Terminal assembly for motor of hybrid vehicle
The present invention features a terminal assembly for a motor of a hybrid vehicle as a wire connection structure of a concentrated winding motor, which can maintain a gap between a plurality of terminals using a clip and a holder in an insulated manner. Such a terminal assembly for a motor of a hybrid vehicle, includes: an open type holder with an open top; a plurality of terminals concentrically arranged and inserted into the holder; and a plurality of clips, each inserted between the terminals in an insulated manner to maintain a gap between the terminals.
1. A terminal assembly for a motor of a hybrid vehicle, the terminal assembly comprising:
an open type holder with an open top;
a plurality of terminals concentrically arranged and inserted into the holder; and
a plurality of clips, each inserted between the terminals in an insulated manner to maintain a gap between adjacent terminals,
wherein the open type holder further includes a bottom plate and a plurality of insertion holes formed on the bottom plate thereof at regular intervals in the circumferential direction such that the leg portion of each clip is inserted into each of the insertion holes.
2. The terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the clips includes a leg portion and a top plate,
the leg portion having a plurality of legs and being inserted between the terminals;
the top plate is placed on the top of the terminals, and
the leg portion and the top plate are integrally molded with each other.
3. The terminal assembly of claim 2 , wherein each of the clips further includes separation holes that are formed on the top plate, which corresponds to the boundary of the leg portion, the separation holes being formed by punching when the leg portion of the clip is inserted into the terminals.
4. The terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein the open type holder further includes an inner end and a plurality of fixing grooves formed at a top of the inner end at regular intervals in the circumferential direction such that a connection terminal extending vertically from each terminal is inserted into each fixing groove.
5. The terminal assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an insulating material molded over the top of the clips and the terminals.
6. The terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein the terminals comprise one or more of a U-phase terminal, a V-phase terminal, a W-phase terminal, and an N-phase terminal.
7. The terminal assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a multiplicity of clips.
8. A terminal assembly for a concentrated wiring electric motor, the terminal assembly comprising:
an open type holder having an open top;
a plurality of terminals concentrically arranged and inserted into the holder; and
a plurality of clips, each of the plurality of clips being inserted between the terminals so as to maintain a gap between adjacent terminals and being circumferentially spaced from each other,
wherein the open type holder further includes a bottom plate and a plurality of insertion holes that are formed in the bottom plate at regular intervals in the circumferential direction; and wherein the leg portion of each clip is inserted into the respective insertion hole.
9. The terminal assembly of claim 8 , wherein each of the clips includes a leg portion and a top plate, the leg portion having a plurality of legs and wherein when said clips are being inserted, each leg portion is inserted between adjacent terminals and the top plate is disposed on the top of the terminals.
10. The terminal assembly of claim 9 , wherein the leg portion and the top plate are integrally molded with each other.
11. The terminal assembly of claim 9 , wherein each of the clips further includes separation holes that are formed in the top plate, which corresponds to the boundary of the leg portion, and wherein the separation holes are formed by punching when the leg portion of the clip is inserted into the terminals.
12. The terminal assembly of claim 8 , wherein the open type holder further includes an inner end and a plurality of fixing grooves formed at a top of the inner end at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, wherein each terminal includes at least one connection terminal that extends vertically from each terminal, and wherein said at least one connection terminal is disposed in a respective fixing groove.
13. The terminal assembly of claim 8 , further comprising an insulating material, the insulating material being molded over the top of the clips and the terminals.
14. The terminal assembly of claim 8 , wherein the terminals comprise one or more of a U-phase terminal, a V-phase terminal, a W-phase terminal, and an N-phase terminal.
15. The terminal assembly of claim 8 , further comprising a multiplicity of clips.
