Abstract
In a motor stator structure, a neutral-point bus ring is arranged along an inner peripheral portion of a stator, and alternately includes a larger-diameter portion, a first link portion, a smaller-diameter portion, and a second link portion. An end of a wound wire pulled out of a coil is located between radially-extending adjacent first and second link portions. A connecting terminal is connected at one end to the end of the wound wire, and at the other end to the first and second link portions. The use of the neutral-point bus ring ensures that a neutral point can be formed without bending the end of the wound wire of the coil into a U-shape. Particularly when a rectangular cross-section wire difficult to bend is used as the wound wire, the processing cost can be reduced.
