Abstract

A bus bar unit includes a bus bar holder provided on one side in an axial direction of a stator disposed in an annular shape around a central axis extending in a vertical direction, a bus bar extending along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction and fixed to the bus bar holder, and an external connection terminal connected to the bus bar and extending upward from the bus bar. The bus bar includes a wire and a terminal connector located on one end thereof and connected to the external connection terminal, and a lead wire connector located on the other end thereof and connected to a lead wire extending from the stator. The lead wire connector is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped. The lead wire connector includes a first end located on the external connection terminal side and a second end located on the opposite side of the first end. The second end includes an extension extending in a direction away from an opening of the lead wire connector.

Claims (16)

1. A bus bar unit which is provided in a motor, the bus bar unit comprising:

a bus bar holder provided on one side in an axial direction of a stator disposed in an annular shape around a central axis extending in a vertical direction;

a bus bar extending along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction and fixed to the bus bar holder; and

an external connection terminal connected to the bus bar and extending upward from the bus bar; wherein

the bus bar includes a wire and a terminal connector located on one end thereof and connected to the external connection terminal, and a lead wire connector located on the other end thereof and connected to a lead wire extending from the stator;

the lead wire connector is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped;

the lead wire connector includes a first end located on the external connection terminal side and a second end located on the opposite side of the first end; and

the second end includes an extension extending in a direction away from an opening of the lead wire connector.

2. The bus bar unit of claim 1 , wherein the bus bar includes the plurality of lead wire connectors, and the plurality of lead wire connectors are open in a radial direction.

3. The bus bar unit of claim 1 , wherein the bus bar is provided in plural, and the lead wire connector of the bus bar is open in the radial direction.

4. The bus bar unit of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of lead wire connectors are arranged on a concentric circle centered on the central axis when viewed in the axial direction.

5. The bus bar unit of claim 1 , wherein the bus bar holder includes a clamp to hold the bus bar by fitting the bus bar thereinto, and the bus bar includes the plurality of lead wire connectors and is held by the clamp between the lead wire connectors.

6. A motor comprising:

the bus bar unit according to claim 1 ;

the stator around which a coil wire is wound; and

a rotor facing the stator in the radial direction through a gap.
