Abstract

Abstract In a brushless motor formed from a plate type stator in which a driving coil is buried, and a rotor which opposes this stator, a cutout is formed in a portion where no driving coil of a stator exists and a pulley section is provided in the periphery of the shaft-through section of the rotor. The pulley section is inserted into the rotor shaft hole formed in the center of the stator, and a pulley belt wound on the pulley section is guided outside the motor via the cutout of the above-mentioned stator. That is, the brushless motor is of an ultra-thin type in which a pulley is housed within the thickness of a motor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 164 words
A brushless motor, comprising a stator coil member in which a cutout is formed so as to extend to a rotor shaft hole section in the center with a plurality of driving coils being arranged in said stator coil member in a part other than said cutout, a rotor member in which a permanent magnet that rotates oppositely facing said driving coils is held, a bracket member for holding said stator coil member and for rotatably holding said rotor member, and a subrotor member which is held in the rotor member in such a configuration that the stator coil member is put between itself and said permanent magnet of the rotor member, said subrotor being provided with a pulley member which rotates integrally with said rotor member and which is positioned on the rotor shaft hole section of said stator coil member so that a belt which is wound on said pulley member is pulled out via said cutout of said stator coil member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 164 words
A brushless motor, comprising a stator coil member in which a cutout is formed so as to extend to a rotor shaft hole section in the center with a plurality of driving coils being arranged in said stator coil member in a part other than said cutout, a rotor member in which a permanent magnet that rotates oppositely facing said driving coils is held, a bracket member for holding said stator coil member and for rotatably holding said rotor member, and a subrotor member which is held in the rotor member in such a configuration that the stator coil member is put between itself and said permanent magnet of the rotor member, said subrotor being provided with a pulley member which rotates integrally with said rotor member and which is positioned on the rotor shaft hole section of said stator coil member so that a belt which is wound on said pulley member is pulled out via said cutout of said stator coil member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
A brushless motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a portion of the bracket member is cut and raised so as to form a shield plate which covers the outer circumference of the rotor member or the stator coil member is provided.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 57 words
A brushless motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a holding member is provided for holding a terminal member that supplies a current to said driving coils of the stator coil member, and a terminal member connected to the end of a predetermined driving coil is projected from said holding member to used as a connection terminal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 58 words
A brushless motor as claimed in claim 2, wherein a holding member is provided for holding a terminal member that supplies a current to said driving coils of the stator coil member, and a terminal member connected to the end of a predetermined driving coil is projected from said holding member to be used as a connection terminal.
