Fan-equipped motor
A fan-equipped motor includes: a motor for rotating a spindle, the motor including a hollow-shaped motor shaft in which a through hole is formed; and a fan for cooling the motor, the fan including a hollow-shaped rotary shaft in which a through hole is formed, and a plurality of blades attached to the rotary shaft, the fan being disposed on the side of the motor that is opposite to the spindle. The motor shaft and the rotary shaft are disposed so that cooling air produced by the fan flows in a different passage and in a different direction from a gas supplied into the through hole of the rotary shaft and flowing in the through hole of the motor shaft.
1. A fan-equipped motor comprising:
a motor configured to rotate a spindle, the motor including a hollow-shaped motor shaft in which a through hole is formed; and
a fan configured to cool the motor, the fan including a hollow-shaped rotary shaft in which a through hole is formed, and a plurality of blades attached to the rotary shaft, the fan being disposed on a side of the motor opposite to the spindle,
wherein the motor shaft and the rotary shaft are disposed so that cooling air produced by the fan flows in a different passage and in a different direction from a gas supplied into the through hole of the rotary shaft and flowing in the through hole of the motor shaft.
2. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the motor shaft on a side of the rotary shaft and one end of the rotary shaft on a side of the motor shaft are disposed in such a manner that openings of the respective through holes are spaced from each other within a given distance.
3. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 2 , further comprising a leakage preventing member configured to prevent leakage of the gas from between the one end of the rotary shaft and the one end of the motor shaft.
4. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 3 , wherein
the motor shaft has a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the rotary shaft, and
the leakage preventing member is provided at the one end of the rotary shaft so as to cover the one end of the motor shaft in a noncontact state.
5. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 1 , wherein one of one end of the motor shaft on a side of the rotary shaft and one end of the rotary shaft on a side of the motor shaft is inserted in a noncontact state in the through hole at another of the one end of the motor shaft and the one end of the rotary shaft.
6. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 1 , wherein the motor shaft and the rotary shaft are disposed coaxially with each other.
7. The fan-equipped motor according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling air produced by the fan passes through an interior of the motor other than the through hole of the motor shaft.
