Abstract

Abstract A brushless motor having a plurality of weight reducing holes is disclosed. The weight reducing holes are formed in the thick parts of the stator housing of the motor to prevent shrinkage of the thick parts of the housing when forming the housing through injection molding. The weight reducing holes are formed in the housing by appropriately positioning cores in the mold before injecting melted resin into the mold. The weight reducing holes are formed in a bearing seat mouth of the housing as well as in an outer portion of the mouth.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A bearing support for seating a cylindrical rotating shaft bearing of a motor, comprising: an injection molded body with a cylindrical bearing seat mouth adapted to receive said rotating shaft bearing, and means for preventing a size deformation of said injection molded body when cooling the body formed by injection molding, said deformation tending to occur as a result of differences in cooling time between said portions of different thickness, said size deformation preventing means including at least one cavity formed only in a portion of said body adjacent said cylindrical bearing seat, said portion having a thickness greater than a remaining portion of said body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
A bearing support for seating a cylindrical rotating shaft bearing of a motor, comprising: an injection molded body with a cylindrical bearing seat mouth adapted to receive said rotating shaft bearing, and means for preventing a size deformation of said injection molded body when cooling the body formed by injection molding, said deformation tending to occur as a result of differences in cooling time between said portions of different thickness, said size deformation preventing means including at least one cavity formed only in a portion of said body adjacent said cylindrical bearing seat, said portion having a thickness greater than a remaining portion of said body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The bearing support of claim 1, further comprising a through hole coextensive with the cylindrical bearing seat mouth to receive a rotating shaft of the motor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
The bearing support of claim 2, wherein the at least one cavity comprises a plurality of axial cavities formed in said body adjacent to and spaced about a circumference of said cylindrical bearing seat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The bearing support of claim 1, wherein a height of said at least one cavity is about equal to or greater than a height of said bearing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 137 words
An integrated housing of a rotatable brushless motor manufactured by molding, comprising: a molded resin integrated body having a through hole and bearing seating steps respectively formed around opposite ends of the through hole, said integrated body further including a means for preventing a size deformation of said body when cooling the body formed by molding, said size deformation preventing means including a plurality of axial holes formed around at least one of said bearing seating steps to prevent said housing from being deformed while cooling the molded integrated body, said axial holes being formed in a portion of the body formed around said at least one said bearing steps and which portion has a thickness greater than remaining portions of said body which are not formed around said at least one of said bearing seating steps.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 137 words
An integrated housing of a rotatable brushless motor manufactured by molding, comprising: a molded resin integrated body having a through hole and bearing seating steps respectively formed around opposite ends of the through hole, said integrated body further including a means for preventing a size deformation of said body when cooling the body formed by molding, said size deformation preventing means including a plurality of axial holes formed around at least one of said bearing seating steps to prevent said housing from being deformed while cooling the molded integrated body, said axial holes being formed in a portion of the body formed around said at least one said bearing steps and which portion has a thickness greater than remaining portions of said body which are not formed around said at least one of said bearing seating steps.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 29 words
The integrated housing of claim 5, wherein a height of said axial holes are about equal to a height of a bearing received in one said bearing seating step.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 30 words
The integrated housing of claim 5, further comprising a plurality of ribs between respective ones of said axial holes to strengthen said at least one of said bearing seating steps.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
The integrated housing of claim 7, wherein the plurality of ribs are arranged circumferentially at predetermined intervals about said bearing seating step.
