Abstract

The present invention provides a motor that enables a lead of a coil to be appropriately led through holes, while allowing the lead of the coil to be fixed without contacting a wall surface of the hole in a base. Cuts 14 b are formed in an insulating sheet or a printed circuit board 14 ; the cuts 14 b extend substantially radially or spirally from a lead lead-out portion 14 a as a center. Thus, even if an end of the lead 7 a abuts against an area located outside the lead lead-out portion 14 a , the abutting area and a nearby area located in the vicinity of the abutting area are pushed open along the cuts 14 b extending from the lead lead-out portion 14 a and guide the end of the lead 7 a toward the lead lead-out portion 14 a . The end of the lead 7 a is thus appropriately guided into the lead lead-out portion 14 a.

Claims (28)

1. A motor comprising:

a substantially planar base;

a core directly or indirectly fixed to a first surface of the base and having a salient pole;

a coil wound around the salient pole of the core;

a flexible insulating sheet on the first surface of the base;

a flexible printed circuit board on a second surface of the base;

a base hole in the base and penetrating the base from the first surface to the second surface,

lead lead-out holes in the printed circuit board and the insulating sheet, respectively, at a position located opposite the base hole;

a cut in at least one of the printed circuit board and the insulating sheet and continuous with the lead lead-out hole and extending substantially spirally toward a periphery of the lead lead-out hole;

a lead penetrating the lead lead-out hole in the insulating sheet, the base hole, and the lead lead-out hole in the printed circuit board and electrically connected to a land on the printed circuit board, the lead being held by the lead lead-out hole; and

a resin in the base hole between the insulating sheet and the printed circuit board thereby fixing the lead inside the base hole.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the lead lead-out hole around which the cut is formed is a hole smaller than thickness of the lead penetrating the lead lead-out portion.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the resin fixing the lead is an adhesive.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the cut does not reach a peripheral part of the printed circuit board or the insulating sheet.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cuts are located around a center of the lead lead-out hole at equal radial angles.

6. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a hole smaller than the base hole is formed within an area corresponding to an inside of the base hole in middle of the cut.

7. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the cut is formed only within an area located inside the base hole.

8. A motor comprising:

a substantially planar base;

a core directly or indirectly fixed to a first surface of the base and having a salient pole;

a coil wound around the salient pole of the core;

a flexible insulating sheet on the first surface of the base;

a flexible printed circuit board on a second surface of the base;

a base hole in the base and penetrating the base from the first surface to the second surface,

lead lead-out holes in the printed circuit board and the insulating sheet, respectively, at a position located opposite the base hole;

a cut in at least one of the printed circuit board and the insulating sheet and continuous with the lead lead-out hole and extending substantially radially or spirally toward a periphery of the lead lead-out hole;

a lead penetrating the lead lead-out hole in the insulating sheet, the base hole, and the lead lead-out hole in the printed circuit board and electrically connected to a land on the printed circuit board, the lead being held by the lead lead-out hole; and

a resin in the base hole between the insulating sheet and the printed circuit board thereby fixing the lead inside the base hole, wherein the lead is fixed to a substantially central position in the hole in the base.
