Motor
First Claim
1. A motor comprising:
- a stator portion including an armature having a substantially cylindrical shape;
a rotor portion arranged at an inner side of the armature;
a bearing mechanism arranged to support the rotor portion in a rotatable manner substantially coaxially about a central axis with respect to the stator portion; and
an annular terminal block having a substantially annular shape arranged at one axial end of the armature, the annular terminal block arranged to guide a bus wire extending from the armature and to connect the bus wire to an external power source;
whereinthe annular terminal block includes;
a bus wire guiding portion having a substantially annular shape arranged along the armature, and including a guiding configuration in which a plurality of bus wires of a common phase are guided via a common passage having a substantially arcuate shape; and
a connection terminal portion arranged to connect the plurality of bus wires of a common phase extending from the bus wire guiding portion with the external power source.

Abstract
A motor includes a plurality of bus wires of a common phase which are put together before being guided in a common passage to minimize the space arranged to guide the bus wires. Also, the bus wires of a common phase are easily insulated from those of different phases, and an axial height of the motor is reduced. Further, a radial width necessary to guide the bus wires is reduced, and an axial height of the motor including a sensor portion which detects a rotary position of the motor is reduced. Also, the bus wires are easily extended from the armature, and an amount of work required to connect the bus wires and the terminals is reduced. Furthermore, the connection terminal portion does not interfere with the bus wires when they are being guided.
