Abstract

In a fan motor, there are provided protruding portions provided integrally with a base member so as to face a magnet and protrude toward the magnet, and openings facing the magnet, in the base member made of magnetic material. As to the positional relation between the protruding portions and the openings, when the protruding portions are positioned corresponding to centers of the magnetic poles, the openings are positioned corresponding to boundaries between the magnetic poles. As to the positional relation between the protruding portions and the coils, when the protruding portions are positioned corresponding to centers of the magnetic poles, both ends of the coils are positioned corresponding to positions other than the boundaries between the magnetic poles.

Claims (23)

1. A brushless motor comprising:

a rotor having a magnet, the magnet including north and south magnetic pole pairs which are alternately arranged in a direction of rotation;

a stator having coils provided so as to face the magnet, wherein the rotor is rotated by supplying a current to the coils of the stator; and

a housing made of magnetic material,

wherein the housing comprises:

protruding portion provided integrally with the housing so as to face the magnet and protrude toward the magnet, and

an opening facing the magnet,

wherein the protruding portion and the opening has a positional relationship therebetween, such that when the protruding portion is positioned corresponding to a center of the magnetic pole of said magnetic pole pairs, the opening is positioned corresponding to a boundary between the magnetic poles of said magnetic pole pairs, and

wherein the protruding portion and the coils has a positional relationship therebetween, such that when the protruding portion is positioned corresponding to the center of the magnetic pole of said magnetic pole pairs, both ends of the coils are positioned corresponding to positions other than the boundary between the magnetic poles of said magnetic pole pairs.

2. The brushless motor according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board on which the coils are mounted, wherein the circuit board has positioning through hole formed corresponding to the protruding portion.

3. The brushless motor according to claim 2 , wherein the protruding portion is formed in a cylindrical shape.

4. A brushless type fan motor comprising:

the brushless motor according to claim 1 ; and

vanes fixed to a rotation shaft of the rotor.

5. An electronic device comprising the brushless type fan motor according to claim 4 .

6. A brushless type fan motor comprising:

the brushless motor according to claim 2 ; and

vanes fixed to a rotation shaft of the rotor.

7. A brusheless type fan motor comprising:

the brushless motor according to claim 3 ; and

vanes fixed to a rotation shaft of the rotor.

8. An electronic device comprising the brushless type fan motor according to claim 5 .

9. An electronic device comprising the brushless type fan motor according to claim 6 .
