Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] By easily attaching and detaching the external connector to the connector, it is possible to solve the problem that the lead wire is likely to get in the way when handling the motor and the lead wire is erroneously applied with excessive force. An object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized motor that can be manufactured at low cost because the motor can be downsized and a single-sided board can be used. An external connector 17 is easily attached to and detached from the connection port 161 by a connection port 161 of a connector 16 provided on a substrate 115 in a state of being inclined at an acute angle with respect to a rotation axis of a motor body 11. By covering the opening 116 with the cover 19, it is possible to protect against adverse external effects such as dew condensation or external force.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to, for example, a small motor for rotating a wind vane provided in an air outlet of an air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in this type of small motor, in order to connect the winding wound on the bobbin of the motor body and the external power supply, as shown in FIG. 6, the terminal 2 drawn out from the motor body 1 is connected. The lead wire 5 with the connector 4 is connected to the printed circuit board 3 by soldering, or the lead wire 5 with the connector 4 is directly soldered to the terminal 2 as shown in FIG. It has been known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the structure in which the lead wire 5 is connected to the small-sized motor side as in the above-described conventional case, the length of the lead wire once connected cannot be changed. There is a problem that a small motor to which the lead wire 5 is connected must be prepared, and the lead wire tends to get in the way when handling the small motor, and the lead wire is erroneously applied with excessive force. There was a fear. Then, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, as shown in FIG. 8, a connector 6 is erected on the board 3, and the lead wire 5 having the connector 4 at both ends is detachably connected to the connector 6. However, in this case, since the distance L between the standing connector 6 and the center of the motor main body 1 becomes large, there is a problem that the space occupied by the small motor as a whole increases. In the substrate 3 shown in FIG. 8, the terminals 2 and the connectors 6 project in opposite directions, so that it is necessary to use a double-sided substrate having through holes, which causes a problem of increased manufacturing cost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is a problem due to lead wire stitching, that is, a lead wire is apt to be an obstacle during handling of a motor. In addition to being able to solve problems such as applying excessive force to the lead wires by mistake, the distance between the connector and the center of the motor body can be shortened, and the motor can be downsized. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a small-sized motor that can use a single-sided board and can be manufactured at low cost.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a motor body, a container for housing the motor body, and a substrate connected to a terminal drawn out from the motor body at an opening formed in the container. In the small motor described above, a connector to be connected to the terminal is provided on the board, and a connection port with a facing external connector is provided at an acute angle with respect to a rotation axis of the motor body. It has a cover on it.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the small motor of the present invention, the external connector can be easily attached to and detached from the connecting port of the connector provided on the substrate in a state of being inclined at an acute angle with respect to the rotation axis of the motor body.

Inside the container 10, the rotor of the motor main body 11 ( (Not shown) is rotatably provided. A stator 110 is provided on the outer circumference of the rotor, and a reduction gear group 12 is connected to the rotary shaft of the rotor. Then, U-shaped ears 102 are formed at both ends of the mounting plate 101 of the container 10, and the mounting screws 13 inserted into these ears 102 are screwed into the mounting protrusions 14 of the air conditioner. Fixed (see Figure 5). Further, the output shaft 120 of the reduction gear group 12 projecting from the mounting plate 101 is connected to a wind direction plate of an air conditioner via a coupling 15. Further, the stator 110 is composed of a plurality of yokes 111 having teeth serving as a large number of magnetic poles, the cup 100 having teeth serving as magnetic poles formed on the bottom, and a pair of bobbins 112a and 112b. The coil windings 113 are wound around the bobbins 112a and 112b, respectively, and the ends of the coil windings 113 drawn from the bobbins 112a and 112b are connected to predetermined terminals 114, respectively. Each of these terminals 114 is inserted into the board 115 and soldered on the outer surface side of the board 115. The board 115 is inserted into the opening 116 formed on the upper surface of the cup 100 of the container 10. Exposed. Furthermore, the mounting protrusion 112c of the bobbin 112a is mounted in the mounting hole formed in the substrate 115, and the substrate 115 is brought into contact with the convex portion 112d of the bobbin 112a. The substrate 115 is supported by the mounting projection 112c and the convex portion 112d of the connector 112a.

On the board 115, a plurality of pins 160 inserted into the connector 16 are vertically inserted into the board 115 and soldered on the outer surface side of the board 115. These pins 160 are bent at an obtuse angle, and the connecting port 161 of the connector 16 and the pin 160 in the connector 16 are formed at an acute angle (for example, 13 degrees) with respect to the rotation axis of the motor body 11. The inclination is provided. The external connector 17 is detachably attached to the connection port 161 of the connector 16, and the tip of the lead wire 18 connected to the external connector 17 is connected to a power source (not shown). Connected with. Further, a pair of legs 162 is formed on the back surface of the connector 16. Then, the cutout surfaces 163 of the leg portions 162 are brought into contact with the corner portions of the bobbin 112a, or the recesses 164 formed between both leg portions 162 of the connector 16 are brought into contact with the substrate 115. The connector 16 is positioned and fixed to the bobbin 112a or the board 115. Further, an extension portion 165 is formed on the back surface side of the connector 16 so as to cover the yoke portion Y formed of the flange portions of the bobbins 112a and 112b and the pair of yokes 111 between them. The locking projections 112e formed on the bobbin 112b are engaged with the pair of U-shaped groove portions 166 formed on the extending portion 165.

A cover 19 is provided around the board 115 and the connector 16. The cover 19 is mainly composed of three side walls 190, 191, 192, a covering wall 193 connected to these side walls 190 to 192, and an extension portion 194 extending from the side walls 191, 192. ing. The side wall 190 is supported by the mounting plate 101. Further, the side walls 191 and 192 are respectively formed with locking portions 195 that engage with the engaging portions 112f of the bobbin 112a. The inner surface of the coating wall 193 is in contact with the connector 16, and a locking step 196 that engages with the connector 16 is formed on the inner surface of the coating wall 193. Further, the cover wall 193 is formed with a notch 197 for exposing the pair of small holes 167 of the connector 16, and by seeing the both small holes 167 from the outside through the notch 197, the connector 16 is exposed to the outside. It is possible to visually confirm whether or not the connector 17 is securely attached. Further, the extension portion 194 includes a cover 194a that abuts the extension 165 of the connector 16 to cover the extension 165, and an arc piece 194b that is continuous with the cover 194a. The end surface of the extension portion 165 of the connector 16 is engaged with the locking portion 194c formed on the inner surface of the cover 194a of the cover 19 and is formed on the outer surface of the extension portion 194. The step 194d is engaged with the opening 116 of the cup 100. Furthermore, in the cover 19, the locking portion 195 and the arc piece 194b are housed in the cup 100, and the side walls 190 to 192, the covering wall 193, and the covering body 194a are exposed from the opening 116 of the cup 100. In this state, the container 10 (cup 100 and mounting plate 101) is supported.

In the small motor configured as described above, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the ear formed on both ends of the mounting plate 101 of the container 10 with the cover 19 on the upper side. The mounting screw 13 inserted into the portion 102 is screwed and fixed to the mounting protrusion 14 of the air conditioner, and the external connector 17 is inserted into the connection port 161 of the connector 16 mounted on the board 115 to connect the two. . At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the external connector 17 presses the connector 16 toward the substrate 115 side, but the connector 16 is supported by the cover 19 via the locking step 196 on the inner surface of the covering wall 193. In addition, since the cover 19 is supported by the mounting plate 101, the force applied to the connector 16 is not applied to the board 115, and thus the board 115 and the terminal 114 are not heavily loaded. Further, the fact that the external connector 17 is securely attached to the connector 16 can be visually recognized smoothly by looking inside through the small hole 167 of the connector 16 through the cutout 197 formed in the covering wall 193. . In this way, when the external connector 17 is attached to the connector 16, the cover 19 covers the substrate 115 and the connector 16 exposed in the opening 116 of the cup 100 of the container 10. It is possible to reliably protect the board 115, the terminal 114, and the like inside the cover 19 against water drops dripping from above (from the left side in FIG. 1) due to dew condensation and external force applied erroneously when assembling the air conditioner. Further, when a force that pulls the lead wire 18 outward (to the left in FIG. 1) of the motor body 11 with the external connector 17 attached to the connector 16 is applied, the connector 16 is attached to the cover 19. Since the extended portion 165 of the connector 16 is in contact with the inner surface of the extension portion 194 while being in contact with the inner surface of the covering wall 193, the connector 16 is supported by the cover 19, and the cover 19 is in contact with the cup. By being supported by 100, the connector 16 does not move and the board 115 and the terminals 114 are not adversely affected. Furthermore, even when it is necessary to remove the external connector 17 from the connector 16, the force applied to the connector 16 is applied to the cover 194a of the cover 19 which is engaged with the end surface of the extending portion 165 of the connector 16. Since the engaging portion 194c on the inner surface of the bobbin 112b and the engaging protrusion 112e of the bobbin 112b fitted in the groove portion 166 of the connector 16 receive the force, the substrate 115 is not subjected to the force applied to the connector 16.

In this way, the external connector 17 is connected to the connector 16 on the small motor side as required. Therefore, after mounting the small motor, the external connector 17 having the lead wire 18 of a desired length is attached. 17 can be connected. Therefore, an unreasonable force is not applied to the lead wire 18 when mounting the motor, and the mounting location of the motor can be flexibly accommodated. Further, since the terminals 114 attached to the board 115 and the pins 160 of the connector 16 are both soldered on the outer surface side of the board 115, the board 115 can be a single-sided board and can be manufactured at low cost. . Furthermore, since the external connector 17 is inserted into and removed from the connector 16 in a state of being inclined at an acute angle with respect to the rotation axis of the motor body 11, the operability at the time of insertion and removal is excellent. The distance between the connector 16 and the axis of the motor body 11 can be reduced, and the motor can be downsized. Furthermore, since the pin 160 of the connector 16 is formed to have an obtuse angle, when the pin 160 of the connector 16 is soldered to the substrate 115, the connector 16 and the pin 160 in the connector 16 form an acute angle with respect to the rotation axis of the motor body 11. In the state in which the pins 160 are inclined, the board 115 side of the pin 160 can be mounted vertically to the board 115 and easily soldered. At this time, the cutout surface 163 of the leg portion 162 of the connector 16 is brought into contact with the corner portion of the bobbin 112a, or the recess 164 formed between the both leg portions 162 of the connector 16 is brought into contact with the substrate 115. At the same time, the extension portion 165 of the connector 16 is brought into contact with the bobbins 112a and 112b, so that the connector 16 is smoothly positioned, so that the mounting depth of the pin 160 to the board 115 is adjusted to a predetermined value. It

In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the locking step 196 that engages with the connector 16 is formed on the inner surface of the covering wall 193 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the connector 16 is engaged. The locking step may be formed on the inner surface of the side walls 191, 192.
