Abstract

A motor includes: a rotor core which rotates about an axis; a plurality of magnets which extend in an axial direction of the axis inside the rotor core and are disposed in a circumferential direction; a shaft body which is disposed coaxially with the rotor core and has a hollow portion through which a fluid is able to pass from a first side to a second side in the axial direction; and a plurality of heat radiation portions which are disposed along the magnet in the circumferential direction and have a planar portion disposed to be parallel to a side surface of the magnet facing a radial direction, wherein the heat radiation portion extends to be closer to the second side than a second side core end surface located on the second side in the axial direction of the rotor core.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor, comprising:
a rotor core which rotates about an axis;
a plurality of magnets which extend in an axial direction of the axis inside the rotor core and are disposed in a circumferential direction;
a shaft body which is disposed coaxially with the rotor core and has a hollow portion through which a fluid is able to pass from a first side to a second side in the axial direction; and
a plurality of heat radiation portions which are disposed along the magnet in the circumferential direction and have a planar portion disposed to be parallel to a side surface of the magnet facing a radial direction,
wherein the heat radiation portion extends in a direction from the first side to the second side in the axial direction beyond a second side core end surface located on the second side in the axial direction of the rotor core.

2. The motor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the rotor core has a plurality of the magnets arranged along the radial direction from the axis to an outer circumferential portion of the rotor core, and
the heat radiation portion is disposed between the plurality of magnets arranged in the radial direction.

3. The motor according to claim 2 ,
wherein at least a part of the heat radiation portion located between the magnets is formed in a flat plate shape, and at least part of the planar portion is in contact with the magnet.

4. The motor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the heat radiation portion has a first reduced diameter portion located further inward in the radial direction than the heat radiation portion inside the rotor core and beyond the second side core end surface.

5. The motor according to claim 4 ,
wherein the shaft body includes a collar which supports the first reduced diameter portion of the heat radiation portion.

6. The motor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the heat radiation portion has a second reduced diameter portion located further inward in the radial direction than an inner diameter of the hollow portion and beyond a second side shaft body end surface located on the second side in the axial direction of the shaft body, and
the heat radiation portion is pivotally supported at the second reduced diameter portion.

7. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the heat radiation portion is formed of a copper.

8. A ducted fan using the motor according to claim 1 .
