Abstract
Abstract In a permanent type DC motor, a stator comprises a yoke and a plurality of magnetic pole pairs composed of permanent magnets and auxiliary poles. The plurality of magnetic pole pairs are held and fixed in intimate contact with the yoke by pressingly deforming a cylindrical thin plate made of magnetic material such as a steel plate. The fixture of the magnetic pole pairs composed of the permanent magnets and auxiliary poles is attained by a projecting part formed by pressingly deforming a part of the thin cylindrical plate made of the magnetic material toward a space between the adjacent pole pairs and by using U-shaped magnetic retaining pieces.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
A permanent magnet type DC motor comprising: (a) a yoke having a substantially cylindrical shape; (b) a plurality of magnetic pole pairs of permanent magnets and auxiliary poles fixed to an inner circumferential surface of said yoke; (c) a rotor adapted to be disposed to confront with said permanent magnets and auxiliary poles adjacent to and along said permanent magnets and auxiliary poles; (d) an end bracket mechanically fixed to one end of said yoke; (e) means for rotatably supporting said rotor, said rotatably supporting means being fixed to said end bracket; (f) brush means fixed to said end bracket for supplying a DC current to an armature of said rotor; and (g) a cylindrical magnetic cover member pressingly deformed and fixed to the inner circumferential surface of said plurality of magnetic pole pairs for holding said magnetic pole pairs in intimate contact with said yoke solely by the resilient force thereof, said magnetic cover member extending in a rotational axial direction of said rotor beyond a length of said magnetic pole pairs, and having at both ends an outer diameter larger than an inner diameter of said magnetic pole pairs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
191 words
A permanent magnet type DC motor comprising: (a) a yoke having a substantially cylindrical shape; (b) a plurality of magnetic pole pairs of permanent magnets and auxiliary poles fixed to an inner circumferential surface of said yoke; (c) a rotor adapted to be disposed to confront with said permanent magnets and auxiliary poles adjacent to and along said permanent magnets and auxiliary poles; (d) an end bracket mechanically fixed to one end of said yoke; (e) means for rotatably supporting said rotor, said rotatably supporting means being fixed to said end bracket; (f) brush means fixed to said end bracket for supplying a DC current to an armature of said rotor; and (g) a cylindrical magnetic cover member pressingly deformed and fixed to the inner circumferential surface of said plurality of magnetic pole pairs for holding said magnetic pole pairs in intimate contact with said yoke solely by the resilient force thereof, said magnetic cover member extending in a rotational axial direction of said rotor beyond a length of said magnetic pole pairs, and having at both ends an outer diameter larger than an inner diameter of said magnetic pole pairs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The DC motor according to claim 1, wherein part of said magnetic cover member is pressingly deformed into a space between the adjacent magnetic pole pairs disposed on the inner circumferential surface of said yoke.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The DC motor according to claim 1, further comprising magnetic pole fixing means including a U-shaped magnetic member, said U-shaped magnetic member being interposed in a space between the adjacent magnetic pole pairs disposed on the inner circumferential surface of said yoke.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The DC motor according to claim 3, wherein part of said magnetic cover member is pressingly deformed into a space between said magnetic pole pairs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The DC motor according to claim 1, wherein one end of said magnetic cover member having an outer diameter larger than an inner diameter of said magnetic pole pairs is clamped between said yoke and said end bracket.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
The DC motor according to claim 3, wherein said U-shaped magnetic member is provided with an aperture therein, and said yoke is plastically deformed through said aperture of said U-shaped magnetic member so as to firmly fix said U-shaped magnetic member to said yoke.
