Claim 1:
2. A brushless motor comprising:
a stator that includes a stator core having an annular section and a plurality of teeth formed in a radial pattern around an outer side of the annular section, the stator also including a plurality of windings wound around the plurality of teeth;
a rotor that includes a rotor housing having a top wall disposed on one axial direction side of the stator and a peripheral wall surrounding the stator, the rotor also including a plurality of magnets fixed to the peripheral wall; and
a circuit board that is disposed on another axial direction side of the stator and that is electrically connected to terminal portions of the plurality of windings, the terminal portions extending to the other axial direction side of the stator, wherein:
the brushless motor is an outrunner type of brushless motor configured such that a number of magnetic poles of the plurality of magnets and a number of slots between the plurality of teeth respectively equal either ten poles and twelve slots or fourteen poles and twelve slots;
the plurality of windings are configured by delta-connected three-phase windings; and
when the plurality of teeth are sequentially denoted as a first tooth to a twelfth tooth on progression toward one circumferential direction side of the stator,
in a first phase winding,
a winding-start terminal portion of the first phase winding is placed in an eighth slot between a seventh tooth and an eighth tooth, the first phase winding is wound in a counterclockwise direction around the seventh tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the seventh tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the first phase winding is then inserted into a third slot between a second tooth and a third tooth and wound in a counterclockwise direction around the second tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the second tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward another circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the first phase winding is then inserted into a first slot between the first tooth and the twelfth tooth and wound in a clockwise direction around the first tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the first tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the other circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section, and
the first phase winding is then inserted into the eighth slot between the seventh tooth and the eighth tooth and wound in a clockwise direction around the eighth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the eighth tooth, and a winding-finish terminal portion of the first phase winding is then placed in a ninth slot between the eighth tooth and a ninth tooth,
in a second phase winding,
a winding-start terminal portion of the second phase winding is placed in a sixth slot between a fifth tooth and a sixth tooth, the second phase winding is wound in a clockwise direction around the sixth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the sixth tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the other circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the second phase winding is then inserted into an eleventh slot between a tenth tooth and an eleventh tooth and wound in a clockwise direction around the eleventh tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the eleventh tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the second phase winding is then inserted into the first slot between the twelfth tooth and the first tooth and wound in a counterclockwise direction around the twelfth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the twelfth tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section, and
the second phase winding is then inserted into the sixth slot between the fifth tooth and the sixth tooth and wound in a counterclockwise direction around the fifth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the fifth tooth, and a winding-finish terminal portion of the second phase winding is then placed in a fifth slot between a fourth tooth and the fifth tooth, and
in a third phase winding,
a winding-start terminal portion of the third phase winding is placed in the ninth slot between the ninth tooth and the eighth tooth, the third phase winding is wound in a clockwise direction around the ninth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the ninth tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the third phase winding is then inserted into the eleventh slot between the tenth tooth and the eleventh tooth and wound in a counterclockwise direction around the tenth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the tenth tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section,
the third phase winding is then inserted into a fourth slot between the third tooth and the fourth tooth and wound in a counterclockwise direction around the third tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the third tooth, and a crossover wire is then routed toward the one circumferential direction side of the annular section on the other axial direction side of the annular section, and
the third phase winding is then inserted into the fourth slot between the third tooth and the fourth tooth and wound in a clockwise direction around the fourth tooth as viewed from a leading end side of the fourth tooth, and a winding-finish terminal portion of the third phase winding is then placed in the fifth slot between the fourth tooth and the fifth tooth.
