[0040] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] An embodiment of the present application provides a motor.

[0042] Figure 1 is a disassembled schematic diagram of the motor 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an assembled motor 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 31 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the motor 100 according to the embodiment of the present application cut along the central axis OO'.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor 100 includes a housing 1 and a stator assembly 2 .

[0044] The housing 1 has an outer peripheral wall 11 extending circumferentially around the central axis OO′. The housing 1 has an opening 111 on one axial side of the outer peripheral wall 11 and a bottom 112 on the other axial side of the outer peripheral wall 11 .

[0045] The stator assembly 2 is provided as a molded product, and includes a stator 21, a bus bar assembly 22, and a mold resin 23. The bus bar assembly 22 is supported by the stator 21, and the mold resin 23 covers the bus bar assembly 22 in the axial direction.

[0046] The bus bar assembly 22 includes a bus bar 221 made of metal and a bus bar holder 222 for holding the bus bar 221 .

[0047] The molded resin 23 is located on one axial side of the stator 21 and has a protrusion 231 protruding toward one axial side. In a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction, the projection of the bus bar 221 and the projection 231 at least partially overlap, and the space between the bus bar 221 and the protrusion 231 is filled with the molded resin 23.

[0048] According to the motor 100 in the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion 231 is provided on the surface of the molded resin 23, and a metal bus bar 221 is buried in the protrusion 231. Since the projection of the bus bar 221 and the projection of the protrusion 231 at least partially overlap, the bus bar 221 can axially support the protrusion 231, thereby increasing the strength of the protrusion 231. When the assembly tool abuts against the surface of the protrusion 231 of the molded resin 23 and applies pressure, the molded resin 23 is not easy to break, thereby facilitating the assembly of the molded stator assembly 2 to the housing 1.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, the bus bar 221 has a claw 2211, and the claw 2211 can clamp the coil lead wire 4 of the stator 21. The claw 2211 can extend in the axial direction and / or the claw 2211 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, for example, the claw 2211 extends in the circumferential direction. On a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction, the projection of the protrusion 231 and the projection of the claw 2211 overlap at least partially. As a result, when the claw 2211 extends in the axial direction, the axial rigidity can be increased, thereby improving the support strength of the protrusion 231; in addition, when the claw 2211 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the force area of ​​the claw 2211 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction can be increased, and the support strength of the protrusion 231 can also be improved. In addition, the wrapping of the molded resin 23 makes the connection between the claw 2211 and the coil lead wire more reliable.

[0050] In the present application, the claw portion 2211 may extend axially into the protrusion 231. Thus, the claw portion 2211 has a better supporting effect on the protrusion 231, further improving the mechanical strength of the protrusion 231.

[0051] In the present application, the number of claws 2211 is more than 2, for example, the number of claws 2211 is 3. More than 2 claws 2211 are equidistantly distributed in the circumferential direction. Thus, the claws 2211 are equidistantly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the protrusions 231 are also equidistantly distributed in the axial direction, so that when the molded stator assembly 2 is pressed into the housing 1 using an assembly tool, the molded stator assembly 2 is subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the pressing accuracy. In addition, when three protrusions 231 are formed, a supporting surface is formed by the surfaces of the three protrusions 231 to ensure stability during the process of pressing the molded stator assembly 2 into the housing 1.

[0052] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the coil lead wire 4 of the motor 100 being clamped by the claw portion 2211 is shown. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The diagram is a schematic diagram showing that the coil lead wire 4 in the motor 100 is not clamped by the claw portion 2211 .

[0053] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the coil lead wires 4 are arranged in multiple groups in the circumferential direction, for example, at least 2 groups, each group includes multiple coil lead wires 4, for example, each group includes at least 2 coil lead wires 4, and the same group of coil lead wires 4 are led out from the same tooth gap 5 and clamped by the same claw 2211. Thus, a winding method that matches the protrusion 231 can be formed, and the claw 2211 is convenient for clamping the coil lead wire 4 while supporting the protrusion 231.

[0054] In addition, the claw portion 2211 has a first arm portion 2211 (a) and a second arm portion 2211 (b) extending in opposite directions in the circumferential direction, respectively, and the first arm portion 2211 (a) and the second arm portion 2211 (b) respectively clamp different coil lead wires 4 in the same group. As a result, the claw portion 2211 has a certain extension in the circumferential direction, and the extension direction is toward the opposite side, which reliably supports the protrusion 231 with an increased circumferential width and facilitates the support of the coil lead wire.

[0055] Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The stator assembly 2 in the motor 100 is shown as a schematic diagram of a top view along the axial OO' direction.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the molded resin 23 is annular, and its radial inner side and radial outer side correspond to the inner ring A and outer ring B of the annular shape respectively. The protrusion 231 extends from the radial outer side to the radial inner side (for example, the protrusion 231 extends radially), and the protrusion 231 may include a main body 2311 and a first auxiliary reinforcement 2312 located on one radial side of the main body 2311 in the radial direction. In the circumferential direction, the width of the main body 2311 is greater than the width of the first auxiliary reinforcement 2312. In this way, the strength of the protrusion 231 can be ensured, and the amount of the molded resin 23 can be saved.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the main body 2311 is located radially outward relative to the first auxiliary reinforcement 2312, that is, the projection of the main body 2311 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the claw 2211. Thus, the radial position of the main body 2311 can be set in accordance with the radial position of the claw 2211, and the claw 2211 is located radially outward, so that there is enough working space when the claw 2211 is used to clamp the coil lead wire 4.

[0058] In this application, if Figure 6 As shown, the molded resin 23 further has an auxiliary protrusion 232 on one axial side, the auxiliary protrusion 232 extends from the radial outer side to the radial inner side (for example, the auxiliary protrusion 232 extends in the radial direction), and is located between adjacent protrusions 231 in the circumferential direction, and the circumferential width of the auxiliary protrusion 232 is smaller than the circumferential width of the main body 2311, for example, the circumferential width of the auxiliary protrusion 232 can be smaller than or equal to the circumferential width of the first auxiliary reinforcement 2312. In this way, the pressure bearing strength of the molded resin can be enhanced, and resin materials can be saved.

[0059] In this application, if Figure 1 As shown, the motor 100 may further include a rotor 3, which is configured to be radially opposite to the stator assembly 2. Figure 1As shown, the rotor 3 is located radially inside the stator assembly 2. For detailed description of the rotor 3, reference may be made to the related art.

[0060] It is worth noting that the above only exemplifies the composition and structure of the motor related to the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto, and appropriate modifications can be made based on the above embodiments. In addition, the above only exemplifies the various components, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the specific contents of each component can also refer to the relevant technology; the motor can also include other components, such as bearings, etc., which can be specifically referred to the relevant technology, and the description is omitted here.

[0061] The present application is described above in conjunction with specific implementation methods, but it should be clear to those skilled in the art that these descriptions are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application based on the spirit and principles of the present application, and these modifications and variations are also within the scope of the present application.
