The outside core has a first outside tube section having multiple second protrusions protruding from the inner circumferential surface toward the inside in the radial direction, and a cylindrical second outside tube section extending in the axial direction from the first outside tube section. Thus, the electrostatic capacitance between the inside core and the outside core can be minimized. Accordingly, electrical corrosion of the bearings can be reduced.

Abstract

This fan unit is used in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and comprises: a motor; an impeller that rotates by power from the motor; and a panel arranged forward of the impeller and having a plurality of through holes through which airflow created by the rotation of the impeller passes. The motor includes: a stationary part including a stator; and a rotary part including a magnet located more radially outward than the stator. The stationary part is fixed to the panel. The stationary part or the panel has an annular groove part, the center of which is the central axis. The rotary part has an annular end part, the center of which is the central axis. The annular end part is arranged in the annular groove part. In this way, a labyrinth structure is formed by the annular groove part and the annular end part. Thus, the path of entry of water droplets into the motor interior is made long. Therefore, it is possible to inhibit the adhesion of water droplets to the stator while fixing the motor to the panel.

Abstract

This fan unit, which is used in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, has a motor, an impeller, and a panel. The impeller rotates due to the power of the motor about a central axis that extends in the fore-aft direction. The panel is disposed to the front of the impeller and has a plurality of through-holes that transmit an air flow that is generated by the rotation of the impeller. Furthermore, the panel has a center portion, which supports a stationary portion of the motor, and at least one rib. The rib includes a first rib that extends from the center portion toward the outside in the radial direction. The rigidity of the panel is improved due to the fact that the panel has the first rib. This makes it possible to suppress deformation of the panel.

Abstract

This fan unit of an outdoor unit comprises: a motor; an impeller that rotates by power from the motor; and a panel arranged forward of the impeller. A stationary part of the motor is fixed to the panel. Airflow created by the rotation of the impeller passes through a plurality of through holes provided in the panel. The fan unit has, on the peripheral edge of the panel, a flow-regulating projection that projects in the axial direction. The airflow created by the impeller is regulated by the flow-regulating projection. Thus, it is possible to fix the motor to the panel and to prevent the air permeability of the panel from deteriorating.

Abstract

In a motor production step, first, a terminal pin is attached to an insulator of a stator. Next, an end of a conducting wire which constitutes a coil is pulled out to the terminal pin side and the conducting wire is wrapped around the terminal pin. Next, the conducting wire and the terminal pin are soldered. Then, a casing is injection-molded, the stator serving as an insert part. In doing so, a mold is brought into contact with the upper surface of the insulator, and the terminal pin is enclosed by the mold, thereby preventing the conducting wire wrapped around the terminal pin from coming into contact with the mold. As a result, it is possible to suppress damage to the conducting wire.
