Detailed Description

The present invention relates to the patent application of Japanese patent application 2018-184383, filed by the Japanese patent office on 28.9.2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the motor device of the present invention will be described.

(1) Schematic structure of motor device 1 of the embodiment

Hereinafter, a schematic configuration of the motor device 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a motor device 1 according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the motor device 1 of the embodiment as viewed from the other side. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the motor device 1 of the embodiment. Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of main components of the motor device 1 according to the embodiment.

In the following description, "axial direction" means the axial direction of the sleeve 9 of the motor device 1. The axial direction is equivalent to the rotation axis (axis CTR of fig. 3) of the shaft 5 as the rotation axis of the motor.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, an exemplary motor device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a circuit board 3, a yoke 4, a shaft 5, a rotor 6, a cover 2 covering the rotor 6, and a stator 8, and rotates the rotor 6 by a DC brushless motor.

The cover 2 is made of, for example, resin and has a bottomed rectangular parallelepiped shape. As shown in fig. 4, a sleeve 9 (an example of a cylindrical member) is attached to the cover 2. The sleeve 9 is made of metal such as iron or aluminum, for example, and is disposed in a hole provided at the center of the circular bottom of the cover 2. The cover 2 and the sleeve 9 are integrated by insert molding.

The circuit board 3 is electrically connected to a coil (winding) 83 of the stator 8 via a conductive pin 84 (an example of a conductive member; see fig. 3 and 4), and a control circuit (not shown) is mounted on the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 supplies current to the coil 83.

As shown in fig. 4, the circuit board 3 has a 1 st surface 3a which is a surface on the yoke 4 side and a 2 nd surface 3b which is a surface on the cover 2 side, and the 2 nd surface 3b is a surface on the back side of the 1 st surface 3 a. The 1 st surface 3a is a main mounting surface on which main circuit components are mounted.

An inner hole 3h is formed near the center of the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 and the sleeve 9 are coupled by pressing the inner hole 3h into the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 9.

The circuit board 3 has 2 through holes 32. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the screw 22 is fastened to the cover 2 through the through hole 32, thereby restricting displacement of the circuit board 3 with respect to the circumferential direction of the cover 2. The cover 2 is disposed to face a 2 nd surface 3b of the circuit board 3 opposite to the 1 st surface 3a, and covers the 2 nd surface 3b of the circuit board 3.

As shown in fig. 4, the cover 2 has 2 openings 24, and the circuit board 3 has 2 through holes 34. As described later, in the motor device 1 of the present embodiment, the other end of the conductive pin 84 having one end fixed to the coil 83 of the stator 8 is soldered to the 2 nd surface 3b (the surface on the cover 2 side) of the circuit board 3 through the through hole 34 of the circuit board 3. The opening 24 of the cover 2 is provided for efficiently performing the welding work of the conduction pin 84.

As shown in fig. 3, the shaft 5 extends in the axial direction of the motor device 1. One end of the shaft 5 is fixed to the support portion 41. The support portion 41 is made of, for example, metal, and the yoke 4 and the support portion 41 are joined by pressure-bonding the support portion 41. The support portion 41 is pressed against the inner surface (left direction in fig. 3) of the yoke 4 in the axial direction in fig. 3 by the biasing force of the coil spring 53 provided between the support portion and the bearing 52.

One end of the shaft 5 is press-fitted into the support portion 41, and the other end of the shaft 5 is fixed to the rotating body 6. The shaft 5 penetrates the inside of the sleeve 9, and is supported by a bearing 51 and a bearing 52 at one end side and the other end side in the axial direction of the sleeve 9, respectively.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the yoke 4 has a substantially annular shape. A magnet 7 (see fig. 3) is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the yoke 4. The magnets 7 are magnetized such that N poles and S poles are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. The yoke 4 is made of a magnetic material and prevents a magnetic field formed by the magnet 7 from leaking to the outside of the magnet 7.

As shown in fig. 3, the stator 8 is disposed to face the 1 st surface 3a of the circuit board 3, and includes a stator core 81, an insulating member 82 attached to the stator core 81, and a coil 83 formed of a conductive wire wound around the stator core 81 with the insulating member 82 interposed therebetween.

In the present embodiment, the magnet 7 and the shaft 5 constitute a rotor. The motor of the present embodiment is an outer rotor type DC brushless motor having a rotor radially outside the stator 8.

(2) Structure of stator 8 of the embodiment

Next, the structure of the stator 8 will be described in further detail with reference to fig. 5 to 9.

Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the stator 8 excluding the coil 83. Fig. 6 is a plan view of a steel plate constituting a stator core 81 of the motor device 1. Fig. 7 is an enlarged front view of the 1 st insulator 82A as viewed from the yoke 4 side in the axial direction. Fig. 8 is an enlarged front view of the 2 nd insulator 82B as viewed from the rotary body 6 side in the axial direction. Fig. 9 is an enlarged front view of the stator 8 (a view when viewed from the yoke 4 side).

Fig. 5 shows a stator core 81, an insulating member 82 (1

st insulator

82A, 2 nd insulator 82B), and a conduction pin 84. The insulating member 82 is made of resin, and is manufactured by injection molding, for example.

As shown in fig. 5, the stator core 81 is a laminated body in which a plurality of magnetic steel plates are laminated and fixed in the axial direction (the left-right direction in fig. 3), and has a plurality of teeth 811. In the example of the present embodiment, teeth 811 are provided at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction of stator core 81.

An inner hole 81h is formed at a central portion of the stator core 81. The inner circumferential surface 81a of the inner hole 81h is press-fitted into the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 9 when the stator 8 is coupled to the sleeve 9. That is, the stator core 81 is attached to the sleeve 9 such that the inner circumferential surface 81a of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81 contacts the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 9.

Fig. 6 shows 2 kinds of magnetic steel plates 81p1 and 81p2 constituting the stator core 81. The magnetic steel plates 81p1 and 81p2 share the common feature that teeth 811p are provided at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction and an inner hole 81ph is formed in the center, but the inner hole 81ph has a different circumferential edge with or without a notch 81 pd. That is, although the notch 81pd is formed in the magnetic steel plate 81p1 shown in fig. 6 (a) at the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81ph, the notch 81pd is not formed in the magnetic steel plate 81p2 shown in fig. 6 (b) at the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81 ph.

As shown in fig. 5, in the stator core 81, the 1 st magnetic steel plate 81p2 having no notch 81pd formed therein is disposed on the 1 st insulator 82A side, and the remaining magnetic steel plate 81p1 having the notch 81pd formed therein is disposed on the 2 nd insulator 82B side. For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the stator core 81 is formed by laminating 6 magnetic steel plates, 1 magnetic steel plate 81p2 on the 1 st insulator 82A side and 5 magnetic steel plates 81p1 on the 2 nd insulator 82B side are laminated together.

As shown in fig. 5, the insulating member 82 is made of an insulating material such as rubber or resin, and is configured by a 1 st insulator 82A and a 2 nd insulator 82B sandwiching the stator core 81 from both sides to insulate the coil 83 and the teeth 811. The 1 st insulator 82A and the 2 nd insulator 82B have an inner hole 82Ah and an inner hole 82Bh for insertion of the sleeve 9.

As shown in fig. 5 and 7, the 1 st insulator 82A has tooth cover portions 821A at 90-degree intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner hole 82Ah, corresponding to the teeth 811 of the stator core 81. The 1 st insulator 82A has an inner circumferential wall 823A extending in the axial direction at the circumferential edge of the inner hole 82 Ah. That is, the inner circumferential wall 823A extends in the axial direction on the side opposite to the side where the stator core 81 is provided, with reference to the tooth cover portion 821A. Wall 822A extends in the axial direction on the side where stator core 81 is provided with reference to tooth cover 821A.

As shown in fig. 5 and 8, the 2 nd insulator 82B has tooth cover portions 821B at 90-degree intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner hole 82Bh so as to correspond to the teeth 811 of the stator core 81. The 2 nd insulator 82B has a cylindrical portion 823B extending in the axial direction at the periphery of the inner hole 82 Bh. That is, the cylindrical portion 823B extends in the axial direction on the side opposite to the side where the stator core 81 is provided, with respect to the tooth cover portion 821B. Wall 822B extends in the axial direction on the side where stator core 81 is provided with reference to tooth cover 821B.

As described above, the 1 st insulator 82A and the 2 nd insulator 82B each have the inner circumferential wall 823A and the cylindrical portion 823B that extend along the circumferential edge of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81 and in the axial direction of the sleeve 9 into which the stator 8 is press-fitted, and that isolate the teeth 811 of the stator core 81 from the coil 83. By providing the inner circumferential wall 823A and the cylindrical portion 823B, insulation between the coil 83 and the teeth 811 is reliably performed.

Referring again to fig. 5 and 7, a notch 823Ah is formed in the inner peripheral wall 823A of the 1 st insulator 82A. As described later, the notch 823Ah is provided to expose the surface of the stator core 81 when the stator 8 is assembled, and to facilitate the press-fitting operation of the stator 8 into the sleeve 9. That is, the 1 st insulator 82A has a notch 823Ah at the peripheral edge of the inner hole 82Ah corresponding to the exposed surface of the stator core 81.

Further, in the notch portion 823Ah, a projection 823Aj is provided radially outward from the inner circumferential wall 823A. Projection 823Aj is provided to reliably insulate coil 83 from tooth 811 in notch 823 Ah.

Referring to fig. 5 and 8, the 2 nd insulator 82B has a cylindrical portion 824B extending in the axial direction and through which the conduction pin 84 passes. The cylindrical portion 824B is supported by the wall portion 822B formed in the axial direction, whereby the strength of the cylindrical portion 824B can be sufficiently ensured.

In addition, no notch portion is provided in the cylindrical portion 823B of the 2 nd insulator 82B.

After the stator core 81 is sandwiched between the 1 st insulator 82A and the 2 nd insulator 82B from both sides, a wire is wound around the tooth cover portions 821A, the teeth 811, and the tooth cover portions 821B to form the coil 83, thereby assembling the stator 8 as shown in fig. 9.

After the stator 8 is assembled, as shown in fig. 5, the conducting pin 84 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 824B, and one end of the conducting pin 84 and one end of the coil 83 are welded together.

(3) Pressing in of stator 8 relative to sleeve 9

Next, the press-fitting of the stator 8 into the sleeve 9 when the motor device 1 of the present embodiment is assembled will be described with reference to fig. 9 to 11.

Fig. 10 is a view of the structure of the motor device 1 according to the present embodiment in an assembled state after the stator 8 is press-fitted into the sleeve 9, as viewed from the 1 st surface 3a side of the circuit board 3 in the axial direction. In assembling the motor device 1 of the present embodiment, the circuit board 3 is fixed to the cover 2 before the stator 8 is press-fitted into the sleeve 9. Fig. 11 is an enlarged sectional view of the assembled structure of fig. 10.

As shown in fig. 11, when the stator 8 is pressed into the sleeve 9, the following procedure is performed: the inner circumferential surface 81a of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81 of the stator 8 is brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface 9a of the sleeve 9 in the axial direction (the press-fitting direction D from the 1 st surface 3a toward the 2 nd surface 3b of the circuit board 3). The cover 2 is fixed to the apparatus at the time of press-fitting, and the stator 8 is press-fitted by a predetermined amount in the press-fitting direction by a press-fitting jig.

Further, as described above, since the one end of the conducting pin 84 is welded to the coil 83 at the time of press-fitting the stator 8, the worker can avoid erroneous press-fitting of the stator 8 in the direction of the stator 8 by confirming whether or not the end of the conducting pin 84 is welded.

In the present embodiment, since a part of the stator core 81 is exposed when the stator 8 is press-fitted by the press-fitting jig, the stator 8 can be reliably press-fitted into the sleeve 9 by pressing the jig so as to be in contact with the exposed surface of the stator core 81.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 9, since the stator core 81 of the stator 8 has an exposed surface exposed when viewed from the pressing jig side in the axial direction of the sleeve 9, the inner peripheral surface 81a of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81 can be reliably pressed into the outer peripheral surface 9a of the sleeve 9 by bringing the pressing jig into contact with the exposed surface and pressing in the axial direction (direction toward the back side of the paper surface in fig. 9).

The exposed surface of the stator core 81 shown in fig. 9 includes a peripheral edge portion 811a of the surface of the stator core 81 along the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81. Since the peripheral edge portion 811a of the inner hole 81h in the exposed surface is located on the surface of the stator core 81 at the position closest to the outer peripheral surface 9a of the sleeve 9 when the stator 8 is press-fitted into the sleeve 9, the press-fitting jig is brought into contact with the peripheral edge portion 811a, whereby the stator 8 can be press-fitted more reliably.

As described with reference to fig. 7, a notch 823Ah is formed in the inner peripheral wall 823A of the 1 st insulator 82A. Therefore, after the 1 st insulator 82A is assembled to the stator core 81, as shown in fig. 9, a protruding region 811p of an exposed surface of the stator core 81 exposed through the notch 823Ah is formed. In the present embodiment, the protruding region 811p is a region protruding from the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81 in the radial direction of the stator core 81.

If the inner peripheral wall 823A of the 1 st insulator 82A is provided outside the state shown in fig. 7, the peripheral edge region 811a of the exposed surface can be enlarged. However, as shown in fig. 3, the outer shape of the entire stator 8 cannot be enlarged to secure a gap between the magnets 7, and therefore, the peripheral edge portion 811a of the enlarged exposed surface sacrifices the radial dimension of the coil 83 and the teeth 811, thereby affecting the performance of the motor. Therefore, the notch 823Ah is provided partially in the circumferential direction in the inner circumferential wall 823A of the 1 st insulator 82A, and thereby the protruding region 811p of the exposed surface of the stator core 81 is provided. Therefore, the effective exposure area can be ensured without affecting the performance of the motor.

In the example of the present embodiment, 4 protruding regions 811p of exposed surfaces are formed along the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81. The stator 8 is press-fitted in the press-fitting direction D by using a press-fitting jig that simultaneously contacts the 4 protruding regions 811p of the exposed surface. Since the 4-part protruding regions 811p are located relatively close to the outer peripheral surface 9a of the sleeve 9, the stator 8 can be reliably press-fitted.

In the example of the present embodiment, the protruding regions 811p of the exposed surface of the stator core 81 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the inner hole 81h of the stator core 81. In this example, the protruding regions 811p of the exposed surface of the stator core 81 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction at 4 locations between adjacent teeth 811 of the stator core 81. That is, in fig. 9, since the protruding region 811p is provided toward the portion where the coil 83 is not wound, the coil 83 has little influence on the arrangement of the stator 8.

As described with reference to fig. 7, the 1 st insulator 82A is provided with a projection 823Aj radially outward from the inner circumferential wall 823A at the notch 823 Ah. Therefore, in the state where the stator 8 is assembled, as shown in fig. 9, the projection 823Aj of the 1 st insulator 82A is configured to surround at least a part of the projection region 811p of the exposed surface of the stator core 81. Therefore, the teeth 811 in the protruding region 811p and the coil 83 can be reliably insulated from each other.

In addition, the cylindrical portion 823B of the 2 nd insulator 82B is not provided with a notch portion, unlike the inner circumferential wall 823A of the 1 st insulator 82A. Therefore, when the stator 8 is viewed from the 2 nd insulator 82B side in a state where the stator 8 is assembled, a protruding region that protrudes radially outward from the inner hole 81h is not formed on the exposed surface of the stator core 81. That is, the protruding region is provided only on the 1 st insulator 82A side surface of the stator core 81 in the axial direction of the sleeve 9, and is not provided on the 2 nd insulator 82B side surface of the stator core 81 in the axial direction of the sleeve 9. Therefore, by confirming the exposed surfaces of the stator cores 81 on both sides of the stator 8, it is possible to prevent the worker from erroneously assembling the stator 8 in the direction of wrong insertion when the worker pushes the stator 8 into the sleeve 9.

(4) Sealing during pressing of the stator 8 into the sleeve 9

When the stator 8 is press-fitted into the sleeve 9, chips (cutting chips) may be generated due to strong friction between the inner circumferential surface of the stator 8 and the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 9. In this case, when the generated chips move to the outside of the stator core 81, unexpected problems may occur. Therefore, in the motor device 1 of the present embodiment, the chips that can be generated during press-fitting are configured so as not to move outside the stator core 81.

Fig. 12 shows a cross-sectional view of the stator and the sleeve after pressing the stator into the sleeve. In fig. 12, the coil 83 is not shown.

As shown in fig. 12, among the plurality of magnetic steel plates constituting the stator core 81, a plurality of magnetic steel plates 81p1 are disposed on the 2 nd insulator 82B side (an example of the 1 st side) which is one end side in the axial direction of the stator core 81, and one magnetic steel plate 81p2 is disposed on the 1 st insulator 82A side (an example of the 2 nd side) which is the other end side in the axial direction. When the stator 8 is press-fitted into the sleeve 9, the press-fitting is performed along the press-fitting direction D of fig. 12.

As shown in fig. 6, in the plurality of magnetic steel plates 81p1 on the 2 nd insulator 82B side, notches 81pd are formed at the same position at the peripheral edge of the inner hole 81ph, thereby forming a recessed portion 81d as a whole. In the step of winding the coil 83, the recess 81d formed when a plurality of magnetic steel sheets are stacked is provided in a rod-shaped jig, not shown, and used for positioning the stator core 81. Although the 1 st magnetic steel plate 81p2 on the 1 st insulator 82A side has no notch 81pd, the height of the rod-shaped jig is lower than the height of the stack of the plurality of magnetic steel plates 81p1, and the magnetic steel plates 81p2 do not interfere with positioning.

In the present embodiment, the 1 st magnetic steel plate 81p2 on the 1 st insulator 82A side is sealed so that chips generated when the stator 8 is pressed into the sleeve 9 do not move to the outside. If all the magnetic steel plates have the notches 81pd, chips generated by strong friction between the inner peripheral surface of the stator 8 and the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 9 are discharged to the outside of the yoke 4 side through the notches of the magnetic steel plates. In contrast, in the motor device 1 of the present embodiment, the magnetic steel plate 81p2 having no notch 81pd is disposed on the 1 st insulator 82A side, and thus the generated chips are sealed by the magnetic steel plate 81p 2.

Therefore, according to the motor device 1 of the present embodiment, the sealing performance of the chips generated by press-fitting the stator into the cylindrical member can be improved, and the possibility of unexpected defects caused by the chips can be reduced.

(5) Application example of the motor device 1 of the present embodiment

Next, as an application example of the motor device 1 of the present embodiment described above, a schematic description will be given of a vehicle headlamp capable of mounting the motor device 1 of the present embodiment with reference to fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a horizontal sectional view of the vehicle headlamp. The vehicle headlamp 10 shown in fig. 13 is a left-side headlamp mounted on the left side of the front end of the automobile, and has the same structure as the right-side headlamp except for being bilaterally symmetrical. Therefore, the left vehicle headlamp 10 will be described in detail below, and the right vehicle headlamp will not be described.

As shown in fig. 13, the vehicle headlamp 10 includes a lamp body 12, and the lamp body 12 has a recess that opens toward the front. The front surface opening of the lamp body 12 is covered with a transparent front cover 14 to form a lamp chamber 16. The lamp chamber 16 functions as a space for accommodating the lamp unit 18.

The lamp unit 18 is a unit using an ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) technique of a leaf scanning system, and is configured to emit so-called variable high Beam. The lamp unit 18 has an optical unit 20 and a projection lens 27. The optical unit 20 has a rotating reflector 60 and a light source 26. The projection lens 27 is, for example, a convex lens. The shape of the convex lens may be appropriately selected according to the required light distribution characteristics such as the light distribution pattern and the illuminance distribution, and an aspherical lens or a free-form lens may be used. Further, an extension reflector 23 is provided around the projection lens 27.

The rotating reflector 60 is constituted by: the motor 30 serving as a driving source reflects light emitted from the light source 26 while rotating the blade 60b in one direction about the rotation axis R, and forms a light distribution pattern by scanning the reflected light. The blade 60b has an annular reflection region 60a, and the annular reflection region 60a is configured to reflect light emitted from the light source 26 while rotating, thereby forming a desired light distribution pattern.

The blade 60b of the rotating mirror 60 is shaped so that the 2 nd order light source by the reflected light source 26 is formed in the vicinity of the focal point of the projection lens 27. The blade 60b has a twisted shape such that the angle formed by the optical axis Ax and the reflecting surface changes in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis R. This enables scanning of light (light source image) using the light source 26.

The light source 26 is preferably a light source capable of controlling on/off in a short time, and is preferably a semiconductor light emitting element such as an LED, an LD, or an EL element.

The motor 30 is mounted on the substrate 92. The substrate 92 is mounted on and fixed to a mounting surface 94a of the heat sink 94. The rotation axis R of the rotary mirror 60 is inclined with respect to the optical axis Ax or the vehicle front direction in a state where the substrate 92 is mounted on the mounting surface 94 a.

The light source 26 is mounted on the substrate 36. In addition, a lens 38 as a primary optical system is provided in the light exit direction of the light source 26 and between the rotating reflector 60. The lens 38 condenses light emitted from the light source 26 so that the light emitted from the light source 26 is directed toward the reflection region 60a of the rotating reflector 60. The substrate 36 is mounted on the heat sink 40. The heat sink 94 and the heat sink 40 are fixed to the metal plate-like support member 42. The lamp unit 18 is supported via the support member 42 to be tiltable with respect to the lamp body 12 by a unit using an adjustment screw 44 and a nut 46.
