Description of the Related Art In a fan device having a housing to which a stator is fixed and a rotor with blades pivotally supported by a shaft via a shaft, conventionally, a fan unit having a cylindrical portion provided upright on the housing is conventionally used. The shaft was rotatably pivoted on the inner peripheral surface via a bearing. [0003] However, the cost of the bearing is high because the bearing is expensive.
Disassembly was troublesome, and replacement of parts was not easy. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a fan device which is easy to assemble and can be manufactured at low cost. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a fan device including a housing to which a stator is fixed, and a bladed rotor pivotally supported on the housing via a shaft. A thrust receiving member that rotatably supports a shaft on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the housing via a slide bearing and receives a thrust force by slidingly contacting the base end surface of the shaft is attached to the base of the cylindrical portion. An engaging claw piece which is fitted into an end inner peripheral surface, and which can resiliently engage and disengage with an engaging hole formed in a proximal inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion is provided on an outer periphery of the thrust receiving member. By engaging the engaging claw of the thrust receiving member with the engaging hole of the cylindrical portion in a state where the slide bearing is pressed against the axial inward end surface of the tip of the cylindrical portion by the thrust receiving member, Thrust bearing member and plain bearing are circled The thrust receiving member is provided with a detachable tool insertion portion for applying a rotational torque to the thrust receiving member to detach the engaging claw piece from the engaging hole on the base end surface of the thrust receiving member. . When the thrust receiving member is inserted into the inner peripheral surface on the base end side of the cylindrical portion of the housing and pushed in, the engaging claw is locked in the engaging hole, and the slide bearing is connected to the cylindrical portion. The thrust receiving member can be pressed and fixed to the end face in the axial direction with the thrust receiving member, and the thrust receiving member can slide against the base end face of the shaft to receive the thrust force. From this state, if a screwdriver or the like is inserted into the tool insertion portion and rotated in the circumferential direction, the engaging claw pieces
Since the member gets on the inner peripheral surface on the base end side of the cylindrical portion and separates from the engagement hole, the thrust receiving member is pulled out from the inner peripheral surface on the base end side, and disassembly for component replacement or the like can be easily performed. The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments. FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a fan device according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a housing made of plastic or the like.
It has a cylindrical portion 3 erected on the support portion 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a stator.
The stator coil 8 is wound around the stator core 5 via a pair of insulators 6 and 7. The stator 4 is externally fitted to the cylindrical portion 3,
An elastic protrusion 10 protruding from a tip end cylindrical portion 9 of the insulator 6.
Is locked resiliently by engaging a concave portion 11 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end of the cylindrical portion 3. The hanging piece of one insulator 7
One end of a terminal 13 is connected to the circuit board 14 via 12, and the other end of the terminal 13 is connected to the stator coil 8. The circuit board 14 is fixed to the housing 1. Reference numeral 15 denotes a bowl-shaped rotor. A plurality of blades 16 project from an outer peripheral surface of the rotor 15. In addition, rotor 15
The rotor magnet 18 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rotor magnet 18 via an annular yoke 17, and the outer peripheral surface of the stator core 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the rotor magnet 18 face each other with a small gap. A shaft hole 19 is provided in the center hole 19 of the rotor 15.
20 tips are fixed. The shaft 20 is rotatably supported on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 3 via a slide bearing 21, and a retaining ring 27 is attached to a base end thereof. Then, the rotor 15 is rotated by the control current flowing through the stator coil 8 via the circuit board 14, and the air is blown by the blades 16. The sliding bearing 21 is composed of the cylindrical sleeve member 22 and the thin cylindrical cover member 23 covering the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve member 22. The sleeve member 22 has wear resistance. An iron-copper based sintered alloy is used. The sleeve body 22 has a concave peripheral portion 24 that opens in the outer radial direction. The cover member 23 has two small through holes 25 corresponding to the concave peripheral portion 24 in the circumferential direction. You. One small through hole is formed in the annular oil vacant space 26 formed by the concave peripheral portion 24 and the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 23.
The oil R is injected and retained via 25. At this time, the other small through-hole 25 becomes an exhaust hole. The small through hole 25 has a diameter such that the oil R injected into the vacant space 26 does not easily leak when the fan is assembled.
Is formed. [0020] In this case, the oil R is previously supplied to the sliding bearing.
Since the sliding bearing 21 can be mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 3 after the oil is injected into the cylindrical portion 3, there is an advantage that the assembling operation is easier than in the case where oil is injected after assembling the fan. In addition, since a sufficient amount of oil R is held in the vacant space 26, the sliding bearing 21 does not run out of oil even when used for a long time, and the durability of the shaft 20, the sliding bearing 21 and the like is improved. There is also. The cylindrical portion 3 has an inner flange portion 32 having an L-shaped cross section and an intermediate shaft hole 30 into which the slide bearing 21 is inserted.
And a thrust receiving member having a diameter larger than the intermediate shaft hole 30.
And a proximal shaft hole 31 into which 29 is fitted. The shaft 20 is inserted into the inner peripheral surface 33 of the distal end inner flange portion 32, and oil leakage from the sliding bearing 21 to the outside is caused by the inner peripheral surface 33 facing with a small gap and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 20. A labyrinth seal groove 34 is formed to prevent this. Next, the thrust receiving member 29 is made of a fitting body 35 integrally formed of a resin material such as polybutylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile / butadiene styrene copolymer, or polypropylene, and a low friction material made of a polyphenylene sulphite resin composite material. A wear-resistant support 36; The fitting body 35 has a cylindrical peripheral wall portion 37 that can be fitted in the base shaft hole 31, a bowl-shaped central holding portion 38 in which the support body 36 is held in a fitted state, and a peripheral wall portion 37. And a tapered connecting portion 39 connecting the central holding portion 38 to the base holding surface of the central holding portion 38. A detachable tool insertion portion 43 for applying a rotational torque to the thrust receiving member 29 is recessed in the base end surface. . The tool insertion portion 43 is formed in various shapes such as a plus, hexagon, and minus, as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C, corresponding to the tip shape of a tool such as a screwdriver. . As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, an engaging claw piece which can be resiliently disengaged from a rectangular engaging hole 40 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the base shaft hole 31. 41 protrudes from the outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion 37. In the illustrated example, the engaging hole 40 is formed in the base end of the cylindrical portion 3 in a penetrating manner, and the engaging hole 40 and the corresponding engaging claw piece 41 are respectively formed in the circumferential direction. A plurality is formed in the direction. Further, axial slits 44, 44 are formed along the side edges 46, 46 of the engagement claw 41, and the hanging piece 45 including the engagement claw 41 is formed in a radial direction. Elastically deformable. The engaging claw 41 gradually projects outward (from the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 37) from the side edge portions 46, 46 to the central portion 47, and from the front end portion (upward in the figure). It is formed so as to gradually protrude outward toward the base end (below the figure). The thrust receiving member 29 is inserted into the base shaft hole 31.
4 and pushed in, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4, the engaging claw piece 41 rides on the proximal shaft hole 31 and once escapes in the inner diameter direction, and then engages as shown by the solid line. Dovetail piece 41
However, when they are aligned with the engagement holes 40, they are restored in the outer diameter direction and locked. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the sliding bearing 21 is formed on the stepped surface 48 of the peripheral wall 37 of the thrust receiving member 29.
