The two wall portions 59 formed in each insulator 52 are located on the same plane and have the same shape.
図5、図7に示すように、コイル53の外周側には、同相のコイル53同士を繋ぐ渡り線55U、渡り線55V、渡り線55Wが壁部59によってガイドされて引き回される。渡り線55UはU相コイル53U同士を繋ぐ導線55であり、渡り線55VはV相コイル53V同士を繋ぐ導線55であり、渡り線55WはW相コイル53W同士を繋ぐ導線55である。各インシュレータ52には、渡り線55U、55V、55Wをガイドする渡り線ガイド部として機能する壁部59が周方向に離間した2箇所に設けられる。
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the connecting wire 55 </ b> U, the connecting wire 55 </ b> V, and the connecting wire 55 </ b> W that connect the coils 53 having the same phase are guided and guided around the wall portion 59. The connecting wire 55U is a conducting wire 55 that connects the U-phase coils 53U, the connecting wire 55V is a conducting wire 55 that connects the V-phase coils 53V, and the connecting wire 55W is a conducting wire 55 that connects the W-phase coils 53W. Each insulator 52 is provided with two wall portions 59 functioning as a crossover guide portion that guides the crossover wires 55U, 55V, and 55W at two locations separated in the circumferential direction.
例えば、U相コイル53Uと別のU相コイル53Uの間に渡される渡り線55Uは、U相コイル53Uが巻回されたインシュレータ52に設けられた隙間S1から外周側に引き出され、2つの壁部59のうちの1つ(例えば、隣のV相コイル53V側の壁部59)に掛けられて壁部59の径方向外側で隣のインシュレータ52側へ引き回される。そして、V相コイル53VとW相コイル53Wが設けられた2つのインシュレータ52に設けられた4枚の壁部59にガイドされて、次のU相コイル53Uが設けられたインシュレータ52まで引き回される。そして、次のU相コイル53Uが設けられたインシュレータ52に設けられた壁部59(例えば、W相コイル53W側の壁部59)に掛けられて、隙間S1からU相コイル53U側に引き込まれる。
For example, the connecting wire 55U passed between the U-phase coil 53U and another U-phase coil 53U is drawn to the outer peripheral side from the gap S1 provided in the insulator 52 around which the U-phase coil 53U is wound. It is hung on one of the portions 59 (for example, the wall portion 59 on the side of the adjacent V-phase coil 53V) and is routed to the side of the adjacent insulator 52 outside the wall portion 59 in the radial direction. And it is guided to the four wall parts 59 provided in the two insulators 52 provided with the V-phase coil 53V and the W-phase coil 53W, and is drawn to the insulator 52 provided with the next U-phase coil 53U. The And it is hung on the wall part 59 (for example, wall part 59 by the side of the W-phase coil 53W) provided in the insulator 52 in which the next U-phase coil 53U was provided, and is drawn in from the clearance S1 to the U-phase coil 53U side. .
U相コイル53Uと別のU相コイル53Uの間に渡される渡り線55Uには、導線55を壁部59の内周側に押し込んだ押し込み部60が形成される。上述したように、各インシュレータ52には周方向に離間した2箇所の壁部59が設けられ、これら2箇所の壁部59の間の隙間S1から、渡り線55Uの弛み部分を壁部59の径方向内側へ押し込むことにより、押し込み部60が形成される。渡り線55Uの弛み部分を隙間S1に押し込んで押し込み部60を形成することにより、渡り線55Uの弛みが抑制される。従って、渡り線55Uが外周側へ拡がることを抑制できる。本形態では、U相コイル53Uと別のU相コイル53Uの間には隙間S1が2箇所存在するため、2箇所に押し込み部60が形成される。
The connecting portion 55U passed between the U-phase coil 53U and another U-phase coil 53U is formed with a pushing portion 60 in which the conducting wire 55 is pushed into the inner peripheral side of the wall portion 59. As described above, each insulator 52 is provided with two wall portions 59 that are spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the slack portion of the crossover 55 </ b> U is removed from the gap S <b> 1 between these two wall portions 59. The pushing portion 60 is formed by pushing inward in the radial direction. By pushing the slack portion of the connecting wire 55U into the gap S1 to form the pushing portion 60, the slackness of the connecting wire 55U is suppressed. Therefore, it can suppress that the crossover 55U spreads to the outer peripheral side. In this embodiment, since there are two gaps S1 between the U-phase coil 53U and another U-phase coil 53U, the pushing portions 60 are formed at two places.
渡り線55V、55Wは、渡り線55Uと同様の形状に引き回される。すなわち、渡り線55V、55Wは、隙間S1から外周側に引き出され、壁部59に掛けられて壁部59の径方向外側へ引き出され、壁部59にガイドされて壁部59の径方向外側で周方向に引き回される。また、2つのインシュレータ52を経由する際、2箇所に押し込み部60が形成される。そして、同相の別のコイル53が設けられたインシュレータ52に形成された壁部59に掛けられて、隙間S1からコイル53側へ引き込まれる。
The connecting wires 55V and 55W are routed in the same shape as the connecting wire 55U. That is, the connecting wires 55V and 55W are drawn out from the gap S1 to the outer peripheral side, hung on the wall portion 59, drawn out radially outward of the wall portion 59, guided by the wall portion 59, and radially outward of the wall portion 59. Is pulled around in the circumferential direction. Further, when passing through the two insulators 52, the pushing portions 60 are formed at two places. And it is hung on the wall part 59 formed in the insulator 52 in which the other coil 53 of the same phase was provided, and is drawn in from the clearance gap S1 to the coil 53 side.

Close to. That is, the second wall portion 58B is not a shape symmetrical in the circumferential direction with respect to the center line Q, but a shape in which an edge on the connector 54 side is cut out. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the conducting wire 55 routed from the coil 53 to the connector 54 is disposed on the radially inner side of the second wall portion 58B, and is routed in the circumferential direction along the second wall portion 58B.

本形態では、ステータ11を金型内に配置して樹脂封止部材13を成形する際、ステータ11を軸線L方向に押圧して金型の端面に押し付ける押し付け部材である押し付けピン18(図8参照)を用いる。溝部61Aは、第1壁部58Aが配置される角度位置に配置された押し付けピン18と第1壁部58Aとの干渉を避けるための凹み形状である。同様に、溝部61Bは、第2壁部58Bが配置される角度位置に配置された押し付けピン18と第2壁部58Bとの干渉を避けるための凹み形状である。
In this embodiment, when the stator 11 is placed in the mold and the resin sealing member 13 is molded, the pressing pin 18 (FIG. 8) is a pressing member that presses the stator 11 in the direction of the axis L and presses it against the end surface of the mold. Reference) is used. The groove 61A has a concave shape for avoiding interference between the pressing pin 18 disposed at the angular position where the first wall 58A is disposed and the first wall 58A. Similarly, the groove 61B has a concave shape for avoiding interference between the pressing pin 18 disposed at the angular position where the second wall 58B is disposed and the second wall 58B.
後述するように、本形態では、押し付けピン18は6本用いられる。樹脂封止部材13には、押し付けピン18の配置跡である穴17(図4参照)が6か所に形成される。押し付けピン18は、6本のうちの2本は第1壁部58Aが設けられたインシュレータ52A
の周方向の中央を押圧し、残り4本のうちの2本は第2壁部58Bが設けられたインシュレータ52Bの周方向の中央を押圧し、残り2本は第3壁部58Cが設けられたインシュレータ52Cの周方向の中央を押圧する。第3壁部58Cは、インシュレータ52Cの周方向の中央を避けて配置されるため、押し付けピン18とは干渉しない。
As will be described later, in this embodiment, six pressing pins 18 are used. The resin sealing member 13 is formed with six holes 17 (see FIG. 4) that are the traces of the pressing pins 18. Of the six pressing pins 18, two of the six pressing pins 18 are provided with an insulator 52A provided with a first wall portion 58A.
Of the remaining four are pressed against the center in the circumferential direction of the insulator 52B provided with the second wall 58B, and the remaining two are provided with the third wall 58C. The circumferential center of the insulator 52C is pressed. Since the third wall portion 58C is arranged avoiding the center in the circumferential direction of the insulator 52C, it does not interfere with the pressing pin 18.
6本の押し付けピン18の配置跡である穴17は、それぞれ、インシュレータ52の周方向の中央と一致する角度位置に設けられる。第1コモン線支持部62が設けられたインシュレータ52Aにおいて、穴17が形成される角度位置(周方向の中央)には、第1コモン線支持部62と繋がる第2コモン線支持部63が配置される。このように、押し付けピン18が設けられた角度位置に第2コモン線支持部63を設けたことにより、コモン線55Aが押し付けピン18側へはみ出さないよう支持できる。従って、押し付けピン18とコモン線55Aとが干渉することを防止できる。また、押し付けピン18とインシュレータ52Aとの間にコモン線55Aが挟まって断線するなどの事態を防止できる。
The holes 17 that are the traces of the six pressing pins 18 are provided at angular positions that coincide with the circumferential center of the insulator 52. In the insulator 52A provided with the first common line support part 62, a second common line support part 63 connected to the first common line support part 62 is arranged at an angular position (center in the circumferential direction) where the hole 17 is formed. Is done. Thus, by providing the second common wire support portion 63 at the angular position where the pressing pin 18 is provided, the common wire 55A can be supported so as not to protrude to the pressing pin 18 side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pressing pin 18 and the common wire 55A from interfering with each other. Further, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the common wire 55A is sandwiched between the pressing pin 18 and the insulator 52A and the wire is disconnected.
同様に、第2壁部58Bが設けられたインシュレータ52Bにおいて、穴17が形成される角度位置(周方向の中央)には、第2壁部58Bが配置される。このように、押し付けピン18が設けられた角度位置に第2壁部58Bを設けたことにより、コネクタ54へ引き回される導線55が押し付けピン18側へはみ出さないよう支持できる。従って、押し付けピン18と導線55とが干渉することを防止できる。また、押し付けピン18とインシュレータ52Bとの間に導線55が挟まって断線するなどの事態を防止できる。
Similarly, in the insulator 52B provided with the second wall portion 58B, the second wall portion 58B is arranged at an angular position (center in the circumferential direction) where the hole 17 is formed. Thus, by providing the second wall portion 58B at the angular position where the pressing pin 18 is provided, it is possible to support the conductive wire 55 routed to the connector 54 so as not to protrude to the pressing pin 18 side. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the pressing pin 18 and the conducting wire 55 from interfering with each other. Further, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the conducting wire 55 is sandwiched between the pressing pin 18 and the insulator 52B and the wire is disconnected.
図8に示すように、コモン線55Aは、第1コモン線支持部62が設けられたインシュレータ52Aと周方向に隣り合うインシュレータ52Cに設けられた第3壁部58Cの隙間S2から外周側へ引き出される。そして、第1コモン線支持部62の隣に位置する第3壁部58Cに掛けられて、第3壁部58Cの径方向外側を通って第1コモン線支持部62側へ引き回された後、第3壁部58Cと第1コモン線支持部62との隙間S3から内周側へ押し込まれる。つまり、第1コモン線支持部62と周方向に隣り合う第3壁部58Cは、コモン線55Aをガイドするコモン線ガイド部として機能する。
As shown in FIG. 8, the common line 55A is drawn to the outer peripheral side from the gap S2 between the insulator 52A provided with the first common line support part 62 and the third wall part 58C provided in the insulator 52C adjacent in the circumferential direction. It is. Then, after being hooked on the third wall 58C located next to the first common wire support 62 and routed toward the first common wire support 62 through the radially outer side of the third wall 58C. The third wall portion 58C and the first common line support portion 62 are pushed into the inner peripheral side through the gap S3. That is, the third wall portion 58C adjacent to the first common line support portion 62 in the circumferential direction functions as a common line guide portion that guides the common line 55A.
第1コモン線支持部62は、第3壁部58Cから離れるに従って径方向内側へ向かう形状、言い換えれば、コモン線55Aの先端側に向かうに従って径方向内側へ向かう形状であり、この形状でコモン線55Aを径方向外側から支持する。従って、コモン線55Aは先端を内周側に向けた状態で支持され、コモン線55Aが第1コモン線支持部62から外れにくい状態が形成される。さらに、コモン線55Aの先端側には、第1コモン線支持部62と繋がる第2コモン線支持部63が配置されるので、コモン線55Aの先端部がステータ11の径方向外側へ飛び出さないよう支持される。つまり、コモン線55Aがインシュレータ52に仮固定される。この状態で樹脂封止部材13を成形することにより、コモン線55Aがステータ11の径方向外側に飛び出すことが防止される。
The first common line support portion 62 has a shape that goes inward in the radial direction as it moves away from the third wall portion 58C, in other words, has a shape that goes inward in the radial direction as it goes toward the distal end side of the common wire 55A. 55A is supported from the outside in the radial direction. Therefore, the common line 55A is supported with its tip directed toward the inner peripheral side, and a state is formed in which the common line 55A is unlikely to be detached from the first common line support portion 62. Furthermore, since the second common line support part 63 connected to the first common line support part 62 is arranged on the front end side of the common line 55A, the front end part of the common line 55A does not protrude outward in the radial direction of the stator 11. As supported. That is, the common line 55 </ b> A is temporarily fixed to the insulator 52. By molding the resin sealing member 13 in this state, the common wire 55 </ b> A is prevented from jumping out to the outside in the radial direction of the stator 11.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 54 and the insulator 52. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the same number of through holes 34 as the terminal pins 40 are formed in the bottom 32. Since three terminal pins 40 are attached to the connector housing 30 of this embodiment, the through holes 34 are formed at three locations. The three through holes 34 are arranged in a row in a direction orthogonal to the center line Q in the circumferential direction of the insulator 52 connected to the connector 54. As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, a concave portion 35 is formed on the output side L <b> 1 of the bottom portion 32 and is located radially inward (that is, on the insulator 52 side) with respect to the through hole 34. . The recess 35 has a hollow shape that is recessed on the counter-output side L2, and extends in a groove shape along the direction in which the three through holes 34 are arranged.

Holding grooves 37 (see FIGS. 5 and 7) that intersect with the recesses 35 are provided between the three sets of the through holes 34 and the through holes 36, respectively. The portion of the terminal pin 40 extending from the through hole 34 to the through hole 36 (a connecting portion 43 described later) is held by the holding groove 37.
端子ピン40は、断面形状が四角形の金属線を折り曲げることで形成されている。なお、端子ピン40は、断面形状が円形の金属線を折り曲げることで形成されていても良い。図9に示すように、端子ピン40は、コネクタハウジング30に圧入されて接続開口30aに向けて突出する端子接続部41と、コネクタハウジング30とインシュレータ52との間に配置される導線接続部42と、端子接続部41と導線接続部42とを繋ぐ連結部43とから構成される。端子接続部41と導線接続部42は軸線L方向と平行に延在する。また、連結部43は軸線L方向と直交する方向に延在し、端子接続部41および導線接続部42と略直角に繋がっている。
The terminal pin 40 is formed by bending a metal wire having a square cross-sectional shape. The terminal pin 40 may be formed by bending a metal wire having a circular cross section. As shown in FIG. 9, the terminal pin 40 is press-fitted into the connector housing 30 and protrudes toward the connection opening 30 a, and a conductor connecting portion 42 disposed between the connector housing 30 and the insulator 52. And a connecting portion 43 that connects the terminal connecting portion 41 and the conducting wire connecting portion 42.

図9に示すように、端子ピン40は、端子接続部41を貫通孔34に対して軸線L方向に圧入するとともに、導線接続部42を貫通孔36に通すことにより、コネクタハウジング30に取り付けられる。上述したように、連結部43をコネクタハウジング30の外側面に形成された保持溝37に保持させることにより、端子ピン40の回転が防止される。コネクタハウジング30への端子ピン40の組み付け時には、導線接続部42は全体として直線状である。導線接続部42の先端には、コネクタハウジング30へ組み付け後に導線接続部42の先端部を径方向内側へ略直角に屈曲させて形成した抜け止め部42aが設けられる。すなわち、導線接続部42は、内側壁33aに沿って直線状に延在する直線部42bおよび抜け止め部42aによって構成される。
As shown in FIG. 9, the terminal pin 40 is attached to the connector housing 30 by press-fitting the terminal connecting portion 41 into the through hole 34 in the direction of the axis L and passing the conducting wire connecting portion 42 through the through hole 36. . As described above, the terminal pin 40 is prevented from rotating by holding the connecting portion 43 in the holding groove 37 formed on the outer surface of the connector housing 30. When the terminal pin 40 is assembled to the connector housing 30, the conductor connecting portion 42 is linear as a whole. At the tip of the lead wire connecting portion 42, a retaining portion 42a formed by bending the tip end portion of the lead wire connecting portion 42 radially inward after being assembled to the connector housing 30 is provided. That is, the conducting wire connecting portion 42 is configured by a straight portion 42b and a retaining portion 42a that extend linearly along the inner wall 33a.
導線接続部42は、コイル53と端子ピン40とを接続する導線55が絡げられる部位である。導線接続部42は、導線接続部42に絡げられた導線55の抜けを抑制可能な抜け止め形状である。本形態の抜け止め形状は、導線接続部42の先端部(抜け止め部42a)が先端部と繋がる部分(直線部42b)に対して折れ曲がった折り曲げ形状である。抜け止め部42aは、先端が径方向内側を向くように折り曲げられる。なお、抜け止め部42aの屈曲角度は、略直角でなくてもよい。例えば、鈍角であってもよい。
The conducting wire connecting portion 42 is a portion where the conducting wire 55 that connects the coil 53 and the terminal pin 40 is entangled. The conducting wire connecting portion 42 has a retaining shape capable of suppressing the withdrawal of the conducting wire 55 entangled with the conducting wire connecting portion 42. The retaining shape of the present embodiment is a bent shape in which the tip end portion (the retaining portion 42a) of the conductor connecting portion 42 is bent with respect to the portion (the straight portion 42b) connected to the tip portion. The retaining portion 42a is bent so that the tip is directed radially inward. In addition, the bending angle of the retaining portion 42a may not be substantially a right angle. For example, an obtuse angle may be used.
図6に示すように、3本の導線接続部42は、コネクタハウジング30の内側壁33aに沿って、径方向と直交する方向に一定間隔で配置される。コネクタハウジング30は、内側壁33aから径方向内側へ垂直に突出する壁部38を備える。壁部38は、隣り合う導線接続部42の中間位置となる2箇所に設けられる。図8、図9に示すように、壁部38は、径方向内側の端縁が直線部42bよりも径方向内側に位置する。一方、壁部38は、軸線L方向の端縁が抜け止め部42aよりも出力側L1に位置する。言い換えれば、壁部38は、直線部42bに沿う方向の高さが、先端部である抜け止め部42aと直線部42bとが繋がる折り曲げ位置までの高さよりも低い。つまり、壁部38は、隣り合う直線部42bの間に届く幅であり、且つ、隣り合う抜け止め部42aの間には届かない高さの形状である。
As shown in FIG. 6, the three conductor connection portions 42 are arranged at regular intervals in the direction orthogonal to the radial direction along the inner wall 33 a of the connector housing 30. The connector housing 30 includes a wall portion 38 that vertically protrudes radially inward from the inner side wall 33a. The wall part 38 is provided in two places used as the intermediate position of the adjacent conducting wire connection part 42. FIG.

(Cover member positioning structure and fixing structure)
The cover member 14 is placed on the resin sealing member 13 from the output side L1 in a state where the rotor 10 is disposed inside the resin sealing member 13 and the rotor 10 is supported by the first bearing member 15. When the cover member 14 is put on the resin sealing member 13, the lower end portion of the inner annular rib 99 is fitted into the inner peripheral side of the sealing member cylindrical portion 67 of the resin sealing member 13 as shown in FIG. 2. As a result, the cover member 14 and the resin sealing member 13 are positioned in the radial direction, and the axis L of the rotary shaft 5 and the center axis of the stator 11 coincide.

The side fixing surfaces 72 and the distal end surfaces of the radial ribs 98 are opposed to each other with a predetermined gap. The adhesive is cured with the gap filled. Therefore, the cover member side fixing surface 72 and the distal end surfaces of the radial ribs 98 are fixed to the resin sealing member side fixing surface 71 via the adhesive layer 110.
第1接着剤溜まり部100は、カバー部材側固定面72に対して内周側に隣接した位置に設けられている。従って、カバー部材側固定面72の内周側にはみ出した過剰な接着剤は第1接着剤溜まり部100に保持される。また、カバー部材14は、カバー部材側固定面72とカバー部材側位置規制面73との間に設けられた第2接着剤溜まり部101を備える。従って、カバー部材側固定面72から外周側にはみ出した過剰な接着剤は、第2接着剤溜まり部101に保持される。
The first adhesive reservoir 100 is provided at a position adjacent to the inner peripheral side with respect to the cover member side fixing surface 72. Therefore, excess adhesive that protrudes to the inner peripheral side of the cover member side fixing surface 72 is held in the first adhesive reservoir 100. The cover member 14 includes a second adhesive reservoir 101 provided between the cover member side fixing surface 72 and the cover member side position regulating surface 73. Therefore, excess adhesive that protrudes from the cover member-side fixing surface 72 to the outer peripheral side is held in the second adhesive reservoir 101.
(本形態の主な作用効果)
以上のように、本形態のモータ2およびポンプ装置1は、ステータ11に外部コネクタを着脱可能なコネクタ54が設けられる。このコネクタ54に設けられる端子ピン40の
導線接続部42の先端部が抜け止め形状であるため、導線接続部42に絡げられた導線55の抜けが抑制される。従って、端子ピン40から導線55が外れるおそれを少なくすることができる。また、導線55と端子ピン40との接続に配線基板を用いないので、部品点数を削減できるとともに、コネクタ54の小型化を図ることができる。
(Main effects of this embodiment)
As described above, the motor 2 and the pump device 1 of the present embodiment are provided with the connector 54 to which the external connector can be attached to and detached from the stator 11. Since the tip end portion of the lead wire connecting portion 42 of the terminal pin 40 provided in the connector 54 has a retaining shape, the lead wire 55 entangled with the lead wire connecting portion 42 is prevented from coming off. Therefore, the possibility that the conducting wire 55 is detached from the terminal pin 40 can be reduced. In addition, since no wiring board is used to connect the conductive wire 55 and the terminal pin 40, the number of components can be reduced and the connector 54 can be downsized.
本形態のコネクタ54は、複数(3本)の端子ピン40を備えており、これらはコネクタハウジング30とインシュレータ52との間に突出するように組み付けられる。その結果、3本の導線接続部42が互いに間隔を空けて配置される。また、コネクタ54は、コネクタハウジング30から突出する2つの壁部38が、それぞれ、隣り合う導線接続部42の間に配置される。従って、壁部38によって隣り合う導線接続部42に接続される導線55同士が接触することを抑制することができる。従って、導線55の短絡を抑制することができる。
The connector 54 of this embodiment includes a plurality (three) of terminal pins 40, which are assembled so as to protrude between the connector housing 30 and the insulator 52. As a result, the three conductor connecting portions 42 are arranged with a space therebetween. In the connector 54, the two wall portions 38 that protrude from the connector housing 30 are disposed between the adjacent conductor connection portions 42. Therefore, it can suppress that the conducting wires 55 connected to the conducting wire connection part 42 adjacent by the wall part 38 contact. Therefore, a short circuit of the conducting wire 55 can be suppressed.
本形態では、導線接続部42は折り曲げ形状であり、直線部42bと、直線部42bに対して径方向内側へ折れ曲がった抜け止め部42aを備える。そして、隣り合う導線接続部42の間に配置される壁部38は、抜け止め部42aに届かない高さであるため、抜け止め部42aの間に半田付け用のコテなどを入れることができる。従って、導線55の短絡を抑制できる構造でありながら、導線55を導線接続部42に半田付けする作業が壁部38によって妨げられないようにすることができる。なお、抜け止め形状は1回折り曲げた折り曲げ形状でなくてもよく、2回折り曲げてかぎ型にしてもよい。また、折り曲げ角度は鈍角や鋭角でもよい。あるいは、湾曲形状でもよい。
In this embodiment, the conductor connecting portion 42 has a bent shape, and includes a straight portion 42b and a retaining portion 42a that is bent radially inward with respect to the straight portion 42b. And since the wall part 38 arrange | positioned between the adjacent conducting wire connection parts 42 is the height which does not reach the retaining part 42a, a soldering iron etc. can be put between the retaining parts 42a. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wall portion 38 from hindering the operation of soldering the lead wire 55 to the lead wire connection portion 42 while the structure can suppress the short circuit of the lead wire 55. The retaining shape does not have to be a bent shape that is bent once, but may be a hooked shape that is bent twice. The bending angle may be an obtuse angle or an acute angle. Alternatively, a curved shape may be used.
本形態のコネクタ54は、インシュレータ52のコア外側面覆い部52aと繋がるコネクタハウジング30を備え、インシュレータ52はコア外側面覆い部52aから突出するガイド凸部39を備え、ガイド凸部39によって、コイル53からコネクタ54へ引き回される導線55をガイドすることができる。従って、導線55の引き回しを容易にすることができる。また、ガイド凸部39は円柱状であるため、ガイド凸部39との接触によって導線55の被膜が剥がれるおそれが少ない。なお、ガイド凸部39を設ける代わりに、ガイド溝を設けることもできる。
The connector 54 of this embodiment includes a connector housing 30 connected to the core outer surface covering portion 52a of the insulator 52, and the insulator 52 includes a guide convex portion 39 protruding from the core outer surface covering portion 52a. A conductor 55 routed from 53 to the connector 54 can be guided. Therefore, the lead wire 55 can be easily routed. Moreover, since the guide convex part 39 is cylindrical, there is little possibility that the film of the conducting wire 55 is peeled off by contact with the guide convex part 39. Instead of providing the guide convex portion 39, a guide groove can be provided.
本形態のコネクタ54は、コネクタハウジング30に端子ピン40を圧入により取り付けるため、コネクタ封止部66を樹脂成形する際に、圧入用の貫通孔34からコネクタハウジング30内に樹脂が入り込むことを防止できる。従って、コネクタハウジング30内に配置される端子ピン40の端子接続部41に樹脂が付着することを防止できる。
Since the connector 54 of this embodiment is attached to the connector housing 30 by press fitting, the resin is prevented from entering the connector housing 30 from the press-fitting through hole 34 when the connector sealing portion 66 is molded with resin. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the resin from adhering to the terminal connection portions 41 of the terminal pins 40 arranged in the connector housing 30.
本形態の端子ピン40は、コネクタハウジング30への端子接続部41の圧入方向と交差する方向に延在する連結部43を備えており、端子ピン40は、コネクタハウジングの外側面に形成された保持溝37に連結部43が保持された状態に組み付けられる。これに、端子接続部41を中心として端子ピン40が回転することを防止できるので、コネクタ封止部66を成形する際に端子ピン40が回転することを防止できる。
The terminal pin 40 of this embodiment includes a connecting portion 43 that extends in a direction intersecting the press-fitting direction of the terminal connecting portion 41 to the connector housing 30, and the terminal pin 40 is formed on the outer surface of the connector housing. The connecting portion 43 is assembled to the holding groove 37 in a state where it is held. Since the terminal pin 40 can be prevented from rotating around the terminal connecting portion 41, the terminal pin 40 can be prevented from rotating when the connector sealing portion 66 is formed.
