With reference to a motor-driven fan shown in Figs. 1 to 4, and 17 a first embodiment of the present invention will be explained. In Fig. 17, reference numeral 1 designates a motor-driven fan comprising of a motor unit 2 and a fan unit 3, and the motor unit 2 is equipped with a blacket 5 for press fitting fixedly a stator 4 and a rotor 6 which is supported rotatably by the blacket 5 to rotate in the stator 4. The fan unit 3 has a diffuser 7 and a fan 8. Next explanation will be given with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 showing a positional relationship when the stator 4 and the rotor 6 are blanked in a material. Reference numeral 9 designates a magnetic pole member as a first member forming magnetic poles 10 on which windings A are wound, the magnetic pole member 9 being formed with arms 11, 11 extending in both directions of the magnetic poles 10. A magnetic pole core 12 (refer to Fig. 3) is formed by laminating and fixing the laminated magnetic pole members 9 by the use of caulking technique and the like. Reference numeral 13 designates inclined face formed at the outer end corner of the arm 11, and reference numeral 14 designates an engaging projection formed on the magnetic pole 10 side of the arms 11. Reference numeral 15 designates a yoke member as a second member linked between the mutually opposite magnetic pole members 9, 9 on the magnetic pole 10 side. A yoke core 16 (refer to Fig. 3) fixed to the magnetic pole core 12 is formed by laminating and fixing the yoke members 15 by the use of caulking technique and the like, and the stator 4 is composed of the magnetic pole core 12 and yoke core 16. Reference numeral 17 designates curve portions which are formed at both ends of the yoke member 15 and which are proximate to the magnetic poles 10. Formed on the end face of the curve portions 17 is an engaging portion 18 with which the engaging projection 14 of the magnetic pole members 9 engages. Reference numeral 19 designates a rotor member arranged between the mutually opposite magnetic poles 10 of the magnetic pole members 9. The rotor 6 is formed by laminating and fixing the rotor members 19 by the use of caulking technique and the like, and windings are wound on the rotor 6. Respective members are blanked in a sheet of steel plate in a state in which, as shown in Figs. 1 to 2, the magnetic poles 10, 10 of the magnetic pole members 9, 9 are opposite to each other; the rotor member 19 is arranged between the magnetic poles 10, 10; and the yoke members 15, 15 are rotated by 90 degrees from the magnetic pole members 9, 9 with the rotor member 19 as a center, and arranged between the mutually opposite arms 11, 11 of the magnetic pole members 9, 9 and at positions proximate to the rotor members 19. In that arrangement, the yoke members 15, 15 are located within a width H of the magnetic pole member 9. The magnetic pole core 12, the yoke core 6 and the rotor 16 are formed by laminating and fixing the magnetic pole members 9, the yoke core members 15 and the rotor members 19 by the use of caulking technique and the like, respectively; and windings are wound on the magnetic poles 10 of the magnetic pole core 12 and on the rotor 6. The stator 4 is obtained by press fitting the engaging portion 18 of the yoke core 16 into the engaging projection 18 formed in the magnetic pole core 12 to fix the magnetic pole core 12 and the yoke core 16, and then the obtained stator 4 is press fitted into the bracket 5. In a state in which the pole core 12 and yoke core 16 are connected to each other, the inclined face 13 of the magnetic pole core 12 is adapted to be substantially continuous with an outer inclined portion 21 of the curve portion 16 of the yoke core 16; and the inclined face 13 and the outer inclined portion 21 abut against the inner face of the bracket 5. According to this constitution and assembling method, the dividing of the stator 4 into the magnetic pole core 12 and the yoke core 16 allows the workability to wind the windings A on the magnetic poles 10 to be improved. Formed at both ends of the yoke members 15 forming the yoke core 16 are the curve portions 17 in the direction approaching the magnetic poles 10 of the magnetic pole members (magnetic pole core) 9, 9, so that in blanking respective members in steel plate, when the rotor member 19 and the yoke members 15, 15 are arranged within the width H of the magnetic pole member 9, the yoke members 15 are arranged in such a manner as to surround the rotor member 19 and the magnetic poles 10. For this reason, portions (corresponding to portions 63 of prior art) which heretofore have been discarded in the constitution of undivided stator can be effectively used to form the component members of the stator, thereby improving the yield of material. Further, in blanking component material for the stator 4 and the rotor 6 in a steel plate, the stator 4 can be formed by arranging all the component material within the width H of the magnetic pole member 9, and moving laminated members for the stator 4, that is, the magnetic pole core 12 and the yoke core 16 toward the end of the arm 11 of the magnetic pole member 9 to be connected to each other. This allows a distance between the body portion of the magnetic core 16 and the rotor 20 to be secured when the yoke cores 16 are connected to the magnetic pole cores 12 while the blanking area in material is made small, and thus a leakage in magnetic flux from the rotor 6 to the body portion of the yoke core 16 when the motor is driven to be prevented. Then, with respect to Figs. 5 through 8, a second embodiment of the present invention will be explained. The same parts as those of the above-mentioned first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and thus the explanation thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 22 designates a magnetic pole member as a first member having a magnetic pole 23 on which windings are wound. Formed on both the sides of the magnetic pole member 22 are recesses 24, and a magnetic pole core 25 is formed by laminating and fixing the magnetic pole members 22 by the use of caulking technique and the like. Reference numeral 26 designates a substantially U-shaped yoke member as a second member, and a yoke core 27 is formed by laminating and fixing the yoke members 26 by the use of caulking technique and the like.

Reference numeral 29 designates a link member as a third member blanked between the magnetic pole 23 of the magnetic pole member 22 and the yoke member 26. A link core 30 is formed by laminating and fixing the link members 29 by the use of caulking technique and the like, and interposed between the magnetic pole core 25 and yoke core 27 to connect them. The link member 29 is formed with an engaging projection 31 and a recess 32 on two mutually opposite sides. The engaging projection 31 and recess 32 are formed into the same shape and dimensions as those of the recess 24 of the magnetic pole member 22 and the engaging projection 28 of the yoke member 26, respectively. Respective members are blanked in a sheet of steel plate in a state in which, as shown in Fig. 6, the magnetic poles 23, 23 of the magnetic pole members 22, 22 are opposite to each other; the rotor member 19 is arranged between the magnetic poles 23, 23; the substantially U-shaped yoke members 26, 26 are rotated by 90 degrees from the magnetic pole members 22, 22 with the rotor member 19 as a center, and arranged in connected relationship with the ends of the magnetic pole members 22, 22; and the rotor member 19 is arranged between the mutually opposite magnetic poles 23, 23 of the magnetic pole members 22, 22 and in an area surrounded by the magnetic pole members 22, 22 and the yoke members 26, 26; and at the same time, the link member 29 is blanked between the magnetic pole 23 of the magnetic pole member 22 and the yoke member 26.

At this stage, windings are wound on the magnetic poles 23 of the magnetic pole core 25 and on the rotor 6; respectively the engaging projection 31 of the link core 30 is press fitted into the recess 24 of the magnetic pole core 25, and the engaging projection 28 of the yoke core 27 is press fitted into the recess 32 of the link core 30. Then, the magnetic pole core 25 is fixed through the link core 30 to the yoke core 27 to form the stator 4; and thus obtained stator 4 is press fitted into the bracket 5. According to this constitution and assembling method, in blanking the component members for the stator 4 and the rotor 6 in steel plate, portions (corresponding to portions 63 of prior art) which heretofore have been discarded when stator material is blanked, that is, portions between rotor member and stator member can be effectively utilized to improve the yield of material, and at the same time, the dividing of the stator allows the workability to wind windings on the magnetic poles 23 to be improved. Although in the second embodiment, the link members 29 as the third members are blanked in the same material as the rotor and stator, the link members 29 might be blanked in another material. Further it might be formed by a lower-magnetic reluctance material, for example, ferrite and the like. Further, with reference to Figs. 9 to 12, a third embodiment of the present invention will be explained. The same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and thus the explanation thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 33 designates a magnetic pole member as a first member forming a magnetic pole 34 on which windings are wound. Provided on both sides of the magnetic pole 34 are arms 35, and a magnetic pole core 36 is formed by laminating and fixing the magnetic pole members 33 by the use of caulking technique and the like. Reference numeral 37 designates a recess formed on the magnetic pole 34 side of the arm 35, and an engaging projection 41 of a later-described yoke core 40 is press fitted into the recess 37. Reference numeral 38 designates recesses formed on both sides of the arm 35, and a projection 44 of a later-described yoke core 43 is press fitted into the recess 38. Reference numeral 39 designates a yoke member as a second member arranged substantially perpendicular to and between the arms 35 of the magnetic pole members 33. The yoke core 40 is formed by laminating and fixing the yoke members 39 by the use of caulking technique and the like, two engaging projections 41 are formed at both ends of the yoke member 39. Reference numeral 42 designates an approximately triangular joint member as a third member blanked between the magnetic pole 34 and the yoke member 39. A joint core 43 is formed by laminating and fixing the joint members 42 by the use of caulking technique and the like, and when the magnetic pole core 36 and the yoke core 40 are connected with each other, the joint core 43 is arranged between the end face of the magnetic pole core 36 and that of the yoke core 40. The joint member 42 is formed on its two sides perpendicular to each other with a projection 44 for engaging with the recess 38 formed at the end of the arm 35 of the magnetic pole core 36 and a recess 45 for engaging with the engaging projection 41 formed outside the yoke core 40. The projection 44 is formed into the same shape and dimensions as those of the recess 38 of the magnetic pole member 36, while the recess 45 is formed into the same shape and dimensions as those of the engaging projection 41 of the yoke core member 39. Respective members are blanked in a sheet of steel plate in a state in which, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the magnetic poles 34, 34 of the magnetic pole members 33, 33 are opposite to each other; the rotor member 19 is arranged between the magnetic poles 34, 34; and the yoke members 39, 39 are rotated by 90 degrees from the magnetic pole members 33, 33, and arranged between the mutually opposite arms 35, 35 of the magnetic pole members 33, 33 and at positions proximate to the rotor members 19; and at the same time, the joint member 42 is blanked between the magnetic pole 34 of the magnetic pole member 33 and the yoke core member 39. At this time, yoke core members 39, 39 and the rotor member 19 are located within a width H of the magnetic pole member 33. The magnetic pole core 36, the yoke core 40, the joint core 43 and the rotor 6 are formed by laminating and fixing the magnetic pole members 33, the yoke core members 39, the joint members 42 and the rotor members 19 by the use of caulking technique and the like, respectively. The engaging projection 41 on the inner side of the yoke core 40 is press fitted into the recess 37 on the end side of the magnetic pole core 36 to fix the magnetic pole core 36 to the yoke core 40; and at the same time, the projection 44 of the joint core 43 is pressed into the recess 38 formed on the end face of the magnetic pole core 36 for fixation, and the engaging projection 41 on the outer side of the yoke core 40 is press fitted into the recess 45 of the joint core 43 for fixation. According to this constitution and assembling method, in blanking the component members for the stator 4 and the rotor 6 in a steel plate, the stator 4 can be formed by arranging all the component material within the width H of the magnetic pole member 33, and moving laminated members for the stator 4, that is, the magnetic pole core 36 and the yoke core 40 toward the end of the arm 35 of the magnetic pole member 36 to be connected to each other. Therefore, portions (corresponding to portions 63 of prior art) which heretofore have been discarded when stator material is blanked, that is, portions between rotor member and stator member can be effectively utilized to improve the yield of material, and at the same time, the dividing of the stator allows the workability to wind windings on the magnetic poles 34 to be improved. Although in the third embodiment, the joint members 42 as the third members are blanked in the same material as the rotor and stator, the joint members 42 might be blanked in another material. Further, the joint members 42 might be formed by a lower-magnetic reluctance material, for example, ferrite and the like. Further, with reference to Figs. 13 to 16, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be explained. The same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and thus the explanation thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 46 designates a magnetic pole member as a first member on which windings are wound, and the magnetic pole member 46 is formed with a plurality of engaging projections 47 on the side non-opposite to the rotor member 19. Reference numeral 48 designates a yoke member as a second member formed between the mutually opposite magnetic pole members 46, which has a body portion 49 composing a side perpendicular to the magnetic pole members 46 and an arm portion 50 extending from both ends of the body portion 49, and which is formed into a U-shape. Reference numeral 51 designates recesses formed on the portions opposite to the engaging projections 47 of the magnetic pole member 46, and the recesses 51 are designed to be engaged with the engaging projections 47 when the stator is assembled. Respective members are blanked in a sheet of steel plate in a state in which, as shown in Fig. 14, ends of the arm portion 50 of the U-shaped yoke members 48, 48 are made proximate to each other and arranged to form a rectangular shape; the magnetic pole members 46, 46 are arranged in a manner to bridge both ends of the yoke members 48, 48 inside the rectangular shape; and the rotor member 19 is arranged between the magnetic pole members 46, 46. At this time, a dimension W between the body portions 49, 49 is set at a value substantially equal to the diameter of the rotor member 19 and the width dimension of the magnetic pole member 46 in a state where the ends of the arms 50 of the mutually opposite yoke members 48, 48 are made proximate to each other, and at the same time, in a state where the yoke members 48, 48 are arranged in opposite relationship. The magnetic pole core 52, the yoke core 53 and the rotor 6 are formed by laminating and fixing the magnetic pole members 46, the yoke core members 48 and the rotor members 19 by the use of caulking technique and the like, respectively, and the stator 4 is composed by press fitting the recesses 51 formed on the end side of the arms 50 of the yoke core 53 into the end most engaging projections 47 among the engaging projections 47 of the magnetic pole core 52.

For this reason, portions (corresponding to portions 63 of prior art) which heretofore have been discarded when stator material is blanked, that is, portions between rotor member and stator member can be reduced, thereby improving the yield of material used. Although in this embodiment, when members are blanked in a material, the ends of the arms 50, 50 of the yoke core members 48, 48 have been arranged in butted relationship, the ends might be arranged with a little space therebetween so long as the joining area of the arm 50 of the yoke core 53 with the magnetic pole core 52 does not become extremely small (that is, so long as the flow of magnetic flux is not prevented) when the yoke core 53 is moved to the end of the magnetic pole core 52 for fixation. According to the constitution of claim 1 of the present invention, the dividing of the stator allows the workability to wind windings on the poles to be improved, and the blanking of the yoke cores within the width of the magnetic pole cores allows the yield of material to be improved, whereby reducing the cost. The forming of curve portions at both ends of the yoke cores allows the width of the magnetic pole core to be made small and the yield of material to be improved, and at the same time, a distance between the magnetic pole/yoke core and the rotor to be secured when the yoke core is connected to the end of the magnetic pole core, and thus a leakage in magnetic flux from the rotor to the yoke core to be prevented.
