In the motor 10 with described this structure, driving current is fed on the coil 21 on stator 19 1 sides with predetermined excitation pattern from the drive circuit section that is arranged on motor 10 outsides.When driving current was supplied in this way, the effect between the magnetic field of magnetic field that rotor 18 produces by coil 21 and the rotor magnet 26 that comes from rotor 18 sides was rotated with rotatingshaft 31.When rotor 18 rotates, be connected on the rotor 18 and fan 8 with blade 25 also rotates with rotor 18.When fan 8 rotates, the air outside the equipment on the direction shown in the arrow mark D1 of Fig. 2 and 3 via being formed on that opening 14 housing 6 in sucks and mobile on the direction shown in the arrow mark D2.Then, air flows in sink 11, and is discharged to the outside of housing 6 via through hole 17, and air heat radiation that hot producing component 12 is produced is to the outside of basic computer 3, the inboard of cooling computer main body 3 thus thus.
With reference to Figure 4 and 5, the rotatingshaft 30 of shown motor 10 supports the bearing unit 30 that rotates thereon and comprises rotatingshaft 31, is furnished with at first radial bearing 32 of circumferential upper support rotatingshaft 31 and forms the relation of separating with first radial bearing 32 in the axial direction so that at second radial bearing 33 of circumferential upper support rotatingshaft 31.Bearing unit 30 also be included in the thrust-bearing 34 of thrust direction upper support rotatingshaft 31 1 ends and be arranged in first radial bearing 32 and second radial bearing 33 between spacer element 35 and as the lubricant oil 38 that is filled in the viscous fluid in the housing 37.Housing 37 side within it holds first radial bearing 32, spacer element 35, second radial bearing 33 and thrust-bearing 34, and has the enclosed construction except the axle mounting hole 45 that rotatingshaft 31 is installed.
The liquid level change that spacer element 35 forms the lubricant oil 38 that the volume that makes at lubricant oil 38 expands owing to temperature variation or fill in the housing 37 when shrinking remains in the scope of the axle mounting hole 45 that is formed with housing 37.
With reference to figure 5, rotatingshaft 31 comprises by first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 and is bearing in the shaft portion main body 31a at its outer circumferential face place and forms arc or conical in shape and the bearing support by thrust-bearing 34 supportings divide 31b on of shaft portion main body 31a is distolateral.Rotatingshaft 31 also comprises another the distolateral mounting portion 31c that goes up and have the rotary member of the rotor 18 that connects for example motor 10 on it that is arranged on shaft portion main body 31a.Rotatingshaft 31 comprises that also being arranged on bearing support divides groove 31d between 31b and the shaft portion main body 31a, breaks away from so that prevent rotatingshaft 31.Divide the 31b place, support rotatingshaft 31 at the outer circumferential face place of its shaft portion main body 31a and by housing 37 at the mounting portion 31c that is stretching out from axle mounting hole 45 at its bearing support by thrust-bearing 34 by first and second radial bearings 32 and 33.In addition, the pad 51 that breaks away from member as anti-axle is arranged on rotatingshaft 31 and the corresponding position of groove 31d.
First and second radial bearings 32 and 33 form cylinder form by sintered metal materials separately and arrange with relation spaced apart from each other in the axial direction.First and second radial bearings 32 and 33 are cooperated with the lubricant oil 38 of filling in the housing 37, so that form the dynamic pressure FDB, and first and second dynamic pressures produce groove 39 and 40 and are formed on rotatingshaft 31 and pass respectively on wherein first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 inner peripheral surface.
With reference to figure 6, each first and second dynamic pressure produces groove 39 and 40 and forms, and makes a pair of v-depression 39a or 40a appear at week in succession upwards on the internal surface of first radial bearing 32 or 33.Each first and second dynamic pressure produces groove 39 and 40 and forms, and makes this sense of rotation R 2 to the distolateral sensing rotatingshaft 31 of v-depression 39a or 40a.In addition, first and second dynamic pressures produce groove 39 and 40 first and second radial bearings 32 that form cylinder form and 33 axially on, form in pairs in parallel to each other at the place, upper and lower.Though notice that first and second dynamic pressures produce groove 39 and 40 and are separately positioned on first and second radial bearings 32 and 33, it is parallel to each other in pairs, the mode that dynamic pressure generation groove is set is not limited to this.For example, a pair of dynamic pressure produces groove and can be arranged in parallel to each other in the axial direction on first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 on the position, upper and lower, makes two pairs of dynamic pressures generation grooves altogether can be set.In other words, being arranged on dynamic pressure on first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 produces the quantity of groove and size and suitably selects according to the size of first radial bearing 32 and 33, length etc.To notice that first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 can be formed by brass, stainless steel or macromolecular material in addition.
In first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 that form the dynamic pressure FDB, around central axis C L when rotating continuously, the lubricant oil 38 of filling in the housing 37 are mobile in first and second dynamic pressures produce groove 39 and 40 on the direction shown in the arrow mark R2 of Fig. 6 for rotatingshaft 31 in being installed in first and second radial bearings 32 and 33.Thus, lubricant oil 38 produces dynamic pressure between the inner peripheral surface of the outer circumferential face of rotatingshaft 31 and first and second radial bearings 32 and 33, and the rotatingshaft 31 that rotates of supporting.The dynamic pressure of Chan Shenging is reduced to low-down degree with the friction factor between rotatingshaft 31 and first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 in the case, realizes the smooth rotation of rotatingshaft 31 thus.
Because first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 arrange that to be spaced from each other relation if the distance between first and second radial bearings 32 and 33 increases, the rigidity of rotatingshaft 31 can increase so in the axial direction.Therefore, the deflection of rotatingshaft 31 can be restrained, and rotating property can be increased.
Thrust-bearing 34 forms the bearing support pivot bearings of dividing 31b of supporting rotatingshaft 31, and this bearing forms arc or taper at a some place.
