Abstract

Disclosed herein is a motor terminal assembly comprising a terminal case comprising a terminal accommodation portion accommodate a terminal of another component, and a front end portion having a larger horizontal cross-section than a terminal hole so as to be caught by the terminal hole outside a bracket, and a body portion formed beneath the front end portion and having a smaller horizontal cross-section than the terminal hole so as to move in the terminal hole and A part of electrical connection means to be connected to a terminal a busbar terminal, and to be located at inside the terminal case. Consequently, it may be possible to prevent damage to the terminal and more effectively prevent the terminal from being inclined or biased in an initial state in which the terminal is inserted into a terminal hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor terminal assembly comprising:
a terminal case comprising a terminal accommodation portion to accommodate a terminal of another component and a front end portion having a larger horizontal cross-section than a terminal hole so as to be caught by the terminal hole outside a bracket, and a body portion formed beneath the front end portion and having a smaller horizontal cross-section than the terminal hole so as to move in the terminal hole; and
a flexible cable to be connected to a connection terminal and the connection terminal is located inside the terminal case,
wherein the flexible cable is arranged in a U-shape from the connection terminal to a busbar terminal.

2. The motor terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein the terminal case comprises a rear end portion which is formed beneath the body portion and has a larger horizontal cross-section than the terminal hole so as to be caught by the terminal hole inside the bracket.

3. The motor terminal assembly of claim 2 , wherein the rear end portion is formed in an elastically deformable wedge block.

4. The motor terminal assembly of claim 2 , the front end portion and the body portion and the rear end portion of the terminal case are integrally formed.

5. The motor terminal assembly of claim 1 , one end of the flexible cable connected to the connection terminal and another end of the flexible cable connected to the busbar terminal which is located at a higher height than the height of the lower end of the connection terminal.

6. The motor terminal assembly of claim 1 , the busbar terminal and the electrical connection means are integrally formed, and the busbar terminal comprising a base portion connected to a busbar, and an extension portion extending from the base portion and to be located in the terminal accommodation portion.

7. The motor terminal assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a pair of hook portions formed on both sides of the body, respectively, and configured so as to be open to be further away from each other as directed toward the front end portion and to be elastically deformable.

8. The motor terminal assembly of claim 6 , wherein the extension portion comprises at least one bent region.
