Abstract

An improved electrical rotary machine which includes a stator having either one of a permanent magnet or pole teeth, a rotor having the other of the permanent magnet or pole teeth, a ring coil wound around a coil bobbin, a yoke which forms a magnetic circuit surrounding the ring coil together with the pole teeth, a bearing for supporting a rotor shaft of the rotor, a reduction mechanism further including gears engaging a gear secured to the rotor shaft, and a case for the reduction mechanism. The yoke is formed as one unit with the case for integral construction of the coil bobbin, bearing and case.

Claims

1. An electrical rotary apparatus which comprises:

a motor case of magnetic material;

a stator member forming part of said case;

a rotor member within said case, one of said members having a permanent magnet and the other member being of a magnetic material;

a rotor shaft on which said rotor member is mounted;

a bearing of a synthetic resin material in which said rotor shaft is supported;

a coil bobbin of synthetic resin material around said shaft and on the opposite side of said rotor from said stator;

a ring coil wound around said coil bobbin;

a yoke member of magnetic material extending parallel with said rotor shaft from said rotor and then radially outwardly on the opposite side of said bobbin coil from said rotor;

a reduction mechanism including reduction gears and a further gear secured to said rotor shaft at a point spaced along said shaft from said rotor and on the opposite side of said bearing from said rotor and engaged with said reduction gears;

and

a gear case of synthetic resin material for said reduction gears and having a radially extending wall within which said radially extending part of said yoke is embedded;

said gear case, said coil bobbin and said bearing being integrally molded and said gear case being fitted into said motor case for securing said motor case to said gear case and with the outer periphery of said yoke contacting said motor casing.

2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprising at least one spacer of synthetic resin molded integrally with said radially extending wall and extending into said gear casing and having a gear shaft receiving recess therein.

3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said yoke has a plurality of openings therein through which the synthetic resin extends for rigidly securing said yoke to said gear case.

4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said motor case is made of soft magnetizable material.

5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said permanent magnet is on the stator and is a mixture of barium ferrite in powder form molded with polyamide resin.

6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said integrally molded gear case, coil bobbin and bearing has a recess therein at the end toward said rotor and in which said yoke is exposed, and a rotor boss on said rotor extending into said recess and engaged with said yoke.

7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a thrust bearing at a central portion of said stator, said thrust bearing having rolling bearing elements contacting said rotor, and a rotor boss on which said rotor is mounted and being secured to said rotor shaft.
