Abstract

A motor includes a rotor, a stator, and a circuit board below the stator. The stator includes an insulator to cover at least a portion of each of an upper surface, a lower surface, and circumferential side surfaces of each of teeth of the stator, coils each of which is defined by a conducting wire wound around a separate one of the teeth with the insulator therebetween, and a drawn-out wire drawn out from the coils and electrically connected to the circuit board. A lower portion of the insulator includes a guide radially outward of the coils and including a wall extending downward from a lower surface of the insulator and a bend extending radially outward from a lower end of the wall. At least a portion of the drawn-out wire extends in a circumferential direction along a radially outer surface of the wall.

Claims (31)

1. A motor comprising:

a shaft that extends along a central axis extending in a vertical direction;

a rotor capable of rotating about the central axis;

a stator radially opposite to the rotor; and

a circuit board below the stator; wherein

the stator includes:

an annular core back;

a plurality of teeth extending radially from the core back and arranged in a circumferential direction;

an insulator to cover at least a portion of each of an upper surface, a lower surface, and circumferential side surfaces of each of the teeth;

coils each of which is defined by a conducting wire wound around a separate one of the teeth with the insulator therebetween; and

a drawn-out wire drawn out from the coils and electrically connected to the circuit board;

a lower portion of the insulator includes a guide located radially outward of the coils and including a first wall extending downward from a lower surface of the insulator and a bend extending radially outward from a lower end of the first wall;

at least a portion of the drawn-out wire extends in the circumferential direction along a radially outer surface of the first wall;

the first wall extends in the circumferential direction; and

the drawn-out wire is in contact with both a radially inner surface and the radially outer surface of the first wall.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first wall includes curved surfaces to join the radially outer surface and the radially inner surface to each other at both circumferential end portions thereof.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the guide further includes a second wall extending upward from a radially outer edge of the bend and located opposite to the first wall with a gap therebetween; and

at least a portion of the drawn-out wire is located between the first wall and the second wall.

4. The motor according to claim 3 , wherein the first wall has a radial thickness greater than that of the second wall.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board includes a connection to which the drawn-out wire is connected; and

the connection is located radially outward of a radially outer edge of the bend.

6. The motor according to claim 5 , wherein

the rotor includes a rotor magnet located radially opposite to the stator, and a magnet holder to hold the rotor magnet; and

the connection is located radially outward of the magnet holder.

7. The motor according to claim 6 , wherein at least a portion of the guide is located axially opposite to the rotor magnet.

8. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a number of guides is equal to a number of drawn-out wires.

9. A blower apparatus comprising:

the motor of claim 1 ; and

an impeller fixed to the shaft of the motor.
