Abstract

A stator includes a cylindrical-shaped stator core including multiple teeth projecting in a radial direction of the stator core, multiple coils wound around each of the multiple teeth, multiple bus rings arranged at an axially end portion of the stator core and each electrically connected to each of the multiple coils, multiple wire pulled-out portions formed on both ends of the coil and pulled out towards the bus ring, and multiple connection terminal portions integrally formed on the respective bus rings in such a manner that the connection terminal portions are arranged at respective predetermined intervals in a peripheral direction of the stator core and each extending towards each wire pulled-out portion. A tip end portion of the connection terminal portion is bent so as to form a substantially U-shape for pinching the wire pulled-out portion.

Claims

1. A stator comprising;

a cylindrical-shaped stator core including a plurality of teeth projecting in a radial direction of the stator core;

a plurality of coils formed by a plurality of wires being wound around each of the plurality of teeth;

a plurality of bus rings arranged at an axially end portion of the stator core and each electrically connected to predetermined coils of the plurality of coils;

a plurality of wire pulled-out portions formed on both ends of the coil and pulled out towards the bus ring; and

a plurality of connection terminal portions integrally formed on the respective bus rings in such a manner that the connection terminal portions are arranged at respective predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the stator core and each extending towards the wire pulled-out portion;

a tip end portion of the connection terminal portion being bent so as to form a substantially U-shape for pinching the wire pulled-out portion.

2. A stator according to claim 1, wherein the bus ring is arranged on an outer peripheral side or an inner peripheral side relative to the plurality of coils.

3. A stator according to claim 2, further comprising:

an insulating member disposed between the coil and the stator core; and

a turning portion formed on the insulating member and projecting in an axial direction of the stator core, the wires pulled-out portion are turned to circumferential direction of the stator core at the turning portion as a turning point.

4. A stator according to claim 3, wherein the wire pulled-out portion is turned at the turning portion to an opposite direction to a winding direction of the coil at the axially end portion of the stator core.

5. A stator according to claim 4, wherein the insulating member includes a holding portion that holds a portion of the wire pulled-out portion close to an end side thereof relative to a portion turned by the turning point.

6. A stator according to claim 5, wherein the tip end portion of the connection terminal portion formed on the bus ring pinches the wire pulled-out portion so as to be made contact therewith between the turning point and the holding portion in the circumferential direction of the stator core.

7. A stator according to claim 6, wherein the turning portion includes a guide portion for guiding the wire pulled-out portion to the holding portion from the turning portion along the axial direction of the stator core and away from the stator core.

8. A stator according to claim 7, wherein the turning point of the insulating member is formed at a portion away from the stator core in the axial direction relative to a portion at which the wire pulled-out portion is pulled out from the coil.

9. A stator according to claim 8, wherein the tip end portion of the connection terminal portion formed on the bus ring includes a substantially U-shape opening towards the coil in the axial direction of the stator core.

10. A stator according to claim 9, wherein the holding portion of the insulating member includes a substantially U-shape opening towards an opposite side to the coil in the axial direction of the stator core.

17. A motor comprising the stator according to claim 1.

18. A motor comprising the stator according to claim 10.

11. A stator core comprising:

a cylindrical-shaped stator core including a plurality of teeth projecting in a radial direction;

a plurality of coils formed by a plurality of wires being wound around each of the plurality of teeth;

a first bus ring including a first connection terminal portion electrically connected to a first wire pulled-out portion on a winding start side of the coil;
