Motor incuding bearing supported by busbar holder

1. A motor comprising:

a rotor arranged to rotate about a rotation axis;

a stator core including a plurality of teeth;

a sensor magnet;

a plurality of coils, each defined by a conductor wire wound around a separate one of the teeth; and

a busbar unit arranged to supply a drive current to each coil; wherein

the busbar unit includes:

a plurality of coil connection busbars, each including a conductor wire connection portion connected with an end portion of the conductor wire; and

a busbar holder made of an insulating material and arranged to support the plurality of coil connection busbars;

the busbar holder includes a bearing holder arranged to hold a bearing arranged to rotatably support a shaft arranged to rotate integrally with the rotor;

the bearing is arranged to overlap with at least one of the plurality of coil connection busbars in a radial direction;

the busbar holder and the bearing holder are provided as a single monolithic member made from the insulating material;

at least a portion of the bearing holder is adjacent to the bearing in an axial direction with at least the portion of the bearing holder being arranged axially between the sensor magnet and the bearing;

the busbar holder includes a plurality of sensor holders, each holding a separate one of a plurality of sensors arranged to detect a rotational position of the rotor by detecting the sensor magnet;

the busbar unit further includes a plurality of sensor connection busbars arranged to input and output electrical signals to or from the sensors held in the respective sensor holders; and

the plurality of sensor connection busbars includes a base portion substantially in the shape of a circle or an arc and a terminal portion arranged to extend radially outward from the base portion, and the base portion overlaps the bearing holder in a radial direction.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sensors held in the respective sensor holders is arranged radially outwardly opposite a sensor magnet arranged to rotate integrally with the rotor, with a gap between each sensor and the sensor magnet.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the plurality of sensor connection busbars includes sensor connection portions each directly connected with a terminal of a separate one of the sensors; and

the busbar holder includes second exposure holes defined at positions corresponding to those of the sensor connection portions to allow the sensor connection portions to be exposed on both axial sides, the second exposure holes passing through the busbar holder in the axial direction.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the plurality of sensor connection busbars includes sensor connection portions each directly connected with a terminal of a separate one of the sensors; and

the busbar holder includes opening holes defined at positions corresponding to those of the sensor connection portions to allow the sensor connection portions to be exposed on one axial side.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the plurality of sensor connection busbars are arranged one above another along the axial direction.

6. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of coil connection busbars and at least one of the plurality of sensor connection busbars are arranged one above another along the axial direction.

7. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the busbar unit further includes another electronic component other than the plurality of sensors; and

the other electronic component is arranged on a side of the busbar holder opposite to a side thereof facing the stator core.

8. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the motor is arranged in a transmission of a vehicle or is arranged to drive a clutch of the vehicle.
