Abstract:
A small brush motor comprising:an armature core having six salient poles in a radial array, a commutator having six risers positioned between the salient poles at one end face side of said armature core, a three-phase coil connected to the six risers and wound around the salient poles, an overvoltage suppressing varistor having three electrodes connected to every other of said six risers, a brush in sliding contact with said commutator, and an outer permanent magnet having four magnetic poles, each of the phase coil of said three-phase coil being wound using three risers and two salient poles, wherein said six risers comprise first risers and second risers, said first risers and said second risers being in a point symmetric positional relationship about the center of rotation of said armature core, said first risers not being connected to an electrode of said overvoltage suppressing varistor, and said second risers being connected to electrodes of said overvoltage suppressing varistor, wherein said six salient poles comprise first salient poles and second salient poles, said first salient poles adjoining said second risers in the forward rotation direction, and said second salient poles adjoining said second risers in the reverse rotation direction, wherein a side opposite to said one end face side of said armature core is defined as the-other-end face side, wherein each phase coil has a zigzag part, a first coil part and a second coil part, wherein said zigzag part is formed by alternately bending and connecting successively to said the-other-end face side, said one end face side, and said the-other-end face side the three salient poles in the interval from the knotting part of the first riser in the forward rotation direction to the knotting part of the second riser, wherein said first coil part is formed by winding from the knotting part of the second riser in the reverse rotation direction and wrapping at the adjoining first salient pole, and wherein said second coil part is formed by winding from the first coil part in the forward rotation direction and wrapping at the adjoining second salient pole and connects from the second coil part in the forward rotation direction to the knotting part of the first riser of an adjoining different phase, the winding directions of the first coil part and the second coil part being opposite winding directions from each other.
