Abstract

A motor of the present invention is provided with a storage portion, and information stored in the storage portion can be output to the outside.

Claims (32)

1 . A motor comprising:

a storage portion,

wherein information stored in the storage portion can be output to an outside.

2 . The motor of claim 1 , further comprising:

a rotor;

a position detection element that is attached to detect a position of the rotor; and

the storage portion that stores information indicating an error of a position where the position detection element is attached.

3 . The motor of claim 2 , further comprising:

a position detection board on which the position detection element is provided,

wherein the storage portion is provided on the position detection board.

4 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein the storage portion is formed with a storage element.

5 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein, in the storage portion, a series circuit composed of two resistors is connected to a power supply and one of the two resistors is a variable resistor, and the storage portion outputs a voltage between the two resistors as a signal for the information.

6 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein, in the storage portion, a plurality of series circuits composed of resistors and jumper wires that can be cut are connected in parallel with respect to a power supply, and the storage portion outputs each of voltages between the resistors and the jumper wires as a signal for the information.

7 . The motor of claim 1 ,

wherein, in the storage portion, a plurality of series circuits composed of sub-resistors and jumper wires that can be cut are connected in parallel with respect to a main resistor connected to a power supply, and the storage portion outputs a voltage of the main resistor on a side of the sub-resistors as a signal for the information.

8 . The motor of claim 1 , further comprising:

a position detection element that is attached to the motor to detect a position of a rotor,

wherein, in the storage portion, a plurality of series circuits composed of resistors and jumper wires that can be cut are connected in parallel with respect to an electrical wire different from an electrical wire for supplying electric power to the position detection element, and the storage portion outputs a voltage of the series circuits on a side of a power supply as a signal for the information.

9 . The motor of claim 2 ,

wherein, in the storage portion, a plurality of series circuits composed of resistors and jumper wires that can be cut are connected in parallel with respect to an electrical wire different from an electrical wire for supplying electric power to the position detection element and the storage portion outputs a voltage of the series circuits on a side of a power supply as a signal for the information.

10 . A moving unit comprising the motor of claim 2 .

11 . The moving unit of claim 10 , further comprising:

the motor;

a control device that controls the motor based on error information on a position where the position detection element is attached, the error information being obtained from the storage portion of the motor; and

a battery that supplies electric power to the motor and the control device.

12 . A method of storing error information on a position where a rotor position detection element is attached, comprising:

fixing, to a motor, a position detection element that detects a position of a rotor;

measuring, by rotating the motor, an error of a position where the position detection element is attached; and

storing, in a storage portion included in the motor, information indicating the error of the position where the position detection element is attached.
