Abstract

A motor includes a motor part and an amplifier configured to supply electric power to the motor part. The motor part includes a stator and a rotor. The amplifier includes a first frame constituting a housing of the amplifier and a second frame. The second frame is arranged on a first face located in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis direction of the rotor at the first frame. At least one substrate housed in the first frame is attached to the second frame.

Claims (37)

1. A motor comprising:

a motor part comprising a stator and a rotor; and

an amplifier configured to supply electric power to the motor part, the amplifier comprising:

a first frame constituting a housing of the amplifier; and

a second frame which is arranged on a first face located in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis direction of the rotor at the first frame and to which at least one substrate housed in the first frame is attached,

wherein the second frame comprises

a base attached to the first face of the first frame, and

at least one substrate attachment member which is erected from the base and to which the at least one substrate is attached.

2. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the amplifier comprises a heat sink which is arranged on a second face different from the first face at the first frame and to which at least another substrate different from the at least one substrate housed in the first frame is attached.

3. The motor according to claim 2 ,

wherein the amplifier comprises at least one connector arranged on a third face different from the first face and the second face at the first frame.

4. The motor according to claim 3 ,

wherein the amplifier is configured so as to be able to change a positional relationship among the second frame, the heat sink, and the at least one connector at the first frame.

5. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the substrate attachment member comprises a plurality of substrate attachment faces.

6. The motor according to claim 5 ,

wherein at least two substrate attachment faces of the plurality of substrate attachment faces are perpendicular to each other.

7. The motor according to claim 5 ,

wherein at least two substrate attachment faces of the plurality of substrate attachment faces are parallel to each other.

8. The motor according to claim 3 ,

wherein the amplifier comprises a connector reception substrate which is housed in the first frame and to which the at least one connector is connected electrically, and

wherein the connector reception substrate is arranged such that at least a part of the connector reception substrate faces the base of the second frame.

9. The motor according to claim 2 ,

wherein the amplifier comprises

a power substrate at which a plurality of switching elements constituting a power conversion circuit are arranged, and

a gate substrate at which a drive circuit configured to drive the plurality of switching elements is arranged, and

wherein the power substrate and the gate substrate are arranged between the heat sink and the substrate attachment member of the second frame.

10. The motor according to claim 9 ,

wherein the amplifier comprises an insulating heat conductive sheet arranged between the gate substrate and the substrate attachment member, and

wherein the gate substrate is arranged so as to touch the substrate attachment member via the heat conductive sheet.

11. A producing method for a motor comprising a motor part and an amplifier configured to supply electric power to the motor part, the motor part comprising a stator and a rotor, the producing method comprising:

attaching at least one substrate housed in a first frame constituting a housing of the amplifier to a substrate attachment member of a second frame which comprises a base and at least one the substrate attachment member which is erected from the base; and

attaching the base of the second frame to which the at least one substrate is attached to a first face located in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis direction of the rotor at the first frame.

12. The producing method for the motor according to claim 11 , further comprising:

attaching at least another substrate different from the at least one substrate housed in the first frame to a heat sink; and

attaching the heat sink to which the at least another substrate is attached to a second face different from the first face of the first frame.
