  • Publication number: 20230253848
    Abstract: An insulator, a stator, and an electric motor capable of improving molding accuracy and assemblability are provided. An insulator 26 includes a first insulator 61 and a second insulator 62 to be attached from both axial sides of a stator core. The first insulator 61 has a first core end surface covering portion 65 and a first skirt portion 79. The second insulator 62 has a second core end surface covering portion 265 and a second skirt portion 279. The insulator 26 includes a coil lead-out portion 77 provided integrally with only the first core end surface covering portion 65 for leading out terminal portions of coils from the first insulator 61 to the outside. A length of the longest portion of the second skirt portion 279 in the axial direction is greater than a length of the longest portion of the first skirt portion 79 in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 10756733
    Abstract: A first separator that prevents a pair of electrodes from short-circuiting each other is provided on end parts of the pair of electrodes in a longitudinal direction thereof, a first molded resin part that covers the first separator is provided on an end part of an insulation tube in a longitudinal direction thereof, a part of the first separator) on one side in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction and another part of the first separator on the other side in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction are each exposed to outside. When the first separator is embedded in the first molded resin part through insert molding, the first separator can be supported by a lower mold and an upper mold, portions of the first separator supported by the pair of molds at this time are portions exposed to outside.

  • Patent number: 10370878
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a touch sensor unit. A conductive component is arranged between a pair of electrodes which are arranged inside an insulating tube, and the conductive component includes: a body section, which extends in a longitudinal direction of the insulating tube; and a convex section, which is arranged on an outer circumference of the body section, extends along the longitudinal direction of the body section, and sinks into the pair of electrodes. Short circuit or non-short circuit and so on of the electrodes can be detected by detecting the resistance value of the conductive component. Merely by inserting the conductive component into one end in the longitudinal direction of the electrodes, the pair of electrodes are electrically connected, and only the convex section sinks into the pair of electrodes, therefore the insertion load of the conductive component can be reduced, and the terminal treatment can be simplified.
