Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is a rotational frequency detection means (hereinafter referred to as FG) that outputs a frequency signal according to the rotational speed of a rotor.
It relates to a brushless motor having
It is particularly effective when used as a drive source for audio/visual equipment.

Conventional configurations and their problems Brushless motors are widely used in audio/visual equipment, etc., but are often required to have high-precision rotational performance. frequency detection means according to the rotation of the child;
In other words, FG becomes necessary. Various types of FG structures have been proposed, including electromagnetic induction and optical methods, but the electromagnetic induction method is often used because of its ease of construction and low cost.

FIG. 1 shows a side sectional view of an example of a conventional brushless motor having such an electromagnetic induction type FG structure, and FIG. 2 shows a cutaway perspective view of the rotor of the brushless motor. In those drawings, this brushless motor 1 has a first flat part 2
An annular permanent magnet rotor 3 magnetized to a plurality of predetermined poles is arranged on a stator flat plate 4 made of a magnetic material and facing the first plane portion 2 with a predetermined gap therebetween. The permanent magnet rotor 3 is provided with a rotational position detecting section 6 for detecting the rotational position of the plural-phase stator winding 5 and the permanent magnet rotor 3. The permanent magnet rotor 3
The second flat part 8 of the permanent magnet rotor 3 is fixed to a back yoke 7 made of a magnetic material by contacting the second flat part 8 of the permanent magnet rotor 3, and rotates integrally with the motor shaft 9. The motor shaft 9 has a bearing portion 1 attached to a motor board 10.
1, and is thrust supported by a thrust receiver 12 mounted on the stator 4.

The back yoke 7 is constructed so as to wrap around the permanent magnet rotor 3, as shown in FIG. Rotational frequency detection means (FG) 13 that generates a signal with a frequency corresponding to the number of rotations of the permanent magnet rotor 3
is attached to the outer periphery of the back yoke 7,

It includes a magnetic detection element 15 that detects changes in magnetic flux generated by the magnetic flux. The magnetic detection element 15 includes a magnetic head, a Hall element, a magnetoresistive element, and the like.

In the conventional brushless motor configured as described above, the annular magnet 14 is attached to the outer periphery of the back yoke 7 by means such as press-fitting or gluing. There was a drawback that the annular magnet 14 fell off from the back yoke 7. Further, when the annular magnet 14 is made of a resin magnet in which a magnetic material is mixed into a resin material, the coefficient of thermal expansion is larger than that of the back yoke 7 made of a magnetic material, so that it can be easily used even when subjected to temperature changes. It had the drawback of falling out.

Purpose of the Invention An object of the present invention is to provide a brushless motor in which the annular magnet for FG does not unnecessarily separate from the back yoke even if an external shock is applied or there is a significant temperature change. It is something.

Composition of the Invention The present invention comprises an annular main permanent magnet whose first plane part is magnetized with a required number of poles, and a main permanent magnet arranged on a second plane part side of the main permanent magnet. A rotor including a back yoke made of a magnetic material configured to wrap around the outer periphery of a permanent magnet, and a stator winding provided on a stator flat plate facing a first flat portion of the main permanent magnet. a stator, an annular magnet whose outer peripheral surface is magnetized with a plurality of poles and rotates integrally with the rotor, and at least one magnetic detection element provided near the peripheral surface of the annular magnet. The back yoke has a convex portion, a concave portion, or an uneven portion on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a concave portion or a convex portion that substantially fits with the convex portion or concave portion on the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke 7. The annular magnet made of a resin magnet having a portion on the inner circumferential surface is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on illustrated embodiments. FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of one embodiment of the brushless motor of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cutaway perspective view of a rotor in the same embodiment. Since the operation of the brushless motor of this embodiment is essentially the same as the operation of the conventional brushless motor shown in FIG. 1 described above, the explanation here will be omitted. The most distinctive feature of the brushless motor of the present invention is that a back yoke 16 corresponding to 7 in FIG.
It shall have a convex part or a concave part on the outer peripheral surface,
An annular magnet 19 made of a resin magnet is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke 16, and the annular magnet 19 has a concave or convex portion 18 on the inner circumferential surface that approximately fits into the convex or concave portion 17.

The annular magnet 19 made of resin magnet for the FG is
As the resin material, polyamide or the like having excellent moldability is mainly used, and as the magnet material, barium ferrite, strontium ferrite or the like is used.

The resin magnet is manufactured by melting and kneading a resin material and magnet material powder, then pulverizing the mixture, and then using injection molding or other means. Although the resin magnets have inferior magnetic properties compared to sintered magnets, they have very high dimensional accuracy after molding. Therefore, unlike sintered magnets that have a high shrinkage rate during sintering and low dimensional accuracy and require mechanical processes such as grinding after sintering, this has the excellent advantage of not necessarily requiring mechanical processing after forming. have. In addition, when manufacturing a magnet with a very thin wall thickness in the radial direction, such as an annular magnet for FG, using sintered magnets, cracks tend to occur and manufacturing is difficult.
Since the annular magnet 19 for FG of the present invention is made of a resin magnet, a thin annular magnet can be easily manufactured.

This annular magnet 19 is easily formed by a well-known molding method (outsert molding, etc.) so that the recess or recess 17 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the back yoke 16 is held in the recess or protrusion 18 on the inner peripheral surface of the annular magnet 19. It can be molded integrally with the back yoke 16. In addition, there is no need for any means such as adhesion or press-fitting, making it possible to provide an inexpensive FG magnet that is highly mass-producible. When the FG magnet is a sintered magnet, the degree of freedom in the shape of the magnet is very small due to its manufacture, and it is very difficult to configure it as described above.

Furthermore, when the motor is subjected to a significant temperature change, the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke 16 and the inner circumferential surface of the annular magnet 19 are not chemically bonded to each other by adhesive means, so that the annular magnet 19 moves in the radial direction of the motor. can be inflated evenly. Therefore, while the rotor of the motor rotates once, the air gap distance between the magnetic sensing element 15 and the magnetic sensing element 15 is kept constant.
Since the FG output is not subjected to AM modulation and the FG accuracy does not deteriorate, it is possible to obtain the excellent effect of not causing uneven rotation of the motor.

Further, the annular magnet 19 has a concave or convex portion 18 formed on the inner circumferential surface thereof, and the concave portion or convex portion 18 and the convex portion or concave portion 17 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke 16 fit together.
Since the FG annular magnet 19 is fitted with the back yoke 16, even if the brushless motor is subjected to an external impact or the FG annular magnet 19 is thermally deformed due to a significant temperature change. , will not be unnecessarily separated from the back yoke 16.

Effects of the Invention With the structure described above, since the annular magnet for FG is made of a resin magnet, the annular magnet for FG can be easily integrated into the back yoke so as to sandwich the outer peripheral surface of the back yoke. It can be molded, and there is no need for any means such as adhesion or press-fitting, making it possible to provide an inexpensive annular magnet for FG that is excellent in mass production. Furthermore, even if the present brushless motor is subjected to significant temperature changes, the annular magnet for FG can expand uniformly, so the excellent effect of maintaining the rotational accuracy of the motor can be obtained. In addition, even if this brushless motor is subjected to external shocks as well as temperature changes, due to the fit between the concave or convex portion of the annular magnet and the convex or concave portion of the outer peripheral surface of the back yoke,
Another advantage is that the annular magnet for FG does not fall out of the back yoke.

In addition, the annular magnet that fits into the concave or convex portion of the outer circumferential surface of the back yoke always has a thinner radial thickness part, so especially when the outer circumferential surface of the annular magnet is magnetized with short wavelengths. teeth,
By magnetizing this thin portion, thickness demagnetization of the recorded signal can be reduced, and sufficient magnetic flux to be detected can be generated from the annular magnet. Therefore, by facilitating short wavelength magnetization, it is possible to improve the resolution of the FG and improve the rotation accuracy of the motor.
