Connection Terminal Flat Setting Surface Wire Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional connection terminals for electrical wires in stators often result in unstable electrical connections due to incorrect wire positioning, leading to increased resistance and abnormal heat generation during crimping.
Innovation Solution
A connection terminal design featuring a bottom wall with a flat setting surface and upstanding crimping pieces, where the flat surface width satisfies the condition W ≥ (N-1) × 2R, and optional projections for precise wire positioning, ensuring wires are securely held and crimped without displacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electrical wires are positioned on a conventional U-shaped connection terminal without a flat setting surface, then the structure is simple, but the wires can move and displace to one crimping piece causing unstable electrical connection
Solution Approach 1:
The flat setting surface is provided on the bottom wall before the crimping operation to preliminarily position and stabilize the electrical wires. This preliminary positioning action prevents wire displacement during crimping, ensuring that wires are correctly positioned between the crimping pieces from the start, thereby improving electrical connection stability without requiring complex additional components.
2Ease of operation
If electrical wires are allowed to move freely on the connection terminal, then the ease of insertion is improved, but the wires may close contact and cause resistance increase and abnormal heat
Solution Approach 1:
The flat setting surface provides a specific localized region with improved positioning properties. This local quality enhancement creates a stable platform that maintains proper wire spacing and prevents harmful close contact, thereby reducing resistance and heat generation while still allowing easy wire insertion onto the flat surface.

AI summary
The present invention provides a connection terminal for holding a plurality of electrical wires ends in place prior to crimping the connection terminal without displacement of the wires ends, and a stator utilizing the connection terminal. The stator includes a distributor unit for supplying electric current to a coil unit through the electrical wires. The distributor unit has the connection terminal to be connected with the wires ends. The connection terminal has a bottom wall with a setting surface of a flat surface prior to crimping the connection terminal. The stator has a guide surface disposed on a brim of a bobbin adjacent to a holder for holding the electrical wires. The guide surface is flush with the flat surface of the connection terminal.
