Abstract

Disclosed is a motor, which includes: a housing; a support plate fixed on the housing; an upper busbar holder holding the upper busbar and defined on the support plate; a lower busbar holder holding the lower busbar; one end of the upper busbar is connected to the lower busbar, and the other end of the upper busbar is connected to an external power supply; one end of the lower busbar is connected to the coil lead wire, and the other end of the lower busbar is connected to the upper busbar, the upper busbar holder has a first through-hole penetrating in the axial direction, the support plate has a second through-hole penetrating in the axial direction; the other end of the lower busbar passes through the first through-hole and the second through-hole, and is connected to one end of the upper busbar.

Claims (30)

1 . A motor, comprising:

a housing;

a support plate, which is fixed on the housing;

an upper busbar holder, holding an upper busbar and defined on the support plate;

a lower busbar holder, holding a lower busbar; wherein

one end of the upper busbar is connected to the lower busbar, and the other end of the upper busbar is connected to an external power supply;

one end of the lower busbar is connected to a coil lead wire, and the other end of the lower busbar is connected to the upper busbar,

wherein,

the upper busbar holder has a first through-hole penetrating in an axial direction, the support plate has a second through-hole penetrating in the axial direction, and the first through-hole and the second through-hole are at least partially overlapped in the axial direction;

the other end of the lower busbar passes through the first through-hole and the second through-hole, and is connected to the one end of the upper busbar.

2 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein,

an inner circumferential surface of the housing is configured with a stepped component;

the support plate is mounted on the stepped component, and the upper busbar holder is mounted on an upper surface of the support plate.

3 . The motor according to claim 2 , wherein,

the upper busbar holder is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate through interference fitting,

rib components are defined on an inner circumference of the upper busbar holder and a position radially opposite to the first through-hole, and the rib components abut against the support plate.

4 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein,

the one end of the upper busbar is configured with a first guiding surface inclined in the axial direction, and the other end of the lower busbar is configured with a second guiding surface inclined in the axial direction and facing the first guiding surface.

5 . The motor according to claim 4 , wherein,

the one end of the upper busbar is a bent structure, and a surface of the bent structure facing the lower busbar defines the first guiding surface.

6 . The motor according to claim 2 , wherein,

the number of the upper busbars is the same as the number of the second through-holes, and both of the upper busbars and the second through-holes are respectively provided in plurality, each of the upper busbars is L-shaped, and at least a portion of one L-shaped-arm of the different upper busbars is axially opposed to the different second through-holes, the other L-shaped-arm is axially displaced from the second through-hole, and the other L-shaped-arm is connected to the external power supply.

7 . The motor according to claim 6 , wherein,

a portion of the upper busbar that is opposite to the second through-hole extends axially to the first through-hole.

8 . The motor according to claim 2 , wherein

a portion of the upper busbar holder extends into the second through-hole along an edge of the second through-hole.

9 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein,

the upper busbar holder is integrally defined on a lower surface of the support plate, and an outer circumference of the support plate is interference fitted with the housing.

10 . The motor according to claim 9 , wherein,

a portion of the upper busbar holder passes through the second through-hole along an edge of the second through-hole, and is hooked on an upper surface of the support plate.
