The flexible substrate 10 is a resin substrate having a first surface (10F) and a second surface (10B) on the opposite side with respect to the first surface (10F). The flexible substrate 10 is formed using an insulating resin such as polyimide or polyamide. The flexible substrate 10 is flexible. The flexible substrate 10 is formed in a rectangular shape having short sides (10S) and long sides (10L).
The coils (20, 22, 24) are formed along the long sides (10L) of the flexible substrate 10. In the embodiment, the flexible substrate 10 is provided with three coils (20, 22, 24). However, in a modified example, the flexible substrate 10 may be provided with two or three or more coils.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2020-61532 describes a coil substrate having a flexible substrate and spiral-shaped wirings formed on both sides of the flexible substrate. A motor coil substrate is formed by winding the coil substrate into a cylindrical shape. A motor is formed by positioning the formed motor coil substrate on an inner side of a cylindrical yoke and positioning a rotation shaft and a magnet on an inner side of the motor coil substrate.
In the technology of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2020-61532, when the coil substrate is wound into a cylindrical shape, as the flexible substrate deforms, wirings positioned on an inner peripheral side come close to each other. Therefore, when a high voltage is applied, it is considered that a short circuit may occur between wirings that have come close to each other.
A coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible substrate that has a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side with respect to the first surface, and a coil that is formed by a coil-shaped wiring provided on the first surface and a coil-shaped wiring provided on the second surface. An inter-wiring distance of the wiring on the first surface is larger than an inter-wiring distance of the wiring on the second surface.
In the coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, the inter-wiring distance of the wiring on the first surface is larger than the inter-wiring distance of the wiring on the second surface. Therefore, when the coil substrate is wound into a cylindrical shape with the first surface positioned on the inner peripheral side and the second surface positioned on the outer peripheral side to form a motor coil substrate, the distance between wirings on the first surface is maintained and the wirings do not come into contact with each other. Even when a high voltage is applied, occurrence of a short circuit between the wirings on the first surface can be suppressed. When a motor is formed using the coil substrate, a withstand voltage of the motor is ensured, and a motor with stable performance is obtained.
A motor coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by winding the above coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention into a cylindrical shape. The first surface is positioned on an inner peripheral side, and the second surface is positioned on an outer peripheral side.
In the motor coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the wirings on the first surface is maintained and the wirings do not come into contact with each other. Even when a high voltage is applied, occurrence of a short circuit between the wirings on the first surface can be suppressed. When a motor is formed using the motor coil substrate, a withstand voltage of the motor is ensured, and a motor with stable performance is obtained.
Another motor coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by winding a coil substrate into a cylindrical shape, the coil substrate having a flexible substrate and a coil, the flexible substrate having a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side with respect to the first surface, and the coil being formed by a coil-shaped wiring provided on the first surface and a coil-shaped wiring provided on the second surface. The first surface is positioned on an inner peripheral side. The second surface is positioned on an outer peripheral side. A first distance between top portions of the wiring on the first surface is substantially equal to a second distance between bottom portions of the wiring on the second surface positioned on the outer peripheral side.
When the coil substrate is wound into a cylindrical shape, the top portions of the wiring on the first surface on the inner peripheral side are closest to each other, and the bottom portions of the wiring on the second surface on the outer peripheral side are closest to each other. In another motor coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first distance between the top portions of the wiring on the first surface and the second distance between the bottom portions of the wiring on the second surface are maintained substantially equal to each other. Even when a high voltage is applied, occurrence of a short circuit between the wirings on the first surface can be suppressed. Further, since the distance between the wirings on the second surface is not excessively large, a space factor of the motor coil substrate can also be maintained high. When a motor is formed using the motor coil substrate, a withstand voltage of the motor is ensured, and a motor with stable performance is obtained.
A motor according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by positioning the above motor coil substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention on an inner side of a cylindrical yoke and positioning a rotation shaft and a magnet on an inner side of the motor coil substrate.
In the motor according to an embodiment of the present invention, even when a high voltage is applied, occurrence of a short circuit between the wirings is suppressed. A withstand voltage of the motor is ensured, and a motor with stable performance is obtained.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
