DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a motor in which a bearing holder is fixed in a bearing holder insertion hole of a motor board.
And a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fixing technique for improving the fixing strength of a bearing holder in a bearing holder insertion hole.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A motor in which a rotor is rotatably supported by a motor board is fixed to a motor through a bearing holder insertion hole formed in the motor board through a bearing holder, and a rotating shaft is supported by a bearing in the bearing holder. It has become. Here, when the bearing holder is fixed to the motor substrate, there is a method of fixing the bearing holder by screwing so that the flange portion of the bearing holder is sandwiched between the stator core and the motor substrate. However, this structure not only requires much time for screwing work, but also requires management of the tightening torque of the screws.

Therefore, in order to reduce the number of assembling steps and reduce the manufacturing cost of the motor, there is also a method of fixing the bearing holder to the motor substrate by using caulking of the bearing holder and the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole. Has been adopted. That is,
As shown in FIG. 2B, after the bearing holder 30 having a cylindrical shape as a whole is inserted into a circular bearing holder insertion hole 111A opened in the motor board 10A as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole 111A and the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30 are crimped. As a result, the caulked portion of the bearing holder 30 is overlaid on the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole 111A from above and below.
0 can be fixed to the motor substrate 10A.

[0004]

However, in the conventional structure in which the bearing holder 30 having a cylindrical shape and the circular bearing holder insertion hole 111A are crimped, the bearing holder 30 is displaced in the thrust direction. Even if this can be prevented, the force that restricts the bearing holder 30 from rotating in the circumferential direction is small. For this reason, in the conventional bearing holder fixing structure, there is a problem that the bearing holder 30 is likely to wobble, for example, the bearing holder 30 is rotated with the rotation of the rotating shaft.

Therefore, a countermeasure can be considered in which a notch is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole 111A of the motor board 10A, and a projection that engages with the notch is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30. However, it is difficult to form the bearing holder 30 having such projections by lace processing. In the case of casting, the bearing holder 30 having the projections can be formed, but the shape of the mold becomes complicated, so that the manufacturing cost of the motor cannot be reduced.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing the structure of a motor to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the motor 1 has a motor substrate 10, a cylindrical bearing holder 30 fixed to the motor substrate 10, and a winding 22 fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30. Stator core 21 and bearing holder 30
, A rotating shaft 40 rotatably supported by the bearing 42, a cup-shaped rotor case 50 fixed to the rotating shaft 40, and a rotor case 50.
And a rotor magnet 60 fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rotor core and opposed to the stator core 21. On the surface of the motor substrate 10, the Hall element 41 is disposed at a position facing the rotor magnet 60, and the rotor magnet 60,
The rotation of the rotor 3 composed of the rotor case 50 and the rotating shaft 40 is magnetically detected.

Here, the bearing holder 30 and the motor substrate 10
Are all made of metal.

In the motor 1 having this configuration, the bearing holder 30 is formed in the bearing holder insertion hole 1 formed in the motor substrate 10.
1 and is fixed to the motor substrate 10 by partially caulking an engagement portion 31 with the motor substrate 10 on the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30 as described later. When the bearing holder 30 is crimped and fixed to the motor substrate 10, the number of assembly steps is reduced as compared with the case where the bearing holder 30 is fixed with screws, so that the cost of the motor 1 can be reduced.

Here, since the bearing holder 30 has a cylindrical shape, it is restricted that the bearing holder 30 is rotated in the circumferential direction only by caulking with the circular bearing holder insertion hole as in the related art. Power is small.

Therefore, in the present invention, the fixing strength of the bearing holder 30 is increased by configuring the structure of the fixing portion of the bearing holder 30 as follows.

FIG. 2A is a plan view showing the motor board 10. As shown in this figure, the bearing holder insertion hole 11 formed in the motor substrate 10 has a circular shape as a whole, and a circular hole of a size corresponding to the engagement portion 31 in the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30. 111, and three semicircular notches 112 cut at equal angular intervals from the inner peripheral edge of the circular hole 111.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
The bearing holder 30 has a cylindrical shape as a whole, as in the related art, and has an engagement portion 3 between the cylindrical body 32 and the motor substrate 10.
1 are constituted. The engaging portion 31 is formed to have a larger diameter than the cylindrical body portion 32, and a lower half portion of the engaging portion 31 is a flange 311 that protrudes outward. The upper half of the engaging portion 31 is an annular protrusion 312 that protrudes in the axial direction from the upper surface of the flange 311. The bearing holder 30 configured as described above is inserted into the bearing holder insertion hole 11 such that the upper surface portion 311a of the flange 311 abuts on the back surface of the motor board 10, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. Tightening is performed.

FIG. 3A is a plan view schematically showing a state in which the bearing holder 30 is fixed to the motor substrate 10. As shown in this figure, in the present embodiment, among the engagement portions 31 of the bearing holder 30, three portions corresponding to the notches 112 of the bearing holder insertion holes 11 are used as first crimping portions 310a, and the annular protrusion 312 is formed. Is crimped so that is partially bent outward. The first swaged portion 310a thus processed
Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the cross section XX ′ of the annular projection 312 is in a state in which the crimped portion of the annular projection 312 has cut into the inside of the notch 112.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the notch 112 in the engagement portion 31 of the bearing holder 30 is used.
In addition to the portion corresponding to, the three portions corresponding to the circular holes 111 are used as the second caulking portions 310b, and caulking is performed so that the annular protrusion 312 is partially bent outward. As shown in FIG. 3C, the cross-section YY ′ of the second caulked portion 310b processed as described above is formed into an annular protrusion 312.
Of these, the crimped portion covers the upper surface of the motor substrate 10, so that the motor substrate 10 is sandwiched between the flange 311 and the annular protrusion 312.

In the motor 1 thus caulked, the cylindrical bearing holder 30 is fixed to the motor substrate 10 by caulking with the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole 11, but the bearing holder is not fixed. A notch 112 is formed in the inner peripheral edge of the insertion hole 11, and the first caulking portion 310 a on the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder 30 performed at a position corresponding to the notch cuts into the notch 112. In. Therefore, rotation of the bearing holder 30 in the circumferential direction is controlled by the notch 112.
Therefore, even if the force when the rotor rotates is transmitted to the bearing holder 30, the bearing holder 30 does not shake. In addition, the manufacturing cost of the motor 1 does not increase because it is only necessary to change the shape of the bearing holder insertion hole 11 and specify the crimping position at a predetermined position.

Further, in the present invention, the first caulking portion 310 is provided.
When forming a, caulking is also performed on portions other than the portion corresponding to the notch 112. In the second caulked portion 310b formed by this processing, the bearing holder 30 sandwiches the motor substrate 10 from above and below, so that the bearing holder 30 can be reliably prevented from shifting in the thrust direction. Moreover, the first and second caulking portions 310a, 310
Since 10b is formed simultaneously, the manufacturing cost does not increase.

It should be noted that the number of the notches 112 formed in the bearing holder insertion hole 11 and the number of the first caulking portions 310a corresponding thereto are not limited to three.
Further, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole 11 and the bearing holder 30 are partially swaged, but the swaging process is performed over the entire circumference of the bearing holder insertion hole 11 (the engagement portion 31). May be applied.

Further, in the above embodiment, the first caulking portion 3
In FIG. 10 a, the bearing holder 30 has been described as a structure that only bites into the notch 112.
Also in the case of Oa, caulking may be performed so that the motor board 10 is sandwiched from above and below.

[0026]

As described above, the present invention is applied.
In the motor manufacturing method , a notch is formed in the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole even though the cylindrical bearing holder is fixed to the motor substrate by caulking with the inner peripheral edge of the bearing holder insertion hole. The invention is characterized in that the caulked portion of the outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder, which has been formed at a position corresponding to the notch, cuts into the notch. Therefore, according to the present invention, the rotation of the bearing holder in the circumferential direction is reliably restricted at the portion corresponding to the notch, so that even when the force when the rotor rotates is transmitted to the bearing holder, the bearing holder becomes loose. Never. In addition, since it is only necessary to change the shape of the bearing holder insertion hole and to specify the crimping position at a predetermined position, the manufacturing cost of the motor does not increase.
