Patent ID: 8319382

Claim:
An electric motor having a wire connection structure for connecting an electric power supply wire member supplying an electric power from outside of the electric motor with the electric motor, the electric motor comprising: a stator having at least one of stator coils; a rotor arranged at an inner side relative to an inner circumferential surface of the stator while allowing the rotor to be rotatable relative to the stator; a motor housing accommodating therewithin the stator and the rotor; a through hole formed at the motor housing; a fixing portion formed at the stator so as to extend from an inside of the motor housing towards the through hole; at least one of load receiving members inserted into the through hole from an outside of the housing and having a through bore whose one end portion opens to the fixing portion; at least one of conductive members connected to the electric power supply wire member and arranged at a first end portion of the load receiving member; at least one of first terminals connected to the stator coil and provided between a second end portion of the load receiving member and the fixing portion; and at least one of screw bolts fixing the conductive member, the load receiving member and the first terminal on the fixing portion, and the load receiving member is press-fixedly sandwiched by the conductive member and the first terminal by means of the screw bolt, so that the conductive member and the first terminal are connected so as to be conductive therebetween via the load receiving member.
