Rotary electrical machine

1. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a rotor;

a stator that includes:

an annular stator core that is disposed so as to surround said rotor; and

a plurality of coils that are wound onto said stator core;

an insulating member that includes an annular holder portion in which a groove is formed on one surface so as to extend circumferentially, said insulating member being disposed on a first axial end of said stator such that a second surface of said holder portion is oriented toward said stator; and

a plurality of connecting terminals that are each held by one of a plurality of terminal holding portions disposed radially outside of the groove such that the terminal holding portions and the groove do not overlap as viewed in the axial direction, the terminal holding portion being a part of said insulating member; wherein the insulating member comprising a radially inner wall and radially outer wall, the terminal holding portions extend radially outside from the radially outer wall;

wherein coil terminals of said plurality of coils each extend outward from said coils, are led around circumferentially through said groove, and are connected to connecting terminals that are subject to connection therewith among said plurality of connecting terminals.

2. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein a notch is formed on said holder portion so as to communicate radially between said groove and an external portion of said holder portion, and said coil terminals that extend outward from said coils are led into said groove through said notch.

3. The rotary electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein:

said stator core is constituted by core blocks in which a tooth portion protrudes radially inward from an inner circumferential wall surface of an circular arc-shaped core back portion, said core blocks being arranged into an annular shape such that circumferential side surfaces of said core back portions are butted against each other;

said coils are configured by winding a conductor wire around said tooth portion and insulators that are disposed on first and second axial end surfaces of said core blocks;

a securing portion is formed on said insulators that are disposed on said first axial end surfaces of said core blocks; and

said insulating member includes a leg portion that comprises a fixing hook on a protruding end that protrudes outward from said holder portion toward a second axial end, said insulating member being disposed on said first axial end of said stator by fitting said fixing hook into said securing portion.

4. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein:

said stator core is constituted by core blocks in which a tooth portion protrudes radially inward from an inner circumferential wall surface of an circular arc-shaped core back portion, said core blocks being arranged into an annular shape such that circumferential side surfaces of said core back portions are butted against each other;

said coils are configured by winding a conductor wire around said tooth portion and insulators that are disposed on first and second axial end surfaces of said core blocks;

a securing portion is formed on said insulators that are disposed on said first axial end surfaces of said core blocks; and

said insulating member includes a leg portion that comprises a fixing hook on a protruding end that protrudes outward from said holder portion toward a second axial end, said insulating member being disposed on said first axial end of said stator by fitting said fixing hook into said securing portion.

5. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connecting terminals comprises three connecting terminals which are disposed circumferentially at a pitch of 90 degrees.
