Motor and method of manufacturing the same

1. A motor, comprising:

a rotor having a shaft which has its center on a center axis extending in one direction;

a stator which surrounds the rotor in the axial circumference, and has a plurality of coils; and

bus bars connecting coil ends extending from the coils,

wherein the bus bars are formed of a plate shape member bent in a thickness direction, a width direction of the bus bars being identical to an axial direction of the motor, and

each of the bus bars has a main body portion, and a coil end connection portion which extends from the main body portion and grips one of the coil ends at an opening that is open toward one direction within a plane perpendicular to the axial direction,

a bus bar holder which supports the bus bar,

the main body portion of the bus bar is supported by being sandwiched between a pair of bus bar fixing pieces of the bus bar holder in a thickness direction,

the bus bar fixing piece has a axially extending rib, and

among the pair of bus bar fixing pieces, the rib is provided at least to one bus bar fixing piece that is disposed on an opposite side from a direction in which the coil end connection portion of the bus bar is extended.

2. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein, among the bus bars, the main body portion of a phase bus bar extends along a circumferential direction, and has a first end and a second end, the first end being connected with the coil end connection portion and the second end provided with a terminal connection portion, and

the terminal connection portion is electrically connected with a terminal for a connection with an external device.

3. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bus bar holder has an axially penetrating notch to which the coil end is inserted, and

when viewed from the axial direction, the notch overlaps with the coil end connection portion of the bus bar, and the opening of the notch is open toward the same direction as the opening of the coil connection portion.

4. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bus bar holder has an axially penetrating through hole to which the coil end is inserted, and

when viewed from the axial direction, the through hole overlaps with the coil end connection portion of the bus bar.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of bus bars,

wherein the bus bars are disposed such that they do not overlap with one another in the axial direction.

6. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bus bar includes a neutral point bus bar and a phase bus bar, the neutral point bus bar being disposed between the terminal connection portions of the phase bus bar which is adjacently aligned in the circumferential direction.

7. The motor according to claim 6 ,

wherein the neutral point bus bar is disposed on a radially inner side than at least a portion of the main body portion of the phase bus bar, and electrically connected with the coil end.

8. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein one or two coils formed of a single conductive wire forms a coil group, and

one of a winding beginning side or a winding finishing side of the coil group is disposed on a radially outer side, and the other is disposed on a radially outer side.

9. The motor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bus bar has a neutral point bus bar for short-circuiting three neutral coil ends from the plurality of coils, and

the neutral point bus bar has two main body portions and three coil end connection portions, the two main body portions and the three coil end connection portions being alternately aligned in a length direction.

10. The motor according to claim 1 , further comprising a bus bar holder having a disc shape,

wherein the bus bar holder supports the bus bar, and has a through hole at the center through which the shaft passes, and

an arcuate portion extending in an arc shape is provided to at least a portion of the main body portion, the arcuate portion being disposed on an outer circumferential edge or an inner circumferential edge of the bus bar holder.

11. The motor according to claim 1 , further comprising a bus bar holder for supporting the bus bar,

the bus bar holder comprising:

a disc portion;

a through hole provided at the center of the disc portion, such that the shaft passes through the through hole;

an annular portion which surrounds the disc portion from the outer side with a gap therebetween; and

a bridge portion which extends in the radial direction and connects the disc portion with the annular portion,

wherein the main body portion is supported by the annular portion or the bridge portion, and

the coil end connection portion faces an opening which is defined by being surrounded by the disc portion, the annular portion, and the bridge portion.
