Patent number: 9991757Abstract: Communication grooves for communicating an outer circumferential side with an inner circumferential side of a stator core are formed at a contact face, that contacts the stator core, of a three-phase terminal fixing member. Furthermore, a retention part deeper than the communication grooves is formed. When resin is injected, air between the stator core and a stationary mold and between the stator core and a movable mold is discharged to the outside through the communication grooves, and thus it is possible to suppress formation of voids between the stator core and the stationary mold and between the stator core and the movable mold. In addition, the resin expands by releasing its pressure at the retention part, and thus it is possible to suppress the resin from flowing to the outside through the communication grooves.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventors: Kentaro Haruno, Kazuki Asada
