Eccentric rotor and flat motor comprising same

Abstract

A printed wiring board includes a commutator at a rotation center thereof on one side and a bearing at the rotation center on the other side, first, second and third wound air-core coils having an effective conductor opened to the magnetic pole opening angle, and an eccentric weight comprising a main component and a supplementary part formed so as to be no thicker than the first wound air-core coil and disposed so that the main component does not protrude axially upward of the second and third wound air-core coils. The second wound air-core coil and third wound air-core coil partially overlap both sides of the first wound air-core coil implanted on the printed wiring board, so that the supplementary part of the eccentric weight and a portion of the spark quenching elements are accommodated in the axial space created on outward of both sides of the first wound air-core coil and the main component of the eccentric weight is disposed so as to be on the side opposite the first wound air-core coil across the bearing.
