A housing of a rotating electrical machine has a flow path extending in a rectangular wave shape along a circumferential direction, and including axial paths, and first and second circumferential paths joining first ends and second ends of the axial paths, respectively. The axial path includes joined first and second paths. A cross-section in each of the first and second paths decreases toward the other. A difference between the cross-sections at the first end and at the first circumferential path is not higher than a difference between the cross-sections at the first end and at a third end of the first path close to the second path. A difference between the cross-sections at the second end and at the second circumferential path is not higher than a difference between the cross-sections at the second end and at a fourth end of the second path close to the first path.

Rotating electrical machine and drive device

An impeller for a centrifugal fan rotatable about a central axis extending in an axial direction includes a hub portion expanding radially outward about the central axis, and wings on a radially outer side of the hub portion. A cross-sectional shape of the wing in a circumferential direction is a wing shape.

Impeller and centrifugal fan

A motor includes a shaft centered on a center axis oriented in a vertical direction, a bearing supporting the shaft, an armature disposed radially outward of the bearing, a bracket to which the bearing and the armature are fixed, and a covered cylindrical rotor connected to the shaft. The rotor includes a rotor lid portion connected to the shaft, a rotor side wall portion extending downward from an outer edge of the rotor lid portion, a blower plate portion connected to a lower surface of the rotor lid portion and extending radially outward from a center portion of the rotor lid portion, an inlet disposed radially outward of the cylindrical portion and penetrating the bracket, and an outlet disposed radially outward of the blower plate portion and radially penetrating the rotor.

Motor with rotor including angled cooling outlet and a bracket including cooling inlet

A motor includes a shaft, a bearing supporting the shaft, an armature disposed radially outward of the bearing, a bracket to which the bearing and the armature are fixed, a covered cylindrical rotor connected to the shaft, and a bus bar unit. The armature includes a core back, teeth extending radially outward from the core back, an insulator covering surfaces of the, and a defined by a wire wound from above the insulator around the teeth. The bus bar unit includes bus bars to which the coils are connected, a bus bar holder holding the bus bars, and a bus bar cover covering portion of the bus bars.

Motor with bus bars located between inlet of bracket and stator

A motor includes a shaft with a central axis along an up and down direction as a center, a bearing mechanism rotatably supporting the shaft; a cylindrical rotor main body fixed to the shaft; a rotor fan fixed to the shaft at an upper side of the rotor main body; an armature facing the rotor main body in a radial direction; and a housing accommodating the rotor main body, the rotor fan, and the armature therein. The bearing mechanism includes a first bearing above the rotor fan in the housing and facing the rotor fan in the up and down direction and a second bearing positioned below the rotor main body. The housing includes a first opening, a second opening, and a bearing holding portion.

Motor

A motor includes a shaft centered on a center axis oriented in a vertical direction, a bearing rotatably supporting the shaft, an armature disposed radially outward of the bearing, a bracket to which the bearing and the armature are fixed, and a covered cylindrical rotor connected to the shaft. The rotor includes a disk-shaped rotor lid portion connected to the shaft, and a rotor side wall portion extending downward from an outer edge of the rotor lid portion. The shaft is made of metal. The rotor lid portion and the rotor side wall portion are made of resin. The rotor lid portion and the shaft are an integrally molded article.

Motor with shaft flange through-hole filled with resin

A motor includes a shaft with a central axis along an up and down direction as a center, a cylindrical rotor main body fixed to the shaft, a rotor fan fixed to the shaft at an upper side of the rotor main body, an armature facing the rotor main body in a radial direction, a bus bar electrically connecting the armature to an external power supply, a bus bar holding portion that holds the bus bar, and a housing that accommodates the rotor main body, the rotor fan, the armature, the bus bar, and the bus bar holding portion therein. The housing includes a first opening positioned above the armature and a second opening below the armature in the up and down direction. The bus bar holding portion is disposed outward the rotor fan in the radial direction.
