Description

  The present invention relates to a brushless motor that generates power when a magnet close to an electromagnetic coil rotates.

  In recent years, brushless motors are increasingly installed in automobile internal combustion engines. As this type of brushless motor, there is known a configuration in which an electromagnetic coil is positioned and fixed in a cylindrical shape in a casing, while a magnet rotates in the cylindrical electromagnetic coil.

  A conducting wire extends from the electromagnetic coil, and the conducting wire is connected to each of a plurality of connectors protruding from the coupler through a wire. The connector is electrically connected to any one of three terminals whose outer diameter and inner diameter are different from each other, and a U-phase, a V-phase, and a W-phase are connected by terminal portions extending from each of the three terminals. A three-phase contact of the phases is configured. That is, the connector is an electrical contact of any of U phase, V phase, and W phase.

  Here, as shown in Patent Document 1, the conductive wire is wound around the wire rod in the vicinity of the connector, and the end portion is joined to the connector in a state where tension is applied.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-18345

  Recently, from the viewpoint of improving the fuel efficiency of automobiles, there is a demand for weight reduction and downsizing of mounted parts and devices. In response to this, various attempts have been made to reduce the size and weight of a brushless motor.

  However, when the brushless motor is miniaturized, it is difficult to secure a sufficient space for winding the conductive wire extending from the electromagnetic coil around the wire. On the other hand, when only the conducting wire is joined to the connector, there is a concern that the conducting wire may fall off the connector due to vibration of the internal combustion engine.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and is capable of applying a tension to the wire without winding a conductive wire extending from an electromagnetic coil while having a simple structure, and the conductive wire is a connector. An object of the present invention is to provide a brushless motor capable of wiping out the fear of falling off.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a coupler provided with a magnet held on a shaft, an electromagnetic coil close to the magnet, and a plurality of connectors for joining conductive wires extending from the electromagnetic coil. A brushless motor having
The connector protrudes from the coupler via a wire,
The wire is provided with a claw portion for locking the conducting wire.

  In this configuration, the conducting wire is locked to the claw portion in a pulled state, and then joined to the connector. That is, tension can be applied to the conducting wire without winding the conducting wire. For this reason, it is not necessary to secure a space for winding the conducting wire, so that it is possible to cope with downsizing of the brushless motor.

  And since the hook part (folding) for latching to a nail | claw part is provided in a conducting wire, this conducting wire is firmly hold | maintained at a nail | claw part. Therefore, the concern that the lead wire is dropped from the connector is eliminated.

  In addition, since only the claw portion is provided on the wire, the configuration of the brushless motor is not complicated.

  In addition, it is preferable that the corner part of the site | part which contact | connects the conducting wire in a connector is curvedly formed. Thereby, the stress which acts on a conducting wire becomes small compared with the case where it contacts a sharp corner. Therefore, it is possible to avoid breakage of the conducting wire starting from the contact point with the corner of the connector.

  According to the present invention, since the claw portion for locking the conducting wire extending from the electromagnetic coil is provided in the vicinity of the connector, it is possible to apply tension to the conducting wire without winding the conducting wire. This locking eliminates the concern that the lead wire will fall off the connector. In addition, since it is not necessary to secure a space for winding the conducting wire, the brushless motor can be reduced in size.

  Hereinafter, the brushless motor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings by exemplifying a case where the brushless motor is mounted on an internal combustion engine mounted on an automobile as a preferred embodiment.

  1 to 3 are a schematic overall perspective configuration diagram, a side longitudinal sectional view, and a rear configuration diagram, respectively, of a brushless motor 10 according to the present embodiment. The brushless motor 10 includes a holder base 12 coupled to a cylinder head (not shown), a first coupler 18 having a connector 16 electrically connected to an electromagnetic coil 14 (see FIG. 2), the electromagnetic coil 14 and the main coil. A casing 22 that houses the magnet 20 and a second coupler 26 in which the opening end of the casing 22 is closed and the three Hall ICs 24a to 24c are positioned and fixed. A shaft 28 is inserted from the holder base 12 to the tip of the casing 22.

  A hollow projecting portion 30 is formed substantially at the center of the end surface of the holder base 12 facing the cylinder head. The shaft 28 is inserted into the hollow projecting portion 30, and an oil seal 32 and a first bearing 34 are interposed in this order from the cylinder head side between the shaft 28 and the inner wall of the hollow projecting portion 30. Yes.

  The holder base 12 is provided with three screw holes 36a to 36c (see FIG. 3), while the casing 22 is also formed with three screw holes 38a to 38c (see FIG. 2). ). The holder base 12 and the casing 22 are connected to each other through screws 40 that are passed through the screw holes 36a to 36c and screwed into the screw portions of the screw holes 38a to 38c. As can be understood from FIGS. 2 and 3, in this case, each screw 40 is passed through the screw holes 36a to 36c so that each head faces the cylinder head side. Each head is located at a location slightly recessed from the end surface of the holder base 12.

  The holder base 12 further has a substantially triangular wide portion 42 (see FIGS. 1 and 3), and through holes 44a to 44c are formed in the vicinity of the curved top portion of the wide portion 42, respectively. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first coupler 18 includes a molding material 50 having an annular portion 46 and a plug portion 48 integrated with a side peripheral wall of the annular portion 46. Among these, a bridge portion 52 projects radially inward from the inner peripheral wall of the annular portion 46, and a total of 24 connectors 16 are provided at the ends of the bridge portions 52.

  That is, in the general brushless motor, the connector is provided so as to protrude outward of the coupler, whereas the connector 16 of the first coupler 18 in the brushless motor 10 according to the present embodiment is inward. It is provided to protrude. In other words, the brushless motor 10 does not have the connector 16 protruding outward from the annular portion 46. Accordingly, the plug portion 48 can be provided outside the annular portion 46, and the plug portion 48 and the annular portion 46 can be installed at the same height (see FIG. 2). The height dimension of the first coupler 18 can be reduced as compared with the coupler according to the prior art in which the plug portion must be disposed at a height position that does not interfere with the connector because of protruding outward. it can. For this reason, the brushless motor 10 can be reduced in size.

  The connector 16 slightly protrudes in the height direction with respect to the end face of the annular portion 46. As can be understood from FIG. 2, the first coupler 18 is attached so that the connector 16 of the annular portion 46 is inserted into the open end of the holder base 12.

  Three terminal portions 54a to 54c extend inside the plug portion 48 (see FIGS. 2 and 5), and these three terminal portions 54a to 54c have three phases of U phase, V phase, and W phase. Phase contacts are configured. That is, four of the connectors 16 are connected to each of the terminal portions 54a to 54c via terminals 56a to 56c (see FIG. 5) described later. Note that twelve connectors 16 are connected to the terminal 56d (see FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the bridge portion 52 is bent at approximately 90 °, and a claw portion 58 is provided in the vicinity of the bending point. The claw portion 58 is locked in a state where a conducting wire 60 extending from the electromagnetic coil 14 (see FIG. 2) is pulled. That is, tension is acting on the conducting wire 60.

  The connector 16 has a portion joined to the tip of the bridge portion 52 as a starting point, and has a substantially V-shaped shape with its approximately middle abdomen being bent by about 300 °. As shown in FIG. 7, the corners are chamfered on the surface of the connector 16 facing the conductor 60. In other words, the portion of the connector 16 that contacts the conductive wire 60 is curved, so that the stress acting on the conductive wire 60 is reduced.

  The leading end of the conducting wire 60 is bent approximately 90 ° in the vicinity of the connector 16, and then passed through the connector 16 and locked to the claw portion 58 (see FIG. 6). Thereafter, the connector 16 is crushed (see FIG. 7), and the connector 16 and the conductive wire 60 are joined to each other by electrodeposition.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the bridge portions 52 are adjacent to each other to form a bridge portion pair 62. The two bridge portions 52, 52 forming the bridge portion pair 62 protrude from the inner wall of the annular portion 46 so as to extend in parallel with each other. Therefore, when joining the connector 16 and the conducting wire 60, after electrodeposition is performed on one pair of bridge portions 62, the angle may be changed and the next bridge portion pair 62 may be joined. That is, although the number of times that electrodeposition should be performed is 24, the angle change at the time of joining needs to be performed only 12 times. As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the number of angle changes is small, the production tact of the brushless motor 10 can be shortened.

  Here, the first coupler 18 is manufactured as follows. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal 56 a provided with the terminal portion 54 a at the end and connected to the connector 16 via the bridge portion 52 in the extending direction is bent into a polygonal shape. Similarly, the terminals 56b and 56c provided with the terminal portion 54b or the terminal portion 54c are bent into a polygonal shape, and further, the terminal 56d without the terminal portion is bent into a polygonal shape, and then the terminals 56a. To 56d, the polygonal bodies are brought close to each other so that the terminal portions 54a to 54c are adjacent to each other and extend in the same direction.

  Next, the polygonal terminals 56a to 56d adjacent to each other are accommodated in the guide member 64 (see FIG. 2), and in this state, set in the mold apparatus. And the molding material 50 which has the annular part 46 and the plug part 48 is provided by supplying the molten material of resin to a metal mold apparatus, and cooling and solidifying this resin. As a result, the first coupler 18 shown in FIG. 4 is obtained.

  When the polygonal body (see FIG. 5) is provided in this way, the springback is smaller than when the terminals 56a to 56d are circular. For this reason, there exists an advantage that a dimensional accuracy becomes favorable.

  Moreover, when the polygonal bodies are brought close to each other, positional displacement is unlikely to occur. This is because if a positional shift occurs, the vertex interferes with an adjacent polygonal body. Therefore, it becomes extremely easy to insert the terminals 56a to 56d into the guide member 64. In addition, since the terminals 56a to 56d (polygonal bodies) are sealed in the molding material 50, the terminals 56a to 56d can be connected even when vibration is applied as the automobile equipped with the brushless motor 10 is operated. The occurrence of displacement is remarkably suppressed.

  That is, by forming the terminals 56a to 56d in a polygonal shape and encapsulating them in the molding material 50, the terminals 56a to 56d have excellent dimensional accuracy and are easy to handle, and the terminals 56a to 56d have extremely good earthquake resistance. Thus, it is possible to obtain the first coupler 18 that is less likely to be displaced.

  The casing 22 accommodates the electromagnetic coil 14 along the inner wall (see FIG. 2). On the other hand, a magnet holder 66 is fitted on the side wall of the shaft 28, and the main magnet 20 is held by the magnet holder 66 so as to face the electromagnetic coil 14. Accordingly, the magnet holder 66 and the main magnet 20 rotate around the shaft 28 as the shaft 28 rotates, and repeat relative position changes with respect to the electromagnetic coil 14. The magnet holder 66 is a hollow body having an open end, and the inner wall thereof is separated from the side peripheral wall of the shaft 28 at a predetermined interval.

  The shaft 28 is provided with an annular step portion 68, and a wedge member 70 is fitted to the shaft 28 so as to contact the annular step portion 68. The annular holder of the wedge member 70 is press-fitted between the inner wall of the magnet holder 66 and the side peripheral wall of the shaft 28, so that the magnet holder 66 is positioned and fixed.

  A narrow portion 74 that narrows the inner diameter of the casing 22 is formed at the end of the casing 22 on the second coupler 26 side so as to protrude radially inward. A second bearing 76 is held in the narrow portion 74.

  A tooth portion 78 such as a spline is formed at the end of the shaft 28 on the holder base 12 side. The tooth portion 78 meshes with a tooth portion of a rotating shaft (not shown) provided in the internal combustion engine including the cylinder head. On the other hand, a bottomed screw hole 80 is provided at the end on the second coupler 26 side, and the secondary magnet 84 is connected to the tip of the shaft 28 via a magnet holding screw 82 screwed into the bottomed screw hole 80. Held in the department. As can be understood from FIG. 2, the secondary magnet 84 is close to the Hall ICs 24 a to 24 c in the second coupler 26.

  Here, the polarities of the main magnet 20 and the sub magnet 84 are schematically shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is an upper plan view shown from the second coupler 26 side.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the brushless motor 10, the same polarity portions of the main magnet 20 and the submagnet 84 are similar to each other, and the phases thereof are the same. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the location of the sensor 90 that monitors the position of the polarity variation point in the sub magnet 84. Naturally, as schematically shown in FIG. 9, it is not necessary to provide an adjustment hole (such as a long hole) for adjusting the arrangement position of the sensor 90 from the outside.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, the two steps of providing the adjustment hole and adjusting the location where the sensor 90 is arranged are not necessary. Thereby, the manufacturing process of the brushless motor 10 is simplified, the production efficiency is improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  The phases of the main magnet 20 and the sub magnet 84 can be matched using the magnetizing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. This magnetizing apparatus 100 includes a pedestal 104 provided with legs 102, an extrusion cylinder 106 installed so as to extend in parallel with the legs 102, and a magnetizing device positioned and fixed on the pedestal 104. Yoke 108. A terminal box 110 is disposed in the vicinity of the magnetizing yoke 108, and the magnetizing yoke 108 is magnetized / demagnetized in accordance with ON / OFF of a switch (not shown) provided therein.

  A through hole 112 is formed in the magnetizing yoke 108. The rod 114 constituting the extrusion cylinder 106 protrudes from the pedestal 104 so as to pass through the through hole 112. The inner diameter of the magnetizing yoke 108 is narrowed by a projecting narrow portion 116 projecting radially inward downward in FIG. On the other hand, a small-diameter portion 118 is formed at the upper end of the magnetizing yoke 108 by reducing the outer diameter.

  The first coupler 18 is further attached to the shaft 28 that holds the main magnet 20 via the magnet holder 66 and holds the auxiliary magnet 84 via the magnet holding screw 82. In this state, the shaft 28 is inserted into the through hole 112 of the magnetizing yoke 108 so that the sub magnet 84 is positioned downward.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the first coupler 18 is seated on the end surface of the small diameter portion 118, the secondary magnet 84 is surrounded by the projecting narrow portion 116, and the main magnet 20 extends from above the projecting narrow portion 116 to the small diameter portion 118. It is surrounded by the part that reaches almost directly below. At this time, the distance between the main magnet 20 and the inner wall of the magnetizing yoke 108 and the distance between the sub magnet 84 and the inner wall of the magnetizing yoke 108 (projecting narrow portion 116) are substantially the same.

  Further, the magnetizing yoke 108 is magnetized as the switch of the terminal box 110 is turned on, and as a result, both the main magnet 20 and the sub magnet 84 are magnetized simultaneously. The distance between the main magnet 20 and the inner wall of the magnetizing yoke 108 is substantially the same as the distance between the sub magnet 84 and the inner wall of the magnetizing yoke 108 (projecting narrow portion 116). The magnet 84 is magnetized so as to develop substantially the same magnetic force.

  Further, in this case, the magnetizing yoke 108 is integrally formed from the projecting narrow portion 116 to the small diameter portion 118. Therefore, a magnetic field in the same direction is formed in the magnetizing yoke 108 from the protruding narrow portion 116 to the small diameter portion 118. For this reason, the main magnet 20 and the sub-magnet 84 have polarities of the same phase (see FIG. 8).

  In short, the main magnet 20 and the sub-magnet 84 can be magnetized simultaneously using the same magnetizing yoke 108, whereby the main magnet 20 and the sub-magnet 84 can be provided with the same phase polarity. Thereby, as described above, the two steps of providing the adjustment hole and adjusting the position where the sensor 90 is arranged are not necessary, and the production efficiency of the brushless motor 10 is improved. In addition, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

  After the magnetization of the main magnet 20 and the sub magnet 84 is completed, the switch is turned off, and the rod 114 of the push-out cylinder 106 moves forward. Accordingly, the shaft 28 is pressed, and the shaft 28 is taken out from the through hole 112 of the magnetizing yoke 108.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the second coupler 26 includes a disk portion 130 that closes the opening end portion of the casing 22, and a plug portion 132 that is integrated with a side peripheral wall of the disk portion 130. Among these, a circular concave portion 134 is formed in the disc portion 130, and the Hall ICs 24a to 24c are provided on the ceiling surface of the circular concave portion 134 in a state of being sealed in resin.

  Three screw seats 136 that are spaced apart from each other at substantially equal intervals protrude from the side wall of the disk portion 130, and screws 140 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that are passed through the through holes 138 of the screw seat 136. The second coupler 26 is fitted into the casing 22 by being screwed into a screwing hole 142 provided on the end surface of the casing 22.

  In the plug portion 132, six terminal portions 146a to 146f extending integrally from the bus bar 144 (see FIG. 12A) and electrically connected to any of the Hall ICs 24a to 24c protrude. In other words, the lead terminals of the Hall ICs 24 a to 24 c are joined on the bus bar 144.

  Here, the 2nd coupler 26 is produced through the process shown to FIG. 12A-FIG. 12C. First, the bus bar 144 shown in FIG. 12A is prepared. The bus bar 144 extends from each of an arc portion 148 that is curved in an arc shape, six straight portions 150a to 150f that linearly extend from the end of the arc portion 148, and straight portions 150a to 150f. The terminal portions 146a to 146f are included. A mount portion 154 for joining the Hall ICs 24a to 24c to the capacitor 152 and the like is provided on the arc portion 148. In this case, the first support frame 156 is bridged so as to connect the mount portions 154 to each other. On the other hand, the straight portions 150a to 150f are integrally connected via a second support frame 158 extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the straight portions 150a to 150f.

  And tab part 160a, 160b is formed in the side surface in the linear part 150a, 150f of both ends, and protrudes outward. A through hole 162 is provided in each of the tab portions 160a and 160b.

  Next, lead terminals such as Hall ICs 24a to 24c or capacitors 152 sealed in an encapsulating resin material 163 such as an epoxy resin are joined to predetermined positions of the mount portion 154 in the bus bar 144. In this case, three Hall ICs 24 a to 24 c are installed on the mount portion 154.

  Next, the bus bar 144 is set in the mold apparatus. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12A, positioning pins 164a and 164b are passed through the through holes 162 of the tab portions 160a and 160b, respectively. As a result, the bus bar 144 is firmly positioned and fixed.

  In this state, molten resin (for example, polypropylene sulfide resin) is supplied to the mold apparatus. As described above, since the bus bar 144 is firmly positioned and fixed, it is avoided that the bus bar 144 is displaced due to the pressing force of the supplied melt. Therefore, the melt can be supplied only to a predetermined position of the bus bar 144.

  When the melt is cooled and solidified after a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 12B, the resin is interposed between the mount portions 154 and between the straight portions 150a to 150f. Next, the resin in the vicinity of the lead terminals in the Hall ICs 24a to 24c or the capacitor 152 is removed, and unnecessary portions such as the first support frame 156 and the second support frame 158 are cut from the bus bar 144 as shown in FIG. 12C. . Thereby, Hall IC24a-24c is mutually insulated.

  Further, the bus bar 144 is set in a mold apparatus different from the mold apparatus. Also at this time, as shown in FIG. 12C, the positioning pins 166a and 166b are respectively passed through the through holes 162 of the tab portions 160a and 160b, so that the bus bar 144 is firmly positioned and fixed.

  In this state, a melt of resin (for example, polypropylene sulfide resin) is supplied to the mold apparatus. Of course, in this case as well, it is avoided that the bus bar 144 pressed by the melt is displaced. This is because the bus bar 144 is firmly positioned and fixed as described above.

  Then, if the melt is cooled and solidified, a housing including a disk portion 130 in which a bus bar 144 is sealed with resin, a plug portion 132 surrounding the terminal portions 146a to 146f, and the like is formed. The second coupler 26 shown is obtained.

  In this way, elements such as Hall ICs 24a to 24c are first joined to the bus bar 144, and then primary molding for closing the hole of the bus bar 144 and secondary molding for providing the disk portion 130 and the plug portion 132 are performed. By doing so, the second coupler 26 in which each element is positioned and fixed with high precision can be produced. In this embodiment, since the bus bar 144 is positioned and fixed using the positioning pins 164a, 164b, 166a, and 166b in both the primary molding and the secondary molding, the positional accuracy of the element is further improved. Can do.

  In the second coupler 26, a convex portion 168 is formed in the vicinity of the plug portion 132 of the disc portion 130. The convex portion 168 is inserted into a concave portion (not shown) provided on the end surface of the casing 22, whereby the second coupler 26 is positioned and fixed more firmly.

  Note that reference numerals 170, 172, and 174 in FIG. 2 indicate O-rings as sealing materials.

  The brushless motor 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above operates as follows.

  The brushless motor 10 is attached to the internal combustion engine such that the holder base 12 faces the cylinder head. At this time, screws (not shown) are passed through through holes 44a to 44c (see FIG. 1) provided in the wide portion 42 of the holder base 12, and each of the screws is screwed into a screw hole of the cylinder head. And the tooth part 78 (refer FIG. 2) of the shaft 28 is meshed | engaged with the tooth | gear part of the rotating shaft which is provided in the internal combustion engine (not shown).

  When the internal combustion engine is operated while the automobile is running, the internal combustion engine vibrates. As a result, vibration is also applied to the brushless motor 10.

  As described above, the screw 40 is screwed so that the head portion faces the cylinder head. The screw holes 36a to 36c are closed by the cylinder head. For this reason, even if the screw 40 is loosened due to the addition of vibration over a long period of time, the screw 40 does not fall off the holder base 12.

  In other words, the connection between the holder base 12 and the casing 22 is reliably maintained over a long period of time. That is, the operational reliability of the brushless motor 10 over a long period is ensured.

  Further, since the head of the screw 40 faces the cylinder head side, it is not necessary to project the screw seat on the casing 22 side. For this reason, it is avoided that the dimension of the width direction of the casing 22 increases.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the conducting wire 60 of the electromagnetic coil 14 is locked to the claw portion 58 in the vicinity of the connector 16 of the first coupler 18 in a state where tension is applied. For this reason, even if the internal combustion engine vibrates, it is difficult for the lead wire 60 to be detached from the connector 16.

  In addition, since chamfering is applied to the corner of the surface of the connector 16 facing the conductor 60 (see FIG. 7), the stress acting on the conductor 60 is small. For this reason, it is avoided that the conducting wire 60 breaks from the contact point with the corner of the connector 16 as a starting point.

  In addition to the fact that the phases of the same polarity parts of the main magnet 20 and the sub-magnet 84 coincide with each other and the Hall ICs 24a to 24c are accurately placed at predetermined positions of the second coupler 26 as described above, Since the second coupler 26 is firmly positioned and fixed by inserting the convex portion in the vicinity of the plug portion 132 of the two coupler 26 into the concave portion of the end face of the casing 22, the operational reliability of the brushless motor 10 is ensured over a long period of time. The

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to configure the brushless motor 10 that is small and excellent in reliability. Further, since the brushless motor 10 is downsized, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom of layout of the internal combustion engine is expanded.

  Moreover, since the magnet holder 66 is a hollow body, the driving force for rotating the shaft 28 can be reduced. As a result, power for operating the brushless motor 10 can be saved.

  In addition, since the magnet holder 66 is a hollow body and has a low weight, the shaft 28 in a stopped state can be rotated in a short time. On the other hand, since the magnet holder 66 is low in weight, inertia when the rotation of the shaft 28 is stopped, that is, so-called inertia is reduced. In other words, the rotation of the shaft 28 can be stopped in a short time.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to configure the brushless motor 10 with low power consumption and good response speed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the brushless motor 10 mounted on an automobile is described as an example. However, the application of the brushless motor 10 is not particularly limited thereto.
