1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a motor.
2. Description of the Related Art
JP-A 2007-006592 discloses a conventional brushless motor in which a drive current is supplied to each coil without the use of a busbar, with a view to achieve a reduction in the size of the brushless motor. Specifically, an insulator covering a stator is arranged to support connector fittings which serve as terminals of windings. In addition, an externally projecting pin arranged to establish electrical continuity between an inside and an outside of the motor is supported by a bearing holder. The windings and the externally projecting pin are connected to the connector fittings by welding.
As described above, the brushless motor disclosed in JP-A 2007-006592 is structured such that the drive current is supplied to each coil without the use of a busbar, in order to achieve a reduction in size.
However, the provision of the connector fittings between the windings and the externally projecting pin results in an increased number of parts used when assembling the brushless motor. Moreover, when the brushless motor is assembled, it is necessary to weld the connector fittings to the windings and weld the connector fittings to the externally projecting pin. The increased number of parts thus involves an increased number of welding points, which complicates an operation of assembling the brushless motor.
