electric wire and is
`
`not transmitted to the printed circuit board side, it is possible to prevent an adver
`
`se effect such as vibration of the Hall element mounted on the printed circuit boar
`
`d.
`
`[0046]Further, since the terminal of the flexible cable can be plugged and connec
`
`ted to the connector mounted on the printed circuit board, melting of the insulati
`
`ng coating such as when the electric wire is soldered and connected can be preve
`
`nted, and further, the receptacle of the flexible wire can be connected and connec
`
`ted to the coil terminal pin of the stator, so that the connection work can be easil
`
`y performed.
`
`[0047 ]In addition, since the intermediate portion of the flexible electric wire can
`
`be held by the rubber bush only by inserting the intermediate portion into the sli
`
`t, the holding work can be easily performed, and the flexible electric wire can be

`
`broken and the outer peripheral edge portion of the printed circuit board can bed
`
`amaged.
`
`It can be prevented. Moreover, since the vibration of the flexible electric wire is a
`
`bsorbed by the rubber bush, no vibration is transmitted from the rubber bush to t
`
`he printed circuit board.
