Electric motor apparatus with equi-potentialized brackets
View Patent ↗A brushless motor includes a stator molded integrally with a resin having a fixing member including a stator iron core and a winding wound thereon, a rotor of a disk-like iron core holding a ferrite resin magnet in a circumferential direction, the rotor arranged to face the stator about a shaft, a bearing rotatably supporting the shaft, and conductive brackets fixing the bearing. The brackets are electrically connected to each other with a conducting pin in the stator.
1. A brushless motor comprising:
a stator including a stator iron core and windings wound thereon molded together by a layer of resin mold;
a printed wiring board with a drive circuit mounted thereon for energizing the windings, no part of the printed wiring board being molded in the resin mold;
a rotor of a disk-like iron core arranged to face the stator about a shaft;
a pair of bearings rotatably supporting the shaft;
two conductive brackets fixing the pair of bearings, respectively; and
a conducting member electrically connecting the two brackets to each other, wherein the conducting member runs inside the layer of resin so that the conducting member is electrically insulated from the stator iron core, and no part of the conducting member is in physical contact with the printed wiring board.
2. The brushless motor according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting member is electrically insulated from the windings.
3. The brushless motor according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting member has one end exposed out of the layer of resin mold.
4. An electric apparatus comprising a brushless motor according to claim 1 .
