Fan motor with a fan frame formed in part by a portion of a motor base

Claim 2

A fan motor comprising: a motor unit having a stator and a rotor, said stator having a cup-shaped case which has an opening at the one end thereof, and said rotor having an excitation coil a commutator and a rotary shaft; a first frame closing said opening end of said cup-shaped case, said first frame supporting a brush through which current is supplied to said commutator, a terminal of said brush projecting outside of said first frame, and being connected to a supplying coil in an outer projected portion thereof; a fan fixed on said rotary shaft and rotating around the outer periphery of said cup-shaped case; a second frame fixed on said first frame and covering the outer periphery of said fan; and a cover for covering said terminal of said brush projecting outside of said first frame.

Claim 3

A fan motor comprising: a motor unit having a stator and a rotor, said stator having a cup-shaped case which has an opening at the one end thereof, and said rotor having an excitation coil, a commutator and a rotary shaft; a first frame closing said opening end of said cup-shaped case, said first frame having a thin wall portion in which a concave depression is formed, a brush through which current is supplied to said commutator being supported by said thin wall portion, a part of a terminal of said brush projecting outside through said thin wall portion and being the projected part of said terminal being connected to a supplying coil; an electric circuit arranged outside of said thin wall portion; a cover for covering said electric circuit and said terminal; a fan fixed on said rotary shaft and rotating around the periphery of said cup-shaped case; and a second frame fixed on said first frame and covering the periphery of said fan.

Claim 4

A fan motor comprising: a motor unit having a stator and a rotor, said stator having a cup-shaped case which has an opening at the one end thereof, and said rotor having an excitation coil, a commutator and a rotary shaft; a first frame closing said opening end of said cup-shaped case, said first frame having a thin wall portion in which a concave depression is formed, a brush through which current is supplied to said commutator being supported by said thin wall portion, a part of a terminal of said brush projecting outside through said thin wall portion and being the projected part of said terminal being connected to a supplying coil; an electric circuit arranged outside of said thin wall portion; a cover for covering said electric circuit and said terminal; a fan fixed on said rotary shaft and rotating around the periphery of said cup-shaped case; and a second frame fixed on said first frame and covering the periphery of said fan.

Claim 5

A fan motor comprising: a motor unit having a cup-shaped case, a first bearing supported on said cup-shaped case, a stator unit, an excitation coil, and rotor unit, said cup-shaped case having an opening at the one end thereof, said stator unit having a permanent magnet, said excitation coil being fixed on a rotary shaft rotatably supported at the center of said cup-shaped case, and a supplying terminal of said excitation coil being fixed on said rotor unit; a fan fixed on said rotary shaft; and a frame assembly surrounding said motor unit and said fan, said frame assembly comprising a first frame and a second frame, said first frame being held so as to close said opening of the one end of said cup-shaped case, said first frame supporting a second bearing which rotatably supports one end of said rotary shaft in the center of said first frame, said first frame having a recessed portion in the outer surface thereof, a brush through which current is supplied to said commutator being supported on the inner side of a thin wall portion on which said recessed portion is formed, a terminal of said brush being supported by said first frame so that said terminal passes through said thin wall portion, said second frame surrounding the periphery of said fan being fixed on the peripheral portion of said first frame, an electric circuit being supported in said recessed portion of said first frame, and a protective cover being provided for closing said recessed portion by the enclosure of an opening of said recessed portion.

Claim 6

A fan motor comprising: a motor unit having a cup-shaped case, a first bearing supported on said cup-shaped case, a stator unit, an excitation coil, and rotor unit, said cup-shaped case having an opening at the one end thereof, said stator unit having a permanent magnet, said excitation coil being fixed on a rotary shaft rotatably supported at the center of said cup-shaped case, and a supplying terminal of said excitation coil being fixed on said rotor unit; a fan fixed on said rotary shaft; and a frame assembly surrounding said motor unit and said fan, said frame assembly comprising a first frame and a second frame, said first frame being held so as to close said opening of the one end of said cup-shaped case, said first frame supporting a second bearing which rotatably supports one end of said rotary shaft in the center of said first frame, said first frame having a recessed portion in the outer surface thereof, a brush through which current is supplied to said commutator being supported on the inner side of a thin wall portion on which said recessed portion is formed, a terminal of said brush being supported by said first frame so that said terminal passes through said thin wall portion, said second frame surrounding the periphery of said fan being fixed on the peripheral portion of said first frame, an electric circuit being supported in said recessed portion of said first frame, and a protective cover being provided for closing said recessed portion by the enclosure of an opening of said recessed portion.
